    Okay, got some things working here. I am adding a screen shot so you can see what I do, but it is just cosmetic stuff at the moment. I need to go out to the office and pic up my other webcam to test that out.

    Will report back soon.

    What's the skin code to make User/Contact Avatars show?

    Quite a few got stored fine in the "SkypeAvatars" folder, but I have not been able to make them show up inside the skin. Also Skype users who created an account with Microsoft show up as "live:username" which causes the avatar filename to fail. More then likely caused by the ":" character not being allowed on Windows file systems; replacing ":" for "_" would solve that.

    Log file is also filled with Skype4MP trying to download the avatar for stored phone numbers, so maybe exclude those when Skype username is in the "+12345556789" type of format.

    So far the user pictures are shown with "#selectedthumb".

    I just noticed that as I was changing the spincolor and position, but the avatars do not load. I see it references "cdthumbmask.png", "black.png" and "cdthumbframe.png". The only one of those three I have in the Media folder is black.png. Do the others come default with DefaultWide? I'm doing this on Titan Extended skin, and can not locate those.

    I made my first call over MP. It worked fine. But I noticed two things.

    1. Not only MP but also Skype asked if I want to take the call. Does anybody to get Skype to not show a popup when a call is incoming.
    2. I closed the call the my remote and got an error that "msvcr120d.dll" is missing.

    I`m on Windows 7 64bit and tried to find "msvcr120d.dll" but I found it only for 32bit. I tried to put it also in the root of MP: same error and it is not possile to register the file I found. Maybe someone can give me a working one.

    Edit: For 2. I tried to copy it to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ and it seems to work now.


    Thanks.

    I made skin for StremedMP, but I have two question. I think @catavolt could answer them.

    1. I have no thumbnails in my contact list, but I have seen your skin for DefaultWide has, even if I put my skin file in the skin folder from DefaultWide I see the thumbnails. What in StreamedMP is missing??

    2. In the DefaultWide I see a label with the name of the selected user over the contact list, but I don't find it in the skin file. Where it is in the skin file.

    Thanks in advance.

    That comes from a standard entry in common.window.xml where the #selecteditem is shown centered ;)

    I I understand you right, you see the thumbnails when you put your SMP xml into DefaultWide folder?
    Then pls check that the folder SkypeAvatars in SMP\Media\Skype4MP is EMPTY. Only then the actual avatar images are scraped from Skype and displayed.
    If you have Avatars from your contacts there, those won´t be shown (found it out by trial and error) ;)

    Correct

    Then pls check that the folder SkypeAvatars in SMP\Media\Skype4MP is EMPTY.

    The folder wasn't empty, but cleaning doesn't help because after entering the plugin all user images are back and still no thumbnails in the list.
    Then I added manually a userthumb (echo123.jpg) to the "SkypeAvatars" folder in DefaultWide and it is shown.

    That’s not possible, MP2 is not YouTube. There are several skins with different appearance and skin settings. I really recommend you check the wiki first. Most things you ask are documented. PS: A thumbnail should be shown if named correctly (see wiki again) and recognized by the importer. But it will be located within the OSD bar...

    That fixed the problem. I just manually installed VC_redist.x64.exe and reinstalled 1.32 64-bit. Thanks for that. A couple of things; the deployment tool for 1.32 doesn't remove the previous version when you're updating from 1.31 to 1.32 and "MediaPortal TV Server" gets installed even when you choose to install the client only.
