    Some general skin remarks to latest version:
    list still does not show default avatar if no avatar is available
    translations for hidden menu (buttons) still missing ;)
    THX for your efforts, @mts (y)

    -> default avatar:
    Normally it should show this avatar: C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\SKINTYPE\Media\Skype4MP\defaulAvatar.jpg
    if there is no avatar for a contact.
    I will take a look a the buttons -> could you give me a hint what I have to look for? what buttons?

    I checked the zip file of the first post.
    the defaultAvatar.jpg is in subfolder "SkypeAvatars". Put it directly to Skype4MP and it will work

    Actually I have no idea how to change the current user.
    The way you try to start skype would have the advantage that you can have control over the focus, as MP would be the owner of the skype process. Anyway I'm not sure if skype will like this...

    So far tests are good, don't seem to have any nasty side effects. So now on to the more difficult part of not only selecting users but monitoring all at the same time. Not even sure if it's possible, I did see code for users but not sure yet if that's Skype users or windows users. [emoji10]

    ah, ok. I called it defaulAvatar instead of defeaultAvatar.

    Here is a new version with some more translations (just remove the lables from the skin file), I have corrected the filename for the defaultAvatar and added some error-logs.

    Are you able to merge your code with SVN It would be good to be working with the same code as you.

    I don't think that you will be able to run multiple skype-instances on one user-account. They will probably use some named mutex to check it. Maybe you can hack and and remove it, but there are also other methods to prevent multiple application instances...[DOUBLEPOST=1415449082][/DOUBLEPOST]I will do this later today, as I have to leave now. I need to create a google code account first.

    BTW: the code is as spaghetti as before... I didn't had the motivation to rewrite everything...

    You can I did it today, this is where the /secondary parameter comes to play. I think the only limit will be the api.

    But then my knowledge is pretty limited so I could be missing something.

    Hi. Als ich die neue Version von Media-Buddy fertig gestellt habe, habe ich auch mit FFMpeg 6 experimentiert. Ohne größere Anpassungen macht die Umstellung aber keinen Sinn, denn die mit FFMpeg 6 kodierten Videos haben bei zu FFMpeg 5 unveränderten Parametern große Probleme bei der Navigation innerhalb des Videos. Irgendwelche...

    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. I...
