New plugin: MySkype (1 Viewer)

[johns11]

Hi spiek81. I'd like to get this going but can't get past issues with skin files as you've experienced.
Could you help me to understand what I need:
1./ Is there a "bleu 2" skin which differs from "blue 2" or is it the same thing? Sorry if this is obvious
2./ what are the "plugin files" that need to be copied from the media folder? Are they just the .png files?

I have "myskype.xml" in my skin dir and "myskype-*.png in my media dir. When trying to start Skype I an error about myskype.xml being missing or invalid and the following in the error log:
2009-08-24 14:40:49.812500 [ERROR][MPMain]: No translation found for id 209144

Hi elevation1

I got the other skype plugin "skype4mpupdated" working well with MP 1.0.2. It even does video one direction (out of MP). There were a couple of tricks:
1./ Once MP is started the first time you need to go back into the skype application dialog and there should be a message saying the mediaportal.exe want to communicate with skype. so click ok on that.
2./ I got the skin files out of the source on sourseforge but they may be in the zip provided.
