Version 0.1.1.3 is released...

Superceded by 0.1.1.4 - see https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/showpost.php?p=222619&postcount=200

Requires MediaPortal 0.2.3.0 (final), and later versions of Skype (3.2+ should be fine, but tested with 3.6.0.216), with the Extras Manager installed.

V0.1.1.3:

1. Added options to pause media while asking for confirmation of voice call or chat message responses.

2. Added Silent Mode option. Silent Mode (SM) suppresses all the notifications from Skype until you exit SM manually by doubleclicking on the System Tray icon, or (in our case) pressing the new Silent Mode button on the Skype plugin GUI. The button allows you to set/clear SM whenever you feel like it.

The Config SM option is always used when MP starts - the first time you enter SM, Skype will ask you to confirm that it's ok - I suggest you set the option to allow it permanently.

Note: Silent Mode should also prevent the annoying loss-of-focus issues that have been reported when calls arrive...

3. Added "Ignore incoming calls" option - if set, you can still do everything else, it just won't ask if you want to answer the call (calls shoudl still be tracked properly). Note: If this option is set you cannot answer a call from the plugin, although you can hold/stop/start video once the call has been started externally...

As always, report bugs etc here please. It always helps to please include your MediaPortal.log.

[Edit] Fixed the problem with BlueTwo not working properly (B2wide was fine...) - new version uploaded

Notes:

A start has been made on the Wiki documentation - see http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/Extensions-Plugins/Skype4MP

1. You need to install the Extras Manager when installing Skype - this will install the Skype4COM wrapper required. Alternatively, you can download Skype4COM from the Skype website at https://developer.skype.com/Docs/Skype4COM

2. Vista: On Vista, MediaPortal and Skype have to run at the same Integrity Level. Since MP runs as Administrator, this means that the best way to start Skype is to let MP do it (either automatically at start up, or on demand from the plugin).

3. Vista: If you have a Skype phone (e.g. Philips VOIP321), you have to make sure that its drivers are also running as administrator (since MP has to anyway). Otherwise, the phone will not be able to connect to Skype.
