Hi TesterBoy

This is what I did to install on XP..

1) Installed the latest Skype (version 3.6) , and made sure that the extras-manager option was selected.
2) Installed the Skype4MP.MPI plugin
3) Enabled the plugin in MediaPortal

Now for my problem....

1) When I go to Skype in MediaPortal my status is displayed as 'Offline', even though 'Skype' itself shows that I'm Online.
2) The only options in the MP-plugin available to me are 'Start Skype' and ‘Chats’; the others are greyed out and cannot be selected.
3) The contact shown on the right only display my normal skype contacts, but not my SkypeOut contacts.
4) If I call one of my contacts skype makes the call and I can hear it ringing, but I cannot stop the call. I have to close/minimise MediaPortal and terminate the call in skype.

Nothing seams to work, what am I missing

I also downloaded "Skype4COM", but what do I do with the files? Do I put it into the MediaPortal, Windows or Skype folders?
