[QUOTE="TesterBoy, post: 214243, member: 22382"] Hi Geov - This is a feature - SkypeOut contacts are only shown when SkypeOut is selected (supposed to make it harder to accidentally spend money, especially with little fingers in the house!). (My status is shown as Online on both Vista and XP SP2)... Can you post/PM your MediaPortal.log please? It sounds like the plugin didn't manage to initialise either itself, or the connection to Skype properly, so it isn't receiving/intercepting any Skype events. Hopefully there'll be a clue in the log... As a quick check, there should be a line in there that says something like this: [code]SP->Versions: Skype 3.6.0.216, Skype4COM 1.0.28.2, Protocol 8, Skype4MP 0.1.1.3[/code] I assume you have permitted MP to connect to Skype (otherwise it shouldn't be able to see the Contacts). You should find it already where mcraenz said (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Skype (version 1.0.28.2 is the latest (release)version)). If not, there might have been a problem with your Skype install (do you have anything in the Skype Tools/Do More menu, or under Options/Advanced). Anyway, I don't think it matters where you put it, but putting it in that directory will probably avoid problems with Skype upgrades in the future. (BTW - don't forget to regsvr32 it...)
