    Hi all,

    What is the current situation with the .mpei file on post #1 of this thread?

    1) Will it work with MP1.2?
    2) Is it good enough to control Skype (albeit not with the ideal user interface with MP in full API mode)?
    3) Are there any major problems with function or stability?

    Thanks

    Robbo100

    Skype works via MP... but video is not an option yet. Most likely never will be as Skype would have to release the package for video and they (MS) stopped the plans to have ti released when they bought it.
    As for getting a 1.2 compatible version of the plugin, I will look into that soon.

    I am working on getting a 1.2 compatible version out soon guys. I am asking around to see who can take on this plugin for just the conversion only. You have to keep in mind that I am not a coder, so I have to go around and bat my eyelashes and ask sweetly until someone does it. Due to the fact that there are no ladies on the team, my chances of success are greatly reduced =) But I believe I will find someone =)


    Actually I just sent Fripsy a PM... he is a good dude I am sure he will update this so ppl can use MP to handle voice communication =)

    When he does, everyone make sure to say thanks =)

    Didn't Microsoft buy Skype for a whopping $8.5 billion?
    But I doubt that will change anything soon(crossed fingers).

    Yes they did, i changed my post... i have NO IDEA why i typed google other than I was working on a google+ app at the time

    Hi Guys & Dolls,

    I'm (again) on a businesstrip, this time till mid october...
    If I have the time (that's a big IF), I'll look into it...

    Will have to learn what's involved to make a plugin compatible, as I'm not into it for a long time now...
    Quarter has the full source, I guess he is the man to talk to now...

    Cheers.

    I did get the sources from Quarter some time ago, but never got around to really look into them. Today I started a bit and was able to call the Skype Echo Service from within MP 1.2 Final ;)
    The skinfiles need some big care to get in sync with the source. I'll see how much time I can chop off my OnlineVideos chores to get this in a better state.

    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...
