    I had some time to at least check the latest skype kit. Turns out this won't get me far fast - there are no .net classes in there :( I'd have to start off write a .net wrapper, and then start the whole plugin from scratch since the new API is totally different to the old COM that the current plugins code base is using. It also looked like we would need to write some clever directshow filter (c++) to actually display the video :( - nothing I want to devote my spare time to.

    Maybe we should just stay with the current implementation - at least audio only calls work fine with the code I have so far.

    it would be great to have Video, that would be the major Difference to a "simple Plugin", that other MediaCentres already have. But if no Coder has Time to do this... :(

    But what about prices?
    I've read that it requires ~4000$ to develop an app?
    Is it true for our case?

    I just wanted to add that I am also looking forward to getting this plugin for Skype. Unfortunatly i have nothing to contribute as i can't code, but if their is anything else that myself or the community can do to help i'm sure they will be their to help.

    Keep up the excellent work.

    "...accelerates development of Skype video calling on embedded devices."

    this is unfortunately not for us...

    Ok I am tring a different route, I will try a p2p video calling app and store IP address's and user names on my server.
    Im still in early stages but aleast I've got video between my home network. I will make a standalone app for people without MP installed.
    It wont be fullscreen for some time, I have alot of work just to get a test version out.

    I meant use MP client to try to spot how it's requesting streams for specific channels and then try to do the same with VLC. TV Server development looks dead so I'm afraid you're going to have to figure that out by yourself if it's even possible.

    Well, all that remains is to find someone who will add this render if it is a render.

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

    OK....perhaps impatient of me I know, but went for a full reinstall....and now up and running once more. Have no idea what was at the root of this problem....still wondering if it may've been due to a Win11 update earlier this week?
