    Well, the next update will not be very soon... because I decided to completely re-write the plugin.
    The things I want the plugin to do (like some nifty skin triks) are not possible the way the plgin is programatically setup right now.

    What I'de like to do:
    - no video area on the main screen, only your own user-status and the friends-list with the details of the highlighted friend, the menu is hidden at the left.
    - the "in-call" screen has the details of the ongoing call together with the video area.
    - fullscreen in-call video
    - Skype-video overlay for the ongoing tv-show, video, movie... kinda PIP
    - localization

    This also means that the skinfiles will change completely, sorry to all skinners out there...

    If anyone can think of something else, don't hesitate to let me know.

    I already started rewriting, but as my sparetime is limited for the moment, it could take a wile before I can publish something.

    The plugin will function under XP, it's only video that won't work.

    Yes, I already created a routine that forces Skype behind the MP window, even when MP is not set to "stay always on top". Occasionaly, this can cause a single flicker on making or receiving a call.

    hm, only the Video makes it interesting to use for me...
    But Thanks anyway for your awesome Work.
    I have to think about changing to Win7 for using your Plugin... ;)

    The only changes I see are: Updated Marcel Groothuis version of the plugin to now support Media Portal 2.5 I can't say anything about the functionality of this plugin, I don't use TV Part, but if there are any changes that can be simply transferred, then I can try. But I can't give any guarantees.

    Hi @Greenhorn7, to help narrow this down a bit, I suspect that when the recordings menu entry is missing you are probably also missing menu entries for Videos, Movies, Series and Images too. Can you confirm? Does simply navigating to a different screen then back to home again cause the recordings menu item to show up? Those menu...
