Headsup: Official "SkypeKit" SDK with Video is in Beta

So Skype are finally doing something about video in other apps: http://blogs.skype.com/developer/2010/06/skypekit_beta.

High/Low points:

:) It Does Video - actually, it's basically Naked Skype - roll your own GUI;
:( It's a Beta program at this time (31-Aug-2010);
:( You need an invite - I haven't tried for one, so don't know how hard they are to get;
:( There's a fee (< USD20) for the SkypeKit SDK;
:( There's "an add-on fee for user experience and audio/video testing and certification" before you can say you're "plugged into Skype";

Anybody?

I'm happy to make a donation to help a developer with the fee, but i have no coding skills so cant help there.

Hi Guys,

Sorry to inform you that devellopment is halted since a few weeks now, I don't have any spare time left until the end of october...
If anybody want to take over this project I'll be happy to send over the source, if not I'll continue this project in a few weeks...

Sorry again,
Fripsy

    Hey Fripsy, I am looking at some code as well... if ya dont mind pls send me over anything u can spare, as I would love to see what you are working with so far. I am unsure at this point if I want to continue with what you have or start new as I have some ideas about some advance Skype features in the 5.0 release, and that might take a core rewrite, I don't know. As this is my first project with MP I might be in over my head, but I have been a Skype developer for over 4 years so I know it very well. Anyway it works out I think if we partner up we can produce something really nice. I have some (little) free time until after the first week of October, and my passion for American football drains a lot of my fall free time but I should be able to put in 25-45 hours a week in on it. Anyway, let me know!

    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...
