    Now MpFocusSetter.exe is telling telling me:

    This program can't start because MSVCP120.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

    Basically same as before, but this time the filename does not have the D on the end.

    That's because you're missing the VC++ 2013 redistributable.
    Get it here:

    You probably need the x86 (32 bit) one since MP is 32 bit software (runs under WOW64 on 64 bit OSes).

    @mts How are you handling the Skype window? There are ways to attach it to MP Context Graphics so its focused with mp on top, I found there are two ways, one works better than the other. I have been dealing with this tricky little beast of displaying windows in MP for a long time. Think the last plugin I did like this was FlashGames using Unity and flash players, Plugin didn't have much interest so I just dropped it. But I'm sure the hooks and window handling I used could be of some help? You might be past this problem already, Just letting you know I would hate to see someone stuck for as long as I was. Cheers

    @mts I started to have a play with @offbyone s svn to start Skype with a certain user with system diagnostics but this way It doesn't start in silent mode is there a way to do it with the api?

    Code:
    if (!m_skypeAccess.Client.IsRunning)
                {
                  Log.Debug("Skype4MP ==> Starting Skype client");
                  ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
                  startInfo.FileName = @"C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe";
                  startInfo.Arguments = "/secondary /username:USERNAME /password:PASSWORD";
                  startInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
                  startInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
                  System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(startInfo);
                  //m_skypeAccess.Client.Start(false, false);
                  Log.Debug("Skype4MP ==> Started  Skype client");
                }

    You can start skype by skype-api:

    Code:
     m_skypeAccess = new SKYPE4COMLib.Skype();
    
    if (!m_skypeAccess.Client.IsRunning)
    {
        m_skypeAccess.Client.Start(false, false);
    }
    
    // This should be handled in another thread.
    m_skypeAccess.SilentMode = true;
    cmd.Command = "SET SILENT_MODE ON"
    cmd.Blocking = true;
    cmd.Expected = s;
    m_skypeAccess.SendCommand(cmd);

    Actually I have no idea how to change the current user.
    The way you try to start skype would have the advantage that you can have control over the focus, as MP would be the owner of the skype process. Anyway I'm not sure if skype will like this...

    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...
