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.

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

Works for me, but others might require to install the runtime for the focus tool.

Think this is the right one: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784

@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

I use it regularly, and I really enjoy it

Everything is working as should now. Great plugin!

The other thing we need to look at is handling multiple instances of Skype. Because this is for a HTPC chances are there are multiple Skype users.

@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?

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:

 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...
