Wow. Skype kit is greater and better than skype api. I think, it will be best solution for mediaportal.
Waiting for test version for Skype5. ) Good luck, fripsy
Sorry, but due to the vast amount of changes in the skin files, I can't compile a working version right now...
I could use the help of someone who is really into skinning, as I'm having trouble to create the skin files the way I want.
At first I need the Blue3 and Blue3Wide, but I'll also need StreamedMP, as this skin is used on my own HTPC.
Anyone interested, please contact me, so that we can team up.
I don't use a plugin, but use multishortcut to run skype as an option from MP Basic Home. Skype provides appalling support for hot keys, so navigating round the skype application using a remote is.... shall we say "sub-optimal".
I am able to achieve the following with the mouse:
- highlight the contact list section (using "ALT+1") and then navigate using up and down buttons.
- with a contact highlighted I can call then by pressing "ALT+A" which selects to dropdown call option list, I then press down to select "Call" and press OK (enter).
- Skype then has some limited hotkeys which are available under the Tools>Options>Advance menu to allow hotkeys to be assigned for "answer" and "Hang-up".
- I then quit by using the TSKILL command line to kill the Skype.exe process (since ALT+F4 only minimises and the application continues in the taskbar and so multishortcut will not then return to MP).
With the above config, I can run Skype, call someone, hang up and return to MP all from the remote control. If you configure to auto enable webcam, then the same will work for video-calls.
Clearly the above setup has limitations (loads). For example, if someone Skypes (is this a verb nowadays?) whilst I am using MP, then I am not on-line so they can not reach me. So it is only useful for pre-arranged calls. However since I have a laptop using the same account then this isn't too much of a problem for me. It is however, very useful for having whole family Skype sessions in the comfort of the lounge with a nice big video of your friend.
Not sure if this is useful to anyone, but thought I would share my work-around.

Hello,
I would like to use a media server to display various learning categories. I prefer not to use software like Kodi, as it requires extensive metadata scraping that I don't need.
Is it possible to instantly access the video categories when landing on the page? I would like to display a single media page with the following...

Brief update... Hauppauge support responded quickly, stating that the "driver for all of our product confirm to the BDA format". Not sure what that means, but to test that, I downloaded a copy of Capture4Me, and indeed, it switches LNBs without any issues with minimal configuration (just set DiSEqC to 1.x A/B/C/D and select the...
