    i can skin this plugin for StreamedMP but i need to get it working on my own system first!

    pressing any button does not do anything for me. the only thing that works is clicking on a name on my contacts list which brings up the 'call' or 'contact details' dialog box which then lead to calling or viewing contact details (as it should)

    the buttons on the left (toggle video, skypeout, etc) dont work at all for me. i'm running skype 5 now and noticed the same problem with skype 4. do i need a specific version of skype 4 to make it work? hope you can help me so i can help you. thanks!

    That old version doesn't do much, it's just a test to show that video is possible.

    The new version will have a total different look and is planned within 2 weeks, possibly sooner... I hope...

    This is a sad day...

    As I was testing the video on other machines, I found out that video is not guaranteed to work on windows7.
    It seems to be hardware (driver) related.
    I tested on 3 different Win7 machines:
    - PC1: my "old" development Acer Aspire notebook: video works perfectly (Skype4 and Skype5)
    - PC2: my "new" development PC (no brand): video doesn't work with Skype5, starts but stops after 1 sec on Skype4
    - PC3: my HTPC (no brand): no video at all...

    :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    So, I'm halting all development now until I can get my hands on that SDK...
    Did sign up ages ago, but still no news...

    Thanks for listening.
    Fripsy

    :sorry:

    Oh, noo!
    fripsy, can you release your works as beta? It will be something working, that can work on some systems. Just for beta-test. Of course, next step possible only with sdk ((

    @frispy: please keep on working, you are making an awful Job! I also think, that releases of betas could help to find the Solution for a working Plugin. If we can help, we will do! So let us know...

    The problem is that even on my development pc it is not working... can't see what I'm doing then...

    I need to get my "old" Acer back up and running, had a crash, but it's the only pc where video works...
    Honestly, my moral is very low...

    Well, what I need... hmm... the Skype SDK would be a good start... :D

    really strange - I googled for the SDK - but all you find is annoucements - didn't find any info on some feedback on anyone who received the SDK (talking about the WinSDK - I think the LinuxSDK was already used by several suppliers...).
    So I didn't see any way to help - because signingup seems not to help, if noone invites ...
    Very sad, because this is something that would be a REALLY cool feature - all mepo users in videochats in the livingroom ;-) ...

    So if anybody here reads and has access to that SDK it would be great to discuss how this could be used for the implentation!

    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...
