Just to be clear:
In order to get Skype's incoming video into MP, you need a windows version with "Aero", this means it will work on Windows7 and some versions of Windows Vista, not on XP.

I'm now in the process of optimizing the video code to get it stable.

The plan was to get a version out before Christmas, but British Airways, Easyjet, Eurostar and the French TGV decided that I had to stay in London longer then I expected...

So, I'm back on it now fighting with full-screen TV and Skype PIP, full-screen Skype video with TV pip is working.
I noticed that in order to get Skype full-screen and TV in pip you need a lot of computing power, on my development pc tv is skipping some frames when in full-screen Skype...

I'll do my best to get a first version out before Christmas, but I don't know if that will possible...

Cheers,
Fripsy.

    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...
