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.

    The only changes I see are: Updated Marcel Groothuis version of the plugin to now support Media Portal 2.5 I can't say anything about the functionality of this plugin, I don't use TV Part, but if there are any changes that can be simply transferred, then I can try. But I can't give any guarantees.

    Hi @Greenhorn7, to help narrow this down a bit, I suspect that when the recordings menu entry is missing you are probably also missing menu entries for Videos, Movies, Series and Images too. Can you confirm? Does simply navigating to a different screen then back to home again cause the recordings menu item to show up? Those menu...
