Skype4MP with video (1 Viewer)

Some general skin remarks to latest version:
list still does not show default avatar if no avatar is available
translations for hidden menu (buttons) still missing
THX for your efforts, @mts

 

[mts]

-> default avatar:
Normally it should show this avatar: C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\SKINTYPE\Media\Skype4MP\defaulAvatar.jpg
if there is no avatar for a contact.
I will take a look a the buttons -> could you give me a hint what I have to look for? what buttons?

Yup, I have that in there, but it does not work so far

what buttons?

The buttons in the hidden menu to change your status, call the history etc.

I checked the zip file of the first post.
the defaultAvatar.jpg is in subfolder "SkypeAvatars". Put it directly to Skype4MP and it will work

Well, did that now - no success

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...

So far tests are good, don't seem to have any nasty side effects. So now on to the more difficult part of not only selecting users but monitoring all at the same time. Not even sure if it's possible, I did see code for users but not sure yet if that's Skype users or windows users. [emoji10]

ah, ok. I called it defaulAvatar instead of defeaultAvatar.

Here is a new version with some more translations (just remove the lables from the skin file), I have corrected the filename for the defaultAvatar and added some error-logs.

Are you able to merge your code with SVN It would be good to be working with the same code as you.

I don't think that you will be able to run multiple skype-instances on one user-account. They will probably use some named mutex to check it. Maybe you can hack and and remove it, but there are also other methods to prevent multiple application instances...[DOUBLEPOST=1415449082][/DOUBLEPOST]I will do this later today, as I have to leave now. I need to create a google code account first.

BTW: the code is as spaghetti as before... I didn't had the motivation to rewrite everything...

You can I did it today, this is where the /secondary parameter comes to play. I think the only limit will be the api.

But then my knowledge is pretty limited so I could be missing something.
