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.

    Hi. Als ich die neue Version von Media-Buddy fertig gestellt habe, habe ich auch mit FFMpeg 6 experimentiert. Ohne größere Anpassungen macht die Umstellung aber keinen Sinn, denn die mit FFMpeg 6 kodierten Videos haben bei zu FFMpeg 5 unveränderten Parametern große Probleme bei der Navigation innerhalb des Videos. Irgendwelche...

    That’s not possible, MP2 is not YouTube. There are several skins with different appearance and skin settings. I really recommend you check the wiki first. Most things you ask are documented. PS: A thumbnail should be shown if named correctly (see wiki again) and recognized by the importer. But it will be located within the OSD bar...

    That fixed the problem. I just manually installed VC_redist.x64.exe and reinstalled 1.32 64-bit. Thanks for that. A couple of things; the deployment tool for 1.32 doesn't remove the previous version when you're updating from 1.31 to 1.32 and "MediaPortal TV Server" gets installed even when you choose to install the client only. I...
