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.

    I meant use MP client to try to spot how it's requesting streams for specific channels and then try to do the same with VLC. TV Server development looks dead so I'm afraid you're going to have to figure that out by yourself if it's even possible.

    Well, all that remains is to find someone who will add this render if it is a render.

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

    OK....perhaps impatient of me I know, but went for a full reinstall....and now up and running once more. Have no idea what was at the root of this problem....still wondering if it may've been due to a Win11 update earlier this week?
