[QUOTE="fripsy, post: 1028820, member: 85604"] Just had this crazy idea... We almost all have a home PC along with our HTPC, connected on a router. If someone would create some sort of "Skype Middleware" on the home PC, sending audio, video, data over TCP/IP on demand, a MP-plugin could connect to that, making the MP-plugin a lot simpler and much more stable. The PC running the "Middleware" must have Skype installed and running. The "Middleware" can be maintained seperately from the MP-plugin and updated if Skype updates. The "Middleware" application would require a bit of hacking into the Windows system to get to the Skype video, this can be done as I already proved (Win7 only !!!). The webcam located on the HTPC can be streamed with something like YawCam for instance. So all we need: a coder with time on his/her hands! EDIT: Just re-read the post by offbyone, desktop api support will end at the end of this year... had to think of this 2 years ago... Cheers. [/QUOTE]
