    Skype in Media Centre

    Is this possible? Looking for a free plug-in to access Skype within Windows 7 MC and make video calls.

    Anyone know of such a thing?

    Its 15 eruros! Hardly a lot.

    Have you tried it with win7? Plenty of them still work as MS didn't really break anything, you just might have to change the menu entries
    throw new ArgumentException (String, String, Exception)

    I read on thegreenbutton that it does not work correctly in Win 7 despite numerous attempts at fixing it. The creator is apparently working on it.

    Theres so many plug-in for MC and Im surprised theres nothing out there...
