Skype Integration (Windows Only) - olixelle - 2016-02-16
Hello
i'm happy to anounce the first alpha release for my skype addon (for windows platform only).
This first release is an alpha one, meaning that it's not 100% stable and may (does) include some bugs
Features
- Displays the contact list in kodi
- Allow to call a contact or accept a call
Installation
1. Install SkypeXmlController (windows based software controlling skype)
- Download the zip file here : SkypeXmlController.zip
- Extract anywhere (let's say in c:\)
2. Test SkypeXmlController
- Make sure that skype is running
- Run SkypeXmlController.exe
- When you launch SkypeXmlController, the skype window should disappear
- A new head skulll icon should appear in the windows notification bar
- go in the c:\var\skype2kodi, there should be a friends.xml file containing all your skype contacts
3. Install SkypeForKodi plugin
- Download the latest release zip from here : https://github.com/olixelle/SkypeKodi/releases
- Install the zip using the kodi install addon from zip file feature
- Configure the plugin : go in kodi > system > addons > skype > configure, and select the "var" directory from SkypeXmlController (c:\var\)
- Launch the plugin in kodi : you should have your friends list
Once again, this is a first alpha version, so do not hesitate to ask if you get some issues
Waiting forward to hear you

Hello olixelle
I must to say, this is a great thing for the community.
I'm all done by your instructions, but I have a error when I run SkypeXmlController.vshost.exe
With SkypeXmlController.exe, everything is OK. So my var folder is empty, do you have any advice?

Hey there, I tried to install, got everything right until not seeing any XML file in skypetokodi folder. Any idea why?
RE: Skype Integration (Windows Only) - bnikos83 - 2016-03-04
Hi everyone, has anyone had any luck with this addon?
Will be visiting my parents this weekend and would like to install it in their setup.
RE: Skype Integration (Windows Only) - Amelsfort - 2016-03-04
I have the same issue: no XML files are created but I believe this is an issue with SkypeXmlController, which is a separate tool, written by someone else. I just noticed it's the same author.

create a file friends.xml file and place
SkypeXmlController\var\skype2kodi\
and automatically containing all your skype contacts.
After starting SkypeXmlController.exe
Translation Set as using google translator.

I can confirm this works perfect.
Thanks.
Now I have in kodi next error:
In var I have everything.
Any help is welcome.

Hi unfrortunately i did not have the chance to try this addon yet but i am really excited about it.
From the post above i cannot understand if the addon worked or not for you guys. Is the basic functionality (receive/make video calls) working ok?
Thanks in advance.
RE: Skype Integration (Windows Only) - Amelsfort - 2016-03-08
Creating an empty ´friends.xml´ will fix the issue indeed!
But I also ran into the same error as mentioned above (list index out of range), but I found the solution: the error says it´s unable to find data in the name field in the profile. When I added my full name in my Skype profile, the addon seems to work. Although I haven´t tried calling someone yet (it´s 23:37 over here, so I don´t think my friends would like it
).

Hi Amelsfort
I can confirm this what you say, everyone who has trouble in kodi, just need to log on skype and add your name.
I will call my friends later, now is 7:00
RE: Skype Integration (Windows Only) - bnikos83 - 2016-03-09
Hi All! Any news on this? Has there been a succesful video call? Either incoming or outgoing?

RE: Skype Integration (Windows Only) - mzup - 2016-05-14
I set this up, but don't see my contact. Does this work? Is there a certain version of skype needed? If contact does not have avatar, would that prevent it from showing on screen? Friends.xml does not list contact anyways.
