While a proper Skype Addon is not developed, you may be interested in my simple Windows AutoHotKey script.
With it you can choose any three keys on your remote to:
1. Answer a Skype call with video
2. Terminate a Skype call
3. Make a Skype (group) call with video [select contact(s) and Jump to Conversation]
While the script is not integrated on Kodi, and does not display a pop-up for an incoming call, I believe it provides a minimum set of actions to interact with Skype using your remote.
Please do:
- enable Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Shortcuts -> Activate Shortcuts box in Skype menu
- edit script and change the trigger keys to whatever maps best for you remote
- install
AutoHotKey and compile AutoHotKeys.ahk file by double-clicking on it.
AutoHotKeys.ahk file (write it to your Windows Startup folder):
Code:
#NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
