Here it is guys.


This is the new Skype plugin that allows you to control Skype from within Centrafuse.
It's supporting Chat, Voice calls, Voice-Mail, SMS and a lot of other stuff.
Have a look at the User manual before you download and install it. It'll explain some important steps.

Important: To run this plugin you must have Skype 3.6 or higher installed. Needless to say, that you need a valid Skype account as well.
Be aware that this plugin is compiled for CF 2.0! It's supposed to be running under 1.4x, however no warranties.

Here's the software for download (Beta, will expire).

If you want to test voice calls, you can add me to your contacts and ping me. *** removed (some people don't seem to know about time zones) ***


Update 1:
  • Added Auto Answer option
  • Added tabs for chatting with up to 4 contacts.
On a side not: I've tested it today while driving using a 3G internet connection. Everthing worked as expected. Amazing sound quality on voice calls (no echo at all, no drop-outs). Also, sending the current location to your chat partner containing the link to Google maps turned out to be a very useful feature (don't use it as you're at your girlfriends site while chatting with your wife though )



Update 2:
  • Added connection loss logic and delayed Skype initialization
