I too have noticed mobilecall.skin does not show. It did once for me a few releases ago but now it just rings (then auto answers ugh i gotta find a fix for that lol )

I have taken some steps backwards. I had the plugin working but I noticed that I had the files in the root of the Road Runner directory so I removed them and I am now trying to get it to work from the \plugin\mobilephone directory.
RR is not recognizing the plugin. How do I configure that?

The first post says to use the carwings plugin manager skin to do this but I can't find a carwings with a plugin manager. I have downloaded and tried Carwings_Dynamic
and Carwings-V2 with no luck finding the plugin manager.

Update: using post #77 I was able to get the plugin working again.
Update2: I have it popping up A skin now on incoming call. Now I just have to produce a skin for DigitalFX that pauses the playback untill I click resume.
Update3: Odd. It seems to automaticaly resume playback when the call ends but I had to make it pause by adding the "play" command to my skin load. oh well. It works as I want though it doesn't look good because I am terrible at skinning.

by incomplete do you mean I haven't supplied a mobilecall.skin? I am working on one for freedom ultimate (thats what I use) and then one for bmv2.

The plugin supplies a variable mobilephone_photopath which uses the settings from the ini file to say where the photo's should be and what file extension. However looking into the code its not updated when it should. I'll fix it for the next release so that either an incomming or outgoing call updates it.

Carwings is supplied with the new riderunner. Thats what I'm refering too as the plugin manager is part of ride runner.

The plugin should automatically send a PAUSE command to RR when you send a mobilephone_pickup or dial. the auto answer also sends a PAUSE. Then it will send PLAY when there is no call and it was previously paused. I used PAUSE rather than MUTE so you dont miss any of the song.

Care to share the skin with other users? I intend to make one of my first post messages into a skin post.

Both of the files in the original post include a mobilephone.skin. Neither of them include a mobile_call.skin. I made a skin to popup called myCall.skin but I think I'll try renaming it to mobile_call.skin and see what happens...although sonicxtacy02 is saying his doesn't come up now so I guess it won't do any good.

the skin is called mobilecall.skin without the underscore. It works for me everytime.

Thanks for the update on the file name but that file is not in those packages either.

One other thing:Where is the "x,mobilephone" supposed to go and what does it do? Does it tell RR there is a plugin out there or what? I put it in my skin.ini file for my skin but I am not sure where it should go. Your instructions just say to put it in your main skin file which is rather ambiguous.
Again, thanks for making this and thanks for any help you can give.

update: ok, I put "x,mobilephone" in my menu.skin and it works now.

yeah that is what i meant..
one thing i noticed (when i turned auto answer off in the ini) is that the mobilecall.skin does not load at all..i don't know if that has something to do or it was a coincidence.
good work mate..

I made little testing with phones what I find in our home, I hope this helps and I think we could make some kind list phones which working and whats not.

Samsung SGH-L760:
Connect fine
Dial/answer ok
Show manufacturer and model ok
Callerid ok
Battery and signal 5 all the time.

Samsung SGH-E760:
Connect and disconnect after few seconds!
This one is in BlueSoleil supported list

Samsung SGH-Z400:
Connect fine
Dial/answer ok
Not show manufacturer and model
Callerid ok
Battery and signal 5 all the time.

Ericsson T68i:
Connect but not connect headset
No dial/answer
Not show manufacturer and model
Nothing work but it's in BlueSoleil supported list.

I also doesn't get my Logitech USB microfone to work with BlueSoleil and I have send e-mail to BlueSoleil support about that but no answer yet. Now I have to use analog mic.
Does anyone else noticed that when you speak with your friend, he hears your speak about 2 sec delay and when your friend speak he hear his own speak echo???

Thanks for this nice plugin. I just tested the plugin with iPhone. Connects fine, incoming call indicator works fine and plugin sends pause. Other functions like dial a number, answer or hangup a call does not work with iPhone. I have Bluesoleil Dialer plugin installed and works fine with dial/answer/hangup functions. I suppose your plugin has different method (AT commands maybe?) about that functions. (iPhone does not support AT commands AFAIK).
As mentioned before, I have also noticed that if you set AutoAnswer=0 in the configuration the mobilecall.skin does not load and plugin does not pause RR.
One suggestion, could you make the in call events configurable, like parameters in the ini file i.e. ringing="PAUSE" or hangup="PLAY"
Thanks again..

The dial out, answer, hangup works fine on my iphone. I also have autoanswer to 0. I have made my own skin and commands to pause and resume playback which is working fine.

you only need the x,mobilephone in your menu skin for roadrunner. Riderunner doesn't need it. Which notes say main I cant find it. They all mention menu.

the mobilecall.skin should be called whenever the phone rings, not just with auto answer. I'll test here to see if I can find the problem.
