Default Must Have Plugins and Features?

Hey all,

Installed Media Portal at home last night and spent about 10 minutes messing with it. It looks fantastic. Blows my mind how you guys did a better job with this then Microsoft did with Media Center.

Anyway..

Can someone tell me some of the must have plugins.. or maybe some tricks/things I should do right away? Any cool tweaks or anything I should know about?

I plan on hooking my PC up to my Plasma and using it video HDMI>DVI. Not planning on using it for TV recording at all.

Thanks!

TV-series plugin is a must.. You will love it

Oh and take a look at the skin section, lots of cool stuff there as well! Amongst others; monochrome and xephyr - my favorites

If you are dutch: Uitzending Gemist is great.
My Emulators is great for Old School games.
And Last.FM is simply amazing for music!
