    Hi, unfortunately this is not possible, yet.

    Suspending + resuming MP is planned for the next release. Suspending "could" help. If not, we should consider closing MP temporarily instead of "just" suspending.

    But no date yet and very little time...

    Thank you for the quick replay.
    Nice to hear, that there is something in the pipeline.
    For now i´d enhanced my mediaportal startup wrapper. It is a little python skript and it is checking for a process called mediaportal.exe. If the process is running there is nothing to do. If not, it is starting mediaportal. In earlier Version i had problems with the MP watchdog and this was my quick solution.
    This Wrapper skript now checks for a running steam process. If it is started and MP too, the wrapper kills mediaportal and after closing of steam it is starting MP up again. This is working nicely for me. But it is important that steam autostart is disabled ;)

    Good to hear that you have a workaround for now. Please don't expect anything soon. Very little time right now...

    Hi exe,
    understood. That's no problem and fully understandable.

    You do this in your freetime - so take all time you need. No one is in hurry here ;)

    I'm getting a missing or invalid mpsteam.xml message using MP 1.60. I'm guessing the skin files need updating for MP 1.60+. Plugin works fine and still launches steam, pressing the back button when I return to MP gets me out of the error message.

    Which skin are you using?

    Sorry I forgot to mention that, yeah it's the default MP wide skin.
    Sorry for late reply,
    yes, we removed the SkinFile for MPwideSkin. It was ugly and we have a lack on skinning skills :)
    You can try to copy
    %programdata%\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\Titan\MPSteam.xml
    to
    %programdata%\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\DefaultWide\MPSteam.xml
    that should work.
    If not try to extract mpsteam.xml from one of the first releases in first post in this thread (use 7zip) and copy it to
    %programdata%\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\DefaultWide\MPSteam.xml

    Thanks for your help Motey.
    Copying the Titan file over has rid me of the horrible black error screen. :)

    How do I add that to my Basic Home in StreamedMP?
