[QUOTE="pirivan, post: 412159, member: 65342"] I know I am WAY late to commenting on this thread but I just had to throw in my hat and say that getting developers of plugins onboard with a unified installer/patch/update system for skin files and plugins is an absolute necessity. I love MediaPortal but without TV Series and Moving Pictures and Black and White 1080p, it literally isn't even the same program to me. I love the plugins/variety of skins BUT it's an absolute pain managing updates/patches to both the mediaportal application itself and the skins/plugins. If there were easy to use installers with built in options for modifications to these skins/plugins (ie do you want the skin to look like THIS or like THIS do you want it to support TV Series, etc etc) I would be absolutely ecstatic. It would be wonderful to have a built in notification/patch/update system built into MP and for the variety of plugins/skins so that updates would be automatically downloaded (and could be easily rolled back). Without the wonderful work of the plugin/skin developers MP just wouldn't be the useful application it is today. If all the developers were on the same wavelength/system, rather than developing what almost feels like completely separate applications MediaPortal would be MUCH easier for new users to setup and easier for us long-time users to maintain.
