[QUOTE="robbo100, post: 820563, member: 91446"] The provider of the weather service recently changed their terms and conditions and no longer provide a free service. There are a number of new weather plugins which are working well such as [URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mediaportal-plugins-47/worldweather-plugin-v0-2-5-mediaportal-v1-2-0-higher-102775/"]WorldWeather[/URL]. The replacement plugin you choose should be based upon the skin that you are using. For example, StreamedMP has been modified to support WorldWeather, but some other skin writers have opted to support different weather plugins. In the short term you need to use the [URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mediaportal-plugins-47/bluray-handler-0-9-7-beta-81068/"]BluerayHandler[/URL] plugin to play blueray content, but in a few weeks (not sure of the exact timescales) the next version of MediaPortal will support blueray playing natively so this plugin will no longer be required (note: you will still need an on-the-fly decryptor like AnyDVD-HD to decrypt and watch shop bought bluerays). It sounds like you may not have the appropriate codecs installed on your system to allow playback of some online video content (If some sites play and others don't then this is almost certainly the case). In the Online Videos plugin configuration (under the MediaPortal Settings GUI) there is a tab where you can check that your codecs are configured correctly. If you don't know much about codecs then you can try installing [URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/codecs-331/saf-v6-based-lavf-95635/"]SAF[/URL] which automatically configures all the codecs for you. Or try posting on the Online Videos thread for help (you will need to post your log files to help them understand what is wrong. Unfortunately this is not yet possible. There have been various attempts over the years, but Skype are reluctant to release an API that will allow the video to be streamed into MP. There is an [URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mediaportal-plugins-47/skype4mp-video-83866/index16.html"]active thread open[/URL] so you can monitor progress yourself. There are a number of plugins to do this. I personally use [URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mediaportal-plugins-47/plugin-browse-web-webbrowser-89101/"]BrowseTheWeb[/URL], which will allow you to select hyperlinks using the numbers on your remote (it really works well). You can also configure the infoservice plugin to automatically run this plugin when you select any RSS or newsfeed link to take you to the main page. This plugin does support flash (I think you have to install the firefox flash plugin on your PC if my memory serves). The only restriction is with sites like BBC News, where they don't automatically play the flash video on the webpage. You have to get a mouse to click on the play button (since it isn't shown as a hyperlink in it's own right), however this is a limitation of all of the web browsers from what I can tell. The links that I have provided are to the discussion threads for each plugin, but if you want to download the plugins, it is worth checking for the latest version using the MediaPortal Extension Installer. That way, you will definitely get the most stable and compatible version. I hope this helps. Robbo100 Sorry Ray, I was busy typing at the same time (I think we have given similar answers though) :-) [/QUOTE]
