[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1101885, member: 109222"] Hi. I always thought it's highly dangerous to "outsource" essential functionality into community plugins. If the eleventh skin isn't compatible any longer, who cares??? But MP without Fanart Handler is unthinkable. Even worse is TVSeries.. Imagine this plugin someday wouldn't be developed any further... Without a solution for Series MP simply would be dead... If Moving Pictures is dying, no problem as we have a build in solution for movies, but for TVSeries there is none. Some really important parts any other HTPC software has included are not part of "core" MP1 (TVSeries, FanartHandler, MPExtended, MultiShortcut,...). And most of them are dead. This is extremely dangerous for sure. IMHO it's too late to change something here as this will add a huge amount of extra work to the team. Time better is used for MP2 development, where (nearly) none of those mistakes were made. [/QUOTE]
