[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 833711, member: 18896"] The IMDb+ plugin would still do its job no matter what the skin does. Skin only controls the visual part, but the plugin would still do the technical stuff. It's a very basic single skin-file as well, so it should not be hard to implement the current version. I really need to get skin documentations done, but the Default/DefaultWide included skin file(s) should be easy to understand and duplicable for interested skin developers. What happens is that IMDb+ plugin checks periodically on the Google code server if a new version of the IMDb+ scraper-script is released and will install it into MovingPictures if a new one is found. By default this is done once every 24 hours, which normally is more then enough. Via IMDb+ plugin hidden menu you can adjust the 'Settings' of IMDb+ plugin if the MPEI Extensions GUI plugin is installed (named 'Extensions' with current version of v1.0.5.163), which allows couch control of MediaPortal plugins and was used to control IMDb+ settings instead of trying to reinvent the wheel. For those in need, there is the option to check for IMDb+ scraper-script updates on startup as well, and you can adjust the periodic interval to 6, 12, 24 hours and 2, 3, 4 or 7 days. Finally feeling much better after being sick last couple of weeks, so once I'm caught up on all the other stuff that stacked up, I'm going to rewrite the IMDb+ wiki to better explain each option and cover multiple usage and install scenarios.
