[QUOTE="Bleazle, post: 975655, member: 53582"] Is there ever a "current topic" on this thread? :D Ambilight looks good... I installed 1.3 on Saturday morning (on a Server/Client & Client). The upgrade went smoothly. I'm using Argus TV & Avallonis - most of the plugins I use were already "1.3 ready" but I had to hunt for a couple that didn't show up as being compatible on the Extensions Installer. Apart from the new default skin (which looks OK, if a little garish imho) I haven't noticed any real differences. You get the option of installing the LAV codecs during the install process but I was already running them anyway. I won't be using the colour coded TV guide but I guess it could prove to be popular. Once skins start offering themes the flexibility to customise the look to suit individual tastes should be pretty cool. I have had a couple of episodes where MP has locked up but in each case it was because Avallonis is missing a few screens or menu options, none of which effect me in my day to day use of MP. Don't forget to manually stop the TV server before you upgrade, as per the instructions - luckily I read them for once :D [/QUOTE]
