Could you add option to browse game by (user-defined) categories instead of by consoles? So for example I could group all mario games together.

    This is already done in the alpha release although you have to manually edit the groups file atm. There is a groups editor in the upcoming beta release though :)

    The groups file is "C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Emulators2Groups.xml"
    You can get an idea of the format by looking at the existing group but a basic group containing games would look like

    <Group title="MyGroup">
    <item type="Game">gameId1</item>
    <item type="Game">gameId2</item>
    <item type="Game">gameId3</item>
    </Group>

    You then need to start the plugin with groups so select "groups" from the "Start with" dropdown on the options tab (it's possible to do this from within MP in the next release).

Is it possible to instantly access the video categories when landing on the page? I would like to display a single media page with the following...

    I was just tinkering with a few settings in the MediaPortal configuration and am happy to have found the cause of the problem. Disabling the option "Single seat setup: force RTSP usage" under "TV/Radio", "Advanced Options" resolved the issue. After I disabled this option, I was able to delete the recordings the first time...
