[QUOTE="jameson_uk, post: 999158, member: 11220"] Is your plugin actually dependant on the config application? What would break your plugin if the sub-system changes [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/18_Contribute/6_Plugins/Plugin_Related_Changes/1.1.0_to_1.2.0/Version_Compatibility[/url] eg. if it is a window plugin then the a change to the skin engine will break it. What version(s) do you want to build your plugin for? Do you want to build something that is compatible with multiple versions (is it actually compatible with those versions ?) If you do not use any other MP code and it is simply the skin engine and your plugin will work in older versions of MP then you should use [code=c#][assembly: CompatibleVersion("1.3.100.0","1.1.6.27644")] [assembly: UsesSubsystem("MP.SkinEngine")][/code] This will work for versions up to 1.4 pre-release. The version numbers relate to the API versions not MP versions so if there is nothing that will break skin engine in 1.5 then the version will still be 1.3.100.0. If one of the sub systems you need to define a dependency on does change then you will need to update your plugin but not until then. [/QUOTE]
