HI

It is possible to do some rearranging of menus etc but as Spragleknas has said it requires editing the xml files for the skin you are using.

I have recently made changes to some xml files to relocate some buttons etc to make the interface less confusing.

I am not familiar with xml but found the changes quite easy to do but this is dependant on the skin you use. I used to use XFACE skin but as I dont know xml I found it difficult to interpret the xml files.

I recently made the switch to the MONACHROME skin which is much easier to understand and also has some extra menus that are added as plugins providing more flexibility.

Have a look if you're interested. If you are not familiar with xml then I will try and help as much as I can but as I said I am new to xml and so can only do basic things at the moment.

100% my bad - as expected :) So, I had disabled the Windows Update service. Not a wise move, until MP all installed and working nicely. The reason it failed is because DotNetFrameworkChecker.cs looks in Registry HKLM SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\NET Framework Setup\\NDP for v4/v4.0 AND v3.5. W10 has V4.0 but not 3.5. MP installer...

MP1 MP2 GenreMap.xml file DE
Ok, thanks. I'll stop looking, then. I can't locate, at the moment, the reference to such a file I had found, and can't remember whether it was in the documentation or in a forum post. My "native" genres changed after I stopped using MC2XML with the XMLTV plugin. I'm referring to the top categories that one maps (attaches)...
