Hi, first of all i would just like to say kudos to all involved in developing Mediaportal, it's the reason i built my htpc, so big thanks!

Area: Media Portal Program
MP Version: 0.2.0.0 RC4
Skin: BlueTwo
Windows Version: Windows XP (no SP)
CPU Type: Amd 1.2Gz
Memory: 512mb
Motherboard Chipset: unknown (at work)
Video Card: Nvidia Geforce2 MX
Video Card Driver: Forceware 84.21
Video Card Resolution: 720x576x60
Video Render Type: dunno (at work)
Video Codec Type & Version: use mplayer as external player
Audio Codec Type & Version: default, cant check (at work)

Synopsis:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Im trying to customize my main menu. The first problem is that "MyPodcasts" doesnt show up in the menu, even though its both "enabled" and "show in main menu" in the plugins section. A couple of weeks ago it showed up, just to dissapear and never return.

I tried to switch to the "custom menu", but i either get a totally empty menu, or my podcasts and weather doesnt show up.

I've searched the forums, cant find an answer to this.

Also, as a second problem, i have problems with album covers. I have folder.jpg's in the folders, but sometimes they just dont show up. Can this have something to do with that im accessing the albums from a network disc? It's random ones every reboot.

And finally, as a third minor issue, i have pretty poor framerate. Scrolling down my albums usually result in pretty choppy scrolling, which i totally expect from a non dx9.0 card (im going to upgrade), but yesterday i booted and the scrolling was super smooth, album covers scrolling was wonderful. Next reboot same choppy as usual, any idea of something i can test to reproduce this?

Thanks for responses, i really dig MP
