    For testing you should delete (rename it) the local file [AppData]\MediaPortal\Installer\V2\KnownExtensions.xml

    Thanks. That did the trick. Everything was alright then, only it didn't show on my computer.

    I've found an bug.
    Open MP extension installer. Choose a plugin and install, press cancel in order to cancel download and it throws an exception.

    Well I got a porblem of a different sort. I just remade my system since it got messed up and now I tried to reinstall all the plugins I had before. The problem is now, that I only got the new MPEI isntalled and no longer the old MPInstaller since I only installed the new RC1...
    So every time I try to install one of those old MPI files he tell me, "This is an old format file. MPIinstaller will be used to install it!" and clicking ok does nothing. I can't install those plugins, is there a solution different then waiting for the developer to use the new MPEI?

    Thank you, MrCrabs

    I used to since before I did a reinstall of the whole system I had older versions of MP installed and they came with MPI, then I installed RC1 and I had both installers installed. But now I only installed RC1 and that one comes only with MPEI. So no more MPI on my system...

    I grabbed your latest and I still have this problem with the fidelity skin package. This is the code that appears to be failing:
    Code:
            testToolStripMenuItem.ToolTipText = item.GeneralInfo.VersionDescription.Length > 1024
                                                  ? item.GeneralInfo.VersionDescription.Substring(0, 1024) + "..."
                                                  : item.GeneralInfo.VersionDescription;

    item.GeneralInfo.VersionDescription is null.

    OK guys, I got it working although it is somewhat weird. Usually MPI was linked to all .mpe1 and .mpi files so I could either open it with MPI or MPEI (MPEI was standard). Now MPI doesn't show up and it even does not show up in start menu below mediaportal. But it still is there inside the mediaportal folder. So if there is only RC1 installed you need to open MPI by hand and install every plugin there.

    Hi dukus, I'm having a problem installing fonts. CopyFont and CopyFile didn't work, changing the destination to %fonts% didn't help either...
    The font files do not appear in Windows\Fonts and can't be used by the skin.
    I found this info in the UninstallInfo.xml, why are the fonts going there?

    Also, a little explanation on how to create a shortcut would be nice, trying to create a forum link in the following start menu folder: %StartMenu%\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal Skins\Monochrome\Online\.

    :D
