[QUOTE="Dadeo, post: 537811, member: 27204"] I agree, but: "Any installer will do? " What installler? I think you are assuming all skinners and plugin developers have your skills and dedication! If there is not a standard installer, then we are still stuck with the unzip to folders installation that neither of us like! The previous installer was not working well for skins or many plugins so the work Dukus is doing is critical imo. I hated providing aMPed as a zip file and asking users to copy files, but I did not have the skills to develop an installer until chefkoch kindly offered to do an NSIS installer for aMPed. But not all skins are lucky enough to have a user willing to do that for them. Huh? This already exists and has for some time. Perhaps that is why Dukus did not mention it. In MP Config - Plugins just click on the MPInstaller tab. However, you are correct that it does not show updates yet. Hopefully when Dukus is done, it will do so! There's another suggestion for you Dukus - fully integrate the extension installer into MP Config! For updates you have to use the Extension Installer (Shortcut in Team MediaPortal Start Programs) I use it constantly to update all MPEI plugins.
