@ltfearme - do you know what causes the issue with the visibility conditions not working correctly in Extensions Info screens (myextensions2info.xml) - all views except MP Website Extensions ? See attached screenshot - the Status, Downloads, Compatibility, etc all have visibility conditions

<visible>string.equals(#MPE.View.Name,#MPEI.Translation.MPOnlineExtensions.Label)</visible>

So they should only display in MP Website Extensions view right?

The visibility condition works correctly in MP Website Extensions view. I tried playing around a bit, and the string conditions work in the plugin views (Installed, Online, Updates, etc) if I enclose the skin properties in single quotes, but then they don't work in MP Web Extensions view. It seems to be an issue in all skins I checked so far. Also, I don't think it is new in v 1.1.0, IIRC I say this in previous versions as well.

I reported this in the internal forums I think, I believe it was broken in MP 1.3. You will have to work around it I'm afraid, you can take a look at streamedmp I made a change recently to fix it.

Basically removed any string property in the conditions are relied on old trusty methods.

I thought I remembered something - I was searching all the Extensions forum threads - forgot it was in internal forum DUH!
Workaround works like a charm. Thanks!

Is it possible to add a feature/option to install updates as another user? The reason I ask is because I normally launch MediaPortal from a non-admin account. If I run the Extension Installer program I specifically launch it as an admin user.
