[QUOTE="Eezer, post: 700655, member: 109637"] thanks Deda, but i'm at a complete and utter loss with this. i downloaded the version hosted on Google and followed the instructions on the Read Me file i placed the 'plugins' folder and it's contents in C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\Media Portal\ and placed the 'skins' folder in C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\Media Portal (this is the only place i could find a skin folder to replace). then i opened the BasicHome Editor and added MUSIC VIDS under the BasicHome Design tab, saved it and generated a new menu. all OK so far (i think) as it shows on the menu and i am able to select it. i made sure i have ffmpeg in my downloads folder so i can point to it as instructed, but i have no clue where to go to point to it or how to get it to scan a folder... i opened MediaPortal Configuration and selected Plugins on the menu. alongside MovingPictures and MP-TV Series i can see a plugin called My Music Videos but if i try to select it so that i can configure it, i get a message telling me i get this even if i just move the mouse over that plugin. before installing the .dll file i made a point of backing up the existing .dll which i only realised was there when windows asked for permission to overwrite it. i have since put the original .dll file back into the plugins/windows folder to see if it worked but i get the same message. what am i doing wrong??
