[QUOTE="gpnash, post: 1201514, member: 151666"] The example I started with was the one from the vb sample in the wiki [URL]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/18_Contribute/6_Plugins/Plugin_Developer's_Guide/1_Develop_a_Plugin/Visual_Basic[/URL] The only reason I mentioned MP2 was, if I was going to have to go to school to learn how the plugin interface works, I'd have preferred to learn the new way rather than have to start over in a year or so. The research I've done over the last couple of days tells me that my MP2 days after further off than that. Don't know what c# code you're looking at but I've been looking thru the MP1 > windowsplugins > music code all day and it's so much more complex than any thing I'm trying I can't find the pieces that would apply.
