[QUOTE="citizenkeys, post: 423610, member: 91851"] I can confirm some things: * if installed properly, when you configure milkdrop from within mediaportal's config program, the milk2.ini file will be created in: "C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\MusicPlayer\plugins\winamp\" * but... MEDIA PORTAL and/or MilkDrop *WILL NOT* read milk2.ini from there! * mediaportal and/or milkdrop needs the milk2.ini in the following location: "C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\plugins\plugins\" * yes, the folder is "plugins\plugins\". * that directory won't exist (or at least didn't exist on my setup). you will need to create the folder "plugins" yourself in the "plugins" folder. * after you configure milkdrop from within media portal's config, you will need to copy (not move) the milk2.ini to the other location. * leave the milk2.ini in its original location so milkdrop can read those settings when you configure it. * when properly configured, there will be two items on your taskbar when playing a song: media portal and milkdrop. * to use keyboard commands to control milkdrop, make sure milkdrop is the active window on the taskbar - not media portal. * F5 will show you milkdrop's frame rate (handy for testing your config). * milkdrop gets much better framerate when media portal is the active window on the taskbar - NOT milkdrop itself. * milkdrop seems to integrate best with mediaportal when both "Fullscreen" and "desktop mode" are UN-checked from the "common settings" tab of the milkdrop config. * milk2.ini needs to be re-copied to "C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\plugins\plugins\" after every change to milkdrop - don't forget that! right now, i'm trying to figure out how to get the best framerate when neither media portal nor milkdrop is the active window on the taskbar. when media portal is active window, i get about 30 frames per second. when media portal isn't the active window, i get awful 10 fps.
