    depends on how you want it to work. Do you want the screensaver to be off all the time, or just in fullscreen video?

    For what you want, you can go to powerscheduler in the plugins section and change the shutdown section to "None-or Windows built in" and then set the shutdown time to something very large. I think that will work, but you'll have to test.
    All screensavers are inactive when watching fullscreen video, but most people have it set to blank the screen when in menus for some time, to avoid damage to plasmas and the like.

    Use the attached files... execute them before and after MP ;)

    EDIT: You can also create a BAT file for executing these files and also MP itself

    Ok, thanks much. I will look into the instructions above. For the moment, I turned off the "Automatic channel logo update" in Settings (which somehow I had missed, I think because it wasn't an option previously), and the deleted everything in the Flat-default folder and populated it with my own logos. Works, so far.

    I'm running 2.5 with the WMC skin. I have .mp4 files, along with the related .srt files in the same folder. I can watch the movies just fine. In past versions of MP, like 2.4x, I could press the More Info button on my remote twice, and on the second press, an option for showing/choosing the subtitles was listed. I'd select the...

    Thanks very much, Jasmeet. Worked. But note that this setting has moved, apparently, to: Settings > TV (not Plugins)

    When I am trying to get some hardware or software to work and I am experiencing problems, my usual procedure is: simplify, simplify, simplify. That means avoid making choices that may not work; instead make the "standard" choice, which is often simply accepting the default. A static IP address is known to work with MP1. An address...
