    Since MP is mainly designed for remote usage we're all a bit against fiddly "searching" and favor "finding" instead :p

    Basically you can use:
    - SMS input of the remote numbers for jumping
    - SHIFT + <search letters> on your keyboard
    - the skin's search button for a virtual keyboard

    In addition there's the audioscrobbler plugin that automatically fills the playlist and the Globalsearch plugin which offers advanced searching as well.

    Great thx. The shift thing is pretty cool covers most basic needs. That way i can search for a artist but not a song, and play that one next

    I tried globalsearch but you cant do that in your music dir :)

    Is there a way to make a shortcut to globalsearch when you are in the music folder. That would make it alot easier

    Sorry, it's my fault -- I did not notice that you are using MP2. :( MP1 has a separate configuration utility, similar to "TV Server Config". I have tried MP2 only a couple of times, and have never used it seriously. I don't know what MP2 supports with regard to adjusting audio delay, but I do know that all of the adjustments of...

    4.5 is really old. I'm not sure 4.5.5 even is a version that actually existed. You should be able to install .NET Framework 4.8.0 on Windows 7 SP1
