I also have the same needs, but no solution: I would like to launch molotov.tv from the TV menu of mediaportal. Is this possible? Thanks!

    Finally, is it possible to launch a program from MediaPortal?
    I'm a brandnew user of Spotify (I pay for it) and I think it would be interesting to launch it from inside MP.
    (multishortcut or addon...)
    The Multishortcut plugin (v 2.7) is working for me MP 1.24 and Win 10 Pro x64 (1909), I recently installed it and got it working.:)
    The only issue I found is that during the "install" you must run the DLLFix.exe program "as administrator" it is not sufficient to run it in an Admin account, failure to do so will result in any additional copies of the shortcut .xml you have made all appearing in the MP config progam with the same name etc.
    I also have the same needs, but no solution: I would like to launch molotov.tv from the TV menu of mediaportal. Is this possible? Thanks!

    I don't think the Multishortcut program will do that for you (i.e. add a shortcut to the TV menu) but it may be possible to add it via a skin editor if it supports the plugin.

    Hi, it looks like the Client's server connection settings got corrupted somehow and were reset, hopefully this is an easy fix. Open MP2-Client, navigate to Settings->General->Connectivity->Home server. In the menu on the left there may be an option Detach from home server, if there is click it and acknowledge the dialog that pops up...

    I do not know why this xml was in my theme folders, it must have sneaked in some time ago (years?). I simply removed the file. The Latest Media Handler plugin seems to be working as expected. I've had no lock-ups.

    Ok, so perhaps a solution, but not the "right" solution. On the client, within media portal configuration, under TV settings, advanced options, I switched to UNC paths instead of the default RSS, and it's working very well. Sure I had to figure out the paths, but no big deal. Maybe helpful for someone in the future. Thanks for the...
