I hear much of MediaPortal using xaml for skinning, not really sure what that means, but does this mean there's not really any point in starting a new skin using the existing skins as templates?

First, the next MP version (0.3) won't contain XAML. Probably the version after it will, tho. It's not that develpment for it died, but all work is done by a single developer and that just takes its time. Before rumours come up: It is being worked on actively all the time. No worries.

Second, existing skins are planned to be converted to the new version when it's about time.

So we currently suggest skinners not to wait for that new engine, it will take months until it will be available.

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...

I was not previously aware of the "Drive Free Space" plugin, and it is not easy to find. (There really ought to be an easier way of finding plugins.)

I've done a few MP1 installs in the past and haven't had a problem, so I didn't expect one today. I just purchased a mini PC with Win11 installed. I downloaded and tried installing Mediaportal 1. I chose single click standard installation with no TV. It started working on things and I wasn't paying terribly close attention, but...
