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.

I should point out that the developers have not formally left the project, and development has not formally stopped. The developers have instead simply "faded away", gradually spending less and less time on MP2 until the present, when they spend no time on MP2. But one or more of the developers might return next week! It is impossible...

I have recently installed MediaPortal 1.37 (x64) and MP-TVSeries v4.5.1.697 and unfortunately the TV episode runtime duration is missing in my Titan skin. This only applies to my .TS files, my .MKV files are OK. I believe the difference is likely to be because .MKV files embed the runtime in the file unlike .TS files. I have done...

This is one of the top search results for WMC having stopped working; thanks everyone for the useful information! My shell scripting skills are very rusty these days, so for those like me who are still rocking Windows 7's (or some later version of) WMC, I thought I'd post the (rather hacky) Python script I'm using as a drop-in...
