    When in MP, press the F11 key to take a screenshot. This places the .png file in the My Documents/My Pictures/MediaPortal Screenshots diretory.

    I know this thread is old, but maybe somebody could explain how to change the file format to jpeg and the destination folder?

    Not sure about changing the destination folder when generating a screenshot with this method, but if you open the .png with Windows Accessories/Paint you can "Save As" a jpeg and at the same time choose to a different folder or Desktop etc.

    This is a workaround, not a solution. Not very convenient, especially if you do a lot of screenshots. Maybe the developers could clarify if this behavior is hard-coded, especially .png as a default format?

    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

    TV Server plugins are listed on this page, and "EPG Cleaner" can be downloaded from this page. Note: I don't know what bitness the plugin has. It might be 32-bit, or it might be "any cpu". The plugin is not listed by the "MP Extensions" tool, so I don't know whether it has been tested with the most-recent MP releases. -- from...

I have also retired very early SD units, the Quatros seem to work much better than the older units. Go to SD's support website and download and install the windows...
