[QUOTE="Timberwolf99, post: 1251462, member: 156204"] I found the same anyone starting out can very easily get lost in the plugin then patch then ask for help which can be a while coming round about as the are sometimes a few patches that apply to a specific problem and sometimes need to be applied in a specific order for the fix to be successful. Do this for all the plugins you would like to use and I could take weeks to months to get a working MP installation going and useable. Bear I mind this was for me only about 1/3 of the reason I turned away from MP. Another 1/3 was hardware issues with my graphics and tv, which couldn’t be fixed with the help on here, the last 1/3 was that I could not get my prototype system quiet enough to please the missus. Also every time she went to watch something on it the video had frozen requiring a reboot didn’t help also. Im still here and may revisit this one day but for now I have other ways to do what I need though it’s not as elegant as a MP instal could have been. I also made the suggestion a while ago, anyone developing a plugin or extension that cannot for whatever reason support it in a timely fashion or continue its development should be able to put the project into a location where someone else can go, pick it up and run with it until such a time they cannot and the place it back so someone else can do the same. 1 this will allow for the new guys to tidy the project up, e.g. apply patches to the project to fix bugs. 2 allow continued development of the most used plugins from only one developer.
