[QUOTE="ge2301, post: 1291763, member: 145639"] What was the initial skin you used? "Default" or "Nereus"? "Nereus" should offer the best UX experience and I'm curious what was not ok. If it's just you got used to the WMC UX (Iwas also WMC user in the past) I fully understand that any other UX is not easy in the beginning. Please check the WIKI for [URL='https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal2/Media+Playback']details of the player[/URL]. The Wiki is created for Nereus skin, but almost all points are also valid for WMC. There is also a WIKI for all skin relevant WMC features. To quote the relevant part: Drag and move is not supported by the player engine and also not possible for most file types by nature. For MKV containers also WMC could not handle it.
