I'm sorry Mr. Turner for the very late feedback. Unfortunately I've been quite busy lately and haven't got around to try out the update until a couple days ago.
Somehow the new version refuses te work with my setup (running 0.2.0 RC1), whereas the previous version did work although I had to manually copy the skinfiles etc.
I've seen that in this version you already created the (default) skin folders. So that should not be it.
Hmmm... found it. I took a look at the MediaPortal.log myself and noticed the plugin was refused access to System Volume Information folder.
One of my shares was pointed directly to the root of one of my partitions. I think that was the culprit, that the plugin would just stop after the error, without displaying anything. After I removed that particular share the plugin worked like just before.
This is a great plugin keep up the good work and I hope we get it working soon, I’m having the same problem with an error on load, I tried coping the main MP xml and renaming it to 'MediaPortal.Profile.Xml' but did not help. I'm running XP Pro SP2 with Office 2003 Pro both are fully up-to-date with the latest Patches/Fixes/framework and Service Packs (I last checked for updates on the Microsoft Sites on the 28-June-07) and MP 0.2.3.0 with MP-svn--06-28-2007--01-02-Rev15025 with the BlueTwo wide skin.
Unfortunately I'm not a programmer but I am happy to test or help in anyway I can.
