    Hi and welcome aardel ;)

    Open MediaPortal Configuration, go to the plugin section, right-click on the MovingPictures plugin and select 'Listed in Home'.
    Then you should have a Moving Pictures entry in the home menu.

    And when you get there Aardel, same with TVSeries (and lots of other plugin - including BBC Weather:).

    Personally, I have no plugins (but I use limited end user set) in 'plugins', makes for very simple interface and I like simple (so the 'plugins' menu option does not appear on home screen - that's not a fault, it's neat feature).

    Cheers - JCMP

    It is present, but not with that name. It is called Scheduler, viz: Interesting. I had never noticed that when the "command" is "ACTION", the "cmdproperty" is the actual window id, but it makes sense that it is. Try this for yourself. First backup your working profile for the remote, then in the "Mapping" panel make a change to...

    Ok, thanks much. I will look into the instructions above. For the moment, I turned off the "Automatic channel logo update" in Settings (which somehow I had missed, I think because it wasn't an option previously), and the deleted everything in the Flat-default folder and populated it with my own logos. Works, so far.

    You can always try, select any window, turn off the Media Portal, change the ID of the selected one to the desired one (plugin) and check.

    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
