[Plugin][Alpha] MP Photo Slideshow (1 Viewer)

[scouseman]

Hi,
I am running your plugin on MP1.12
When I run the build cache, I am getting an error which will not allow the build cache process to finish.
Any ideas what is wrong
Cheers

I am also having problems getting this to work on MP 1.12, no errors just a black screen!
Any help would be much appreciated.

Further to the above I have per other posts in this thread checked the permissions on the MPPhotoSliseshow folder in Program Data, cleared the logs but still have the same problem. The attached setup log would appear to indicate a serious issue.
Help would be appreciated.

Any improvements on this?

I never got it working and lacking any response here gave up on it and used the windows screensaver instead.

The plugin author was last seen in May 2015, therefore I would consider this plugin to be dead.

@HTPCSourcer
Is it possible to indicate that this and other plugins in a similar situation have died? Such that downloaders are aware in advance that support is no longer available.

Not really. All plugins are offered on a private basis by their individual authors. A good indicator is always to check on his presence in the forum, however, this is not excluding that the plugin or skin is being dropped shortly after.
