[QUOTE="geoffstewart, post: 1052907, member: 83396"] I was having problems with this plugin as a screensaver, but managed to figure it out. I wanted to share it here in case anyone else ran into it. The slideshow would start and go for a while. At some point, I'd get an exception and MP would have to exit to continue. See attached image. The logs in both mediaportal and the MPslideshow directories show nothing of interest. I just looked at the file names and noticed a few files I had chosen were recovered from a drive with failures and the names were funny... started with "_" or contained [ or ]. It dawned on me that perhaps the XML config file could not handle these names.... I renamed the offending files and the plugin is working flawlessly now. Thanks again for your work on this... It works great! The only outstanding issue for me is that the screensaver kicks in when I watch Netflix using the NetflixAlpha plugin because it launches a separate player to render the silverlight controls. I'll ask that forum about it. Cheers. GEoff [/QUOTE]
