[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1053796, member: 82144"] Before I say anything more: people aren't going to be able to walk you through this step by step. You're going to need to be willing to invest time and energy messing around with stuff that at first may make absolutely no sense to you. For a start, how about following the guide in the wiki to enable you to build MediaPortal: [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/18_Contribute/4_Development/Building_MediaPortal_from_source[/url] The software you need is listed as prerequisites: [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/18_Contribute/4_Development/Building_MediaPortal_from_source/1_Git_Setup[/url] You probably only really need TortoiseGit (to enable you to get MediaPortal's code) and Visual Studio 2010 Express (to enable you to compile that code). Once you've figured out how to compile MediaPortal, the next task is to figure out how to build the plugin without changes. I'd recommend installing TortoiseSVN to enable you to get the plugin code. Once you can build it (again with VS 2010 Express), then you need to change the project target to .NET 4.0 (this is probably the easiest part of the whole process) and see if it will still compile. If it does, you may be sorted; if not, VS will give you a list of errors you have to fix. [/QUOTE]
