    I have removed unwanted folders from the Movie Folders list, but they still appear. How can I remove them permanently?

    What do you mean by unwanted? If you want help on this, you do need to provide us with a little more information. Because I don't really understand what you are asking.

    I have the same question, perhaps I should elaborate more.
    The movie, picture and music folder lists automatically add the dvd and cd-rom drive, I did remove them already a few times, but they continue to show up.

    Thanks,
    Frank

    Sorry, I guess the title told more about my problem than the actual post ;) fripsy is right anyway. It seems like this 'bug' is relabelled as a feature :( One should really be able to choose whether or not to display these - for instance I don't want my Daemon Tools drive to show up, as this is only used after mounting ISOs on my hard drive and then starts automaticly to play.

    This bug/feature really annoys me too, if I have a blu-ray disc inside i get stuck for minutes when using "share" view. In fact I don't know if it ever unfreezes because I've always shut down before or removed the disc. Please fix this!

    That sounds more like a autorun enabled issue than cd\dvd drive showing up, latest svn's you are able to remove optical drives from being shown.

    Many many years ago, I opened a bug report after I got that same message but I never got a reply.

    I noticed there's an updated Visual C++ Runtime (14.50.35710), maybe try to reinstall the runtimes? That's what fixed the issue when I tried 1.38.1

    I don't organise my media in the way that you do, so I don't know whether MediaPortal provides the capability that you want. All that I can suggest is that you read this page in the MP Wiki and experiment to see if it will merge the separate folders to give you a unified view of the media. -- from CyberSimian in the UK

    I do not know why this xml was in my theme folders, it must have sneaked in some time ago (years?). I simply removed the file. The Latest Media Handler plugin seems to be working as expected. I've had no lock-ups.
