Have a problem since upgrading from RC2 to RC4 and migrating from cybrdisplay to minidisplay. Mediaportal does not exit cleanly (ie mediaportal.exe does not terminate) when the minidisplay plugin is enabled.

From the error log, it looks like minidisplay is trying to do something with IRSS?? Is that a requirement of minidisplay?

Edit: Tested with Blue3 Wide as well - same result.

Problem solved, or at least "worked around". I had IRSS installed, but the service disabled (was waiting for Aaron for some updates as I could never get it working with my iMON remote). Uninstalled IRSS and problem went away.

Still, MP should not crash just because IRSS is installed but disabled.
