[QUOTE="Netboy, post: 20971, member: 14941"] First and foremost, these are not MP plugins, they are just compiled Windows scripts. To use them, you can add them to the My Programs plugin by waeberd. They are meant for people using a media center and MP strictly from a remote control. You could easily use other options via keyboard/mouse to acheive the same results. MPSleepTimer - I could never get any of the other sleep timers to work, so this is just a workaround. It starts a Windows shutdown and pauses 90 minutes before shutting down Windows. The 499k zip includes the source, docs with screenshots, and compiled program. (The script and source are tiny, it's the screenshots that make it 499k, sorry.) You can download the file [url=http://webpages.charter.net/dvlish/MP/MPSleepTimer.zip]here[/url]. MouseOffScreen - For those running a media center strictly through a remote, Windows leaves the mouse in the center of the screen at bootup. Even though inactivity in MP hides it, it can reappear sometimes. This just moves it to the lower-right offscreen so it is no longer visible. The 384k zip includes the source, docs with screenshots, and compiled program. (The script and source are tiny, it's the screenshots that make it 384k, sorry.) You can download the file [url=http://webpages.charter.net/dvlish/MP/MPMouseOffScreen.zip]here[/url]. For info on the compiler, check out AutoIt at [url=http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/]http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/[/url]. It's freeware, no bloatware, and a solid performer. As a sidenote, thank you to all the MediaPortal developers. Media Center just didn't make the cut for me, but this program was the sole reason for me moving from Xbox XBMC to a media center pc. Programs like this change the evolution of entertainment centers. Please let me know if you find the scripts useful, I'm not sure how many others are using remote setups, but it's nice to hear that it at least helps someone. Enjoy... netboy [/QUOTE]
