[QUOTE="mzemina, post: 75822, member: 11677"] This is the current Plugin folder structure: Automation EPG Games Input Others Playback TV Video Web I propose creating the following new folders: EPG/TV Video/Movies Audio/Radio Utilities PIM Move all items under <TV> folder to the new <EPG/TV> folder. Move all items under <EPG> folder to the new <EPG/TV> folder. Move all items under <Video> folder to the new <Video/Movies> folder. Move all items under <Playback> folder to the new <Audio/Radio> folder. Then I ask to remove the following folders: EPG Playback TV Video And I would ask that the files in <Others> folder be moved as shown here: Asus SPresso ---move to: <Input> C.All ---move to: <Input> EasyApps ---move to: <Automation> File Explorer ---move to: <Utilities> FritzBox Call Monitor --- ?Should this be here since there is an update? FritzBox.CM *Update* ---move to: <Input> LCDSmartie plugin ---move to: <Input> MediaLan ---move to: <Utilities> MPBlue PPC client ---move to: <Input> MusicShare Watcher ---move to: <Utilities> My Burner ---move to: <Utilities> My DVDs ---move to: <Utilities> My Explorer ---move to: <Utilities> My Films (ANT database Importer) ---move to: <Video/Movies> My FM Radio ---move to: <Audio/Radio> My Lyrics Plugin ---move to: <Audio/Radio> My Recipes ---leave in: <Others> My Status ---move to: <Utilities> MyPlanner ---move to: <PIM> MyRefresh ---move to: <Utilities> Netflix Manager ---move to: <Video/Movies> Xbox Media Center - MediaPortal Integration ---leave in: <Others> XMM Importer ---move to: <Video/Movies> Finally, in the <Others> folder the following files should then be moved as shown here: My PodCasts ---move to: <Audio/Radio> Stocks/Shares Plugin ---move to: <Other> That would leave us with the following plugin folder structure with associated files [x] in each folder: Automation [5] EPG/TV [13] Games [4] Input [16] Video/Movies [6] Web [6] Audio/Radio [4] Utilities [8] PIM (Personal Information Manager) [1] Others [3] (Note I have one less since FritzBox.CM is *Updated* doesn't that mean we shouldn't need the original?
