Actually, "My videos" could be local folders, upnp servers, lan folders, ftp servers or internet sites. Various sources, but the same content ¿isn't it?

    I think the most obvious reason is that MyVideos is a "official" part of MP and maintained by the team, whilst OnlineVideos is a community plugin, now under the wings of Offbyone.
    (Big :D, btw).

    I would rather see them more separated, with Online videos using defined codecs for usage with only that plugin (as Cyberlink does not seem to work properly with online material).

    Ok, so perhaps a solution, but not the "right" solution. On the client, within media portal configuration, under TV settings, advanced options, I switched to UNC paths instead of the default RSS, and it's working very well. Sure I had to figure out the paths, but no big deal. Maybe helpful for someone in the future. Thanks for the...

    Ran into this problem following an otherwise sucessful upgrade from MP 1.34 x64 to MP 1.35 x64 the CEC Remote plugin which I use just to control volume and standby, will no longer put my devices (TV & AVR) to sleep when the HTPC is put in standby. Also when I wake up the HTPC MP closes or crashes (not sure which) as per the example in...
