Do we have any plugins or maybe one in development for a touchscreen use? I have a pc I use for music and I use a program called albumplayer but I loaded MP and love it, but it does not do well on my touchscreen.

    It isn't a matter of a plugin per-se but with the skin. I would think you would need a skin which have buttons (large enough for fingers and not to close to another button) which would allow allow the functions that a keyboard would give for any non-visible functions. I don't think there are any active skins which were made for touch-screen use.

    You could check out this thread: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/photo_slideshow_touchscreen-t14431.html?t=14431 if you search on "touchscreen" it appears there are a few people working on a touchscreen skin. One even for their car computer. Ask around and see if maybe someone has completed such a skin but hasn't posted it back to the website. It would be nice if they have a skin completed to post it here.

    edit: Found another interesting thread: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/using_mp_ultra_mobile_pc-t13821.html?t=13821 I like the knob to control volume

    I use a seven inch touchscreen and use the standard blue2 wide.

    The secret to accurate use is to ensure the touchscreen software is set to 'click on release' which ensures your action is what you intended .

    BUT there are one or two problems as you have mentioned but this can be worked around.

    How do you work around the lack of a "back" or scroll ability?

    Support for touchscreens should be a MP core feature, IMO.

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

    Update: Problem solved! The electronic program guides (tvguide.xml) have been successfully transferred to MediaPortal. The issue stemmed from the corruption of one or both of the mc2xml.dat and/or mc2xml.exe files, for an unknown reason. Consequently, even though the tvguide.xml file appeared to be updated, its content kept being an...
