Updates for skins and plug-ins? (1 Viewer)

Hello all... let me begin by saying I'm thrilled with what I've seen of MediaPortal so far, and I've been experimenting with it for only a few hours. I can't begin to list all the problems I've had with other software packages and media tanks and such, and it looks like MediaPortal + a modest computer will address nearly all of them.

Like I said, I'm new to MediaPortal, and it looks like I've started playing with it very shortly after the release of 1.0.2. As a result, most of the skins and plug-ins aren't yet compatible with the new version.

So, the question is, can someone tell me how long (generally) before the popular add-ons and skins are updated to be compatible with new releases? I'm sure it varies widely, but if someone could describe this process within the MediaPortal community, I'd be grateful.

Cheers, all...

:D

    Hi abbiesomeone, and welcome to MediaPortal .... ;)

    release of 1.0.2 - most of the skins and plug-ins aren't yet compatible with the new version.
    Most (if not all) of the current (v1.0.0 & v1.0.1) skins and plugins should be compatible with v1.0.2. Are there any particular ones that you have found to be incompatible?

    I would like to add specifically that the current schedules direct plugin is not compatable. I have a previous post stating this.

    I would like retrack my last statement. The SD plugin mention in my previous post does work.

    I don't remember specifically, sorry to say. I do know that very nearly every skin I tried generated an error message next time I loaded MediaPortal. I'm guessing they were designed for 0.x versions rather than 1.x.

    ADDENDUM:

    Two skins that advertise compatibility with 1.0.0 or 1.0.1 cause the "outdated skin" error for me. They are Purevision 2.2 and Projekt Mayhem III, both 4:3 skins. aMPed is the only skin I've tried that hasn't generated the error.
