I've been using this plugin for a week or so and I think it's great.

There are just two things that I haven't been able to work out.
When I first tried it, I got the message that Media Portal was not running, click here to start it up. I did and everything worked as it should, with MP starting up and me being able to control the menu ( a little slowly and with very basic functions).
That was the only time I got that bit to work. Now, whenever I try it, if I click "here", Media Portal starts up ok, but no matter what happens, I still get the topbar message that media portal is not running.
The service is set up as Administrator with access to interact with the desk top and this is fine, as it is able to start MP, it just doesn't seem to tell the web interface that MP is running.

My second question is really just a dumb noob question regarding Apache.
I have been able to modify the password file and specify additional users so I can get friends to try it out (and be impressed) without giving them the MPUSER password but is there any way to specify a guest type of account? One where they can view things, but not delete or add recordings or control MP?

I love this plugin, keep up the good work.

[QUOTE="Marcusb, post: 14431, member: 11550"] I've been using this plugin for a week or so and I think it's great. There are just two things that I haven't been able to work out. When I first tried it, I got the message that Media Portal was not running, click here to start it up. I did and everything worked as it should, with MP starting up and me being able to control the menu ( a little slowly and with very basic functions). That was the only time I got that bit to work. Now, whenever I try it, if I click "here", Media Portal starts up ok, but no matter what happens, I still get the topbar message that media portal is not running. The service is set up as Administrator with access to interact with the desk top and this is fine, as it is able to start MP, it just doesn't seem to tell the web interface that MP is running. My second question is really just a dumb noob question regarding Apache. I have been able to modify the password file and specify additional users so I can get friends to try it out (and be impressed) without giving them the MPUSER password but is there any way to specify a guest type of account? One where they can view things, but not delete or add recordings or control MP? I love this plugin, keep up the good work. Marcus. [/QUOTE]
