    What is not workable and what are you missing? Different to MP1, which requires several plugins to have a base functionality, MP2 has everything included: movies, series, audio, applauncher, subtitledownloader, fanart, weather, news, 3 different tv engines!
    Emulators and webradio are valuable plugins ready for download. Generally the community can develop own plugins.

    Hello ge2301,
    It's good that the main thinks are all included. I don't like it if I have to search for everythink for a plugin. As example I have the Problem that I can't play mkv files. Another example is that I want to hear to a specific genre I can't see the albums which I have in that genre, I get a unsorted list of Tracks. I too mis a playing List. Such things make it for me in the moment hard to use MP.

    There is no plugin for this, you need to install a codec, so windows can play mkv files. By default LAV should besically do it. If you search in the forum you can find several threads with solutions.

    No plugin is needed for this, it's part of the base functionality. I recommend to first check the wiki.
    In library view just select "Filter" in the menu und select then "Genre" and you have a genre list. Alternatively you can just select the filter quick access in home screen (first screenshot).

    Also this is possible out of the box. Please check the wiki.

    Ah OK, thanks for the hints. I will read the wike. For mkv I was using VLC and there it's not needed to install anything special for it, that's why I thought it could be a missing plugin.

    For the Albums of the Genre I was using the button you showed but in the and I got an Tracklich of this Genre not an Album list but I will check the wiki.

    Thanks for the fast answer.

    you can find infor for this in our Wiki. I've no experience with Comcast, but basically the EPG setup is similar for any kind of channels. For cable and satelite the EPG is mostly delivered directly by the provider. Alternatively you can use xml based sources. I use for example the EPGBuddy, which is also mentioned in the WIKI.
