    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.

    Are different people taking turns watching the same thing on the same HTPC? For me, separating users in MP2 is a drawback, as is the interface. Simply put, this can't be done in MP1, or rather, it can't be done quickly, because everything would have to be rewritten. But if each user logs in with their own Windows account, MP1 can...

    If you use a VPN connection to your home network, you should be able to use the MP client to connect to your server natively instead of using MPExtended.

    O Frabjous Joy! That seems to have done the trick. Thank you so much for your help and advice, CyberSimian. I hadn't thought of deleting the various folders, but I'll bear that in mind for any future disasters. Now I can record King & Conqueror on Sunday! Cheers Ralph
