What's the advantage of that new behaviour?  ? Isn't MC loosing a lot of modality this way? Isn't that one of the strengths of MC, that you can decide what you want?

Anyway, any news on UPNP Server with regard to search failures on Netgear MP101?

Thx

P.S. I really don't want to offend someone by asking about this change in latest build. It's just that I don't see the advantage. But I'm open for explanation ;)

Only plugins that are delivered with Media Center cannot be removed. These are "system" plugins, and Media Center may assume they are installed, leading to cryptic error messages if they are removed after installation. Other plugins may be installed or removed at will.

The version will be fixed, the change was caused by the new TiVo work.
