Why didn't you try to get support on the forum or IRC channel before writing a review ? I never heard of this problem before, but I do have every version offline, I could make it online for you so you can revert. I think you have changed something else that's causing the plugin to stop working though.
I know it's not my setup since this only happens when I have an event call a MediaPortal action. The log shows two of every event, and each of those events calls an action.
Did you remove the Message Plugin from your MediaPortal installation ?
