FolioVision, Biranit - the plugin works out of the box for me and most people. I wouldn't ship something that I knew was broken but there are so many types of hosting that it's impossible to test every combination of plugins, operating system, Apache versions and whatever else.
Have you tried going back to a version that works for you? If you're getting error messages, can you check the plugin for those error messages and attempt to figure out why it's not working? Send me a patch or even describe where in the code you think it's wrong. That would be really helpful.
I have hardly any time to devote to this any more. One of the dangers of becoming a father I'm afraid.
