Nice work, recliq.
Though, it may be beneficial (especially for noobs) to share a few instructions. Maybe you already have, but I found it out the hard way, so posting it here for others.
Issue: After upgrading to 4.5.1 and removing the external MediaMark plugin (as the release notes say it shouldn't be present), I found that though the mark functionality worked, all my previous "marks" had dissapeared! This was a big issue for me as I have lots of series.
After comparing the code for the external and internal plugins, I figured it out. The "mediaMark.log" file, which contains all the entries, needs to be preserved and passed over to the internal plugin. In my config, there was no entry for MEDIAMARK_DIR and the file had been created in the MediaMark plugin (external) folder. Fortunately, I had merely moved my MediaMark folder instead of deleting it. All that I needed to do was to set the config value to point to a persistent location and copy the log file there. Then reboot and voila, all the hard work of the previous few months was back in the form of little green men, er.. marks!
Hope this helps anyone who is in the same predicament.
