I am confused on the need for PlayOn. Is that for certain features or all of them. Netflix works fine on my MCE now but Hulu integration would be nice but not if i have to jump through a lot of hoops.

Playon gives you access to the content, tubeCore is the content organizer and presents it into media center.

Anybody notice the amazon (beta) tile? Will this allow me to stream prime? There is no mention of it on the tubecore site…

Tried to give this a shot, but can’t seem to download any software from the tubecore site and reading all the issues and bad blood between play-on and tubecore makes the setup appear to be on shaky ground.
