Tag: Media Center Plugins And Skins

Welcome to the social… It seems to me that MS is not taking advantage of the Media Center platform and the potential social aspects. I would love to see what the Top 10 recorded TV shows are and what other people’s opinions are etc. :). There is opportunity here and MS should capitalize on it. Perhaps they could be a […]

VMC isn’t the only media center application to have Netflix support. Check out the work UFGraymatter is doing over at MeediOS. Here is the latest video showing the progress so far. Meedios shows Title, Rating, Genre, When it is availbable (Now, Short Wait, etc) and the Format (DVD, Blu-Ray, HD DVD) – this was done to make it look like […]

Vista users with Netflix accounts can now rejoice. An MCML (beta) plugin was just released by Anthony Park (the MCEBrowser guy) that does all the stuff the old MyNetflix plugin did, plus it also handles "Watch Now"!  And since it’s MCML it looks great too. This is one of the plugins I’ve been most excited about lately seeing as how […]

It also adds a TAB to launch from VMC if the disc is already in the drive. I thought long and hard about this and […]

I actually didn’t notice this since we don’t have such content in germany.

Third party product could bring the expected functionality between WHS and MCE that most users feel should already be there. Ehomeupgrade If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s to never assume anything. For instance, don’t assume that because the same company built two products that they’ll work well together. This is doubly true when speaking about Microsoft. Specifically, Windows Home […]

We heard a little while ago that DVD streaming maybe coming to VMC. Rather then wait around, an ambitous user is in the process of creating a plugin that should allow for extenders to pick up on the VOB files through the use of symbolic links. Confused? Yah, I’ll have to leave this one to the programmers, however, if it […]
