Win 7 MC, Media Browser, and 360 = Awesome!

#1

Post by robertn78 » Fri Jan 13, 2012 6:52 am

I have been using my Media Center in my living room for some time now. My favorite MC App is Media Browser. I have just installed a 360 in my Family room and was very impressed to see that the Media Browser works on the 360. This gives me full automatic parental control on both my Living room and Family room TV's. I can finally say good going MS you have done something right! Also, thank you MB for working native in MC! Now if I could get Hulu desktop to work...

Do you want Hulu Desktop to launch from within MC and then revert back to MC when you exit Hulu Desktop?
If so you can use this: http://huluwmc.teknowebworks.com/
Install this and Hulu Desktop Software, you can then launch and exit Hulu Desktop from within Media Center
If you want to be able to use Hulu from the Xbox Check this out http://www.hack7mc.com/2009/04/using-pl ... ug-in.html
That should get you Hulu on the Xbox..

You can use Relaunch and create an icon in Media Center for any external application

http://ww.madeformediacenter.com/m4mc/p ... e=Relaunch

Media Center will minimize and the application will launch, when you close the application Media Center will be maximised again.

You can also do the same thing with Media Center Launcher Configurator

I had issues though with the back button on the remote closing the application and maximizing Media Center again when I didn't want it to.

has nothing to do in the extenders' section: It does not work with extenders.

If you use the second link i provided with the playit & playon plugin it does. http://hd.engadget.com/2009/03/28/vmcpl ... e_engadget

Download here: http://www.handywindows7.com/windows-7- ... th-playon/

I will say I have never tried this, however I have heard others say it works.
