Launch Dashboard Items from Media Center

#1

Post by MikeCL1041 » Fri Jul 22, 2011 11:18 pm

Is there any possible way to launch dashboard items such as Netflix or Hulu direct from the Media Center interface? It's kind of a disconnected experience to have to jump between Media Center and the dashboard all the time. It would be cool if you can link dashboard items so you launch them without leaving Media Center. Probably not possible, but wasn't sure if anyone else thought about this.

Thanks!

Thanks, I've used Media Center Studio before, but what I'm looking for is a way to launch the actual Xbox dashboard programs from Media Center (like Netflix and Hulu). I hate having to exit Media Center to the dashboard in order to start these.

Not possible I don't think.

I agree, would be nice to have Hulu inside media center, I looked at playon and tried it once, but it was too buggy for me.
