Many of you have already asked about making SecondRun.tv show 2 rows of icons on the network screen... Well... the next build will have 3! I already have that stuff changed... I am also planning on adding "categories" and having a category view so you can view shows by category... there will be another build this week... here is a screenshot of the multi-row network screen:

Awesome, the 3 rows look great! I noticed that my play/pause buttons don't work. I'm using a logitech harmony 1000 remote. Is anyone else having this issue.

Any progress with extender functionality?

Actually a really really cool interface would be to have this information actually available in TV GUIDE grid format (instead of provider list and show list) - and clicking on a show takes you to see that show on hulu or provider website. Basically everything remains the same except, the browsing interface is TV guide grid format.

Any chance in having "USA" shows added, (such as "Burn Notice" which is a featured show hosted on Hulu (http://www.hulu.com/burn-notice))?

Do you support the hulu queue? Have you used Hulu's subscription capability?

Will the installer have an option yet to not place itself into the Autoplay spot on the TV/Movie menu and only show up in the Program Library on the next build? Both of the last 2 builds have failed because of this. So either I give up BluRay playback inside Media Center or just can't use SR. Really hated having to reformat just to isolate this problem. If I have to choose I'm going to have to stay with BluRay playback. Can't dump HD movies for barely-SD content. =(

What a great progam. I have been waiting for something just like this. I tried Boxee but it doesn't work on extenders. I agree about changing the location from the TV/Movie menu because you can only add one program. Mine is already occupied by Media Browser. Thanks for all the hard work.

Great job and kudos for figuring out a resolution workaround. There are only a few quirks (IMO) left in the program: - Tiny text descriptions of the shows (not a big deal really, we know what they are already or can google) - Tiny text underneath episodes makes it hard to tell which one you're opening. I would suggest sacrificing the large episode picture and maybe cut the screen into 2 columns: pic on the left, episodes listed vertically on the right (episode screenshot with text to the right). - SR TV icon not showing up under TV like in your demo, have to go to Extras to locate it. Great work. I check this site everyday now!

Yaggs - since the Autoplay spot in the TV+Movies menu is often used by other programs (My Movies, Arcsoft, etc), and since SecondRun is really about streaming online media, is it possible for an option to have the SecondRun icon placed in the Online Media menu? It makes perfect sense for it to be there, given what the add-in does. Thanks again for your efforts.

Hi Yaggs. Great work! I have a dual boot system and your plugin works great in Vista, but I have been unable to get it to work in Win7. In Media Center a popup message says "Program Not Responding" and in the Event Viewer I receive the following error: Exception System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.MediaCenter.UI, Version=6.0.6000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040) I don't know where this is coming from. Hopefully you have an idea what it means. Thanks again!

Excellent! Next, we need some way to search for programs somehow other than by Network. My wife has been on a classic TV kick. She wants to watch St. Elsewhere, but I have no clue which network that old show is on. Browsing by the name of the show would be a nice addition.

Loving the app! I've contributed already, but may well do so again as it continures to get better and better... One thing I'd love to see at some point is a view where the programs are listed alphabetically, ignoring the network they come from. Oh, and slightly smaller posters would be great if they resulted in slightly larger and more text in the titles/descriptions. But I'm nit-picking really.

Was wondering if the Play/pause on the Remote could be mapped to the Space Bar on the keyboard as this appeared to be the shortcut key for the Terminator episode I was watching.
