SecondRun.tv - Internet TV Plug-In for Windows Media Center

I just dropped a new build out that should fix the display problems with the 4:3 aspect ratio users! If you are running 4:3 and had a problem with the previous build just download it again and try the new one... please post comments to this post with your results!

This release makes the Hulu videos 4:3 on my 16:9 TV. So now widescreen shows have black borders on all sides, top, bottom, as well as the sides. The earlier version played the videos in 16:9. Also, the back button only works when the video is not fullscreen. ABC videos don't work at all. IE gives an error. Text for show names and synopsis is for sure too small. If you can get the videos to play fullscreen and 480p automatically and get the back button to work, this program will be exactly what I've been waiting for. But even with all that, seriously great job. This is fantastic. I wasn't looking forward to trying to use Boxee (which I think is farther behind that this plugin for Hulu content in some way due to framerate problems) due to VMC's lack of online content. This is what we all wanted. Thanks.

One question - When watching a TV Episode( In Full Screen Mode) is there an easy way to get back to the previous screen other then going out of full screen mode and hitting the Blue Arrow in upper Left of screen ?

Works! Except it's not going to full screen when I select the content. But even so I love it! Good Job!

Works great on my PC (Vista Ultimate 32bit). Tried it out on my LinkSys DMA2100. The video is coming in fine but no Audio. Kudos on the App.!!!

Trying to Run this on Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit gives me an error "Can only be installed on Home Premium or Ultimate." (as a side note, in Win 7 Media Center will also be in Professional and Enterprise).

Content streams successfully (Vista Ultimate 32 Bit, 4:3 SD TV). Problems: 1) Websites open within media center, but not at fullscreen 2) Text (underneath posters) is WAY too small to be readable 3) (minor and probably a know thing) Poster images don't all load Keep up the good work! It's awesome. S

Not a biggy at the moment, but at some point it would be good if you could stop the Hulu video if something else starts. I managed to get into a situation where I had Babylon 5 (that brings back memories!) sound playing at the same time as live TV sound and video. LOVE the way you have already got out three builds today, each time fixing a bug!

Loaded the beta on my HP xp25000 and loaded fine. I have two problems. When I go to the menu level where the episodes are supposed to be displayed I get nothing. Interestingly enough when I run it on my DMA2200 the feeds work. When i start the video I get what is expected; video in the widow from the source and there is presently no way to get it to go to full window. I expect that a key on the remote can be programed to do this but there are two other problems. One the video is choppy and two there is no audio. I cant figure out why the rss feed seems to work fine on the extender but does not work on the host machine. I would appreciate any suggestions to solve thiis problem. Love the product and this is a great first start! JC

I tried it tonight, and the browser page will not go fullscreen automatically. The video does play but very small. Also on 64bit vista it will not display the web pages it just gives me a blank screen???

WOW! Tons of potential here! Some feedback: - Daily Show and Colbert = no backgrounds :( - Colbert not working at all (!) - I'd love to see both vertical and horizontal tiling - MUCH easier to navigate - Love to see it have the bility to jump forward to a letter you press on the remote - much faster to get to stuff in the middle of the list - Remote not working while watching videos - It' be nice to see a scale/slider when adjusting the volume - it works, but right now it doesn't show the level These requests notwithstanding, thanks a ton for this: it's IMMEDIATELY my Hulu plugin. YOU ROCK. -bonk

Re: the remote issue, it'd even be nice if I could just back out of playback - right now I have to Green Button it and start over.

Win 7 Ultimate x64 on touchsmart IQ500 1. would not install unless I ran the msi from the User temp directory 2. after installing, would not run in MCE. "program not responding" I was soooooooooooo looking forward to this pp. Needs to be x64 compatible, please?

I installed this version tonight and it automatically overwrote the link to my BluRay playback. Since it did this Media Center will not show the SR icon no matter where I move it to. I've tried placing it on every menu (using MC Menu Mender - which allows only 1 custom item per menubar), and no dice. Could we get an installer that doesn't automatically throw itself into the TV/Movie menu so those of us with custom menu's can properly integrate it? Thanks

Any chance we could get an option to change the text fonts? They're pretty much impossible to read if your Media Center is hooked up to a standard definition TV.

My 4:3 screen thanks you. I'll second the comments on the fonts being very very small.

It works well, but as with others, the text is ..um.... challenging.. Also, Mine doesn't launch into full screen... perhaps this is because I run dual screens (one monitor, one TV) -- I've had other programs that don't like this configuration.... and I assume that the missing Art is just because this is a Beta.... Only one more comment --- AWESOME -- THANKS.
