I load a bunch more content over the weekend... I will be loading the rest over this coming week and all the images should be done by the end of the week as well.

Also... I will be posting a new build tomorrow some time... it will fix many of the initial bugs that were found and clean things up a little! Check back tomorrow some time!

I've been using Boxee for internet content minus netflix because VMC has some pretty sweet netflix applications. I hate having to switch between windows media center and boxee. (Boxee just isn't as sexy). Thanks for all you hard, and obviously experienced, work. I installed second run on my Windows 7 machine and it looks awesome. I was wondering what the chances of there being a forum for this app are?

Can't wait for the next build! Thanks for all your hardwork, I look forward to my next download.

I can't wait for the next release! Can we get an auto updater or a newsletter alert of updates? Refreshing your page on an hourly basis is starting to get old. =)

I installed the app on an hp z545 vista machine, works well so far. I tried using the Linksys DMA2100 extender, but it locks up after 5 seconds or so. I doubt that you have even started looking at extender support, but thought I'd let you know about initial issues.

You can set up an RSS feed for new postings.

Great Job mate, Is there a chance to tune your plug in to capture the feeds directclty from the networks websites? If I watch the feeds directly lets say from Fox.com they are supperior compareed with hulu.com. As far as I know they both use the flash player from move networks. The picture from hulu is choppy most of the time, plus the direct feed from fox is usualy 720p. Anyway great job and big thank you. Cheers mate.

I know some of you have had luck getting this to install on Windows 7 but it hasn't worked for me. Any chance the new release will have better Windows 7 compatibility? I'd love to use this with my new media center. :-)

Yaggs, Last night my wife and I decided to watch last weeks episode of 24 so we're all caught up for tonight. We always use HULU, usually huddled around the laptop in the living room. Since I'm working on our new HTPC and had SecondRun going in the computer room I made her come in there and watch it. She's used to Tivo, and was really impressed with the whole WMC look and idea, but when I went to SecondRun and started scrolling around she said how cool it was, and when i tolder "some guy on the internet" made it she went CRAZY!! You've done a great job integrating it, and even non-WMC people are impressed! Keep it up!

Any chance of offering more control of the video via the remote control? My VMC is only connected via remote to my TV. I'd be nice if you could translate some common buttons to simple things like play/pause and turning on/off fullscreen. I had a couple times little notifications from VMC turn off full-screen and no way to turn it back on but go downstairs to the computer and press F. If the Up Arrow on my remote was mapped to "F", that would be great as well as Play/Pause to start/stop the video. Thanks again though for the great app. BSG was very happy on my TV this weekend.

Hi, GREAT work on this, but I have one (simple?) request. Would it be possible to have the currently selected network be centered in the middle instead of off to the right. It would go along with the rest of VMC better and it's IMO easier to look at. I know I'm being picky and it's definitely not important, but I think it would greatly enhance the style of your addin. Thanks again!

I just came across your web site and LOVE what you have done. I recently created a HTPC connected to my 55" Flat screen and have replace all my video equipment in my living room. Will this run on 64bit Vista?

Hey I was just playing around with the software and wondering if you had any plans to add a favorites section where people could put their favorite shows now that we have so many networks, and great job with the cover art it looks like you have gotten alot done since friday. Also I wanted to reccomend adding revision3.com to the networks. Thanks for the great work, I'm in college and my friends have been amazed by this on my htpc.

I am running it on Vista x64, and seems to be fine. The only problem is that the full screen is zooming too much for me, leaving only a quarter of the actual video window displaying on my TV. I believe this is unrelated to 64 bit OS though, and something incorrect with my browser settings or perhaps how this plugin uses the browser.

Tried your plug-in works fine in Media center. When I run it on my Linksys 2100 extender video runs slow motion and i get no sound. The same scenario happens with the vcmNetFilx plug-in. Other Media ex. video samples run fine with the extender.

Wow! I last saw your Green Button post a couple of weeks ago and just browsed it again today. Needless to say you have been busy! Very impressed with the video of SecondRunTV's features so far! I will load this on my VMC box this coming weekend and give it a shot. As Hulu, etc. changes content do you have to perform updates on your server as well, or have you figured out a way to dynamically pick appropriate images, etc. up on the fly?

I don't get any sound either.

This is an awesome application. You have simplified the use of IPTV. I love it. Keep up the good work. Do you plan to have a user forum?

Is there any way you could make it save the videos poster and other info, then check for updates when runing instead of Downloading them every time. I think it would run smother.

Watching the progress is pretty fun. I've been back and forth to the site all day loking for the update build, this is a great project and we definately appreciate the time and effort Yaggs. Thanks for answering the call on this long long request for Hulu in Media Center. Great Job

I saw my post was removed... I'm a student who was interested in becoming a programmer. I think the work you did with Hulu for Media Center is amazing. Could anybody help guide me in the right direction?

I have been reading all positive comments and am really getting the point of shareware. I love how people are finding things to improve and are helping to develop a better plug in. I also noticed how jason keeps up with what users want and need. I just wish Microsoft, apple, dell, etc can learn from this.
