3 Plug-Ins That Media Center Needs

Written by Alan Friday, 16 April 2010 08:00

As much as I like the latest version Media Center in Windows 7, there are still some plug-ins it lacks.  Netflix is now built-in, which was a huge step.  And I can use 3rd party plug-ins to add Hulu and Boxee and weather.  Here are a few additions Microsoft should consider adding.

1. Pandora – Come on Microsoft, this one should be obvious.  Why do I have minimize Media Center and open  a browser to get my Pandora?

2. Video Podcasts – Currently I have to add the Media Browser plug-in to simply get my video podcasts downloaded and presented as a playlist that’s waiting when I turn on the TV.

3. Amazon Video – Adding Netflix was great.  Now how about adding Amazon Video-On-Demand?
