Back in November last year, we reported on the great work that my friend and fellow MVP Ian Dixon was doing with the Made for Media Center App Store : https://moviesgamesandtech.com/2009/11/17/made-for-media-center-the-app-store-for-windows-media-center/
Yesterday Ian announced an add-in for Window Media Center that enables you to download add-ins directly from Media Center.
Here is what Ian had to say:
We have been really pleased with the response to the Made for Media Center app store, with thousands of registered users it shows there is a market for quality Windows Media Center applications and the benefit of having them in one location. At the time we launched we said we were working on a 10 foot UI so you could download Windows Media Center apps directly from the Media Center UI and I am very pleased to say we have a beta of the Media Center Addin ready for you to play with.
First you will need an account at MadeforMediaCenter.com and then go to the download page and selection either the 32bit or 64bit version.
The first time you launch the application you will be asked for your MadeforMediaCenter.com account details, in the current version the PIN number feature is not enabled in future versions you will be asked for your PIN (set via the download page on the websites) when you download an app.
From the app you can install any of the Media Center apps without leaving Windows Media Center,
We are still working on a few minor issues but all the main features are there. If you have an issues, comments or feedback you can leave them in the Made for Media Center forum and don’t forget to follow @4mediacenter on twitter.
Well done Ian, this is great! Keep up the excellent work.
If you have Windows Media Center, then you have to get this add-in now.
