2009-01-22 Calgary Djs Media Center V1
So I have been using Microsoft's Media Center for many years. Playing AVI, MPG and DVD's hasn't been a problem. But due to HDTV's BluRay, there is a new video container named MKV.
Windows Media Center requires a bit of tweaking to recognize MKV files. In fact, I've only succeeded in getting it to work once. I use CoreAVC and FFDShow as my Codec's.
So since Microsoft's Media Center was sucking, I decided to write my own. And this is my result...
- A nearly complete Windows Media Center replacement
- Written in C# & DirectX
- Uses Microsoft's Remote Control
- Configuration Program gives plenty of customization including FileTypes and Folders.
- Folders for each media
- Local weather is updated on user defined schedule
- Uses any codec's installed that work with Media Player
- Optimized for 720p, 1080i and 1080p resolutions
- Built in web browsing with MCE Remote Control
