Remind Me for MCE

Posted on by mymce

Remind Me for MCE does just what the name says. We all now how fast time goes by when watching a movie or listening to music which can cause us to forget to do things. Now you can create reminders in Media Center that will alert you at the time you choose. Of course Remind Me is done in MCML and for the first time I decided to stick with the Vista theme. Reminders can be entered by desktop keyboard or with the remote control using triple tap. You can also view and delete reminders already created. Again this is a MCML program and you must have one of the following operating systems, Microsoft Windows Vista Premium or Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate.

iPlayer MCE

Posted on by mymce

Developer Martin Millmore has developed this plugin for Vista Media Center.According to him:-‘The BBC have been quite luke warm about supporting Windows Media Centre for some time now – they had some news video available in Windows Media Centre 2005 online showcase, but it was a bit hit and miss as to whether or not it worked. iPlayer on the other hand is a fantastic media delivery system, but has only really been written for desk top machines, not machines connected to your TV – which in my opinion has to be the obvious market. Imagine how annoyed I was when I read that Wii and PS3 users could get access to iPlayer too. That was just too much for me, so I decided to write a Vista MCE interface for iPlayer.’
