For any devs who want to add onto MCE 2005: http://blogs.msdn.com/mcreasy/archiv...12/241449.aspx
I can't figure out how to add programs to the programs list. Anyone?

nice find! I was working on my own but i love the MCE 2k5 interface. I think I may work on this and see what comes out of it. I just got mce installed in my MII 12000 and it works fine. although when adding songs(983) for the first time everything seems sluggish but I think its because its trying to ortganise them and get info from the net. I certainly hope its not the 1.2ghz via cpu.

Been doing some reading and it looks like you have to do some programming to be able to integrate your own programs in the "more programs" section of MCE. Kind of sucks. Who wants to be the one to integrate D3?

I'd wait on that, I just read some on the sdk. All the interface must be done
in html.

Really? Yuck, wonder why they did it that way.

for the first time of intergrating all my movies and mp3's, it was slugish too...but I have the DVD function, everything runs like a charm, even touch screen. You could also invest 33 bucks and buy the remote...which I'm doing.
