Media Centre Plugins

Windows Media Centre 2005 and up have had many developers creating many great Media Centre plugins. These plugins allow Windows Media Centre to enter a whole new realm of exciting experiences, they range from bidding on Ebay tools to weather tools. This page will give you a more indepth view about the plugins you can use in Windows Media Centre.

mceAuction

This unique plugin will allow you to access Ebay from within Windows Media Centre.

The great thing I really like about it is the fact that you can be watching a video or listening to music and the tool automatically updates you when your auction is finishing and gives you a link back to the auction

The interface itself is so easy to use and can browse through Ebay very easily, you can even look within Windows Media Centre at Google Maps so you can see the items location.

mceContacts

This plugin allows you to have a little mini address book load within Windows Media Centre, these contact list can be arranged in the same fashion as Outlook 2007 might.

You can group by name, country,address etc. This plugin has a very graphical interface for each individual contact with the usual listings, plus an attached photo of the person.

You can use the Contact Manager to import and export all your contacts, you can import contacts from Skype, Outlook or the Windows Address book.

AutoDVRconvert

This plugin will convert your recorded TV from Windows Media Centre which is recorded in dvr-ms into other formats. This is very helpful for people who may not have a device which supports dvr-ms. The plugin converts automatically to MPEG-2.
