Project Description
A plugin for Vista MCE written in MCML for managing different types of media. The current release is just a torrent display that shows the status of torrents in uTorrent. You can also search tvrss.net for a torrent and add it. You will need to have the webui part of uTorrent installed and running in order for it to work.

Items currently in development:
Plugin model for new types of media (Netflix, Epg, TVRss, MeeVee)
Two main views - Discover Content and Search Content
Asynchronous Searching - When you search as each item completes they will show up

Future items
Multiple filters per plugin on the different views. For example The Netflix plugin on the discover content could have Watch Now, Browse DVD, Recommendations
Better navigation between the different views.
Integration with My Movies.
A season pass type interface to allow the user to enter in a show and then be able to pull the episodes from any of the different sources (Netflix, Epg recording, torrent, Hulu (if i get that working))

I have used items from the following places so I would like to credit them with getting a lot of this working...
UTorrentLib - http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=31188
MCMLookalike - https://sourceforge.net/projects/mcmlookalike
Z & Q Project - Media Center SDK
Argotic Syndication Framework - http://www.codeplex.com/Argotic (for RSS stuff)
VMC Netflix - http://code.google.com/p/vmcnetflix/

Another thing I would like from this project is to use it as a "how to" of coding MCML projects. It took a lot of work in order to figure out MCML and I wish I would of had a real project like this with the same look and feel as MCE in order to learn from. I am not saying that this is the right way to code it but this has a lot of the elements that make up a standard mce application.

It shows up in the program library. Let me know if you still don't find it.

I must be missing something. I executed the msi, filled in my utorrent Web UI information, and it appeared to complete successfully. Then when I fire up Vista Media Center, I do not see any new items. This is the first time I've installed an add-on, so I'm sure I'm just missing something obvious. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Travis

Changed discover content to be asynchronous as well. Also switched search results and discover content to use the same mcml page.

Have implemented a search media interface that searches tvRSS and Netflix and brings back the results in a pivot table.
