Media Browser for Windows 7 Media Centre


Prior to Windows 7, I wouldn't usually run Media Centre, as it was prone to crashing and was generally a slow application however, with the stability and ease of Win7, I use this set up.

This is a far better way to experience your media collection.
It runs very smooth however, became jerky once screen captured (@ 10fps in the video) *Standard Excuse*



You can download Media Browser from:
http://www.mediabrowser.tv/

If you wish to play MKV files through Media Centre, download and install Haali Media Splitter from:
http://haali.su/mkv/

The best site I've found to help with Media Centre hacks and mods is:
http://www.hack7mc.com/

If you want a good meta data gatherer, I recommend MCM (Media Centre Master):
http://www.mediacentermaster.com/
The guy who wrote the software is very responsive in his forums and doesn't talk nonsense.
I think his name is Pete. Donate if you can. Indie Coders Win!

This is a link to his forum explaining the features of his software:

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask in the comments.
I will try to answer them.
