MCE SideShow

Congratulations to the SideShow team for launching the new Windows Media Center gadgets (BETA)!

These gadgets have been in the making for quite a while and appeared as far back as CES 2007.

To sign up to the Beta you need to visit Microsoft Connect here to activate your copy. However (as Darryl informs me) this link can only be used once per person, to re-download you must go directly to Microsoft Connect and find the Beta through there.

It is great to be able to control my Media Center from my SideShow devices. So long Windows Media Player gadget!

So, what do you get?

  • Browse the TV Guide and schedule recordings
  • Browse movies + pictures library
  • Control what is currently playing and view information
  • Browse your music library

More information can be found on the SideShow blog!

Enjoy,
