Agreed, it'd be greatly helpful if there was a section for codecs. I still need more on this thing that I have some trouble finding.

Ok, that will be next on the agenda. There are so many places for codecs.

Add Media Browser. It's the best Media Center plug-in I have seen, see mediabrowser.com for more info.

There is a little stutter in the video. It doesn't do that I think it might be Fraps. Media Browser is a great plug-in for Vista and Windows 7 Media Center. So great I don't even use Media Center any more. I'm kinda new to it, so it's still a work in progress.

Can you add a management section for programs that will organize music/videos and download the appropiate information for it.

Right now i use meta<browser> instead of mymovies. It gets backdrop/baners/posters and its alright. Still in development and it is updated pretty quickly.

I'm just looking for something that will do all of my music. I want something for album art and to get a backdrop when viewing with mediacenter

Yea I use meta<browser> and Media Center Master.

Oh yeah another program Media Control. This program lets you do fast forward with the remote and lets you toggle between subtitles to turn on/off and audio also.

There would probably be too many to list. Looks like your just talking about Windows Media Center.
