Anyone have any suggestions for clean integration of zinc.tv with 7MC? Looking at the site they have moved away from the download program that the launcher was intended to run and have focused on a web interface.

Just curious if anyone is using it and how they are using it....

I understand that the web interface is newer. However, based on my own comparison with both versions, the PC version is still significantly better and has more channels and content. I do not know why the "newer" web interface still lags so significantly behind in terms of content.
I use this launcher:

I belive that Zinc (PC application version) is an excellent compliment to WMC for Internet video content. I have the launcher set up in my Extras menu strip.

I agree I have been using this for quite some time and it works great. The only possible drawback if you can call it that is you need to keep your keyboard handy as more and more web sight's start the program as paused and you need to click play to get it started. I think they secretly don't want people to use there web sight via a actual TV as opposed to a computer, boy some people are behind the times.TV_MCE wrote:I understand that the web interface is newer.
