JRiver,
I had brought this up once (or twice or more) in the past, and it's sort of slipped my mind of late. But now seems as good a time as any to bring up the topic again.
Is it possible to add "internet content" as a form of media? It would seem MC is already web-friendly (i.e. the Start page and the web part of the TV tuner channels), so why not take it one last step?
I suggest you add a "web content" to the Media support that simply opens the internal MC web viewer with the appropriate URL. This will add an entire new dimension to MC, as well as build on existing dimensions.
For example, how do I use MC to "manage" the dymanic web content of many providers? For example, I'm a huge cycling fan (read: Tour de France and Giro d'Italia) and one of my favorite Italian media sources has a page with links to the latest video clips. Of course, the links change frequently. I'd like MC to let me get to the webpage so that I can click on the links (which will then open the Real media in MC). Let me put the URL in the medial library that then opens the internal web browser, and, as the French say (note: snide comment deleted!) "voila".
Or, as I've mentioned before, I'm a little addicted to doppler radar. I love to get a quick fix before I head out in the morning. There are plenty of websites that offer a .jpg, but how do I get at it with MC? Let me put the URL in the Web Library (TM) and Bob's Your Uncle.
This would seem to me to be quite useful with a minimum of programming - but I recognize that to those who don't know how to do anything, everything looks easy!
So... any chance of this making it into production? Please?
