Hi All,
Is it possible to have such apps as (UK biased here) Sky's Now TV, BBC iPlayer, 4oD, ITV Player, Demand5 (plus many film system such as Netflix, Amazon Prime) directly launchable from within MC, so that you don't need to leav (and return to) the 10 ft theatre view) I know that MC has the idea of a 'Plugin', but I'm not entirely sure if this is the same concept.
Obviously, there are now many, many competing media savvy devices (from Smart TVs from the likes of Samsung, LG, Panasonic or Sony; to streaming devices such as Roku, Sky Now TV (made by Roku), WD TV, Google Chromecast, Apple TV; to consoles such as the PS and XBOX). Each of these have their own ecosystem and allow the user to launch all these apps and more.
I know that MC supports a very limited number of these services (such as Netflix and now ChromeCast (I think)), but it seems as though the ability to utilise such apps within MC on a grander scale is missing and other device are leaping ahead (albeit, maybe not from a quality point of view).
Obviously, this post has a heavy UK slant (as I'm based in the UK) but I'm guessing there are similar apps for these devices in the US and other parts of the world.
Is this something JRiver are looking to expand upon?
