vmcNetFlix Streams Videos to Your Xbox 360
May 25, 2008 I Entertainment, Technology, Videos.
Windows Vista only: Freeware Vista Media Center plug-in vmcNetFlix streams Netflix Watch Now videos to Windows Media Center extenders, including the Xbox 360. You can also manage your queue, browse movies, and do just about anything else you’d want from a Netflix plug-in. Previously mentioned MyNetflix incorporated all of these features, but so far it does not support streaming to extenders. If you’ve been tempted by the new Netflix streaming box but don’t want to throw down cash when you’ve already got a 360 in your home theater, vmcNetFlix is a sure winner. It’s in beta and still a touch buggy, but it’s very promising. Hit the jump to check out a video of vmcNetFlix in action.

I’ve been writing about Netflix, Blockbuster, Apple, Microsoft, etc. on HackingNetflix for more than 4 years. Did you know that Microsoft was one of the first to offer HD movie downloads through the Xbox 360?If you look closely you’ll see that my gamer score sucks (I don’t get time to play too much).- Mike

can it work with xp? or is that out of the question completely?
May 25, 2008, 4:03 amfrigginyates Says:
seems like a great system, but the lack of support of the windows media center or xp OS is sad. So I cant use this…
May 25, 2008, 11:11 amXdrakemanx Says:
Mike, any way to do this w/ an XP (just the Media Player, not the Center)?

Kick Ass Video! I really enjoyed watching it. I am currently looking around for videos that I can use to promote my eBook about how to copy video games. You can see what site I am talking about by clicking on the link in my profile. So I am wondering, are you the videos creator and Can I Use Your Video For Promotional Reasons?

Damn. I hate Xbox 360! I am not happy with them! I will boycott Xbox 360. I hope Netflix doesn’t offer closed-captioning for Xbox 360.

The only reason why you guys get it for free is because you are payin 50$ a month for your LIVE SERVICE M$ pays million for Netflix. I’d rather keep my DVD Package renting than paying LIVE for 50$ a month. “He SAYS THIER NETWORK IS SLOW”. Hows that for service.
May 25, 2008, 1:45 pmcawpin Says:
XBox Live is $50 a YEAR, not a month. The watching on the 360 is in addition to the regular Netflix account so your DVDs don’t stop. Next time, know what you’re talking about and you won’t look like a jackass, jackass.

May 25, 2008, 3:49 amDocPepperSpray Says:
Yeah this is all fine and dandy for someone who runs Windows Vista, but I’m an XP user and will never EVER FUCKING EVER EVER INSTALL VISTA! I don’t want it, I don’t want it anywhere near my system. There are a lot of people who still run XP. Please show them a little love and write something for it’s Windows Media Ceter, if not then thanks for nothing.

Like that’ll ever happen, people like us who don’t like shitty OS’s are pretty much fucked when it comes to anything to do with media center.

? ps3 browser has flash higher than 7? i thought adobe didnt want that released on consoles. U dont pay extra for the service since u can already watch on pc
May 25, 2008, 12:59 amastroblaster56 Says:
yes its a pretty new update you can even watch gametrailers now and i found about 7 sites with very good quality you can watch movies it’s awesome
May 25, 2008, 7:54 pmxxxxMetaknightxxxx Says:
? so you use the internet browser ….. thats horrible. I can also watch movies too but its not the same as xbox’s app, since it has surround sound,higher video quality etc
May 25, 2008, 9:19 pmxxxxMetaknightxxxx Says:

i saw today on G4 tech tv that SONY is removing all the movies from Netflix which were produced by the studios backing SONY.
May 25, 2008, 9:27 pmxxxxMetaknightxxxx Says:
360 has a feature to stream movies from comp. But honestly netflix streaming is better than buying movies all the time or hoping there arent many leach for torrent but hey i have dolby speakers its not a option for me :p and i like better vid quality
