So far, when I right click on any of the media files listed in this post, nothing happens on the PC or the xbox. I don't get the dialog asking whether or not I want to play the file. What gives? I'm running an older version of XBMC, but I think that it's the last official release. Do I need one of the newer builds? What else could cause this problem?

This looks very cool, just a shame I don't use XBMC much anymore!

I installed this extension a little while ago, but am experiencing a problem.

I got the ext, installed it, and configured it for my XB IP. When clicking on the links you provided I could stream no problem, but I ran into another problem.

When going to a site such as IN FIREFOX not XBMC: http://www.milkandco...om/links/35959/

I get an error from firefox that I did not previously have;

"Illegal operation in Plug-in

Windows Media Player Dynamic Link Library
The Plug-in performed an illegal operation. You are strongly advised to restart Firefox."

Now unless I check the "Do not show again this session" box it repeats. If I open the link in a new window instead of a tab it closes Firefox with no warning instead.

I have since uninstalled the XBMC plugin, but it still has the same error. Any ideas??

damn, i wish i saw this earlier
just two hours ago i was shoing a few virals to my family, and i had to save them, and copy them to my PC, and then broswe there though the XBOX

this would've been cool

anyway, installed it, loved it!

something must be wrong with my setup. when i dragged it to my firefox window it attempted to install, but then said

QUOTE

Firefox could not install the file at

(file address on my pc)

because: Not a valid install package

any words of wisdom?

oh yeah, firefox version is 1.5.0.2

Doesn't youtube use Flash to encode their videos? Does XBMC support *.swf files?

This is great for mp3 and vid feeds!! Works!! But has anyone figued out how this could work for Gamespot movie feeds?

Theres an excellent utilty for no ads for getting url links use for windows media player but hoping it could use for xbmc with http://gsad.webhop.net little Gamespot no ads neat little application.

I try to use xbmx gamespot scripts but videos not updated on regular basis and mot are missing, would be great if it worked with firefox extention.

Wow, this is cool. It works great!
Really simple, too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Now someone should make a Windows Explorer extension like this, a "Play in XBMC" link or something that would go in the right-click context menu of a video file.

I second this as well. I don't have all my folders set for share and sometimes there is a video somewhere else on the drive that i want to watch on the TV real quick. If i could just right click the file and send it over to the box real quick that would be pretty cool. Not necessary but just one of those little things that would make XBMC even cooler than it already is (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif).
