MCE-Software.com Addon Bundle: RSS, Weather, File Manager, Menu Editor, Translator, Outlook
The My Web News software package is a Menu system with which you can extend your Media Center in a very flexible way. It started as an RSS Feed application, but during the time many features have been added. The latest feature, My Outlook, is available now.
My Web News is designed as a flexible menu system with support for RSS Feeds through customizable filters. You can create your own menu structure and this way organize the programs you have installed on your MCE and the RSS Feeds. The total number of news feeds or menu items is unlimited and news feeds and menu items can be mixed. A menu item can be any html page or url, but within MCE its preferably a hosted html application. As an example the alternative Start Menu page is added to Applications, with which you can reach all the menu items of MCE (this is part of the MCE SDK, but now in MCE style). You can add, modify and delete items under Settings in My Web News.
My Weather shows you the weather, including a 10 day forecast, in your favorite cities. You can change your location for the weather under Settings in My Weather. My Weather has some extra features like My Map Viewer that shows you almost every map the Weather Channel supports, with up to date satellite photos and My World Weather showing you animations of global satellite photos.
My File Manager is also located under Applications. With My File Manager you can browse through your folders and view ASCII, image and shortcut files or listen to audio files or watch video files.
With My Special Folders you can go directly to many special folders like My Favorites and use it as an alternative browser within MCE.
With My Music (a special version of My File Manager/My Special Folders), you can listen to music, but also play video files. You can use your directory structure to choose the song desired, which is convenient if you have a large amount of music files. This way you can organize music and video the way you want it (and not the way MCE and Media Player want it). My Music uses the default music directory of Media Player and in fact uses the Media Player to play the music and videos.
With My Menu Editor you can change the names of programs in the Start Menu, More Programs and Internet Radio. You can also add and delete programs.
With My Translation you can translate words or small sentences between 32 language combinations, including English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. It is based on Alta Vista Babelfish translations.
My Outlook is under development now, its not designed as email program, but as a front end for MS Outlook. It enables you to browse through the MS Outlook folder structure and view Mails, Contacts, Appointments, Tasks and Notes. It also works well with Hotmail accounts in Outlook. The current version supports the creation of new Appointments, Contacts, Emails, Tasks and Notes. Almost every week some features will be added.
