The developer of vmcNetflix, a Windows Media Center plugin that lets you watch streaming video from Netflix.com in the media center interface, has decided to relaunch the program as an open source project. He's looking for other media center applicationd developers who can help improve the project.

vmcNetflix already include features that other Windows Media Center Netflix plugins lack, such as support for media extenders like the Xbox 360. It'll be interesting to see what other features a community of developers can add.

You can download the latest version of vmcNetflix and check out the source code at its new home page.

This is a brilliant program, and a sincere thank you to Eric and the new team of developers working on this. I'm stoked to have gotten in on this during the developement phase as I'm sure vmcNetflix will continue to evolve and be the model used for similar programs in the future. Keep up the fantastic work all, and thanks again!
