The pace of Media Center development seems to be picking up recently and here is another new project. MCE Media Manager for managing different types of Media from the Media Center UI. At the moment the project is focusing on a display that shows the status of torrents in uTorrent

Project Description
A plugin for Vista MCE written in MCML for managing different types of media. Right now I am just working on a torrent display that shows the status of torrents in uTorrent. You can also search tvrss.net for a torrent and add it. You will need to have the webui part of uTorrent installed and running in order for it to work.
I have used items from the following places so I would like to credit them with getting a lot of this working…
UTorrentLib – http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=31188
MCMLookalike – https://sourceforge.net/projects/mcmlookalike
Z & Q Project – Media Center SDK
Argotic Syndication Framework – http://www.codeplex.com/Argotic (for RSS stuff)
Another thing I would like from this project is to use it as a "how to" of coding MCML projects. It took a lot of work in order to figure out MCML and I wish I would of had a real project like this with the same look and feel as MCE in order to learn from. I am not saying that this is the right way to code it but this has a lot of the elements that make up a standard mce application.

So as with other Media Center development project please support this project by contributing at Codeplex
