Firefox documentation is coming!

It's been taking a little longer than expected, but the updated documentation for the Firefox plug-in is on its way... it will be posted to msdn once it's finished. I have an unofficial FAQ I can send out to anyone who wants more info on the supported design time parameters and scripting interfaces while you wait for the official docs to be posted... just leave me a comment or send me a message through the blog.

On another note, I've moved over from the media platform team in Windows to the Media Center Devices (read: Extender) team. Since I started my blog, I’ve kept a list of potential blog topics to write up when I get a few extra minutes. One of the topics has been to write up about how Extender works in a bit more detail since I had a pretty bad experience figuring out a connection issue I hit last year when I added another router to my network and assigned it a static IP (which put my Xbox 360/MCX on a different subnet than my PC). Anyway, that was number 9 on my list of topics… it’ll probably get moved up now. And judging by how often I’ve been posting, that means I’ll have something posted in about six months instead of two years J

I spent the last couple of nights trying to connect my Xbox 360 to my Vista Ultimate media center box from different subnets.  The MediaCenter box on my LAN (192.168.1.x) and the Xbox 360 on my DMZ (192.168.2.x).  I really want to keep them separate because I don't want to enable UPnP on my LAN, and I want to have an Open NAT status for the Xbox.  Even with wide open firewall rules (LAN and DMZ allowed out to any), the Xbox wouldn't connect to Media Center.  If you figure this out, please let me know!
