For a very long time, I used it like a normal computer with keyboard and mouse.  However the typical computer user interface is not designed for a dad holding a baby.  I need a more user friendly solution to use the computer on the TV.  I bought this generic made-in-China Windows MCE remote on eBay for $12.  Any MCE remote properly works or less the same.  I like this one because it is cheap and I can control the mouse cursor and buttons through the remote.<\/p>\n<p>The MCE remote works with the Windows Media Center (WMC) comes with Windows 7 installation.  It is pretty much a full screen media library browser and multi-media player.  WMC on its own is pretty useless other than showing baby photos.  With the help of just a few plug-ins and free software, I can turned my download library into something looks like Netflix.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.horace.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/g1.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"6850\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.horace.org\/blog\/2012\/11\/28\/windows-mce-remote-windows-media-center-media-browser\/g1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.horace.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/g1.jpg?fit=785%2C443&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"785,443\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;sam&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"g1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.horace.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/g1.jpg?fit=474%2C267&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.horace.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/g1-300x169.jpg?resize=300%2C169\" alt=\"\" title=\"g1\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6850\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.horace.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/g1.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.horace.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/g1.jpg?resize=150%2C84&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.horace.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/g1.jpg?resize=400%2C225&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.horace.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/g1.jpg?resize=500%2C282&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.horace.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/g1.jpg?w=785&amp;ssl=1 785w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>First, I installed <a href=\"http:\/\/codecguide.com\/download_kl.htm\">K-Lite Codec Pack<\/a>, both the 32 bit and 64 bit version, since WMC in runs 64 bits.  This Codec allow me to play pretty much any media files inside WMC.  Then I installed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mediabrowser.tv\/\">Media Browser<\/a>, so WMC can display files in my media library.  The WMC\u3000built-in movie library only recognize Microsoft file formats and ripped DVDs.  However, it can only display the filenames and directory by default.  It does not know which file is what movie.  To add the final touch, I ran <a href=\"http:\/\/tvscout.codeplex.com\/\">Media Scout<\/a> to set up the metadata for my media files.  It pulls the movie title, description, poster and all sorts of information from imdb.  <\/p>\n<p>Now I can sit back and relax in the couch, browse my movie library at ease while holding the baby with one hand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I hooked up my old computer to the TV in the living room to watch downloaded movies and TV.
