The developer of SecondRun.tv, a plugin for Windows Media Center that lets you watch videos from Hulu and other network TV web sites with a remote control instead of a mouse has developed a first public beta.
The plugin works with Windows Vista and Windows 7, but there are still a few kinks to work out. While it's easy to browse for movies in full screen mode, when you click a video it may not play in full screen mode. The developer says Hulu videos will display in full screen, while videos from other sites like ABC.com won't. But sometimes even Hulu videos won't play full screen.
But for an early beta, this plugin is still pretty awesome. In fact, it's something I've been waiting for since Microsoft first announced an "Internet TV" feature and since Hulu launched. It's too bad that Microsoft or Hulu didn't develop an official plugin, but with a little work SecondRun.tv will be just as good.
