TweakMCE for Media Center 2005 is now available via the Winter Fun Pack.

Notes:

• It will be available as a seperate download soon
• It is only for Media Center 2005 USA
• I was the program manager for this project.
• Thanks to Hugh and Dean for coding this up.
• Thanks to Michelle for helping me navigate the red tape to get it released.
• Thanks to Katrina for making the text understandable.
• Thanks to Gabe for getting this out the door.

So what can you change with the TweakMCE power toy?

• General
  • Show your wireless password when you are keying it in instead of hiding it
  • Disable autorun of Interactual content
  • Change the DVD notification timeout
• TV
  • Change the skip forward interval
  • Change the skip back interval
  • Change the storage location for recorded TV
  • Change the watched folders for recorded TV
  • Change the length of time a notification appears before a recording starts
  • Change reaction time compensation
  • Change the more info panel timeout
  • Change the seek bar timeouts
• Music
  • Make the pivots in the music area sticky
  • Turn off that annonying add to queue notification
• Reomte Control
  • Enable a universal remote control by turning off debounce
  • Set your remote control ID so you can have multiple MCEs in one room
• Extender
  • Turn off the TV skin
  • Turn off network congestion dialogs
  • Turn off IE warnings

Some of those settings could have entire blog posts written about them which I hope to do soon.
