I would love to easily watch podcasts on my media center machine. Is there a service or application I can run in the background which will automatically get the latest podcasts and integrate them into media center? Even better, is there a media center application for this which has UI in MCE?

Media Browser does podcasts, but I need to get around to re-writing the buffering portions, cause direct show buffering suck donkeys especially in Vista.

Disclaimer I manage the Media Browser project.

It's been awhile, but I searched far and wide, and iTunes was still the best podcast-grabbing application. The good news is you can tell it to download podcasts to a directory that Media Center will watch for updates, and you'll see them appear in your Music library.

the words "itunes" "best" and "windows" in conjunction do not sit right for me. in my opinion itunes on windows is tolerable at best. – Sam Saffron Aug 6 '09 at 10:10
don't I have to manually launch iTunes each time I start Windows though? – Steve Rowe Aug 6 '09 at 22:00
