FR: load external apps such as Netflix and BD Playback software

[Nathanio 35]

I have been playing with ET a bit more now and thumbs up so far. Hopefully EPG and LiveTV will be coming soon!

 

The thing that would make it more Wife Acceptance Factor friendly would be to have it open external apps (so not having to drop to desktop) for applications like Netflix (Windows 8/10 Apps) and PowerDVD or similar. 

 

Cheers

I'm sure it will eventually get there.

Sure it will Luke. Happy so far - just need to ween the family off the FTV and back onto a PC proper

Like this thread. I've put in a similar request for this. If the devs see likes they will have a better understanding of how many people want external apps.

This is a great idea! I have content in online services such as Vudu and Disney Movies Anywhere. I can add those items to Emby using Media Stubs and then tag them accordingly (eg, Vudu). Since there is a Vudu app for Windows 10 it would be awesome to be able to jump straight to that (perhaps even with performing a search based on the title, if the app would support that via command line options) from Emby Theater.

I meant to add that I'm open to seeing if I can do a Pull Request for some of this functionality if someone can direct me to the appropriate file(s) on GitHub.
