Roxio Kio - A Media Center Experience on your XP machine

Windows Media Center was such a great idea that we built a few plug-ins for it, but those plug-ins couldn’t run on Windows XP. Now they can. With Roxio Kio, you can use Media Center plug-ins on Windows XP. Just install Kio and your plug-ins can be launched and used just as if you were in Windows Media Center.

System Requirements

Windows XP, Windows XP Media Center

FAQs

Can I use a remote control to navigate Kio and the plug-in apps?

Yes. But you’ll need to equip your computer with an IR receiver and compatible remote, about $35-40. You can get MCE remote controls and IR receivers at sites like these:

Will all MCE plug-ins work with Kio?

Other third party plug-ins may work, but Kio is primarily focused on support for Roxio plug-ins.

Where can I get more Media Center plug-ins?

Roxio Labs offers 3 plug-ins – DV Capture, Digital Media Archive, and MyTV ToGo. Windows Media Center marketplace is one place to find third party plug-ins for Windows Media Center.
