Samsung MediaLive Extender Netflix Support

Dec 2, 2008 12:28AM PST

Does Samsung have plans to provide MediaLive Extender codec support for Netflix's "watch now" function? Using a third-party software plugin through Windows Media Center, it doesn't seem to be the case.

There's an idea...

I'll take a look to see if it's something we can look into.

Currently, the answer is no. I'll be speaking in January with some of our engineers to see which new technologies they will be incorporating in the newer versions.

Samsung MediaLive Extender Netflix Support Status
Feb 10, 2009 8:38AM PST

A Samsung technician in December indicated that he might have more info on new functionality (Netflix, YouTube) for the Samsung MediaLive Extender in January 2009. Now that we're well into 2009, wondering if there is any update? The addition of codecs for these programs would improve the value of the extender tremendously.
