I am looking to write a Windows Media Center plugin just like the Netflix WMC plugin. Once logged in, I know the streaming urls that I need to hook in to.

Any source code, reference samples would be great.

Found one on codeplex for swedish TV channels, but right now it's not working for some reason...

Previously asked the following question, with no answers, so updated with a question asked in a easy to relate fashion

Host a streaming video in my client, from a streaming url that is behind a login session?

I am building a Silverlight 4 desktop client to show streaming video from a site that is login based.

So that website has a Silverlight player that does streaming video, the player is behind a login sesion, so just by getting the url from fiddler and trying to play it in my Silverlight 4 desktop client won't work.

Actually after that, I want to build a Windows Media Center plugin to build a Netflix-like client, that allows login through WMC and then allows you to watch streaming video.

Any pointers on how to go about doing any of this?
