View 1 RepliesVB - Desktop Computer With Cable Connection On Back Allows To Watch TV On Computer Using Windows Media Center
Jun 12, 2010I have a desktop computer with a cable connection on the back that allows me to watch TV on the computer using Windows Media Center. I had the idea of writing a program that would access this feed and send it to another computer (laptop) via my network. That way I would be able to watch TV from anywhere that my network spans. I have no idea if this is possible or how I would even do it,
So I have three questions.
1: Is it possible?
2: How would I go about access the feed?
3: How would I send it over the network?
My original thought was doing it in Flash, but I'm not very good at Flash so I wanted to do it in VB.Net.

[2008] Get Form To Appear On Top Of Media Center?
Jan 19, 2009i have media center's "put media center always on top UNchecked, but it doesn't seem to affect how the program works if it's maximized. I have a custom media control interface with functions that change depending on an event such as holding the button in. To show the user what it's SUPPOSED to be doing, i've tried a few different ways to get a notification to show over the top of media center's screen.
1. Had media center's display notifications turned on and showed a balloontip in the task bar... NO EFFECT
2. Found a MCE Plugin i can shell to, but am unable to actually find a download site in english for it
3. Wrote a simple vb.net program to give a popup form to show text but it appears behind the mce window always, even when i have the form's "always on top" checked, and i even tried the setwindowpos api call, although i might not have used it correctly since i manually converted it from vb6.
My final attempt will be to send the keycommand to "restore" the media center window which will open up some screen real estate on the bottom and right, exposing part of my program's window that i can show text on.

View 1 RepliesVS 2008 : Media Center Remote/Arrow Navigation?
Jul 10, 2009I have made a really simple program launcher for my home theater pc that allows me to launch 6 programs, open/close the optical drive and shutdown.I don't have a mouse or a keyboard normally hooked up. I can navigate the buttons with the up and down arrows fine, but only in the tab index order. Is there a way to allow the left/right arrows to focus on the buttons to the side? Here is a screen shot of my application to hopefully give a better idea of what I'm asking. (eg. Can I hit the right arrow from my first button and focus on the Open button?)
View 4 RepliesMedia Center Plugin To Show Internet Tv From A Local Provider?
Dec 9, 2010We are working on a media center plugin to show internet tv from a local provider. They are distributing their metadata as this link[URL]..It seems to be an xml list of rss feeds, because if I open the links in internet explorer, I get a nice html page.
My task in this project, is to write an aggregator that read the xml feeds, convert this into collections of metadata objects, that will be used to build the menu in media center. These will be simple List of... objects with categories, synopsis etc.
What is the best way in .NET to make this happen. It isn't even pure xml but rss feeds and I have never worked wit this. Can I benefit from technologies like xsd schemas, LINQ etc to make my job easier?

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftFusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftFusion!EnableLog].
I guess this is a reference issue, but I have added references to WMP libraries (axinterop.wmplib.dll and interop.wmplib.dll). The WMP works on the XP machine, but not when called from my application.I have searched the web now for 5 days and changed references, and reinstalled the media player on the XP machine, but nothing works.

Code:
System.InvalidOperationException was unhandled

The error is: Could not load file or assembly 'Interop.WMPLib, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. I added the wmp.dll in the COM components in the toolbox.
I cant get it to work.
I have 64bit windows, but the app im developing needs to work of 32bit (and 64 bit if possible). also windows 7.
I added a new form and tried to drag the windows media player component onto the form and it showed an error and would not add it to the form it said.
Failed to create component 'AxHost'....unable to load one or more of the requested types.
The weird thing is if i open a new project ad=nd add the wmp control to the form it works and debuig runs fine too!
