.WTV is the new DVR-MR format for recorded TV-shows in the Vista Media Center with TV Pack 2008 installed. Since there is a bug in that TV Pack, not allowing to see the current playback posision within the MSAS COM State integration service, the only way to 'fix' the commercial skipping addin, is to convert the .WTV file into a .DVR-MR,...
We have an open source media center plug-in. At the moment its download size is one measly megabyte. If I change my plug-in to require .NET 3.5, users may have to download 197 megs just to be able to use my plug-in. I am in the middle of a big refactoring process, and am aching to use some of the functional aspects of LINQ, which would...

Everything works fine when UAC is disabled but as soon as UAC is enabled I get an Access is Denied error.

My goal is to be able to get all of the WMC pc's in my house playing the same music playlist at the same time. If I can't do it with the WMC software, I will bypass that and do something with WinAmp and a Shoutcast server running on one of them (or something, haven't gotten that far yet).

I'd like to query the Windows 7 Media Center Program Guide from a C# app. e.g. to answer questions like "What time is The Inbetweeners next showing on Channel 4?". I've looked through the Media Center SDK (v6 and v5) but this suggests it is only possible to use the Microsoft.MediaCenter.TV.Scheduling classes to request recordings ("Clic...

AddInHost.Current.MediaCenterEnvironment.PlayMedia(Microsoft.MediaCenter.MediaType.Video, path, false) In Vista, consistently, after this call we have a media experience rea...
