I would like to request a Media Center for Windows 7 program guide from a C # application. for example, to answer questions such as "What time is the Inbetweeners next Channel 4 show?"
I looked at the Media Center SDK (v6 and v5), but this suggests that you can use the Microsoft.MediaCenter.TV.Scheduling classes to request records ("Click-to-record"). I cannot find a way to simply request and return a list of readings without asking Media Center to record something.
A bit of web searching invites me to open SQLite db, which Media Center uses behind the scenes (ProgramData \ Microsoft \ eHome \ EPG \ epg.sdf) and requests it. I could have done it, but it seems to me a bit sensitive to access Media Center data.
So, am I missing something in API.Net? Is there a way to request a schedule without going back to Media Center?
