Hi Everyone!

Can anyone help to about the following problem:

I want to create an application that could control the MediaCenter.

I can create a new instance, but it stops my application!
MediaCenter.MCAutomation mc = new MediaCenter.MCAutomation();

How can I get instance of the running MediaCenter ?

Thanks!

Take a look at MCWS on this page:

Thank your answer!

I read a lot of topics and tried lot of code , but it does not work!

I want to use a solution like this :
 System.Type oType = System.Type.GetTypeFromProgID("MediaJukebox Application");
 MediaCenter.MCAutomation mc = (MediaCenter.MCAutomation)Marshal.GetActiveObject("MediaJukebox Application");

But it does not work !!!

Can you give me a working source code ?

Thank you very much,
Karesz

On the MCWS page, read how to get the instructions.  Run MC, then enter:

Thank you, but you write a totaly different solution. I know this solution and I can use the WebRequest !

I want to connect to the MediaCenter through the API (MediaCenter.dll or Media Center xx.tbl) and not the MCWS!

Thanks!

Start with the sticky thread and download the C# template solution. It's old, but works. I posted a solution here, too:

https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,104563.0.html

It probably started from the template, but was upgraded to something more modern (probably VS2015).
