it's not obvious how to do this, can someone advise?

from the docs, you'd think it would be MCWS/v1/Television/PlayChannel?Channel=XXX but MCWS/v1/Television/GetOrderedListOfTVChannels produces

Code: [Select]

<Item Name="OrderedList">458471,458466,458469,458464,586842,458467,458470,458465,458468</Item>

https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=135251.0 says I should be able to call GetInfo to work out what these are but they don't exist, each call returns empty

if I actually start playback then call playingnow then I find the actual key = 1935232 & I can start playback using that key but I can't find a reference to that anywhere so no idea if it's temporary or persistent

note that I only use capture cards not a tv tuner

is there a documented way to do this?
