The Media Center Sandbox

Hi all

i'm designing a MCE Addin Program and would like to perform some operations such as running a batch file on the newly recorded clip when the recording stops. How do i detect the event? I have read about using MSAS to detect, but i totally have no idea as in how to start.

is there any example for me to take a look at?

Thank You

Have a look in the SDK samples section - there is a sample of how to use MSAS there.

Cheers,
Andrew

using an addin w/ msas might not be the most robust way to ensure something happens when recording stops.  first mc needs to be running for the addin to be running, second while msas does report status there are many cases (and this is worse in vista) where msas doesn't work the way it ought to.  it's designed (and works well for) information display, but basing an application around it can be tricky.

depending on your needs it might be better to use a watch and poll modified time model (i use this model for dtb) with recorded shows.
