IceTV + MCE + Vista Sidebar Gadget

Posted in Coding, IT, TV / Movies, Windows Vista by Will on November 9, 2006.

Someone needs to develop a Vista Sidebar Gadget that incorporates the guide data from IceTV and adds MediaCentre recording info…. (i.e so I can click on something from the sidebar, and it’ll record).

To get a little more fancy, a local P2P network that linked up other MCE boxes so you could say “Record on so and so” == even better.

Who knows, maybe I’ll do it in .NET 3.0 w/ WPF over my forced holidays.

    Step A - Open up the Konfabulator..err..Yahoo! Widget, and copy that code.

    Step B - Implement Click-To-Record

    Step C - Buy a DVB-T card (usb only), as well as Vista for me, and I’ll do it for you ;)
