New to developing MCE 2005 hosted html applications I am looking for some help. I want to make a movie database on my own, with a client on my pc (a windows gui application) holding a database of information. This client should then be able to connect to a database on my mce machine and synchronize the two. Pretty simple, but a nice solution I think.
I am thinking that I only need to make a hosted html application on the mce maschine, because it only needs to list the data found in the database. But for this purpose, do I use hosted .NET Windows Forms in Internet Explorer (described as .NET Applets in the SDK) or do I use an ActiveX? Can I start a movie (or playlist of movies if the movie is split in two cds) if I use WinForms as I can't access the file system?
Somehow I need to retrieve a list of movies (under 'My Videos'), is there a MCE way for this or do I need to use the WMP SDK?
