    How to read detailed info about a recording being in playback

    Hi,
    I want to find out during playing back a recording the information about the running video (from within an add-in, using MSAS or something else):
    - channel name;
    - title/description;
    - duration etc.

    MediaState->TVRecorded.MediaName gives only the short description of the video. No other info seems to be available.
    I hoped there would be an ID that could be used then to get the full details from the list obtained from:

    ICollection<ScheduleEvent> _RecordingList = null;
    EventSchedule schedule = new EventSchedule();
    _RecordingList = schedule.GetScheduleEvents(DateTime.Now.AddYears(-1),
                                                                    DateTime.Now.AddYears(1),
                                                                    ScheduleEventStates.HasOccurred);

    but nothing is possible.
    The old threads about something similar don't help too much as I'm not interested to find out the running filename.

    Has anyone an idea about how to solve this problem?

    thanks,
    eugen

    ASFAIK there isn't a supported way to get that sort of information about recorded tv during playback.
