    Live TV/Recorded TV Meta Data

    As you could guess by the title I'm trying to find how to get the current live TV or recorded TV meta data.  I can retrieve the meta data for a video or music file fine, but as I'm sure some know the current meta data is null for TV.  How can I get this information?

    Are you using TV Pack ?  If so, have you read the topics on what is broken?

    Cheers,

    metadata is null for tv in MC regardless of version.  it's a documented feature of the API.

    right, but Im looking to retrieve the channel number and  call sign if tv is being played.  Is that information available anywhere?
