    Default Media Catcher API

    Does anyone know of a programmatic interface for replay media catcher? I want to be able to record items based on an RSS feed and thought about writing a program to do this.

    Thanks!

    What I did was programattically control the browser. Most browsers allow something like
    browser.exe -open "http ://some url"

    Then you generally want to get the browser off the url so you aren't watching a stream and recording the same stream. RMC opens it's own steam independent of the browser so no need to be running two streams.

    For me Opera has a Kiosk mode that reverts back to the main page, e.g., about:blank, after x minutes of inactivity. So I set that to one minute. But you could do similar with
    browser.exe /open "blank.htm"
    Need a blank.htm in the path. Just a text document with nothing works.

    Then just scheduler to run the command lines.

    This isnt precisely what you want, but it's an idea. There are so many browser addons and plugins, especially for Firefox, that I'd think controlling the browser is the simpler way to go.
