I'm a developer for Channel 9.

  • Windows 8 App for Channel 9 now available

    @dcuccia - looks like you downloaded the wrong app Smiley Try using the link Duncan provided in the post above to get our official app.
  • Windows 8 App for Channel 9 now available

    Really sorry those of you who can't get it yet, like Duncan said, we're working with the store to get it figured out. @raptor3676 - We did program playto to work in this app so I'm curious why it doesn't work for you. Does your Xbox not show up when you click the Devices charm or is something else happening?

    @Int64: This bugs me as well! I'm glad to hear someone else noticed it too so I can justify taking the time to make it work that way.

    @eduquint: Funny you should ask because there is actually a download flyout there in the code but it's commented out because I couldn't quite get the functionality working before we pushed it to the Store. By default, it tries to open an instance of IE to download the video, which makes sense because we are giving it a URL, but it seems strange as a user experience for this particular case so we need to figure out how to just prompt to save the file locally without it using IE.

    @alirezanoori: It is a bit vanilla right now but that's mostly because our real designers have been extremely busy and it was left up to a dev (read: me Smiley) to design. I'm sure the UI will be improved.

    Thanks for all of the feedback, we've just scratched the surface with this app so it's great to get more ideas.

    The horizontal scrolling with the mouse will be in the next update. I don't use a scrolling mouse so I didn't notice it was missing (oops) but it wasn't hard to add. That's good feedback about the search and the video getting reset when the computer goes into hibernate - I'll look into those issues.

    @dentaku: Clint let me drive the base (sans chair) around the hallways here after MIX using an xbox controller since the chair wasn't hooked back up yet and I can confirm that with the wheels on correctly, it does indeed "turn on a dime".

    Love it! Nice job you guys - you should think about making videos as a profession or something Wink

    Yes, if you're on a Mac I would suggest checking that HTML5 video player option in your profile. You can also add ?html5=true to any video page to test it out.
