Does anyone know if Channel 9 offers an API for it's video content other than the RSS feed which only lists the latest stuff? I want to do a mashup for an upcomming talk of the channel 9 videos... Ideally the API would return stuff as JSON or XML ??

we have a bunch of web services that can return lists of videos by tag... but you could do that via RSS as well ... what did you have in mind (what specific requests would you want to make?)

I'm doing a mix09 talk next year in March and for one of my main samples I wanted to build out a RIA version of channel 9. Basically I have 3 months to go nuts and what I want to do is show how I could use Silverlight / Azure /Mesh to turn an already popular asp/html based website to a fully kick ass rich animated web app.. Whatever I do I promise to not kill your services, ill use smart caching where applicable and run everything by your technical guys. I'm pretty cluey on all things web development so can easily work out how your services work, i just need a url and your permissions Smiley ... If you have worries I completely understand BUT i have an idea in my head for this demo and channel nine content happens to be at the center of it Sad
