I have been a developer for Channel 9 since 2010. I'm responsible for the custom HTML5 video player experience, Xbox One app and the Windows Store app.
I previously worked with Microsoft Store and other clients such as Wizards of the Coast and Corbis. I embrace the title of Full Stack Developer. They do exist! I find that C#, .NET and SQL appeal to my sense of logic and order while HTML, JavaScript and CSS satisfy my creative side.
I strive to keep things simple and standards-based. Mostly I just enjoy building useful things that entertain and make people's lives easier.

Our Xbox One app has launched!Hey folks, watching videos is hard work... so hard that sometimes it is better if you can do it from your couch... so last year we launched an Channel 9 app on the Xbox 360. Of course, technology keeps marching on; the Xbox One is the new hotness, so we had to keep up. I know this was probably a big...

Xbox One and Smartglass App for Channel 9While we were at Build, we took advantage of a nice demo booth setup by Identity Mine, a Premier Plus partner in the Xbox app development program, to run through a demo of our Xbox One app for Channel 9. Identity Mine worked with our development team to add a Smartglass companion app to the Xbox One...

Apr 28, 2015 at 11:56AM@DonaldA: The only thing I can recall is a Windows 8 app we developed for Build 2012 that had a Notes area for each Session. Is that maybe what you're referring to?

Apr 10, 2015 at 10:19AM@Dirtbagg: @Tagaron: Being our first try at an Xbox One app, we kept this initial release simple which means you won't be able to watch the events live but once the videos are up for on demand viewing (*usually* 24-48 hours after), you will be able to watch them via the app. We would love to add this capability in the future though!

Apr 07, 2015 at 3:17PMOkay all, we have updated our odata api which should fix this issue. For users using other languages on their Xbox One besides English, we are now including English content along with content matching your selected language. Please let us know what your experience is like now, if this fixed it for you or not. Thanks for your patience and feedback!

Apr 07, 2015 at 10:51AM@ZippyV: Kind of a tangent but that's strange about the Windows Store app not working for you.
If I remember correctly, live tiles do stop updating after non-use of a few days (I can't remember the exact number). If you open up the app, it should update the live tile for another few days after you stop using it again.
I just opened it and checked Azure Friday and I do see content as recent as 4 days ago. Maybe I can help solve that issue with some more information. Do you have another language selected on your PC besides English? Are you logged into the app under your Channel 9 account or are you signed out? Have you updated the app recently? We pushed out an update about a month ago.

Apr 07, 2015 at 10:40AMSorry for all of the trouble, it does seem to be an issue where the language is set to something that we don't have a lot of Channel 9 content, the app is crashing. We will fix asap!

Apr 02, 2015 at 10:26AM@Martin Zonderland: @LeonMeijer: Sorry you're having trouble with it! I'm not seeing this error myself - do you have a good internet connection? I would try searching with Bing or checking your internet connection: Settings > Network. Let us know if the problem persists.

Apr 01, 2015 at 1:03PM@BraveStarr: You're right, we totally agree that it would be great and super useful to have your queue there. Being our first attempt at developing an Xbox One app, we kept it simple for this launch but we would love to add the queue feature to the app. Thanks for checking it out, hope you enjoy!
Windows 8 App for Channel 9 now available
Jul 09, 2013 at 9:43AM@QuocTruong: Do you mean on the website or in the app? On the website we do have a CC function on both the Silverlight and HTML5 players if there are closed caption files provided by the content owners.
Here is an example: http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/TechEd/NorthAmerica/2013/DBI-B307
I do need to add this functionality to the HTML5 player in the app though so thank you for the reminder!
