How to access show information from another computer

[Jere_Jones]

Is there a way to get show information (i.e. channel, length, category, etc) from another computer on the same network. The only information I would have to start with is the path/filename.

I would prefer something that GB-PVR does natively. Or at least something that most users would not have any difficulty setting up.

Thanks,
Jere

Show information is stored in an mdb database. The various calls to load show/recording information ultimately end up using OleDB/ODBC to access the database. This uses the connection string specified in the config.xml file, which can be altered to include a UNC path to the MDB file on another machine.

Examples of those API calls in use can be found in the web app, which includes source and is distributed with the GB-PVR distribution.
