There is also a networked phone caller ID and answering machine system available here : http://www.thephonebot.com

I'm curious how the remote client would work on Media Center Edition. In fact I would love to get my hands on MCE in some type of developer program, because I think it would be great to support it. I can't afford an MSDN universal license. I enrolled in the partner program but don't see much there for me. Any suggestions?

Media Center for developers

Ethan Zoller — Thu, 20 Jan 2005 23:25:00 GMT

you should totally be able to write a listener for phonebot as a media center add-in; it would do whatever your normal listeners do, and then display the notification dialog using our API.

as for getting the Media Center OS, you've got a few choices:
- you don't need the MSDN universal license, just the "Operating Systems" one, for $700

- you can get just Media Center from a system builder (like http://shop.hdnw.com/asp/product.asp?product=1789&cat=79&ph=&keywords=&recor=&SearchFor=&PT_ID); couple hundred bucks with shipping.

- of course, the easiest approach is to get a new PC with Media Center already installed. (http://www.windowsmarketplace.com/results.aspx?bcatid=470)

G. Man, the Action Pack subscription includes a developer license (5 actually) for MCE. That's how I'm doing my development.

If votes are being taken for the next "must have feature," place a firm "extender support" for me.

I'm getting the following error in the MCE popup.

TARGETSITE: BOOLEAN HASIMAGE(SYSTEM.STRING)

Exception: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
