Access the Windows Media Player library C#
I'm trying to figure out how to programmatically query the Windows Media Player library from a C# program. I don't want to control the media player, just be able to query the index of recordings stored in the library.
Using OleDbConnections I have been able to connect to the Windows SystemIndex to query for various files and conditions, but these searches are across all files in my system and not just those maintained in the WMP library.
Can anyone point me in the right direction, please?

MSDN has a whole section on the Media Player SDK - and this page in particular should be of considerable use to you, I hope.

I've been trying to dig around a simple way to distribute this simple application I've created. I want things simple: a simple self-contained installer. Not to say that it cannot be put on the MS-Store, but I want alternative ways to distribute it simply to my clients.
I've create a package, but you need to enable the developers options to run it elsewhere.... And all the other solutions are either VERY costly or require a 3 year degree to understand them. And of course, the documentation on the internet is dominated by Microsoft who push their own solution, i.e. the Store.
I would be grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction please.

It is Crucial in Forms because it is for my school project..
If there isnt something like that is it possible to create such an effect?
AForge is a very easy to use library that can easily make use of a webcam in WinForms. I designed a small app for taking pictures with medical tablets last year and the whole executable weighed less than 1Mb, with the AForge library being the bulk of that.

Check the sample applications that it comes with, there is one premade that has all the code you'll need. It's also a cool library to play with by itself.

I found another question "How to access web camera settings (like in Skype) using DotNet" but it is very old with no answer. I have pretty much the same question.
I am developing a app using SkypeKit and to make it more complete to the user I would like to be able to tap into the webcam/audio/mic settings.
Is there an easy way using C# or skypekit ? & any advice.
Thanks.
You can use DirectShow or a .Net wrapper for it such as DirectShow.Net.
Here are some projects that can help you going:

How do I connect to a USB webcam in .NET?
I'm developing .Net solution with C#.
In my application, I need to know whole connected Webcams or cams. And getting Inputs from these webcams. But main problem is connected webcam devices are unknown.
For example, if someone use my application on their computer, my application must scan all connected webcams and also should be ask to user which webcam user wants to use.it likes Skype does. Skype enables users to select webcam to use. And Skype get inputs from selected webcam.
How can scan webcams and get streams from that web cam?
I would seggest to you to use AForge framework for this, it has all you need in very clean way: http://www.aforgenet.com/framework/samples/video.html

Not really much to go on is there...
I am assuming you want a user to be able to record video in your app. This is not possible without a plugin on the user's machine, like Flash, because it means accessing hardware on the client machine. Flash has this built in and will ask for it to be allowed to access the user's webcam.
You might want to bwe a bit more clear with your question though...
Use Microsoft Expression Encoder for broadcast, and simple Silverlight of Flash control for presentation on a client side.
