A Channel 9 Event RSS feed service interpreter that stores feed data locally and has a simple user interface for viewing or linking to presentation media. Useful for downloading videos for offline viewing. Configurable to support most events listed at https://channel9.msdn.com/Browse/Events.

• Required: Visual Studio 2017 for Windows (Community or higher)
• Open the solution and set the startup project to ChannelNineEventFeed.WPF
• Build
• Start Debugging
• Select from a preset event filter
• Select a year to begin downloading event data
• Filter by categories, or by speakers
• Click on the details button for a presentation to display a summary
• Click on a media link to display a built in video player (NOTE: The player may stall when beginning playback and has other bugs to be fixed)
• Click on a speaker link to navigate to a web page for the speaker
• Click on a presentation link to navigate to a web page for the event and session
• Videos can be downloaded to your current Windows user "My Videos" directory. (NOTE: If that default directory location was moved, the code currently may not be able to locate the correct folder.)

• Default event configuration, event names, and years (or secondary feed routes), is stored in the file eventData.json. The file is in the project ChannelNineEventFeed.Data in the Events folder.
  • You can add events to this file as needed by inspecting the root links to events listed on the https://channel9.msdn.com/Browse/Events page. The pattern is simple: https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/[Event Name]/[Event Year]
• The folder location for video downloads is determined at runtime. The code for that is location in the ChannelNineEventFeed.WPF project in the MediaWindow.xaml.cs and PresentationWindow.xaml.cs files.
