Maybe you want to get to know the new Windows Server Code Name “Vail” Preview SDK a little better.
There are a lot of good examples in the API Reference.
Here are some "Chat" example directions for the Provider Framework.
- The template-file ProviderObjectModel.zip is zipped in the wrong way and will not be
recognized by Visual Studio. The Folder structure ProviderObjectModel.zip should be the
same as in other template-files.
- Do not forget to change the ProviderID in the ObjectModelImplementation File:
m_connector = ConnectorFactory.GetConnector<IProvider>("chat",this);
You can also Download these two Visual Studio Solutions for better understanding
ChatObjectModel.zip (482,21 kb)
ChatClient.zip (285,64 kb)

WHS-Download Manager 3.2.3
The Download Manager had some trouble with the WHSDM Windows Service recently. So Version 3.2.3 has a new thread management running in the background and also new download methods. This new Version includes a Multi-Link feature to improve the download speed. Any file will be split into three segmented parts. Each Segment has a seperate connection to the filehoster. This should increase your download speed.
Please notice that the Multi-Link Feature is only available for Premium users.
Also new is the Resume Function for all filehoster and the modifided save.tv Record Download includes the
.info file for Cutbutler to remove commercials in the TV recording.
The DLC-Container users have the possibility to drag the file to the download folder. The Download Manager
recognizes the file & filehoster and transfers them (if the filehoster user data is stored) to the Download Pool.
WHS-Download Manager 3.2.3 supports following filehoster:

In the last couple of Days Save.Tv made a lot of changes to their system.
The conclusion is: Version 3.2.2 actually not supports SaveTv.
But the new Version 3.2.3 will be released in the next Days.
Features List which include the Save.Tv support come in the next few days.

WHS-Download Manager 3.2.2
There is support for another filehoster
WHSDM-Service 1.0.1
There are two new extensions for the WHS-Download Manager available.
The WHSDM Webservice extension. It extends your Windows Home Server
with a Webservice, that you can operate from your browser or another application.
The URL is http://yourservername/whsdmservice/DownloadPool.asmx
The Webservice awaits a String with semicolon separated URLs. After the filehoster check, the
URLs are added to the Download Pool.
Firefox Add-on
The first Appllication that uses this Webservice is a Firefox Add-on from Daniel Siegers.
After the installation you must configure the Add-on.
Start the Firefox Add-on, select the WHS Download Manager Client Add-on
and edit the name of your Home Server under 'Settings' in the URL http://yourservername/whsdmservice/DownloadPool.asmx
Now you can download the file(s) to your harddisk or send the URL to the Home Server.
Note: If you use a filehoster with a premium account, please deposit Username and Password on the Server.
Please install the WHS-Download Manager and the WHS-Service from your Windows Home Server
Remote Console (Settings-Add-Ins). The Firefox Addon must be installed from the Firefox Browser.
You must enable the Remote Access under Windows Home Server 'Settings' to activate the Webservice.
Note: The WHS-Download Manager 3.2.3 is also available!

If the Remote Application fails to get connected to the server:
Please check your Homeserver firewall settings. The Application uses Port 8085
to communicate with the server.
One solution is: Homeserver Remote Desktop
Start--> Control Panel--> Windows Firewall --> Exceptions<
Add Program -- Navigate to c:\Program Files\WHSDM Software\WHS Download Manager\WHShDown.exe
