    I would check out http://www.chilkatsoft.com/xml-dotnet.asp which is a free component pack for XML
    ( I just found this. Looks promising. My original approach was a WebClient to load an XmlDocument)
    then you go something like

    Chilkat.Atom a = new Chilkat.Atom();
    a.DownloadAtom("http://api.mtvnservices.com/1/video/search/?term=%22buddy+holly%22");
    for (int i = 0; i < a.NumEntries; i++) {
    Chilkat.Atom s = a.GetEntry(i);
    string title= s.GetElement("title", 0);
    String LargestThumbnail = s.GetElementAttr
    ("media:thumbnail", s.GetElementCount("media:thumbnail") - 1, "url");
    }
    good luck!

    how about player control / events? i need to be able to detect a stop event and i see that is possble on that sample page.. just don't know how to use it here..
