Question

This question is about accessing YouTube content via a C# WinForms application.
The requirements are:

1. To retrieve the metadata for a playlist, or for all playlists from a given artist.
2. To embed video and play it from within the app, synced to external timing events.

Approaches we’ve thought of:

1. Use the YouTube Data API Protocol to retrieve playlists. There isn’t a C# wrapper out there as far as we can tell, though that may be easy to do.
2. Use a WebBrowser to display the video – not sure how we’d control the video though.

Questions:

1. Are these the right approaches?
2. Is there C# wrapper for the YouTube Data API protocol?
3. What is the easiest way to embed the video and to control the video timing?

Many thanks.
