Just got the latest windows update ( KB5031356 (OS Builds 19044.3570 and 19045.3570) 10/13/2023. WMC gives me the ALL CURRENT TUNERS IN USE when I try to go to live TV or recorded TV as well. So uninstalled and reinstalled WMC v13. No change. Did this happen to anybody else?

Last post

Anyone updated thru April without issues? Sorry to waste the bandwidth on this.

Thanks much

How do I get eHome Tranceiver drivers for Windows 11

I have tried scouring the net and got .sys files without valid signatures and ehome cab files which won't install.

There must be somewhere where I can download the original Microsoft eHome Tranceiver software ???

I have WMC PC with an infinitv 6 PCIe that is fortunately working fine. I have however had a PC go on me after a recent power outage, so I started looking into building a backup WMC PC.

I did a fresh install on another PC, moved the infinitv over to the new machine and went through the setup...

Last post

Do you recall when you changed the memory and it didn't allow you to watch existing shows, did it request a new PlayReady key? The reason I ask is, that not being able to watch previously recorded DRM-protected shows is not a big issue for me. I don't keep those around long and even if I lost one...

Take a look in that thread.

In short, PlayReady takes a hardware signature of your build if too many changes (i.e. motherboard or CPU) it requests a new key from Microsoft. That server doesn't seem to be up anymore. Thus you can't activate PlayReady on any new machines.

Hello friends of Windows Media Center.
After 6 years without WMC, I decided to return.
I sold my beloved Asus EeeTop ET 602 music PC 6 years ago and have been trying ever since
to get along with Alexa and music via Bluetooth.
But I was always missing something. It was never really great. I missed...

Does it make a difference to open WMP and let that build the thumbnail cache, etc?

First post

For some odd reason, after I updated EPG123 from version 1.2.8.9 to version 1.2.8.11, it wiped out a number of channels in WMC. Apparently, it wiped out channels during one of its scheduled updates. This did not happen when I first installed the update on April 8, 2024. These channels were wiped...

Last post

After I set up WMC again, all of the channels appeared except those that I normally have to enter manually. I entered those channels and ran the update Guide in the EPG123 software. The channels that I entered manually will not populate with channel information. I contacted Schedules Direct...

I have a secondary 7MC computer in the office. It's modestly equipped by today's standards, but it's been working well for years. Dell Inspiron 560 with 4GB RAM.

In the last week, suddenly the computer has become unable to run Media Center. As soon as I launch 7MC, physical memory usage is...

I will add, I'm assuming you are on Win7. If Win10/11 with something other than 8.9.x, you would definitely lose everything and won't be able to get PlayReady working.

Yes, it's a Win7 system. Thanks for the tip, this is good to know.

I hope to get a chance...

I had to Reinstall Windows 11 to get Windows Update to work again. But as a result, WMC stopped working (natch).

I tried to reinstall but it tells me it's already installed.

Is there a simple fix, or must I uninstall/reinstall again? (I have v8.8.5. Is there a newer version?)

TIA

Last post

It may have failed to detect WMC due to an incomplete uninstall of 8.8.5... specifically from the GAC. The client will look at mcepg.dll, mcstore.dll, and BDATunePIA.dll to try and determine which version of WMC is installed. If it does not find those files in the GAC, or can't determine what...

I am no longer using MCL (MyChannelLogos) to import logos and tweak the channel guide, since it's no longer supported and abandoned. I have been a long time user and supporter of EPG123, and with all the WMC tweaks that have been added, it makes EPG123 pretty much a one stop shop for WMC needs...

Looks good! I will keep an eye out for the next release.

Is it possible to reset WMC while keeping the recording schedule, channel mapping, etc.?

Everything is working fine except if I want to update an existing series, it hangs the computer for about 5 minutes. It eventually completes the task.

Other simple things, like browsing the guide seem slow...
