i noticed the other day that i'm not getting cover art or meta data for any of my 2011 movies that i add to my movies folder. i saw a post over at digital lifestyle that talked about something like this but that was for recorded movies and a problem with the OS looking at the wrong url. i can't...

Simple.TV is now out of Beta (thanks TGB Beta Testers!) and ready for action. With www.simple.tv, we automatically convert .WTV and .DVR-MS files into MP4 to sync to iTunes or stream to any web browser.
This is a great app for those of you who want an easy way to automatically subscribe a home...

I have been using Scendix (or Jaast) add in mce Weather for a while now. I like it better than Heatwave for the look basically, but it's kind of irritating since it keeps changing the selected language of English to any other language that is embeded with the program. I looked in the program file...

Hi,

I saw a post in the Comskip forum stating that support for Windows 7 Media Center wtv files is now in beta. I've used Comskip in SageTV for a long time and was thinking of trying Media Center with Comskip. First off, let me say that I know very little about DRM. From what I've understand,...

I see a lot about the new TMT5 & MKV support within MediaCenter.

Anyone know how this is supposed to get setup? Can you select a MKV from the Video Library and have it Play via the TMT MCE Launcher? Or, are you supposed to use MyMovies or MediaBrowser?

Too many questions! lol

Thanks

Looks like the developer of the awesome BBC iPlayer addin has decided to pick the project up again and do a lot more work on it to include 4oD and others. No word on release date yet but just a heads up for UK users that another alternative for streaming in MCE may be on the way soon.

Hi folks,

Using TMT5 with the latest patch, is anyone having issues when pausing or skipping a bluray, you loose HDMI audio?
You have to select another audio stream, then go back to make it work again.
ATI HD5750.

This issue looks like it has plagued older versions of TMT with ATI cards, but...

Just installed for my 2 PCs at home, one being my primary media center. Awesome to know if the PC goes to sleep, reboots, etc. Good remote file access and heck, even a remote command line! The rest is just nerd-out fodder and fun to show my friends. Worth the free download and mobile app (Android,...

Does anyone use this? what is the most up to date version?
I have v1.0.3867.9926 but Mikinho's site says version available to download is 1.0.3778

Have i got newer version than on his site?

So 2 things. I use my HTPC to skype a fair bit. Is there a decent free plugin that will let me see who is calling , make and accept calls within media center? I looked into it once before but I didn't meet with much success. I tried to use skype to growl and growl to media center but it didn't work...

So I was Bored..up Late ..needed a new theme as mine were getting boring looking to me..

Hi

I just wondered if anyone here is using Mirage from Autonomic Controls ?

I just downloaded a trial version of MCS 3.0 but I can't get it working properly. The media scanner is flaky and I can't get it to re-scan again, there is meant to be support for My Movies and it has added movie titles...

Hi all,

Hi,

I'm currently managing my Audio Podcasts using Zune, and my Video Podcasts using MediaBrowser. How can I listen to my Audio Podcasts (already downloaded on my PC) in Media Center? I don't want to redownload them :)

Thanks !

Hi All,

Can anybody give me advice on a good photo organizer that has a plugin for Windows 7 Media Center for doing slide shows using the photos on my disk?

I used PhotoShop Elements 6 in the past, which had exactly what I needed. But now I have problems with it crashing and I want to upgrade....

Luckily zune drm media and 7MC play nice (weird. I know.), but as i was litening to music yesterday in MediaCenter, i realized i wanted a few more songs, but i'd have to pull out the ole keyboard and mouse to fire up zune. Not desireable. Any thougts?

So.. Does anyone have the HAI home control software installed? I am having a lot of trouble trying to get this software to work on Windows Media Center 7. I can install it, and get it to work, but it will not launch under the WMC interface. It will show a blank icon, with name. It won't launch...

I have my main menu customized with Media Center Studio. After reinstalling some extenders, not all of my tiles are showing up on the extenders. They are still correct on the HTPC. Any idea how to get them to show again?

So netflix was working fine on my HTPC when I tried it out in Media Center earlier today... now it keeps telling me that it can't find an internet connection. This of course, is not true- as I am hard-wired and connecting to the internet fine.

Anyone else having trouble accessing Netflix in Media...

Hi, so nice to see the return of TGB community!

I need a little help regarding Guide Tool. I have replaced my DVB-S card with a dual tuner DVB-S2 card and have fed a twin cable from my quad LNB to the 2 inputs on the card. What I want to know now is rather than have 2 seperate channel listings of...

Just came across this at Missing Remote:
What do you want in the update?
How about Automatic Refresh Rate Change for 24fps content that automatically switchs back when you exit..? Sound exciting?
And there are MORE great features for .MKV playback as well...
Check the link for all the AWESOME...

would it be possible to have an add-in that could bring up the clock in media center via remote button at any time not just while media is playing(i.e. live tv or a video or movie)? this is the only real complaint my wife has about not have one of cox's stb.

Has anyone that uses Tubecore received the new key for the latest version? The developer said that anyone who previously purchased the software would get a new license. I'm just wondering if anyone got it because I did not. He has refused to respond for four months. It's too bad the customer...

So My movies 4 downloaded all the title info, but a few are way wrong. Where do I click to see what movie that it is even looking at (path to folder, file name or whatever it uses to find movies)?

I acknowledge that some folders and file names are just a bunch of random characters and there was no...

I am a little confused about the Folder Monitoring of My Movies 4. I set the monitor folder to //HTPC/mymovies, but it does not scan immediately. How often does it scan? Is there a way that I can force it to scan immediately?

Ultimately I want to sit down for about 15 minutes once a week and do...

First, I love this little watcher add-in. It makes media center much more useful (also with boxee watcher integration). I've only had one problem with it. When I close out of Hulu (or Boxee) and Windows Media Center starts up again, it does not start up on top of the windows task bar. I can see the...

I keep getting a message that pops up in WMC saying that folder monitoring has added 150 titles and removed 3. It is duplicating, so WMC has two of almost every movie. I notice that from my Den PC (client) that I can only actually play one of every copy. It appears that one copy is unc whereas the...

So my movie library was getting a bit daunting. Too many trilogies, series of movies, and so on. I ended up doing a big clean up this morning, and grouping all the relevant movies together. Some came together in a pack (like the Back to the Future Collection), while others I bought separately (like...

Here is my setup:
Living room: HTPC with all movies on HardDrive
Den: PC that connects to the HTPC in order to play movies. The Den PC is what I test everything on before I make changes to the HTPC.

I downloaded and installed MyMovies 4 to the den PC. I selected to install it as a client. Upon...

Just a heads up guys. Someone posted over at the Microsoft forum that on a newly set up WMC, he couldn't log into Netflix. I replicated the problem on my end as well as I had not yet set up WMC on my desktop machine. Netflix is telling the guy it's not their responsibility, it's Microsoft's. If...

I just downloaded Media Center Master. I entered the path to My Movies folder. It seems to be downloading stuff now. What else do I need to do? Do I need to run it every so often or does it start it self up and run in the back ground every time I boot up? What do the colors mean, some movies to the...

Can any one help me with this? Please excuse me if this is the wrong area but I couldn't find a programmers area...

I'm trying to write a background media center application but the timer doesn't work.

I posted this on the MSFT site too. Hopefully nobody minds the cross post?

This is a very simple plugin that lets you access YouTube leanback from within MediaCenter. It pretty much just opens youtube.com/leanback in a media center browser window.

I made this plugin because I wanted to...

So if I go with Media Browser, there is no longer any purpose for the Native Movies folder. How do I remove the native movies folder?

Here is to hoping the guy that created flixfamily.com creates a 7MC add-in cause that is exactly what I am wanting.

Here is an article about flixfamily:

One of the more interesting features of FlixFamily is sub accounts, which lets you setup different profiles for family members. You can...

I'd like to start by saying I love MyMovies and the work Brian and his team have put in on the software, especially since version 3, however I've noticed an issue and affects all of my 7MC boxes and I'm wondering if anyone has noticed it too:

It seems that if I use MyMovies to watch a film and...

Here's my problem:

I go to the Movie Guide, and I get presented with hundreds (thousands?) of movies (yeah, I know...my fault for having so many channels). Unfortunately, most of those movies I've already seen or I'm not interested in seeing. It's such a pain to scroll through hundreds of movies...

Anyone use that DAPlayer App yet for Bluray playback? Just curious what others' thoughts are.
