Has anyone tried WMC on the new 24H2 build yet?

Although it installs and launches fine, when I try to scan for channels it just stops at around 8%. Whatever channels it does find, when I try to view those channels I don't get audio (but video does work).

Sound is working in Media Center -- I can...

If I view sort by date sometimes there are no schedule recording. The temporary fix I have found:

If I click on Scheduled, then Series, then click on the program, then click Series Settings, then Click on Save, Scheduled to record will now show programs.

I have 34 series, sometime have to go...

Thanks to Kévin Chalet, I just went for the 8.8.7 installation. And it works, it just works! :'D
I also got forwarded to the old windows games, that work using Windows 11.
I call that a day!

Does anyone know how to get commercial skipping to work with the new windows 11 media center? In the past I used a program called dvrmstoolbox and comskip, but on another forum it said that this no longer works in windows 10 or 11. If anyone knows of how to get this feature working, please let me...

I just made the leap from Win7 to Win11 for WMC. I'm using EPG123 for guide listings. Everything works except when I record a show, it doesn't list a season# or episode# like it used to. I thought in the past that EPG's wizard asked you if you wanted to load these values, but it didn't this...

I just retired my Windows 7 machine, and updated to a fresh new Windows 11 build. How do I set WMC as a start up app?

When I originally installed WMC on my Windows 8.1 computer there was an add in that allowed the guide to have color's. I believe you had one color for sports, another for movies etc. I do not see that capability anywhere with the latest w11 build. Does anybody know if or how to re-enable that guide...

I have been using WMC since its launch with a succession of PC'S and WMC versions; I have managed to keep it working despite numerous challanges, we never watch live TV.
My old media server has been running 24/7 for ten years and is showing signs that it will fail soon so I am working up a...

I have installed Windows Media Centre on Both My laptop and Desktop the laptop sees my HDHomeRun Quatro and all is good, my desktop however does not see any tuners at all, both are running Windows 11 and are on the same network. The HDHomeRun native app does work on the Desktop.

Hi all,

Thanks to Kévin Chalet and garyan2 (epg123) I was able to get my WMC working with YouTube TV and Pluto TV (IPTV) along with local channels (HDHomeRun). I have used WMC since Windows XP Media Center Edition and stopped using it in 2021 when my computer died. I bought 11th gen hardware in...

Hi all - I've not posted here for a very long time, but I know this is the right place to ask...

Background: I've been messing about with PVRs (do people still call them that?) since the early 2000s (anyone remember GBPVR?), and built myself a nice machine in 2008 (detailed here: ). Originally...

Hey everybody,

Media Center Studio and Media Center Themer are fantastic tools when it comes to pimping WMC but resource modding isn't actually limited to changing the default skin: it's also a great way to tweak the behavior of certain WMC features :mrgreen:

Since resource modding is out of...

I first wrote about this some 15 months ago and have been on Intel's back since Gen 11 onwards processors were released.

As of today the issue of WMC FS failing on program change is now solved - by Intel!

The problem first appeared with Intel Gen 11 CPU/GPUs, then running video driver V...

I had to reinstall WMC 8.8.5 after updating Win11, and now the Date/Time on all of my WTV recordings is the ORIGINAL BROADCAST time/date, not when I recorded it.

This is annoying when I sort in Explorer looking for my most recently recorded episodes showing dates from 30+ years ago.

I use EPG123...

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 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

On this PC FX6300 6 core CPU with GT640,

Another similar PC with phenom II x4 955 and a GT730 is instant to switch full screen and back to windowed.
Behavior was same when using an Nvidia gtx260 video card
Same memory amount. Same SSD drive.
When WMC is windowed, you can drag the size big or small...

Just thought I'd let everyone know that WMC v8.9.1 is still working great after updating to Win11 23H2, in case anyone was on the fence to update. :thumbup:

Sound when watching TV, there is no sound. Volume is all the way up
I am connected by HDMI to an HDTV
All windows 11 sound tests work. I downloads a Microsoft store game an it plays sound.
sound is set to s/pdif and there is no other selection possible in windows.
I reinstalled Nvidia driver...

I forget what exactly changed, but a couple of weeks ago, every time I launched WMC in Live TV mode, I get the message (in WMC) Tuner in use with a Cancel button that lets me go to the menu to open Live TV .

Does anyone have any idea why & how to fix? Very annoying.

TIA

I got a new mini PC, MinisForum UM780XTX with AMD 7840HS and 780M graphics. In a windowed screen everything plays great. But in full screen the image is black and the cursor flashes making WMC un-viewable. Weird thing was during EPG123 setup, I was able to perform the WMC setup in full screen...

I have just replaced an ageing Athlon Shuttle PC with a Geekom IT11. The recommended resolution matching my Sony TV was 3840x2160. WMC interface ran okay for couple of minutes then scrolling menus was very slow. The WMC config said that performance may be affected by the high resolutiin. Now it is...

I have today installed the latest version of WMC (I assume 8.8.4) on Windows 11. As the post subject the programmes displayed in Recorded TV are shown large icons, which I don’t like at all. Hopefully there is a simple way to set it back vertical list?

Hi

I have a strange problem: WMC do not detect any TV channels from room antenna.
My TV tuner is Hauppauge HVR-5525. It is connected to cable TV STB (by Composite) and to indoor antenna. In my region (I'm living in Warsaw, Poland) previously were both DVB-T and DVB-T2 standard channels available....

I've been hoping off updating my Win7 NUC, but less and less software is supported. It's probably time to update to something newer. Any support for cablecards in a Win11 install? If not, what is the latest version of Win10 that still supports cablecards?

Or should I just hold on to Win7 until my...

hi i am a huge fan of WMC, i wanted to watch live tv but it only supports cablecards , until i get my own set up i want to rely on iptv
so is there any plugin or a method i could use to get iptv working on windows media center? thank you much appreciated

Hello Windows users, I have been encountering a problem on my Windows 11 media center. Actually when I watch live TV, the green button turns black. Could anyone please help?

I know this is documented, but I can't find it now despite much effort, so my apologies. I have been using WMC for years, and that's part of the problem.
I have forgotten what I have to do to see Settings->TV->Guide->About Guide Listings, and I have lost this on my HTPC after upgrading to Windows...

Hello, when i reboot my media center work well. i can close mediaccenter and push greenbutton on media center controller everything work well. but if i wait 2-3 minutes green button work only when media center is launch.

Any ideas ?

I'm currently in the process of updating my systems from Windows 10 to 11. At the same time, I'll need to re-install WMC which was originally installed from the old 8.8.5 zip files. I'd like to migrate to the .MSI for easier upkeep. What would be the best procedure here?

From what I can tell,...

Its nice to go to ONE spot to get info with others you trust on here.

My Question was is Win11 WMC solid that you can walk away from like WMC on 7 ? Which is the best ! I am being forced out with my old machine :(

Hi guys i want my PC connected as WMC extender to my xbox 360 e
