Is it possible to change the location of the seek bar? I'm referring to the bar that pops up during playback at the bottom of the screen whenever you fast forward, rewind, pause, etc.

At it's current location, it is right over the scores of football games. So if I'm fast-forwarding through a...

I have a blank line (bar) in one listing in the guide, both in all channels and favorite listing. I can't get rid of it. There's no associated channel to edit, not in the guide or epg client. There's no blank listing anywhere that I can see.

Any help appreciated.

I haven't needed to do anything with WMC besides the usual update guide once a year. Wanted to clean up the Recorded Schedule list and when I try to open Recorded on WMC the PC freezes and needs a Hard Reboot every time. Any thoughts on how to get WMC fully functional again ?

I have three WMC PC's using HD Homerun Primes, EPG123 v1.7.1.12. I'm getting tired of manually syncing lineups, favorites, recordings among all three.

I see backing up the database includes lineup, recordings and subscriptions. What about favorite lineups?

So, what's the correct procedure to do...

Last night I recorded Game 3 of the World Series on the Fox broadcast network. I knew beforehand that I wouldn't be able to watch the game live uninterrupted, so the previous night I'd set it to record, with an extra 1-hour recording period at the end to cover the possibility of extra innings. (Got...

I have Win 7 with WMC. I'm using zap2xml with EPG Collector to get guide data. I have an ADS Instant HDTV PCI card plus a dual tuner SiliconDust HDHomeRun box on the network.

A while ago there wasn't channels 8.5, 15.11, 15.12, 15.13 but now they exist and my HDHomeRun picks them up. However, WMC...

I've been running a Windows 7 box with WMC and two Silicon Dust tuners for the last seven years. Unfortunately, the boot drive in me Win 7 box died, so I had to reinstall Win 7 on a new drive. Now when I bring up WMC and try to do a setup, it cannot find the tuners nor the connection to the...

I've been running Media Center for years but it crashed a few weeks ago. I had to use a Win 7 repair disk to get it up again. That worked but the video was stuttering, very noticeable on live sports. Microsoft loaded a driver for my NVIDIA GeForce GT 730 but that has the stuttering issues. I went...

We've had a more-or-less stable WMC7 system for over twelve years now, but in the last week or so, a somewhat annoying issue has emerged.

Some background: The PC is on 24/7, but the TV set is turned off (with the remote) when nobody is watching it. When the TV is off, we'll leave WMC open but...

I've been running windows 7 WMC for the last 13 years (2 different units latest is a 6700k) and this is a new one on me and I can't figure it out.

Tried a system restore and have had no luck, but 2 of my extenders are working fine, the other 3 I have to try (echo/x280n) Start fine, enter WMC...

On August 10 2023 the first station integrated NEXTGENTV and it has caused some havoc with Windows Media Center on Windows 7 platform using a Quad Tuner.
This is what has happened and I don't know if its an issue SchedulesDirect can resolve or its an EPG123 issue or a combination of both.
To bring...

I’ve been running beyond TV with windows media center for years. Now it seems to have lost the video input. I can still see that it shows my Hauppauge WinTV PVR PCI II capture card and the external tuner in the audio and video sources. But no Video Input is selectable. Nothing has changed in the...

Finally got everything working great and then I killed it!

My CableCARD is suddenly displaying None for Card Validation . I called Spectrum and they re-sent the corrective and validation signals. But it didn't help.

This happened after I plugged the CableCARD into an HDHomeRun Prime that had...

If enough folks are interested, I'll write up how I got WMC7 working as a virtual machine with HDMI video & audio output for DRM protected content.
This means you're watching live TV (such as HBO, ESPN, etc) via the HDMI output, not RDP or any other remote connection (which is not possible). So...

I see people can use WMC on 11 my question is more of a Hybrid or just give it up.
I have Win7 WMC working with 2 HDhomerun primes with 3 tuners ea total of 6 of them using EPG123 recording 24/7 with MCEbuddy scanning each removing commercials and formatting them to Mp4 for less space and placing...

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone knows a location where PlayReady might store a backup file of its database for recordings. I had recorded a bunch of movies back when we had a free preview of HBO (May '22, believe it or not) and was hoping to watch them. All of them say that they are copy...

Yes, my machine is apparently still a 32 bit system. Error is Cannot Expand pf64 constant on this version of Windows . This was working a year (or so) ago. When I started back up, there was some error that I thought would be fixed with an update, but now I get this, and other errors when I try to...

In windows 7 media center, when you hover over an option, like Music, it shows a picture containing album art, for the options that have this, do they have real media, and where does it come from? Its 12:30am and i'm awake just to find this out. I'm tired.

I am considering a switch of TV providers from cable to Verizon FiOS and would like to retain the ability to play back old protected content even if I swap out these components.

Dos the hardware signature that WMC uses to authorize recording playback include any tie-in to the cable card and/or the...
