Hi,

I finally had it and blew up my WMC 8.1 system after one more stupid permissions change from a Microsoft update that I didn't want to fix.

Now I'm happy to ditch DRM content and simply use the public domain WMC version available to manage basic content from my cable provider. To do this I...

Hi all,

For some reason some h264 MKVs I download the volume control has no effect, it plays at a constant volume no matter where the slider is.

Plays fine outside of media centre, the volume works.

265s it doesnt seem to be an issue, they work fine.

Seems to be the same with Shark or KLIte...

It works fine on version 1909

windows is so many gotcha's

pls help!! :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

Windows I accidently got fooled into an update overnight from 1909 to 20H2, used to use stop updates 10, but switched to a reg hack that apparently fails to stop updates, oh well.
So WMC was dead this am.
I downloaded the latest WMC setup, thanks very much garyan2, and reinstalled it and it is...

I tried using MCE Reset Toolbox but it only allows you to add the Application to the Extras Menu Strip. Is there a better one that let's you put it where you want? Thanks

I Just Installed WMC For Windows 10, And The Media Center Themer, And I Needed To Install A WMC Theme To Make It Look Like XP Media Center Edition, But How Should I Find It? :think: When I Searched Something On YouTube, I Found It, It Has A Cool Nostalgic XP Media Center Theme For WMC, And There’s...

Hi please bare with me I’m not very technical :o

Running win10 64bit my WMC 8.8.4 stopped working yesterday wouldn’t allow me to record!
I uninstalled it.
then installed 8.8.5 now all works as it should, in my previous install I had tried with to no avail to move where my recording’s were saved...

After sticking with Win 7 on my WMC computer for many years, finally decided to upgrade it to Win 10 at the start of the year.

Everything went well, except for one problem: Once in a while (about every 3rd-5th time) when I enter WMC it seems to rebuild its database. Some of the shows are there...

Hi,

I know this is a strange request but is there a WMC package for 32 bit Windows 10 20H2?

In it's eternal sniping at WMC users, Windows 10 has disabled WMC on my PC while doing an update to Windows 10 2004. There is apparently a possible fix by restoring some DLL's but the tool is part of an install kit for what was referred to as WMC V13. Is this correct? Where do I get it? Thanks,...

This is a non-problem, more of a puzzle. I use WMC with over-the-air TV in Houston. An example of the puzzle would be just yesterday (Saturday). WMC gave a message in a rectangle on the main screen saying something like No signal detected on channel 2.1, Saturday Night Live will not be recorded...

Hi everyone,

I'm using a Silicon Dust Prime (CableCard) with a W10 1511 / Intel UHD 630 via HDMI, there's a display port also on the PC. Everything is working, but I get Display Driver Error - The video playback device does not support playback of protected content . when I first launch Live TV. I...

I have been trying to upgrade my MCE computer with 10Gbe networking. Not for MCE but a general project in my house. Having some issues with compatibility and drivers and the like. Know Windows 8.1 would be easier to work with, like or dislike the OS. Is it fair to say that using Windows 8.1, a...

An unrelated problem with Win11 forced me to do a Repair install. This fixed the problems I was having with Windows but disabled WMC (once again.)

When I try to run WMC, nothing happens. When I try to run the WMC-8.5.5 installer, it tells me WMC is already installed.

Does this mean I must...

Sorry to bother ya all

I have my MWC installed on computer, computer is using Windows 10, which has ended , now computer is suggestion I update to Windows 10, version, 1903..

Hi,

I have a Ceton InfinitTV 6 cablecard PCI-E tuner I'm trying to get recognized by WMC which I have successfully installed into Windows 10 1607 fresh upgrade from Win 8.1. I am able to watch live TV using NextPVR Application so my tuner card is functioning but WMC just fails to see it to use it....

I've been using an Avermedia AVerTV Hybrid Volar MAX tuner for 10 years without any problems. My old computer died, so I finally built a new one and upgraded to Windows 10. I installed WMC with the v8.8.5 zip file just fine (thank you!). And then I found out that my trusty old tuner is no longer...

Simple question to ask but maybe less simple to answer based on some of the reading I have done.

I have used Shark for years on my Win7 MCE box but with Win10 almost everything is playing (still havent figured out why some of it does not).

What is the recommendation here on the forum? Yay or...

(Note: The tuner works with other apps.)

I upgraded my CPU this morning (and updated my nVidia graphics card driver) and now WMC can't find my TV tuner. Searching for tuner for about a minute before reporting No tuner detected.

My tuner, a WinTV PCIe x1 card, works fine. I have it playing right...

Hello, new here. I had 8.8.4 installed, it quit working for some reason, I could not get wintv to work either, so I figured my old tv card had gone bad, put a new one in today wintv works, WMP still broke so I used the uninstall command as administrator, restarted, and downloaded 8.8.5, and ran...

I am a long-time user of WMC on WIN7 systems and decided to take the leap to see if I could get it running on one of my WIN10 systems. So I downloaded the WMC-8.8.5 zip, files extracted them onto the system and ran the files as an admin then rebooted the system. BTW, this is a clean system (i.e.,...
