Does the unofficial versions of Windows Media Center for Windows 10/11 compatible with Media Center Extenders, just in case someone upgraded their media PC to windows 10 for security reasons? I just wanna know.

As a long time WIN 8.1 WMC and EPG-123 user, I have been trying to move to Windows 10 with WMC Version: 8.9.0 on the same machine. For whatever reason, when I try to setup EPG-123 fresh on WIN 10, WMC is not detecting my HDHomerun Duo tuner. I can see live tv using the Sillicondust app on the same...

I am having a weird issue with a new WMC (msi version) install on the last release of Windows 10 (21H2) on an HP ProDesk 600 G1 Mini using a HDHomeRun tuner.

Everything went fine with the setup, finding the tuner, adding the channels etc. but when I go to watch 'Live TV' only some of the channels...

I've been working on this for about 3 months! Here's what worked for me:

I tried different versions of Windows 10 and the latest Windows 7
here's what worked for me. I had to install Windows 10 version 1511
(and block all updates)
do a search for Windows 10 version 1511

now everything works...

I played around with WMC in the early days, since i've got cable card it eventual became a no go. i've been using a custom win8. I read somewhere about a vm in 10 running WMC. i searched no luck, does it work well or do you need extenders or?

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...

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

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...
