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

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.,...

Hi Guys
I fresh installed Windows 10 (latest version) and installed the WMC 8.8.5 and attempted to get Live TV working using the instructions in the text file which was GunnerHook's tutorial

I was able to scan and find all the channels, however when i click live tv or select any channel, it shows...

WMC 8.8.5
Windows 10 with latest update (not sure which yet)

Windows media center will not load for some reason. EPG123 also, will not load. They try to, but never actually come up. All other programs are working fine.

So I assume I need to reinstall WMC but when I hit the Uninstall.cmd in the...

Hi all, newbie here trying to get WMC Live TV working in Win10. I have a Hauppaugge WinTV-HVR 950Q tuner & WMC runs but when trying to setup channels, it never comes up with analog tuner. I need to have channel 3 setup so I can get signal from comcast cable. Since it only shows digital tuner, I...

Hi, been on my current PVR with Windows Media Center & EPG123 for around 9 years now and I have a few questions:
1. My current one is on its way out - how well does WMC work on 10?
2. Any precautions I need to take with it on 10? i.e. disable updates or add something to boot on startup?
3. Will I...

Ugh, so bummed out with my new build.

Finally upgraded my absolutely ancient HTPC build to a gen3 I7, 24g ram and a 7750 GPU. My MUCH older system still worked mostly, but was starting to have issues and would have needed to reimage anyway. The old build was an Athlon II and an 8600GTS and one of...

I set up my EPG123 this time last year and it was working fine, but I I let it expire. This year I was issued a new password and was told that I would need it in order to receive the current downloads. Do I need to follow the steps outlined at eg123.garyan2.net? If so, where do I apply the...

Apologies if this has been asked before, I searched but didn't find an answer, likely bad wording, google-fu, etc... :mrgreen: .

But what is the difference between these two versions? Are these forks of the same leak/release or competing projects?

I have a valid product key for W10.
Can someone post a link for Windows 10 Build 1511?

Hello, happy new year!

I want to record a documentation series from TV (DVBS2) with the WMC. That documentation series has a total of some hundred parts and a TV station started to send them in the night, several parts per night. I want to take them all, storage is not the problem, but if I want...

Been using the French WMC V8.8.2 on my 2 K TV for a few years. Just bought a new 4K 3840 x 2160 Samsung TV and hooked up my PC to it via the same HDMI I used before. WMC come up OK and I can change settings and stuf but when I start Live TV or a Recorded show, it runs with garbled sound and jerked...

Replacing my WMC/8.1/octopus PC with a lean W10/W11 i5 laptop with SSD and hdmi out.

I want to store recordings on a network drive on my QNAP NAS, but WMC only lets you select physical/local drives.

QNAP NAS forum suggests setting up a iSCSI map, which is a hassle but might work. Any there from...

I don't know why, but my ability to record stopped working.

Everything was fine as recently as last night. Then suddenly this morning, my scheduled recording didn't record. When I click the record button, nothing happens (other than the usual sound you get when you click the Record button.

Hello all,
I apologize if this topic has been brought up, but I'm trying to find out if there's a way to convert a WTV file in WMC Windows 10, to a DVR-MS file?
The right-click option which worked in Windows 7 is not working in Windows 10.... (I get an error saying the ...content is not compatible...

Been a fan of MCE ever since the first 2005, but unfortunately my 8.1 system with Digital Devices Duoflex/DVB-C/CI and DVBLink 4.5 has passed away (as well as the local Dutch green button forum). Time for an upgrade, Win11 is now commercially available as well as slim PCs that fit behind the TV or...

Sorry of this has already been covered somewhere but, I couldn’t find anything from searching.
As you all no doubt know the autostart function is not working with WMC in Win 10 out of the gate. Does anyone know of a way or work around to get WMC to start up automatically with Win 10?

Thanks

I have a pretty large music library, all in flac. I use WMP Tag Plus so that WMP/WMC will properly read the flac tags. Each file has an embedded 600x600 album art as well as a folder.jpg in each folder at 600x600. I'm currently using Windows 11 but later versions of Windows 10 caused the same...
