I have WMC10 v12 on two different computers now and the sound setup doesn't seem to work on either, it goes straight to the 'troubleshooter' screen and doesn't let me choose any configuration no matter what I do. My 5.1 speakers running discrete output work 100% in windows and other media players,...

Hi,

I'll apologize right up front as I'm probably totally overlooking this, but can someone provide a link for a safe download of the latest version of WMC to install on 64-bit Windows 10 machines? I've tried various searches on this site and I see a lot of references for downloading WMC v12, but...

i can understand why Microsoft stopped Media Center in Windows 10. With a few tweaks in tablet mode, Win10 tile arrangement basically does the same thing as a client gui and it looked great on my TV. Its basically its own MC. Would have been nice to break up all the features in Media Center and...

Forced myself to try WMC-10, again, having failed to get WMC up several months ago. This time it seems willing to use the InfiniTV-4 PCIe tuners - though it required more work than expected.

BUT, there's a sound issue:
* When I tried watching a current program (Jeopardy, FWIW), the sound was...

Help! Something quite odd has happened, and I can't seem to fix it.

A brief history:

I recently upgraded to Windows 10, cautiously, to see if I could setup a DVR system. I dabbled with NextPVR/Kodi, but was not satisfied by how buggy it all was. I then tried to install WMC via a year old guide on...

I had no problem installing WMC on win10, but I can not get a tv guide to download.

Is the only option to record TV in Windows 10, with the use of a reliable program guide, to install the latest known version of Media Center and perform the few workarounds to get it to work?

Hi and thanks for your reply in advance. I loved WMC for four things. Netflix, TV, DVD playback, and Music management all in one package. It sounds like this version works with music and dvd playback, but that said, before I try to install WMC i am wondering does the Netflix plugin work with this...

I've tried installing Version 12 of Windows 10 Media Center but the command prompt window says an error has occurred.

I've attached a screenshot of the installation command prompt.

If anyone knows how to fix this problem, please let me know.

I can upload the logs if needed.

Thanks

I started toying around with a second copy of windows 7 on my PC and upgraded it to 10 a couple of months back. Last night I had nothing recording on the main windows 7 boot and decided to try out the WMC windows 10 hack on the other boot and got it to work no problems, besides the guide being way...

Hi, I recently installed WMC on windows 10 and all works fine except recorded TV.
My integrated card has the highest definition of 3840×2160, when I was using windows 7 I had the same resolution but the media center running at 1080p because of recorded TV.
When I try this on 10 media center keeps...

Any thoughts as to why I cannot record a particular channel? This is a sports channel BEINSports. My guide shows the guide data. I can record pay channels such as HBO or PPV. Looking at the Series settings for a show on this channel it shows no upcoming episodes. I can go into the guide and find...

I have had WMC working with Windows 10 for about four months with no problems. About a week ago I started having a problem with the Scheduled Recordings screen. After clicking on Scheduled Recording, the screen comes up and the word loading appears as usual. Sometimes the scheduled recordings will...

I recently asked a question about failure to obtain a channel (or Group of Channels) in WMC but did not get a reply. Could I please try again with a more basic question in the hope that someone more technically savvy than me can give me a clue? I have done a lot of further reading about WMC and am...

I just installed WMC from WMC_6.3.9600.16384_x64_v12.7z
I get this error opening app

How can I solve this problem please? Thanks

This morning my desktop ran Win8.1 & WMC w/o problems. After verifying WMC installed on my laptop and played TV files, I loaded Win10 expecting no problems because others seemed to have installed WMC successfully. No such luck for me.

System:
AMD 1055T + 16GB + AMD video card.
Win10 (just updated)...

Hey all,

Always like to keep the WMC subject new and fresh if I can. I was trying to see an ADVANAGE of building a Windows 10 HTPC over Windows 7 using WMC. Althoughif you use the DESKTOP for things, there is an avanatge of using Windows 10 but, ONLY WMC, there is very little advanage if anything...

I've been using WMC for a few years now with my HDHomeRun Prime on Win 7 or Win 8.1 computers, but I finally decided to see if I could get it to work on my Win 10 machine. I've (finally) got WMC working great on Win 10, and can see all of my channels perfectly. However, when I try to add an...

I made the switch to J River. The J River server is on a Win7 machine. In J River there is an option to disable WMC which I have done. On the J River Server machine (Win7), the Green Button works to launch J River.

I have several J River Clients that are all Win10. The SAME Green Button with the...

WMC is happily working for me in Windows 10 except - and a search shows it is a common problem - for 1 station (happens to be SBS in Adelaide, Australia). TV signal scan brings up all stations including this and epg is populated correctly. However, if one tries to watch (or record) any of the...

Greetings,

After postponing my upgrade to Win10 for months, due to the missing WMC... I finally had to bite the bullet last week.

Turns out, Visio 2013 & 2016 really suck under Win7. I get all sorts of garbage when I have multiple windows open. And that's true at work as well. So last week, I...

Hello, new to the forum. I read all of the great info here and actually got WMC up and running on Windows 10 thanks to you guys, but when I try to watch live network television, I get no video, only audio. I have to believe this has something to do with the LAV filter settings, but I have tried the...

I have been working off and on creating a Windows 10 Inspired theme for the Windows Media Center Themer tool/utility.

What I have created for myself is a refreshed theme based off of the popular Modern8Theme created a few years ago.

I have not had the time (or patience) to reproduce all the Tiles...

I am trying to configure my PC to launch applications when I press the windows button on my remote. The remote is a certified Microsoft MCE remote from a Dell m2010. I am trying to edit keyboard.xml files but I cannot even get the PC to see me press the button. I'm running windows ten on a stock...

Hello all,

I've installed the ported version of WMC for Windows 10 and it works great! My current tuner is the Ceton InfiniTV 4 USB and Ceton didn't make drivers for it. I've installed the beta drivers for Windows 8 and their site says that it doesn't work for the InfiniTV 4 USB. The driver...

I have a good working Win 10 Media Center on my spectre x360 but it has no Lan port only wireless.
I can watch all the videos on my server running WMC (except DRM of course) and all is well.
I have 2 hdprimes so I was wondering if there's any way to get WMC to...

Appears this was a common issue in previous windows versions. Minimizing/Maximizing fixes it. Anyone have this issue and find a fix for windows 10?

I have been running Windows 10 with Media Centre for a while on PCs with DVBT cards and it has been working fine - even picking up OTA listings during the recent outage.

However, my Living Room PC has Windows 7 with two DVBS-2 cards and because it wasn't getting usable listings, I wanted to try...

Hello all!

After some research I found that WMC is the only good media center software bar none. So I got it working in 10 after a couple of tries and have the TV tuner working with it too which is freaking awesome! Really wish I had used this sooner!

Having said that, I do have a few questions...

I just got an update on my MakeUseOf app on my android phone titled 5 Lost Features You Can Resurrect in Windows 10, here's the link:

I have not looked into this any further but I just wanted to get this out there as a possible fix for this problem.

Hi Guys,
I looked at Change.org and there is a petition, Bring and Update Windows Media Center to Windows 10
I signed. I'm surprised it doesn't have more signatures.... why not sign?

Is it possible to enable DVD Gallery in Windows 10 Media Center ?

I recently upgraded a machine to the fall update build 1511 (OS Build 10586.29). Not sure if tbh there is anyway to block this from happening eventually anyways so I gave it a go.
OS: Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit

Right away I noticed the removal of windows media center however I am not quite sure it was...

I decided to try this out on my main PC before upgrading my HTPC. I haven't been able to get through the setup app though since it keeps failing at downloading new TV data setup. Anyone know how to address?

Is there a permanent workaround to the error message that appears when attempting to view premium channels or on some occasions non premium channels where the message states that Critical windows media files that are required for playback have been replaced.?

Thanks!

Morning all

Hello folks,
Just upgraded to Win10 and installed the WindowsMediaCenter_10.0.10134.0. Then I installed HDHomeRun drivers. The quick view didn't work initially (only audio) so I also installed Windows8 codec pack. Quick view now works, windows media player is also capable of streaming live...

I'm really chomping at the bit to get onto Windows 10. I've already accepted that I need to keep my Win 7 machine for WMC. If I were to get a new computer running Win10, is there a way to stream live TV from my Win7 machine to my Win10 machine? This may be a very generic question, but I am newbie...

I have officially said a fond farewell to WMC ! :(
I will be on the lookout for Microsoft to add it back in to a future edition of Windows as a selling point..(fingers crossed)
After upgrading I ran into 2 immediate problems...the first was that IExplorer that carried over from my windows 7...

In our environment, we have a central WMC server that drives a whole home DVR environment. The WMC has 2 SD (3 tuner) and 1 Ceton (4 tuner) CableCard boxes plus 5 Xbox 360 extenders to drive TVs throughout the house.

I'm having a little bit of an issue. I lack the technical expertise of a lot of you out there, but I'm trying to get WMC to work in Win10 following the tips on this forum. I've been using WMC since Vista came out and don't want to give it up until I absolutely have to. I have a Hauppauge 2255 card...

If I upgrade my Windows 7 Media Center to Windows 10, will I still be able to play back PROTECTED CONTENT shows that were previously recorded? When I say upgrade, I mean upgrade from within the Windows 7 install using the free Windows 10 thing, not a clean install.

My Windows install is years old,...

Hi, was really excited to find I could install media center on w10.
My problem is that I schedule TV shows to record but when my PC goes into sleep mode it won't wake.
I have kept my main PC hooked up to my TV on w7 because of this.
Has anyone else had this problem as I have tried it on 2 other...

Has anyone installed Windows 10 and tried using Windows MediaCenter? Anyone with a Ceton Infinity Tuner? Any success stories?

A long while back, I of course did the reserve a copy of Win10 thing, because why not, right?
At the beginning of August, I started having a new issue out of the blue, in which my display would go blank after a few seconds of playing anything in WMC. The sound would still be there, but no video,...
