Hi there,

A while ago I accidentally updated my Win10 HTPC to version 1607. At the time I was running WMC for W10 v12 and everything was working well. As I've found with other PCs, if Windows 10 installs a major update, WMC breaks and it isn't easy to reinstall. I couldn't get v12 to reinstall, so...

I'm running WMC on Windows 10, with a haupauge quad tuner card. Two HD channels, 7.1 and 25.1are not found by WMC. Only the SD channels are tuned. Other HD channels are tuned without problem. The HD channels 7.1 and 25.1 are tuned by the TVs but not by the HTPC. Any ideas?
Thanks
Bill

This is the weirdest problem I've ever seen. I have WMC on x64 Windows 10 Pro (in UK), and when I record the Simpsons there's no sound. There's sound in the adverts and also when I play the file in WMP, but not with WMC playback during the episode. This only happens on HD recordings - live viewing...

My Windows 10 Test box runs Insider Fast with release 14915. The HDHOMERUN VIEW works OK but when WMC for W10 is installed everything looks OK but TV Signal Setup immediately can not find a tuner.

Hi Guys

finally got back to WMC and am happy. Years away with Mediaportal, ArgusTV and Kodi... none of which are 100% for my needs. MCE alys just worked!

Also, any idea on how to get the channel logos back...

WMC does not find my tuners after KB3192441 update. I uninstalled the update and the tuners show up but Windows 10 keeps installing it again. Is there a work around or is this the end of WMC 10?

My Ceton Infinitv 4 USB just died. Does anyone have one that still works that is willing to sell it? Or possibly a HD HomeRun Prime? Or anything else that can use a cable card? I don't have any available slots on my PC so it needs to be an external device.

Thanks!!

I seemed to get WMC hack (v12) installed on Win10 properly on 7/29 to give it a try. Believe I can still roll back to Win8.1 within 30 days if I can't get this one resolved. Everything seemed great - actually seems a little better than on Win8.1 other than this one thing.

It occurs to me that the Windows 7 version of media center is using .NET framework 2.0, which is nowadays supported well by WINE.

Hi all,

I've got WMC working perfectly on everything except recording the new mpeg4 channels, ie 7flix. I can watch and hear them perfectly live but when trying to watch a recording about 50% of the time the picture freezes but sound keeps working when I skip or rewind. This does not happen to any...

I installed WMC on an ideastick for mobile use. It won't play .wtv files, but otherwise seems to work fine.

Thanks.

Read that about a year ago, EPG got transferred to Rovi.

Currently the EPG is not updating again and I need verification that my settings are correct.

Are the following versions correct for functionality?

Hi all,

I recently installed W10 and the last version of WMC (V12 I think) which seems to work other than series recording. Has anyone else had this issue?

Has anyone managed to get 'My channel logos' (MCL XL) to work with WMC in Windows 10? It won't load for me but has set the logos in the guide. The version I have is from 2013 so I'm not sure if it's the latest version.

There is a statement on their website saying Windows 10 isn't supported but...

Hopefully this one will last a while.

Hi,

Need to upgrade to W10 by the 29th. I want to see if V12 will work for me. Will the upgrade keep my 1.4TB of recorded TV files in place? If I restore W7, will they come back there again as well?

Thanks!

My setup is WMC on a headless machine running ServerWMC, EMBY, DVBLink, My Channel Logos, Ceton My Media Center, and Guide Tool. I have 4 Hauppauge 1212 HD-PVRs for DirecTV and 2 usb ATSC tuners for OTA channels. I run KODI on various devices at each TV in the house.
