Need help in how to completely remove any instance of WMC from computer in order to install a fresh copy of WMC. Just doing the uninstall in the program doesn't appear to do so.

I'm stuck - upgraded my machine to win10 (64-bit) and installed WMC fine. But when I tried to go and scan using my existing USB tuner (KaiserBaas) it gave me the BSOD. Apparently no updated win10 64-bit drivers and no longer manufactured or support.

So I need a new USB tuner (or two if not dual)....

So, when I was using WMC W7 I was able to tune all DVB-T stations but when I moved on to W10 8.8.5 and reinstalled I have three channels missing. The option in Settings > TV > Settings > Guide > Add Missing Channel is missing so I cannot manually add. I have tried everything else, rescanning...

Hello there:

I have a Xbox 360 Media Remote and I want to use it for WMC on Windows 10, the bad thing is that there is literally no documentation on how to do this anywhere :problem:, I wonder if you guys can help. :D

Hello there.

Is there a recently found solution for WMC Extenders on Windows 10? I've been looking with no luck at all, I have an Xbox 360 S that I had since 2016 and I want to connect WMC to it to watch TV and Recorded TV. I hope someone can help me :D

Back in 2015 I built a HTPC and started with Windows 10. I had nothing but issues getting Windows Media Center to work. I was using a CableCARD + HD HomeRun Prime at the time, so perhaps that was part of the issue. Constant forced updates would break Windows Media Center, the guide would stop...

Hi guys,

Successfully running WMC for some time now, and tonight it wont start. I have the icon pined to my taskbar. Windows updated very recently, maybe overnight... Went looking for it on the PC and its not listed in the files. Tried to install 8.8.5 using InstallerBLUE.cmd This is what I am...

Hi, not sure what I've done... WMC was running fine on Windows 10... I did some housekeeping on my music files and now 'My Music' shows no files / albums... just an error message 'There are no items in this library yet - Windows Media Centre is searching for media files in the background. To add...

Hi forum, I have tried everything, Kody, Plex, Media Portal, Embry and god know what else but for me Windows media Center is still the best, simple interface, practical and clean . I am running 8.8.5 on Windows 10 and no issues, have customized with MCE Toolbox and have even got the old Netflix WMC...

Has anyone tried remote potato with WMC on Windows 10?
If so.. any links or setup instructions would be appreciated.

Full-screen freezing started a few days ago, with no major changes to an 1809 build, other than a .net update from late last month (uninstalled that). Tried the copy ehome out and copy back with disabled acceleration, updated video drivers, downgraded video drivers, tried a few different windows...

When I point my cursor to the epg123 icon in the tray after the scheduled update, I see the message importing ... waiting for recordings to end ... except the recordings haven't started yet. Is there a cure for this? Thanks.

Using epg123 1.6.1.3 with Windows 10 20H2 build 19042.746, WMC 8.8.5

i recently refreshed my win10 install and now when i try to install the WMC pack it says it is already installed, however the 'C:\Windows\ehome' directory is no longer there and has been moved to 'C:\Windows.old\ehome' copying the files back and running the uninstaller does not work either, what...

Hello - I recently upgraded to Windows 10 and installed WMC 8.8.5 in the hopes that it would detect my HDHomeRun PRIME tuners, as these are supposed to work 'out of the box' with WMC 8.8.5, but unfortunately WMC is saying it cannot detect any tuners in my system, despite the fact that they work...

So I'm using Windows 10 Media Center on build 10586.0, which is the last build I know of that supported DRM for the SiliconDust prime 3. Did I miss anything about supporting DRM past build 10586?

Title pretty much says it all - has anyone ever seen or accomplish custom keyboard shortcuts?
Thanks in advance.

Hey Everyone! Longtime lurker first time poster.

I have had this issue for years, but I recently updated to a Windows 10 Machine, WMC 8.8.5, and a WinTV Quad Tuner and hoped it would go away, but it didn't.

Whenever a scheduled recording takes place, it switches my liveTV to that channel even...

Hi,

thankS!

It's always bothered me that video output on WMC looks somewhat blurry and lacking in dynamics.

Well, for some reason, WMC does not display the rightmost column of pixels (even with display type TV, overscan off, TV set to 1:1 fit) AND no matter the video decoder (MF, LAV, ffdshow...)

Just about...

I recently upgtaded to Win10 (and WMC on that) from Win7. Never had this problem on Win7:

HTPC is connected to TV via HDMI. So audio output goes out to TV.
When I switched off the TV last night going to bed, the audio out defaulted to PC speaker. Since we don't switch off WMC overnight (as some...

Hi

This seems to be the bane of a number of users. I keep finding posts asking how they do this, only to find follow-on answers which are bizarrely vague and more often than not entirely unhelpful.

If someone could simply put a definitive guide for how this can be done, as of this post's date,...

Evening, all,

I'm at my wits end here - I've tried the registry hack (logical width dropped by a pixel) but the white line at the right hand side of the screen persists; I thought I had seen someone posting about permissions that had to be set for it to stick as well? Can't find it now though....

Hello, I have installed WMC 8.8.4 on Win 10 1903. I have a twin DVBs card and it is setup to work with WMC. It does record TV fine from epg. But for live TV the card is always busy, even if there is currently no recording. It looks like the recording service always takes the TV card and never ends....
