Hi please bare with me I’m not very technical :o

Running win10 64bit my WMC 8.8.4 stopped working yesterday wouldn’t allow me to record!
I uninstalled it.
then installed 8.8.5 now all works as it should, in my previous install I had tried with to no avail to move where my recording’s were saved...

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...

Hi everyone,

I'm using a Silicon Dust Prime (CableCard) with a W10 1511 / Intel UHD 630 via HDMI, there's a display port also on the PC. Everything is working, but I get Display Driver Error - The video playback device does not support playback of protected content . when I first launch Live TV. I...

I have been trying to upgrade my MCE computer with 10Gbe networking. Not for MCE but a general project in my house. Having some issues with compatibility and drivers and the like. Know Windows 8.1 would be easier to work with, like or dislike the OS. Is it fair to say that using Windows 8.1, a...

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

I am not that good at computers like you guys are so please bear with my poor education.

I have my MWC installed on computer, computer is using Windows 10, which has ended , now computer is suggestion I update to Windows 10, version, 1903..

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...

I recently updated my living room HTPC from Windows 7 to Windows 10 (fresh install). Everything went pretty well, except that now I get intermittent, but frequent and sometimes persistent, garbled sound on OTA content.

I've searched online several times, and haven't been able to find a solution,...

(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?
