I recently installed WMC using the recent V8.8.3 installer. At first glance things seem OK, but I didn't get much beyond TV, and live TV or previously recorded .WTV files will not display. WMC crashes when trying to display either. The tuner seems to be OK otherwise; signal strength is OK and a...

My Windows 7 died so I moved to a Windows 10 PC and installed the new WMC. Everything works great except when I try to search for a program on the guide it tells me that it can't find it. Yesterday it said the index might not be organized yet. The guide has 12 days on it and when I search for...

Hi Friends,

How can I install WMC in Win 10. Is there any detailed guide on doing the same? Please do let me know.

Maybe those smarter than me can put this to use to keep us limping along for a bit.

Any one having an issue where the computer wont start after installing WMC? The thing is, when I install it, I don't see any issues, it even launches from the accessories folder ( It never shows up in the startup as anew app, though). I've done this twice so far, and both times, the laptop wont...

I have a Win7 VM running WMC on my Win10 PC. Is there an extender I can install on Win10 to connect to my Win7 VM running WMC?

Hello All,

I've built a Win7 VM using VMWare workstation 12 player. WMC is up and running for live tv. My problem is when I go full screen with WMC it just goes to a black screen. No sound, no video. I have to alt-tab and take it out of full screen mode to get video/audio back. Any ideas?

Silicondust just announced a streaming package that is only compatible with their OTA tuners. If I'm not mistaken the big hold up in WMC 10 is cable card discovery but OTA works fine. I asked the direct question in that thread so i guess we will see.

Hi,

Sorry to bring back an old topic, but, if I recall, Crash2009 had a way to find cablecard tuners in 1607 using DVBLink or something like that? The problem is that it won't work with DRM channels (which is fine by me as I can use HboGO for that). Can someone point me in the direction to see...

has anyone tried this or is it not possible. I haven't setup remote potato in a while but I think it lets you view live TV from one WMC to the next. If so, it might be the easiest way to get cablecard back into WMC. I know at a bare minimum, you will need silverlight, and WMC on the ten machine.

I am running Emby plugin in WMC which is where we view our media library. I have the latest advanced...

I just thought I would report that for fun today I followed the instructions to install WMC on my one W10 machine I have. It's and old Panasonic CF-74 Toughbook that I use as a spare for work.

Installed, ran DCA Override (W10 doesn't have the official driver for this old laptop), installed Prime...

using windows 10 pro x64
launching WMC in full screen results in 1-2 sec black screen

card is amd hd6450 which is legacy not supporting the new direct x, so that could be why, is there a solution?

it may be because of dual monitor setup that briefly loses sync

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.

The problem is, whenever...

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.
Anyone know if it has equivalents of the various Windows NT services needed? Or if OCUR drivers are user mode, since the tuner basically appears like a network device?...

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...

Hi all,

I used to be a big fan of MCL xl.
The logo part still works in W10
Expanding guide rows does not work anymore.

Hack W7MC used to have a expand EPG rows patch. (to bad the site died)
Does anyone here have any experience with this patch?
If it used to work, it most likely will still work in...

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

Media player plays them fine.

I am current on Windows updates (done before the WMC install), but I don't plan to use tuners, so I think I'm OK.

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?
1) Is this version functioning for Win 10? Windows Media Center version 10.0. 10134 .0
2)...

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?
Cheers

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

I am hoping somone can help.

Being a long term user of WMC I am not prepared to give it up after finaly upgrading to Windows 10 (didn't want to miss the free upgrade)

Just wondering how successful it has been for people who have used v12 from mydigitallife. I want to switch over to Windows 10 before it is no longer free to upgrade this summer but I'm a bit hesitant to make the move.

I know with earlier versions there were issues with getting drm protected...

I'm getting a new Alienware Alpha to replace my Bootcamp'd Mac Mini which I use as my media center.

I've downloaded 2 or 3 early editions of the the Windows 10 Media Center, but could never get it to install properly in Virtual Machine.

So my question is this- Does it work now? Is...

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.

I have the WindowsMediaCenter_10.0.10134.0v2.1 version of MCE for Win 10 Pro
The remote works okay when MCE is started, but won't start MCE if I press the Green Button (or any other button) from the Windows desktop.

Any ideas?

Has anyone tried installing WMC10 on W2012 R2? I currently have a WMC box and a server running 24/7 and would love to combine them to save power

Hi I'm wanting to install WMC on Windows 10 32bit, is it possible? It's so I can use my Win 10 tablet to play TV recorded on my Win 7 desktop, keeping the same interface and remote. Thanks

Does anyone know how to get the ehome IR Receiver to work in Windows 10?

I decided to take the plunge and upgraded to Win 10 64-bit Pro yesterday. I did the upgrade from Win 7 Ultimate 64. Then I did a Windows reset (in-place reformat). Installed Nvidia drivers and then WMC v12. Installed DCA 64 and PlayReady 64. Worked like a charm (had to retun Ceton tuners to...

I am currently using Media Center on my W10 Desktop as per the popular hack. I am a long time WMC user but never used a cable card.

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.

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.

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...

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:

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.

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.

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...

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

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

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!
