We're running on a server OS that is nearing end of support and there is also a newer version of phpbb that we'd benefit from as well.

It means that I'll have to take a...

Trying to find a good way to play .wtv files on my win 10 machine. Found a way to do it using WMP but quality and ability of the program is lacking. It’s pixelly slow and only has slider for skipping commercials. No 30sec skip, fast fwd, rwd. (FYI for those that want to try in win 10 download dvd...

Thanks for the reply. I had read a bunch of posts about people getting WMC to work with 1909. I guess I misunderstood and took that to mean they got it working with cablecards. Thanks for the info.

I have a question about RDS function of the FM radio tuner: is this function supported in WMC radio application?

(RDS is Radio Data System, enabled to add short text info to the FM broadcast, usually the name of the station, latest news, title of the song playing etc.)

Last post

I don’t think so. At least, I’ve never seen it when I used FM radio in WMC, on the same stations that show RDS data in my car.

If you are interested in radio, I recommend the RTL-SDR USB device. Doesn’t have anything to do with Windows Media Center, but it is a fun tool. I’ve even been using it to...

Which drivers did you install?

Windows sometimes installs basic drivers that don't support BDA and because that is what WMC requires it can't see the device.
