This isn't a Windows 10 issue, but I don't see a better place to put it. This should be obvious, but I have explored the settings and can't find it.
Normally, when you click recorded tv and and have selected sorting by date, there is a linear list of recorded shows with the newest on the left, and...

Due to the increasing number of people experiencing issues with WMC because MSSQLLite has been removed in later builds of Windows 10, I have updated my 'One Shot' standalone WMC tool called Roll_Back_DLLs so that, in addition to the previous functions, it reinstates the missing DLLs and registry...

Embarrassingly, there was also a typo in fix_thumbnails and that didn't work properly either so you would need to download that again as well if you need it. :oops:

I have been happily using Windows Media Center with EPG123 on Windows 10 1903 for a few months, after using WMC on Windows 7 for many years. I do understand that Windows update can mess up WMC on Windows 10. However I am a fanatic about backups and could easily recover if I screwed things up (he...

Hi, is there a version released which allows you to search for a TV program?
I have Version 8.8.4 on my Win 10 system.
Looking for some help on this topic please..
Last post
Yeah, it affected 1903 and 1909 (search stopped working on all of mine for a week or so) but I just found out that it was actually back in February and there have been loads of Windows Updates since then so as long as you are up to date, it probably isn't connected to that.

Thanks for posting the resolution.
Glad you got it working.
That might explain why I've never come across the problem. It's been at least 5 years since I actually used Windows 7 and I've certainly never upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10.

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.)

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.
Might be worth trying the official Hauppauge ones if you haven't already.
