Hi all,

I thought I'd post just to say that AT&T seem to be blocking the emails being sent out by the forum software at the moment.

I've emailed them asking to be unblocked.

This means that anybody trying to sign up for a new account will not receive their activation email.

Please email me as per the post above (please include your chosen username!) and I'll...

I have WMC 8.8.3 installed in Win10 V1904 (prerelease).

Everything seems to work well, including live TV and recording from a USB tuner. I have two computers with it installed and both work well for TV.
On my PC, I started using MUSIC by adding a directory with a small number of album folders to...

I found out the issue is only with windows 10 version 1809. I was able to resolve by reverting to 1803 then reinstalling WMC 8.8.2, and that worked fine (except for the cablecard tuners not being detected, but I'm not aware of any fix for that).

Did you get this resolved? I noticed you're using v1809 => does anyone have WMC working with this release?
