WMC 8.8.5 MSI Installation Package for Win10/11

[prsa01]

Anything that can run Kodi can run server WMC. Not quite like an extender but let's you do anything you can do on the local WMC system (setup/watch recordings, etc).

To me?
What is server WMC? (I tried searching exactly that, no good hits....)
Is there an exact name?
I have an i5- machine, and Rokus everywhere - either would be great to be able to do schedules from.
THX!

ServerWMC

[tshephard]

OK, I looked at that...

As I read it, ServerWMC goes on the same working machine (as WMC10, with tuner access, EPG, etc.) and allows non-M$ clients on other machines to alter schedules. So, I would need Plex, Kodi, etc. (all set up and such) with (nominally) correct plugins to talk back to the ServerWMC on the working machine.
Appreciate the follow-up, but another eco-system (WAF) is not gonna' cut it. We can just walk to the room with the work machine - just didn't want to!

How 'bout...

The second machine runs full set up WMC (I can do EPG share, etc.), schedule there and, and on exit a bat file runs and merges the 2 schedules on the work machine?

Thanks guys!

Sounds like maybe you need RemotePotato?
Thread Here:viewtopic.php?t=12102 I don't use it myself and it's fairly old but AFAIK it still works although not sure about on Win 10.

Another option is to use recordingbroker to synchronise the schedules.

There's also Ceton My Media Center, but is challenging to maintain the client for iOS, and may be difficult to get the client for Android.

Is there a setting I need to change to get more than 2 tuners?
I just installed a 3rd tuner, re-ran setup and a message said only 2 were allowed.
2 tuners are the same, Hauppage PCI-e (it found 1), 3rd tuner is USB stick (it found this one also).
I was running 2 USB tuners, I removed 1, and added 2 PCI-e tuners.

I do have Tuner Salad on a backup disk somewhere, but never used it. Any problems with this and Win 10?

Thanks!

I might have an issue with one of the PCI tuners. Only one shows up in device manager (They are both the same model), not sure if they should both be there.
taking one out and rebooting to see what happens.

[DrBri99]

It looks like one of the PCI tuners isn't recognized. Re-Installed the other USB tuner and WMC found 3 tuners (although it said no signal was found on one...but this one worked yesterday).

3 tuners now installed, signal scan shows all three tuners are tuning channels.

Hopefully I'm finally done with setting up my new system, until ATSC 3.0 USB tuners come out?

[DrBri99]

Spoke too soon, any reason the guide is showing blank listings?
I ran the guide update .bat files again after setup, and log shows no errors.

[garyan2]

When you run TV Setup, it removes all your current channels and creates new ones that don't have any guide listings mapped to them. Apparently you do not have automatch enabled, so open the client and click the Match by: [# Number] button.

What .bat file?

[DrBri99]

Ok, I just fiqured out the channels weren't mapped anymore.
.bat file runs the guide update.
