might be easier to test with a protected file 1st due to the differences in the setup graphs.

No, didn't realize you had to. Figured I could just register the new ones?The Mac wrote:did you unregister the prior ones?
Remember, tho, its not just WMC that doesn't play the Live CopyOnce and Recorded Content. WMP will not play recorded CopyOnce either. No files of WMP have been modified.ajhieb wrote: I think you're being overly optimistic if you think that DRM is just confined to the codec. It is almost certainly checking the entire playback chain, including the player. The player in this case happens to be WMC, and WMC files have been modified in order to make them run on Win10.
I'll have to check on that!glugglug wrote:What is the WM-DRM pairing status reported by the CableCARD tuner? It will be in the main status page in the infiniTV web interface, I'm assuming also there for HD Homerun. Not home right now to grab the URL.

Very true, there is a specific PlayReady version for Windows 8.1, the previous one is good for Windows Vista/7 if I recall. I think as someone mentioned, it could be very well that the OS just isn't supported by the version of PlayReady WMC wants causing the chain to fail. Meaning we will NEVER get CopyOnce working.ajhieb wrote:Klownicle wrote:Remember, tho, its not just WMC that doesn't play the Live CopyOnce and Recorded Content.

I'm not ruling out the possibility that the codec is part of the problem. I'm saying it isn't the only problem.
Well, I think it just makes things more difficult but not impossible.Klownicle wrote:Very true, there is a specific PlayReady version for Windows 8.1, the previous one is good for Windows Vista/7 if I recall.

And the draw back of that is, the people who initially got this to work, are not US folk from what DavCT says.ajhieb wrote:Well, I think it just makes things more difficult but not impossible.Klownicle wrote:Very true, there is a specific PlayReady version for Windows 8.1, the previous one is good for Windows Vista/7 if I recall.

If the clever fellows that figured out how to bypass the kernel check can also circumvent the file validation then I think it could still be made to work, but figuring out which components are actually doing the validation could be tricky and if anything in the OS is involved it gets significantly more difficult since patching OS files in Win10 is going to be subject to the whims of MS and Windows Update.
If all of the patching can be done within the WMC files then I think there is a real chance of making it work.
Can't get guide data from Microsoft with those files.audinutt wrote:Didn't WMC work in win 10 tech preview? If so why aren't we using this files? Forgive me for being naive.
Exactly the same as I see in Windows 7.Klownicle wrote:WMDRM: Status Ready
