Video Error in WMC 10

#1

Post by combluff » Wed Dec 09, 2015 8:35 am

Morning all

I wonder if you can help

My system is and AMD A6-6400K FM2 on a ASrock FM2A88M motherboard
I have 2 tuners a free sat TSB 6981 Dual DVB-S2 and a Hauppauge WinTV Nova T 500/Dual digital.
Last night we did a clean install of Windows 10 onto an ssd and installed WMC everything installed fine and I get live program playback.

The problem I am having is when I start to record a program I get a decoder error and if I try and play a recorded program I get a video error.

Any ideas ??

Aren't both of those errors covered in Readme.txt, or Workaround.txt?

Server 3.0.5781.5
And the latest stable release plug-in for WMC

I fixed this by changing the folder security settings and adding "Everyone" with full control to the folder !

How simple in the end :)

I guess I should have asked..... What version of the latest stable release plug-in for WMC are you using?

I am using this one (v10) http://www.thegreenbutton.tv/forums/vie ... 047#p99047

Server 3.0.5781.5 You didn't say anything about EMBY.....My answer was based on the title of your post Video Error in WMC 10

Sorry I am so confusing myself... I was having a problem with WMC , but I got Recorded T.V to work by changing the Admin rights on the Record folder very strange.

I'm not sure what version of WMC10 is installed?

Emby isn't working properly but that's another story
