I have WMC PC with an infinitv 6 PCIe that is fortunately working fine. I have however had a PC go on me after a recent power outage, so I started looking into building a backup WMC PC.

I did a fresh install on another PC, moved the infinitv over to the new machine and went through the setup...

Hello All,

I have developed a media center addin for remote potato. This allows you to access your guide from a remote PC. The benefit of this is you can have one central recording box and view the guide and scheduled recordings on other PC's. It's a step towards softsled.

Currently the...

Is that the official tv guide for media centre or not? Just interested, managed to get 21 channels on remote potato but no more when selected. At least it’s working

Just got the latest windows update ( KB5031356 (OS Builds 19044.3570 and 19045.3570) 10/13/2023. WMC gives me the ALL CURRENT TUNERS IN USE when I try to go to live TV or recorded TV as well. So uninstalled and reinstalled WMC v13. No change. Did this happen to anybody else?

I’ve not had any issues, no problems. I’ve got media centre recording in mpg for compatible tv streaming and epg 123 for listings.

Hi fellow WMC enthusiasts! :D

I live in Australia where EPG123 can't be of service due to the unavailability of SchedulesDirect guide data, leaving me at either the mercy of IceTV or the OTA EPG. While WMC can pull in guide information from the DVB-T signal over the air, the experience is...

Hi, got epg 123 using over the air listings but it does offer the xmltv option. Does this work in the uk and provide longer epg data?

I have a working HTPC with the internal (PCI-E) 4-channel Ceton tuner and CableCard. This HTPC has been working very well for 16 years. I have only had to replace the HDD once. I am thinking ahead to the day when the MB fails. I have another Win7 machine with WMC installed. Can I just move the...

Last post

That's unhappy news. My spare Win7 machine has WMC already installed. Am I correct in assuming that the PlayReady key isn't already installed? At what stage of the WMC setup does the PlayReady key need to be obtained?

Hey all, so I'm gonna start by mentioning that I have no interest in video or TV content in WMC, just music and playing CDs. Is there a better app? Maybe, but I like WMC.

I used garyan2's MSI installer , which would install and open, but then crawl along with my GPU louder than a fighter jet....

Last post

There must be some driver bug causing this. WMC is not taxing on the GPU. Most dedicated HTPC will use a relatively old or low-end graphics card, ideally with a passive cooler.

A would expect a modern, gaming-oriented GPU to be mostly idle when running WMC. When playing music, the load should be...

The skip functions do work when controlling WMC via a remote, but they don't show up on the WMC screen and so I can't use the mouse to...

I had to reinstall WMC 8.8.5 after updating Win11, and now the Date/Time on all of my WTV recordings is the ORIGINAL BROADCAST time/date, not when I recorded it.

This is annoying when I sort in Explorer looking for my most recently recorded episodes showing dates from 30+ years ago.

If you read my post, I explained I tried both and took the screenshot after trying (zero) .

I even highlighted the note in bold.

But yes, It appears I did somehow swap two of the chars. Oops.

For the benefit of anyone else reading, the key is fine. You do have to take care when entering it.
Whilst you can't copy/past the whole key, the safest way to avoid mistakes is to copy/paste each individual block of four characters into the corresponding input box.

I just uninstalled WMC and re-installed to correct some things. Prior to that I could be on the desktop and press the WMC button, live tv or recorded tv it would start WMC. Now that will not work. All other functions seem fine.
Any ideas?
