Advent’s “Media Center Studio” Replacement?
Well A Long Time Ago, Advent Created A New Server, And Website. it Was Named “AdventMediaCenter”. In Late 2009, The New “Media Center Studio” Application Was Formed. At Least You Know, This App Has An Ability To Create Custom WMC Themes With Great New Tools To Help You Look Personal. After That In Early 2012, Avdent’s Capless Water Bottle Spilled All Of Avdent’s Server, Making It Shut Down All Of The Data And Websites, Making It Unusable, And Unrecoverable. Avdent Cried, And Shut Down Media Center Studio Forever. And I Can’t Believe That I Just Can’t Create Custom WMC Themes At All, And There Was No Replacement For Media Center Studio At All. I Look Very Sad, I Can’t Find A Replacement For Media Center Studio , Can You Find A Replacement For Media Center Studio For Me, Please?

Wow! I haven't used or even thought of this in years. Emby takes good care of this with limited work on my part.

I agree that there are more "modern" solutions that work just fine BUT... there are still die-hards (like me) that will cling to this sinking ship until the bitter end.

There is a newer version designed for win 8 and 10 on the mdl forums. I think I cross posted about it on these forums so a search might help

Looks Very Great, But I Only Have 1 Problem... When I Click On "New", "Start Menu", Etc. It Will Crash Immediately, Also The Other Buttons Are Still Intact. Is There A Way To Fix It?

I've always had issues with MCS on Windows 10 - even with the newer version - So I use MCE Reset Toolbox which is similar but with more options. I only use it for changing start menu strips and names etc and not the theming and epg stuff (i use MEdia Center Themer, epg123 and MyChannelLogos for these) but im sure they would work fine.
The software seems to be essentially a paid upgraded version of MCS with some more features.. Nobody has been able to contact the developers to ever get a licence in the last few years - however just go into C:\Program Files\ACSDigital\MCE 7 Reset Toolbox\ and delete trial.dll and voila. (each time you open up the programme you get 'an unexpected error...' just hit cancel and you're in.
https://mce-reset-toolbox.software.info ... /download/ is where you can find the installer.
