I just released version 8.9.1 of the WMC installer for Win8.1/10/11. This version is based on both 8.8.5 and v13 by @technodevotee to perhaps give a better experience along with a couple fixes needed that I didn't know about until earlier this month.

Last post

I think this is a scenario that the installer doesn't adapt to very well. See this thread.

I'm able to P2V my working protected content/CableCard physical desktop into an ESXi virtual machine.
But of course, the process upsets PlayReady which now wants to do an update .
And the PlayReady servers aren't listening any longer. So, it's not possible to update PlayReady.

Does anyone know of...

VM's are finally working as well. But I haven't yet figured out HOW to make them work.
I just accidentally got one to work somehow, last night.
I'll see if I can figure out how to reproduce working results.
Because it's not working with a regular VM.

In past years I have been able to create one series so WMC records all my baseball team's games no matter the day and time. I created a keyword search for Brewers at with category of Sports/Baseball, Show type of Live, and to record only on the channel that the games play on. Worked great...

Windows Search being disabled would be the problem. You need to re-enable it and determine why it was disabled in the first place.

I am surprised no one has done this earlier, but I have created an MSI installation package for WMC 8.8.5. This package has a lot of benefits that we don't get from the zip package we have been using for quite a while. I have it working without issue on Win10 and Win11 for ATSC. You can download it...

Fair. That link directly to the installation file was before I created the webpage.

So I have always held-back on upgrading from W7 to W10 because I still use WMC. However once I realised @garyan2 had created a W10 WMC & that MS were still offering a free W7->W10 upgrade, I thought I would take the plunge. All seemed to go well, until the TV Setup & whereas usually I would get...

Last post

Alternatively- would EPG123 (originally installed in W7 but then c/fwd in upgrade) interfere with TV Setup in W10?

Just checked a recorded show in VLC and it has sound, so problem is with output, not input. Is this a HDHomerun problem? Any help much appreciated.

Not sure where to post this, but cannot program Media Center unless I know what is available to watch.

We get the regular TV Guide but it’s limited in coverage compared to TV Weekly. However TV Weekly keeps increasing their price. I know there are online guides & you can configure & print a custom...

I've been running the same version of EPG for some time now and had no issues. But recently I've been seeing certain channels have no guide data available then I noticed these odd messages in the last log. Do I just need to update EPG and it'll start working as expected again? The odd messages to...

I'll try it again, I don't need to download anything right since this was an update on their end?

ModernMedia UI+ is a new application released as part of Windows 10 Media Center Community . It provides a modified and modernized theme across the Media Center user interface with brand new built-in features, enhanced program data and much more. All of the details about the app are available here...

Maybe make it more transparent if it can't be removed or made smaller?

With Media Center Themer it is possible to customise most UI elements, including making things 100% transparent. I'm not sure how well MCT works alongside ModernMedia UI+ though.
