For the first time a monthly system update undid' my WMC setup. I am not live yet on win10 so hav not seen firsthand what updates do to it but am assuming this is similar. Launching WMC after the update brings an initial install/config screen.

For now I restored the checkpoint and all seems...

Has the problem ever been solved?
Now DisplayPort is HDCP compliant per the spec, it is just that no one modified WMC. Is there any Hack or registry voodoo to get it done? I have no HDMI port and am stuck at this point

Last post

The solutions seem to be a USB3 to HDMI adapter or a DisplayPort to HDMI.
I will report back with what worked.

Anyone else getting a token error when trying to update their guide?
I'm getting the error on 2 different systems.

Just a quick update to note that I have had two automatic updates complete and everything has worked, per usual.

THANKS GARY! You continue to keep me in WMC functionality, at least until next year when 8.1 goes off security patches and then I'll have to sort something else out. ;)

Hi Gary,

Thanks for this tool! It works great, but when I look in the log file, I see dozens of messages about movies that I'm not interested in. The messages all appear to be in the same format.

Example: TMDb catalog search for Psycho Stripper from 2019 found 1 results.

Last post

Just for info: epg123 only checks tmdb if SD does not have movie coverart, and epg123 does not search for any Adult Only coverart from tmdb. I keep it as family friendly as I can.

Performance wise, there is a pretty big hit for large lineups on initial updates, but after that it is negligible....

Never had to do this, so it's a head scratcher.
I can add the new channel in WMC, but as soon as I update EPG, it disappears.
I see it in the left box of the client, but not in the right.

Many thanks; I have assigned the channel to the dummy and created a ticket with SD.

Sunday night, like many, I experienced an EPG123 SD failure related to SD itself. At the exact same time I was setting up a manual recording, apparently. EPG 123's/SD guide is now back, but the Scheduled Programs area is not right as when I go to a scheduled show and select Do Not Record or do much...

As of this evening all seems to be back to normal as I was able to run the functions with no freeze ups. Hope I did not waste anyone's time.

I'm currently playing around with the typecast application WMC integration component to possibly managing recording schedules remotely. The component says the Use the Guide and send information to Microsoft.. under general-->privacy settings needs to be checked. Does this setting have any impact...

Last post

Curious as to why that is needed, but to answer your question, that setting will have no impact on how epg123 works.

Above the list of recordings are different sort options. It appears that you are currently using either the date recorded or original air date sorting option. You can change this to title and it will then list each series (with the number of episodes of that series that have been recorded beside it...

NVIDIA has released a software security update display driver for GeForce GPUs to be used with Windows 7/8/10 which are no longer supported by Game Ready Drivers.

The driver supports older GPU hardware which ordinarily don't get driver updates:

I would do a system image backup and create a system restore point before installing any drivers, this way if they don't work properly with WMC, you can go back to the old ones easily (first try going back to the restore point, and if that fails, you can try installing the old drivers and if that...

I think some bad metadata was the cause of your disappearing issue. Perhaps causing the episodes to be associated with the unrelated series? Anyhow, glad to hear it is sorted now.
