Any of you guys and ladies know of a way to see if a recording is being made in a batch file?

Cheers and happy New Year

I am looking to do something that seems like it would be available, but can't find out how. I want to use an OTA for the local channels, and then something like a Roku with the Spectrum app for the cable channels. I would like to just hit the channel I want, then have the remote do everythign...

I just wanted to share a very happy discovery I made today. It's always annoyed me that (at least on Windows 7), the Recorded TV folder(s) are treated specially, and if you change the view of them in Windows Explorer (AKA File Explorer in Win8/10), e.g. to use the Details view, and perhaps display...

I'm using this outage as a great time to work on and reformat my aging server. Its been running in the closet with no maintenance other than blowing the dust out every few months. I've strongly been toying with moving to Plex since they started allowing TV recording. The biggest issue I need to buy...

Now I remember where I stored my passwords.

Welcoming myself back.

ps - Bill Gates sucks for killing WMC !

I just saw news that Plex can do Live TV/DVR now. Given that you can run the Plex server on Windows 10 (unlike WMC), and the Plex client runs on anything (including XBOX), could this be a replacement for those of us that use WMC with XBOX 360 extenders to our TV's?

Thoughts?

NOTE: my Win...

So my W7 HTPC has been running rock stable for at least three years. It is mainly used as the HTPC but I also have several home pcs using it as network storage so everyone has access to it on my network. We don't surf with it, but it is connected to the internet for EPG and virus updates. BUT, I...

All-

Great to be back, if only for a little bit! I abandoned 7MC a couple of years ago, and never got around to moving my legacy movie library over to a new system. My current plan is to use MiniDLNA to serve up the collection to a few Rokus. So far, I have succeeded in transcoding from VIDEO_TS...

Seems like a pretty solid solution. May ride my MC until something hardware craps out and cut the cord.

Is there any way to limit or disable the time View Song List, Visualize, Play Pictures, etc. appear in Music?
Possibly a regedit or something.
I am using this shortcut %windir%\ehome\ehshell.exe /nostartupanimation /playallmusic and would like it to start playing in full screen mode.

Thanks

New to The Green Button so don't know if this is the right forum to put this, but...
I created a desktop shortcut that opens WMC and starts playing my music collection (shuffle).
Is there a way to create a button on the WMC menu to do this?
Instead of having to go into Music, Music Library,...

Just curious if anyone has been paying attention to FCC changes and Comcast announcements about cable TV without the cable box ? Supposedly they're rolling out a Roku app in the next few weeks as sort of a beta.

I'll be curious to see how beefy and widespread they make these apps, including DVR...

The Rovi EPG cutover finally made me a believer that WMC is dead. I had all kinds of channel/missing guide data issues - got them resolved only to have the same issues reappear. The final nail in the coffin is even on guide data that exists -- it's so crappy as to be worthless. Most older series...

Hello,

I don't speak up often, but I'm a long-time WMC user. I'm homesteading on Windows 7, and everything works fine for me.

When the Microsoft Surface Pro came out several years ago, I tried it out at my local Best Buy... and I LOVED IT.

However, I was unwilling to spend that much money on a...

so I got an Apple TV to try out on the chance that Channels DVR will be a viable product. sad news that they hit a roadblock on DRM, but I'm still hoping that the dvr will become a reality.

I was surprised by how limited the functionality there was out of the box. you have to find an app for...

Any readers in the house?

It's been a lifelong dream of mine to be a professional author. Checking that off the bucket list.

Hi, I didn't see this addressed in any other forum, just figured to post it here and see if anyone had any suggestions.
I use WMC to record OTA NFL games of my team, then I use MCEBuddy to convert the .wts file to .mp4 . Then I upload it to OneDrive for my brother-in-law in New Zealand so he can...

We've been using WMC since Windows XP, and it has and still is a great whole home DVR system. But due to the combination of Microsoft's decision to remove WMC from Windows 10, the uncertainty of their support, and Comcast's plans to upgrade our cable system to H.264, we have decided to leave WMC...

So I went to open DTB UI to check some things, and I can't. installutillib.dll is missing, error 1001.

I can't uninstall it, either. Same error.

Among the tons of crud on the net, I found that a common solution to this is to reinstall .net. I had 4.5 installed, so I took the opportunity to...

All MS would have to do is build an add on box for the XBoxone that would take a couple of cablecards and a slot for a HDD, they already have playready and the guide. I would think that this could double XBox sales and put a serious hurt on TIVO.

Hi Gang!

It has been quite awhile, and I sure do miss the community here!

So, I have the need for a DVR that can support clear QAM . I'd love something OOTB, like a TiVo or Channelmaster, but I wanted to get some opinions on options. Certainly building a 7MC box is an option, but I'd like to hear...
