:o :o Hi,

I HAD- WMC running on win8 for 3 years after screwing around with trying to do it on 10 for years...

short go of it- last update for my hd homerun installed new C= software, I think.

WMC won't run, go to start up a fresh install screen even after actually finishing it and it's working...

Backup DRM keys for WMC So you can watch previously recorded programs?

Its time to roll back to a previous win 8 on marcum reflect. How do you save the DRM keys. I know you can do it, I have years ago, but that memory cache has been cleared... :D

I previously ran WMC in Win 7 64-bit with a Hauppauge HVR-2250 Tuner card and had it pretty well customized, but upgraded to Win8 Pro (now 8.1) in 2013 and obtained the Windows Media center pack. Since that time, I have not been able to get WMC to see my Tuner card - In setup it keeps saying tuner...

But I can not seem to change the scheduled task

attached is jpg screenshot.

Thanks. hopefully someone has had this issue too..

Yesterday morning I finally did the Tuesday Windows updates on my Windows 8.1 PC I use to record TV.
Last night WMC was unable to record.
Tried manually and WMC was unable to start the external HD Home Run tuners.
Right mouse clicked on a show in the Guide and selected Record .
Highlighted with a...

Yesterday when I opened WMC to watch TV, I only had the option to watch Recorded TV or to setup live TV. Not sure how that happened, but when I try set it up again, it always fails.

I am running Windows 8.1 with a Ceton InfiniTV4. During setup, I am using 00000 as my zip code. I decline the...

I have recently been trying to make my WMC headless . I use CetonProxy with Emby and generally have a great experience. The Emby app is available on a wide range of platforms and makes my Live TV and and Recordings available everywhere, from a tablet to a phone. The only catch of course is no DRM...

My worst nightmare has happened...

My computer was being very slow and unresponsive, so I tried to restart it. It spun on the restarting screen for about 20 minutes, so I force shut down the computer by holding the power button, which I have had to do many times before without issue.

When I...

I've been waiting for the 5000 series Ryzen 5700G and now that they are available. I want to upgrade Windows 7 Media Center to Windows 8.1 Media Center because I want to upgrade to 64-bit so I can allocate 2GB to the frame buffer to the APU.

Is anybody using the slightly older Ryzen 3400G or...

im new to WMC and uhhh i dont see the internet tv thing that is in screenshots of the program

I've had a heck of a time trying to figure this one out on my own, so I come to the forums. My machine wakes up to record just fine, but then never goes back to sleep. I don't think I have anything else running, but may be I'm missing something. Any ideas?

Thanks!

edit: I am aware the RDP...

It was fun getting the upgrade to work, but I may not able to afford Cable soon... :( So I am faced with hoping that Spectrum Time Warner will lower my cable bill, and lowered by like a lot, or I will need to return my Cable Card and Set Top Box and get rid of cable. Last time I tried, they did not...

I have Windows 8 Pro installed. If I purchase the media center, can it play local video and Netflix with a remote? (Without needing a trackpad/mouse?)

Also, how good is it at handling unusual video file types?

This is a weird situation which I hope someone can help me to resolve.
Set up is Windows 8.1 with WMC utilising EPG123 programme guide.
Up until about three weeks ago everything was fine and then strange things started happening.
If a programme is set to record outside 'normal' watching hours e.g....

I can't find my key anymore, does anyone know what the email was sent as or have an extra/know where to buy them still? Maybe it's not worth the struggle since there's a work around to get it on 10, but my HD Homerun was having a few issues with that and extenders on 10.

Another strange problem that I'm sure is on media center.
Spectrum channel 227 here is insp channel and when I use their box the channel comes in fine but shows no signal in WMC.
Any ideas?

Looks like M$ took it down. Where can I find it?

I have a strange problem running win 8.1 and WMC. There is ONE and only ONE channel that has audio but no video just a black screen. I have 2 separate systems running WMC and they both have lost video on that channel.
ALL other channels and WMC as a whole is working fine.
Any ideas on what to look...

I am having strange issues with two hard drives which are attached via internal sata connections.

I have attempted to add the folders to the video library several times and MCE says it's imported the files.

When I click on the folders view, it won't display any folders. However, when I click on...

Hello,
I have win 8.1 installed. I installed WMC 8.83 because I cannot find my copy of media pack. This almost works perfectly. There is one problem which I have attempted to solve but without success. I keep getting the message, Display Driver Error. The video playback device does not support...

So I had to store my HTPC for a couple of months, and now we are ready to bring it back online, however the tuners are not recognized. I really hope I don't have issues like in the beginning of the year with PlayReady, etc. Does anyone have an 8.1 WMC still working? I will use a 3 tuner CC and a 2...
