My Media Center can see the server and access the recorded tv and guide, but it wont let me control the server PC or the xbox 360 to start playback.

Ceton broke that feature over a year ago. See this thread:

This probably has to do with the My MC service running as a service account so it wouldn't have permission to those shares.

Longtime user of the WP8 app...
I just broke down and bought the Win8 app too.
So why isn't the Win8 app telling me if a show is new or a repeat like the WP8 app does?
This is a deal breaker for me. I'll request a refund and go back to the WP8 app if this isn't available.
Thanks
