I added a folder with MKV and MP4 files as a video library, but the thumbnails are black, with the exception of two MP4 files. I have the latest version of K-Lite installed for Windows Vista and Icaros 2.3.0 installed separately, and the thumbnail offset is set to 25% I’ve tried clearing the...

i like to present you my new WMC 2004 theme : screen3.PNG screen3.PNG

I have setup a Windows Vista machine with WMC. Everything seems to be working, but only one problem. When I record OTA channels, they are all choppy. Can't really even watch them they are so bad.

Is there anything I can do to fix this?

I was running W10 with Media center, and didn't have this...

Not sure if anyone here would know the answer, but when you run BladeRunnerPro, it encrypts the Guide.bin file. You end up with a HASH and EncryptionKey to extract it. My question is, if I wanted to manually encrypt a file the same way, how would you go about it? Is there an encryption utility to...

Hello. I am trying to look for a program Called BladeRunnerPro 3.0. I know the latest version was 3.5, but I am wanting version 3.0. Does anyone happen to know where I can find this program?

Just wondering if anyone is still using (and if it's fully working) a XP based Windows Media Center machine ?

I have about 3-4 licenses sitting around and I was thinking about putting together a old PC with some analog tuners and a Wi-Fi setup for a gift for someone (to see if they like a DVR). If...

I have had to completely reinstall my PC (after multiple hardware failure) with XP MCE plus SP2.
I can play all my old TV recordings, but ffwd and rwd don't work, neither the on-screen buttons or the remote control buttons. They do activate the time-line, so the message is getting through, but not...

I have a HP M7070N media center machine that is running with XP MCE 2005. I recently replaced the original analog tuner card with a Hauppauge Wintv Hvr 1150 tuner card so I can receive over the air ATSC signals. To make a long story short, the install appeared to go well. The hardware appears in...

Hi all,

Using XP and Xbox 360.

A few weeks ago I noticed some channels not loading listings but wasn't bothered as they were rarely watched. Now the whole guide is empty and the terms say it's expired.

Does anyone know anything about this? When it might be back?

Thanks.

Windows XP Media Center 2205.
If you try to download the latest guide and fail, inside C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Microsoft\eHome\
there are files ending in .sdf and .xml. The new guide new info seems to be in those files. If you open them in notepad or wordpad you get garbage but if you...

Like many others I was looking for a way to recover from loss of EPG. I had planned to go to W7 but when others reported success with TVPack 2008 I decided to try that route.
The install was fairly uneventful only requiring the TV Pack 2008 and PlayreadyPC runtime - the two KB updates were flagged...

Yesterday I tired to download epg after seeing a post that suggested it was back again. It didn't find an epg so i decided to set up guide etc again to see if that helped. After an abnormally long time trying to download guide information I cancelled the process.
Since the n I have been unable to...

I gave up on trying to get my Vista WMC to get guide listings and switched to NextPVR.
What I need now is to disable the Media Center from being activated by my remote.
I don't want to fully disable either my remote or Media Center just make Media Center not react to the remote.
Any one have an...

I am using an XP MCE 2005 next to a Windows 8.1 with MC. I have my good reasons to keep using my old XP MCE.
Since September 4th the EPG on my XP is not updated, while the EPG on 8.1 is. I did not find out why. I am aware of the problems related to the provider transition in the States, my location...

I have an old computer with XP WMC that I use as a DVR.

Since XP isn't supported anymore, will it be possible to get the guide changed from zap2it to rovi?

If it won't work, what versions of windows 7 have WMC included?

It appears that some of the troubleshooting steps for Win 7 do not work, or are impossible to perform in Vista SP2. The only suggestion, that I have read is to upgrade Vista with TV Pack (2008 I believe). Some users say this wont work. Others say it worked for them

What is your slant on the...

I recently upgraded a Vista media center PC to win 7. I could not get the guide to work in Vista despite all the suggestions here on this board. Unfortunately, I didn't realize the copy of windows 7 OEM that I purchased is not upgradable from a previous version of windows and that only the retail...

Is the fix for missing EPG by Roki as simple as editing a call file for the new source? What does this file do? (See the file copied below). Can I fix' it?
///C:/ProgramData/Microsoft/eHome/EPG/prefs/prefs.xml

I don't have enough programming knowledge to know if this is the problem or how to...

I am currently using bladerunnerpro on xpmce with little issues.(it was also designed for use in vista)

originally developed back in 2005 for use in Australia and other countries where native EPG didn't work

still available here:

under tvxb's page there is instructions as well about...

With the new version of windows out and the disappearance of Media Center. Just wondering if anyone has tried the WinTV v8 from Hauppauge. Using one of their TV tuner cards???? If so does it work.
