I guess I should note... if you are using WMC in Win10 for OTA, you don't need PlayReady at all. PlayReady is only for CableCARD users in the USA, and then you can only use CableCARDs on Win10 1511 or older.

OMG! This thread just resolved an issue I was having with random delayed start (0-50...

For the first 9 folks that downloaded the new msi, if you get a warning that it couldn't register a dll, just click continue. I've updated the msi to remove that message.

Thanks for the tip. However when I go to Settings>General>Windows Media Center Setup, it's not one of the choices listed. There's no mention of PlayReady. It's the WMC version 8.9.0 that I downloaded from your fantastic website. Thank you so much for all you do!

I do wish that someone could modify...

There's a good write up about this topic on Techchradar here: although its a bit old now, given that WMC is unsupported I don't expect MS will invest any time ensuring that it works on ARM.

Here's an extract:
The state of 64-bit emulation
The way Windows emulates x86 applications in software on...

The main problem is that the problem happens only with WTV files which are rebranded MPEG2 files and the source is not interlaced to start with. The box plays youtube, mpeg1, and mov files just fine. But only VLC can properly play the WTV files.

When I first got the win 11 box to come up, and did...

Update: The EPGTransfer program worked perfectly. Thanks.

I had hit the backup button in epg123 last night, but that may have been before I actually scheduled anything. The restore button fixed the epg itself, but not the schedule.

I examined the latest EPG123 backup .ZIP file and then...

There's a bunch of Media Center tasks to do with OCUR in Task Scheduler.

I am certain that both Playready and WMDRM play a role in this functionality though.

I assume you have perused the threads here:

There was a whole load of work done on this topic back in the mists of time over on MDL that...

Which WMC for Win10 did you install?

Sent from my SM-X200 using Tapatalk

Cheers, thank you for the replies. I am really looking for an all in one solution to make it easy to use for others in the house. Really is a pity there is no TV series support or plugins that seem to work anymore. The inability to just auto play the next episode without hitting 'play all' is a bit...

Unfortunately the WMC Multi Tool didn't seem to fix the issue, even after trying all of the obviously-relevant options. I decided to do a completely clean install of Win10 21H2, and the MSI package installed successfully on that and WMC starts correctly now - I've gone through the TV setup and...

I had this and found it was using the default MS graphics driver.

I installed the one from the card vendor and it fixed it.

Fix_MSSQLLite was rolled into a standalone utility named WMC Multi Tool along with all my other utilities and is hosted by StinkyImp.

It can be downloaded from here:

This change was because the original tools had to be placed in the same folder as the WMC installer, which seemed to cause a bit...

For your old PCs, do you have an interface where everything can be controlled with a remote? Do you need to use a keyboard/mouse?

On the old PC anything I need to do with WMC I can do with a remote. (including sleep/wakeup). I only drag out a keyboard/mouse and connect them if I need to do...

where is the WMC installer located?

the only times I have seen a problem with installing or uninstalling was when the installer was buried in a long path or had spaces in the path.

Your favorites are dependent on your guide data, so import the guide and see if everything comes back. The restore will only work if you have the exact same tuners as when the backup was created. If you have not setup all the tuners in the Win10 machine and/or tuners are different, then the restore...

The backup will cover everything except the EPG itself which all you need to do is import the mxf file again.

For any big updates for Win10/11, the WMC registry settings are deleted. The msi package will add most of them back in but it doesn't know what the tuners were are some WMC settings... it...
