I just released version 8.9.1 of the WMC installer for Win8.1/10/11. This version is based on both 8.8.5 and v13 by @technodevotee to perhaps give a better experience along with a couple fixes needed that I didn't know about until earlier this month.

In my configuration, this Super Bowl will be a significant milestone in digital TV broadcasting and W10 media center recording. Tonight’s proof of concept below indicates Fios is transmitting 4K on an experimental channel and is twice the network rate for a 1080i channel.
The amazing thing is that...

Hello everyone,

I am running a fresh install of WINDOWS 10 PRO X64 with WINDOWS MCE 8.9.0 and Playready 1.3.10 (Manually installed). The problem I am having is whenever i am prompted to update PLAYREADY it says it cannot connect
to the internet. Even though I have tried to turn off the WINDOWS...

I have a widescreen monitor with pivoting stand. While in pivot/portrait mode, I opened the WMC Guide and the window resized to fit the new screen width.

Back in normal Widescreen (landscape) mode, WMC is stuck in a 4 : 3 window. Resizing by width also resizes by height so it remains stuck in 4 :...

I’ve have downloaded and installed the files from Gary’s wonderful page for my Windows 8.1 system: Windows Media Center, Digital Cable Advisor, Playready 1.3.0, and resetDRM.

When trying to view cable channels with my HDHomeRun PRIME which has a Technicolor/Cisco cable card, I was getting the...

Hey there. Was wondering if anyone has been able to get WMC to work on ARM64. It installs fine, but when you launch it, it runs and then crashes after 5-10 seconds.

here i made a new theme :

I just installed WMC for 11 and EPG123 on a new Win 11 computer (thanks GaRyan2). The installation took some time, but it seems (mostly) flawless so far.

The only issue that I am having is that live and video playback is interlaced for some reason. I took a closer look at one of the files that I...

I spent a good bit of time last night on this new win 11 box getting WMC installed with EPG123. The install went smooth (Thanks GaRyan). Then a windows update came in this morning and trashed WMC. The guide data and program scheduling was wiped clean. WMC required that I go through the setup again...

I am doing something that I guess is overly complex, trying to setup a Ceton InfiniTV 4 in a brand new Ryzen 7950x rack mount unit. Will have Windows 2022 Server installed and Hyper-V. Long story short, I have been able to get it working with a virtual of Windows 7 as a network tuner. Everything...

I've read a bunch of threads here and looked a bunch of different installers...
Some say nothing works past 15xx and others say it works just great...

I've been a WMC user since it first came out and I'm tired of using old hardware..
Is there a way to get fully functional WMC on Win 10/11 and me...

Hi iam looking for version 8.9.0 by Garyryan but can't find it can anybody help please.

The app you are trying to install isn't a verified app Pops up when I try to open WMC. I can select install anyway and it will open WMC, but its annoying. I am not installing anything, just trying to open already installed WMC. Do you know how to kill this popup?

Hi all,

I recently built a HTPC. Aorus b550i board, AMD Ryzen 4600g, 16gb ram, Windows 10 pro. Pretty capable. Movies, TV shows on a NAS source. PCIE DVB-S2 dual tuner.

I installed WMC (really great work by the way by the dev Gary on here). It is amazing but I am hitting a wall with the 'wife...

I'm trying to upgrade my existing Win8.1 Media Center to Windows 10, doing an in-place upgrade of the OS (using a 22H2 install USB created using the Media Creator Tool) and then installing Gary's WMC MSI package (8.9.0). The MSI appears to have installed successfully, but attempting to run WMC...

If I let my computer sleep while WMC is on, on wake-up about half the time the screen will be blank and remote is unresponsive. Most of the time, I can hit the windows key and kill WMC, then everything is normal.
I'm running the latest WMC build, on Windows 11 (latest probably). (my PC is older and...

I installed Windows Media Center on my new Windows 11 machine. It seemed to go well, but when I try and start it I get the following error:

Hey all, first post here!

On my PC, I have a Ceton InfiniTV4 PCI tuner. I have used this in the past with a cable card and it worked great with WMC when I lived in my apartment. Recorded TV and everything. When it came time to upgrade my Windows 7 to 10, I stopped using it since WMC disappeared...

It's been literally a couple of years since I have had to install WMC but I had a Windows snafu and installed a backup which did not have WMC installed. I think I installed version 8.8.4 (could be 8.4.5?). So I am getting two issues as mentioned in the title:

1. All Tuners currently in use -...

I thought I had seen a thread that at least touched on this but can't seem to find it now.

If I just want to duplicate my WMC setup from my win7 PC to a win10 PC (channels, mappings, recordings, favorites, etc) can I just restore an epg123 backup from 1 to the other? If so, how far should I take...

As the subject says, DVD Player not working in Windows 11 22H2, just crashes?
