    Open up your windows file explorer and navigate to your network and make sure you can see your HDHR. If not a prompt will show up at the top of your explorer window stating network discovery and ask if its is a trusted. Say yes and re run setup within WMC.

    What codecs are you using as a primary codec with WMC? Download MCDU to check and make sure Microsoft DTV-DVD Video Decoder and Audio are default.

    I posted that link and I do not have that issue. Granted I tested on VGA and DVI and work perfectly. I have not tested with HDMI.

    I have a Windows 10 Home in Spanish and when I open and Close the Media Center application it gives me an informational error -Funcion Incorrecta- (incorrect function) but the media center works. Has any body experience this problem? Sorry if an answer is already posted around this but with 200+ post I may have missed it. Thank you for your help.

    Did the test part at the installation beginning work as expected (two commands prompt opened in sequence, and the second stay opened) ?

    What happens if you launch WMC as administrator?

    yes the test command worked. and the two trays were opened. the install file also worked and completed. when i run WMC both normal or as admin nothing happens. used the shortcut or the main eshell on the folder. also the one on the app section. they all do the same thing.

    Is your windows 10 an upgrade from a "real" win 7/8/8.1 wmc ? :g:

    If so, open the scheduled task and launch the wmc recovery task, then wait a minute, then try to launch the wmc again

    I am new here and must say I had already been struggling very hard with WMC on 8.1 x86 version before I found this thread. I was too late to use anytimeupgrade and now it's closed. So I have no alternative than to try loading as you are doing here. You are way ahead of my own efforts, so I gratefully use your installer. But when I checked the links through post #1. I found v8 for x64 but only v3 for x86. Even though there is already v6 for x86 later on.

    Which version is the most recent one for x86 win 8.1 32-bit, please? And does the msmpeg2vdec.dll work ?

    Second question. Can WMP (in addition to WMC) in 8.1 also play DVD just like in Win7 ?
    Thanks again for all your hard work !

    Maybe the problem with drm is the files are no longer digitally signed, maybe we should track down the CAT files that sign the unpatched files and sign the patched files with a personal CAT (I could help with the latter)

    Make sure that you extract the compressed install directory to the C: drive. Doesn't want to install from the window of your extraction software or any other drive partition. At least that's been my experience.

    All has been fine for me except that before(8.1pro mce) I was able to get 18 channels but now, no matter what build it was(on v8 now), I can only get 11 when searching for channels. I only do the clear quam ones from fios as I mainly just use it to watch the news and a few shows. I really like ncis and I can't get channel 3 now.. It's frustrating.

    Anyone else have this issue? Any ideas?

    I see others have asked the question and there's been no response so I'm guessing nothing has been done yet but has there been ANY work done on trying to get Extenders working with this hack?

    Please someone in the know enlighten us!!
