Sorry if the answer was posted before, but I cannot find it in the thread. I installed the latest download over the current Win 10 build and everything works besides Guide Search. Seach for TV shows to record gives no results even though the Guide has those shows. Any ideas on how to fix it?
mmm... checked my W10 pro (1511) and the OCUR one isn't there I wonder why... Whatever, I had a success in my purpose, now I have WMC working on server w/o any need of essentials role and its media package. I think it's good also for serv 2016
Maybe reading the included instructions or reading at least the latest 3/4 pages of the thread could help. I think you are the third or fourth user who ask the same question in the latest two days
Exact same problem here. The Green Button to launch WMC doesn't work. I checked the ehshell.exe and there is no hotkey mapped to Win+Alt+Enter which is the normal keyboard combo. I also use a Harmony remote and eHome IR receiver. I played with EventGhost, but it is way over kill. Isn't the Green Button keyboard combo just a registry setting?
Honestly just double click the big green button on your remote and it should launch. Windows 8 did this as well. I think Rick said this earlier and I can concur.
on all of my windows 10 machines with MCE installed the green botton works, as does Win ALT Enter, mine were all upgrades from 8.1 Pro with MCE, I wonder if that's the difference.
Yep, looks like this did the trick. Had to take the long route using the script in workarounds.txt, but my shows seem to be recording now. Thanks all for the help. I'll wait a few days before pestering everybody about getting my Xbox 360 extender to complete the final "connect" step.
I DID NOT have to reinstall the SD software/drivers-- all in all a pleasant surprise that WMC is working properly given that WIN 10 was basically re-installed with version 1511
For live system, %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log is the one to check for the exact errors details you need second system, Windows 10, or Windows 7/8.1 with ADK 10 installed
Hello, I'm having some problems installing this on a x86 system. I've tried both the WMC dism and the v3 installers. When I run the _TestRights.cmd, it works as expected, but when I run Installer.cmd, it opens up another cmd window, which shows a host pid: <the process number>, then ends up closing immediately. Edit: never mind; moving the files to a simpler path (C:\WMC) worked. So, just in case anyone else runs into this issue, try that.
that's been a common problem and the best resolution, I'm surprised it's not in the workarounds.txt, if not it should be added.
Feedback on 10586 Enterprise x64 onlineinstall: 1. The language package is sensitive to System language. If mismatched, failed. (Language files would not work for me. So I needed to extract my own language package to make it work.) 2. Then the packages seemingly working fine, but actually NOT applying files at all. But it does configure settings correctly. (The above mentioned are working properly on Wondows 8.1.) 3. The DVD player app would not install for wrong Local System previleges. To sum it up, I managed it this way: 1. Modify/save Install.bat from WindowsMediaCenter_6.3.9600.16384_x64_v8. Then run Installer.cmd.

So we would need wmc LP packages for all languages that will take huge time to download all langs isos (or svf patches)
Yes, lots of time. Unless you figure out a workaround. But 9600.17053.141120-0031_x86-64fre_Client_MULTI_IRM_CL1-2_DV5.iso will do as well. (To be frank, I had tried the other days to get them for you. But quitted the next day for the whole-day-long installation of 37 language packs.)

I do have a Windows 8.1 Enterprise x86+x64 with all 37 MUI integrated which i had created for my ToolKit. Which packages do you want to be extracted for WMC ??
It is about wmc langguage pack from my experiments feedback. But now I found it worked with only en-US. But I still wonder why the cab would not extract files?
