I think it's just matter of configuring it externally from the shark007 configuration. P.S. Bear in mind that the Shark installer, "as is" when downloaded, is packed with crapware, so if you want to use it safely, w/o having to deal with the tricky initial questions, just use 7zip to unpack the downloaded installer. In the unpacked folder you will find the real shark007.exe installer which is safe.
Yes I think that the DISM package makes sense mainly for offline integration. For online usage the "old" style installer is just perfect.
yep, setting it do sdpif/toslink in the shark codec pack allowed my 5.1 audio to work, you can't use the mce settings part of media center, it just doesn't work
I need the 32-bit version. Used the most recent installer here, v3. I used the patches below for the 32 bit. I think these should be OK same as for the 64 bit. Everything works fine with LAV but still have the decoder error with the original. Was something else changed for the 64 bit to fix the decoder error ?

Hi all. I finally got my AVR to work on 5.1 through HDMI, watching Live TV HD channels (French HD DVB-T : video H.264 / audio E-AC3) I had to manage that in two steps: - step one : replace windows/system32/msmpeg2adec.dll of W10 by the one from W8.1 (following Graznok advise). Otherwise, this caused crash of media centre, while trying to play E-AC3 over HDMI. - step two : install last version of Shark007 advanced codec pack (v557) and just tick 'suggested settings', then on audio tab, choose audio bistreaming --> (HDMI only) Great thanks to all members who advised sounds real passthrough (volume only modified by AVR, not by WMC volume) some feedback on my configuration, for reference Win10 pro64 v1511 Nvidia GTX660, HDMI output to Yamaha YSP-400, then Panasonic PlasmaTV TV tuner DVB-T Hauppauge Nova Stick windows audio set to exclusive mode / 2-channels
In order to keep W10 file in system and W8.1 file in Media Center, I started to work on the following registry keys Code: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{ABCDEF01-1234-0001-0001-000000000001}] @="Microsoft DTV-DVD Audio Decoder" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{ABCDEF01-1234-0001-0001-000000000001}\InprocServer32] @="msmpeg2adec.dll" "ThreadingModel"="Both" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{083863F1-70DE-11D0-BD40-00A0C911CE86}\Instance\{ABCDEF01-1234-0001-0001-000000000001}] "CLSID"="{ABCDEF01-1234-0001-0001-000000000001}" "FilterData"=hex:02,00,00,00,ff,ff,5f,00,02,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,30,70,69,33,\ 00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,1a,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,30,74,79,33,00,\ 00,00,00,20,02,00,00,30,02,00,00,31,74,79,33,00,00,00,00,20,02,00,00,40,02,\ 00,00,32,74,79,33,00,00,00,00,20,02,00,00,50,02,00,00,33,74,79,33,00,00,00,\ 00,20,02,00,00,60,02,00,00,34,74,79,33,00,00,00,00,70,02,00,00,30,02,00,00,\ 35,74,79,33,00,00,00,00,70,02,00,00,40,02,00,00,36,74,79,33,00,00,00,00,70,\ 02,00,00,50,02,00,00,37,74,79,33,00,00,00,00,70,02,00,00,60,02,00,00,38,74,\ 79,33,00,00,00,00,80,02,00,00,90,02,00,00,39,74,79,33,00,00,00,00,80,02,00,\ 00,a0,02,00,00,3a,74,79,33,00,00,00,00,80,02,00,00,b0,02,00,00,3b,74,79,33,\ 00,00,00,00,80,02,00,00,40,02,00,00,3c,74,79,33,00,00,00,00,80,02,00,00,50,\ 02,00,00,3d,74,79,33,00,00,00,00,80,02,00,00,c0,02,00,00,3e,74,79,33,00,00,\ 00,00,d0,02,00,00,a0,02,00,00,3f,74,79,33,00,00,00,00,d0,02,00,00,40,02,00,\ 00,40,74,79,33,00,00,00,00,d0,02,00,00,30,02,00,00,41,74,79,33,00,00,00,00,\ d0,02,00,00,e0,02,00,00,42,74,79,33,00,00,00,00,80,02,00,00,30,02,00,00,43,\ 74,79,33,00,00,00,00,80,02,00,00,f0,02,00,00,44,74,79,33,00,00,00,00,80,02,\ 00,00,e0,02,00,00,45,74,79,33,00,00,00,00,d0,02,00,00,00,03,00,00,46,74,79,\ 33,00,00,00,00,d0,02,00,00,10,03,00,00,47,74,79,33,00,00,00,00,80,02,00,00,\ 20,03,00,00,48,74,79,33,00,00,00,00,80,02,00,00,00,03,00,00,49,74,79,33,00,\ 00,00,00,80,02,00,00,10,03,00,00,31,70,69,33,08,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,04,00,\ 00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,30,74,79,33,00,00,00,00,80,02,00,00,30,03,00,\ 00,31,74,79,33,00,00,00,00,80,02,00,00,40,03,00,00,32,74,79,33,00,00,00,00,\ 80,02,00,00,50,03,00,00,33,74,79,33,00,00,00,00,80,02,00,00,60,03,00,00,6a,\ 91,0b,ed,4d,04,d1,11,aa,78,00,c0,4f,c3,1d,60,2c,80,6d,e0,46,db,cf,11,b4,d1,\ 00,80,5f,6c,bb,ea,2b,80,6d,e0,46,db,cf,11,b4,d1,00,80,5f,6c,bb,ea,32,80,6d,\ e0,46,db,cf,11,b4,d1,00,80,5f,6c,bb,ea,33,80,6d,e0,46,db,cf,11,b4,d1,00,80,\ 5f,6c,bb,ea,20,80,6d,e0,46,db,cf,11,b4,d1,00,80,5f,6c,bb,ea,61,75,64,73,00,\ 00,10,00,80,00,00,aa,00,38,9b,71,81,eb,36,e4,4f,52,ce,11,9f,53,00,20,af,0b,\ a7,70,87,eb,36,e4,4f,52,ce,11,9f,53,00,20,af,0b,a7,70,50,00,00,00,00,00,10,\ 00,80,00,00,aa,00,38,9b,71,01,20,00,00,00,00,10,00,80,00,00,aa,00,38,9b,71,\ 83,eb,36,e4,4f,52,ce,11,9f,53,00,20,af,0b,a7,70,af,87,fb,a7,02,2d,fb,42,a4,\ d4,05,cd,93,84,3b,dd,00,20,00,00,00,00,10,00,80,00,00,aa,00,38,9b,71,00,16,\ 00,00,00,00,10,00,80,00,00,aa,00,38,9b,71,02,16,00,00,00,00,10,00,80,00,00,\ aa,00,38,9b,71,ff,00,00,00,00,00,10,00,80,00,00,aa,00,38,9b,71,92,00,00,00,\ 00,00,10,00,80,00,00,aa,00,38,9b,71,08,00,00,00,00,00,10,00,80,00,00,aa,00,\ 38,9b,71,03,00,00,00,00,00,10,00,80,00,00,aa,00,38,9b,71,01,00,00,00,00,00,\ 10,00,80,00,00,aa,00,38,9b,71 "FriendlyName"="Microsoft DTV-DVD Audio Decoder" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{083863F1-70DE-11D0-BD40-00A0C911CE86}\Instance\{ABCDEF01-1234-0001-0001-000000000001}\Capabilities] "{374ac4df-7c98-4257-b13d-36087dbee458}"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Decoder] "PreferredMPEG2AudioDecoderCLSID"="{ABCDEF01-1234-0001-0001-000000000001}" {ABCDEF01-1234-0001-0001-000000000001} is a specially-crafted GUID.

I've been using the WMC on Windows 10 since the Version 2 came out over 100 pages ago on this thread. I'd like to know what the current version number is and where to find it. Additionally, I'd like to know if anyone has been able to successfully configure a second Windows 10 machine with the WMC patch as an extender to the main DVR PC. Also, the HTPC that I want to build is a NUC with a M.2 drive and a 2TB SSD, with drive letters C: and D:, respectively. Will this patch allow me to record shows to Drive D:\ ? This is not a setup I had while still on Windows 7, so I'm unsure if it was ever designed to work like that. From what I remember, I tried saving my shows to a network drive attached to my router, but had no luck. I'm no longer interested in that approach, as I stated that Ill be building a NUC soon.
WMC wants a real drive not a a mapped one. You can use drive bender to map a SMB share as real drive, or Ftpuse to map a ftp folder.
Hi, has someone tried to port the Windows Media Center from Windows 7? Unfortunately I've got a lot of problems with the Media Center since Windows 8, so I'm more interested in a Windows 7 port.
That is the Holy Grail isn't it? As of yet, no, there is no way to emulate an extender. Back in the Vista days it appeared that Microsoft was actually working on one (code named SoftSlead), but they scrapped it. One of the most promising developments is that an Xbox 360 emulator is gaining some traction. In theory, if that gets off the ground, someone could extract the extender code from the 360 and get it working in the emulator (indirect, but sounds like it should work). That itself could make it easier to then create a true SoftSlead that runs natively on any OS (purely speculation and entirely dependent on people who actually care, which is a shrinking pool).
Well it depends on what you mean for emulate. A real emulation is another Holy Grail and I think that the RDP patch would be an important piece of that. If you mean accessing the WMC live TV from a client different from WMC itself, that is a problem already solved thanks to DVBLink and/or ServerWMC. Solved at least for us outside the US.
The relevant files are already patched because the WHS-2011 port (see the server section on this forum), the install procedure itself wasn't attempted at all but I think isn't impossible.
I never used extender device so I don't know what it really is. My aim was to reproduce extender network communication in order to study how it connect to WMC host.
We are on the same boat, I never used an extender as well. But as fair as I can understand it is just a specialized RDP application that manages the video in intelligent way, rendering it on the client instead of doing it on server side. Doing so will lead to less data transferred and smooth video. There are other functions that comes as bonus of that approach, like pausing the video on one machine and restarting it on another. That's what I know. The technical details are hard to figure w/o having a real extender.
This was the ONLY way thank you for posting just wish I found this post 10 hrs earlier. Thank You. Windows Version 1511 Build 10586.3
just noticed a Windows 10 update today... kb3106246 This article describes an update for Windows 10 and Windows 10 version 1511. This update fixes functional and usability problems that you may experience when you use the Windows DVD Player in Windows 10 or Windows 10 version 1511. -- problem is I can't install the update, it always fails, I wonder if its related to permissions being messed with to install Media center.
