Win 8.1 will have mainstream support until 2018, and extended support until 2023, so... It really depends on the standard are you using and your living place. Here in europe the problem is almost inexistent. WMC is able to get the EIT EPG, which are aired by the TV providers by itself (although only during it's active and tuned), DVBlink can use and refresh them in background aside other sources like XMLTV and the MS listings. EPG Collector can collect and inject the EIT data either in WMC itself or as helper for DVBlink, it can also get the data from one or more XML, merge them with the EIT data, and inject them back on WMC or dvblink. MC2XML can grab the MS listings ready to be used by Mediaportal, Kodi, WMC trough EPG Collector and so on (afaik it doesn't work anymore in the US). XMLTV can grab the data directly from from a website meant to be human readable, and extrapolate the data in a standard XML (the support varies depending the nation and the volunteers who keeps it updated, following the change to the websites used to get the data. Those are just the ones I've tested and/or used personally, but I'm sure the options (and their combinations) are way more than the ones I mentioned.
Hallo, help me please with the installation, constantly appearing multiple errors, I tried everything I could, it has not brought results. How can it be denied access if I am an administrator? Thank you! Code: Copy files... Error: 5 Access is denied. Install assemblies... Create services... [SC] CreateService FAILED 2: The system cannot find the file specified.

The message looks clear, isn't a permission problem Did you use a long path? (we discussed that just few messages earlier) This is clear as well, the services are already in place. Whatever you did you should see them in task manager and service.msc
First of all, you guys are awesome. Thanks for the solution that you have gotten so far. Win10 x64 working with 4 tuners, Channel programming info. All great. I would like to help to get the XBOX360 Extender working. I have two in my house and really missing it. I have done low level programming in the past, use Wireshark pretty well, and have been using WMC for a long time now. Any ideas on where I could start to help everyone on that? Thanks!
Install one Xbox in win10 and see where you end up. I tried the Ceton Echo a few times, got hung on Mcx2Prov. I think it was unable to create an account. I documented most of my attempts in the link in My Signature.
Given the accounts are migrated during an upgrade, would be interesting to see what happens upgrading a W7 WMC (properly configured) to win10. Hopefully the users should be migrated as the WMC config.
No I dont use a long path. At the same Windows on another computer everything works perfectly. But not here.
Yes, I saw that you were trying that. By the way, thanks to the links in your signature -- they helped me know about the latest and greatest. You say to install Xbox in win10: what do you mean by that? To let you know where I am, I have installed v11, along with the workarounds.txt stuff for the EPG, and so everything is working besides the extender. I tried installing the extender and it said that it could not do it, which is what I imagine everyone else is seeing. This is an install from scratch of windows 10, but I do have a full backup of my working win8.1, including the mcx accounts. So, you are thinking it is having trouble creating those accounts? How come? Is it just the fact that they are not there?
Seeing "The specified service already exists.", I would simply run Uninstaller.cmd as an administrator, reboot, and then run Installer.cmd as an administrator again. Not simply logged in on an account that is part of the Administrators group, but also right click on the cmd files and select "Run as administrator". Make sure to use the latest v11 installer that you only see if you are logged in (I can't post a link, but look at Crash2009's signature for link), not the 2.1 installer that is floating around in many blog posts. It's what I did.
I tried to install the Ceton Echo Software in Win10. The first error was my .Net 2.0 , 3.0 and 3.5 was needed. I eliminated that error by installing NET 2, 3, and 3.5 from Win10 Windows Features. This might not be a fact. I may have got the "only works on 7 error twice" The second error was the extender software only works on Win7. This is where I am presently stuck. I need to know how to bypass the "check OS" in the Ceton extender software OR trick Win10 into reporting it is win7 . Not sure if either idea will allow me to proceed. I might try T-S's idea to upgrade from an extender configured Win 7, I think I read somewhere that this works on the XBOX, however there is no display (User Interface) on the extender. For example, the guide is there, you can navigate the channels, but you cant see what channel you have selected. You cant see what you have selected until it starts playing. Getting the User Accounts in there is a start, but I think there is more to it.
I am in the process of trying T-S's suggestion now. Fully configured Win7 WMC with one Ceton Echo tested and working, included in the config. I just went past the "save the files or not" part, I chose save everything. Win10 reports you lose WMC. So we will see how it goes. T-S was correct about the User Account being saved during the upgrade. Win10 asked me to login to my asus account just prior to the last boot. Installing v11, Oh goody, I get the DVD Player. Looks like the HDHR is installed all ready. I guess WMC is next Run Setup Again... Custom... TV Setup.....Here is something New to me..... Applying Previous TVSettings... Analyzing, Importing, Downloading. Hung on apply Previous TVSettings.....Back out Run TVSetup This don't feel right. I think HDHR drivers need to be Repaired. Yeah, HDHR had to open the Firewall. Installed LAV 067 Not working correctly. Gonna boot. There we go, now its normal. Got the tuner, signal, and guide done. got the cablecard. Setup Display done Setup Speakers....didn't show test like normal Setup Libraries... I am only doing RecordedTV for now. I left it at default c:\users\asus\recordedtv Special Note.....Mcx1-T7500 is in the Asus User Account. Try a live drm channel.....Display Driver Error Non DRM plays for 2 seconds.....Display Driver Error Try a different channel....Non DRM plays for 2 seconds.....Display Driver Error Another Boot, Try HomerunView.....VideoCard Does not support OpenGL shaders Run DCA..... FAILED Need new Video drivers or "where is my bypass" No luck with bypass Dell autodetect.....No Driver for Quadro..... Try Win7 64....No Nvidia for some Java Win10 don't like my video card Windows Update SEARCH One more try...Device manager...right click Basic Display Adapter...Update driver.....Search entire contents of C: BINGO! Nvidia Quadro FX 3450/4000 SDI FOUND! I got Lucky. I am back in business. Continued tomorrow...
WMC says Configuration Error Event Viewer says Media Center Extender Found. I'll leave the Event Viewer Open for the night. What do you need to see? Status Update: non DRM Live TV and sound is working DRM channels I get sound for 10 seconds with no video, then Display Driver error. Echo 192.168.1.38 is connected to M4A78PRO Echo 192.168.1.131 is connected to T7500 The Configuration page for 131 is available Now what?
hi You must first uninstall WMC and reboot. Clean with CCleaner or other. update its codecs , as administrator then installed right after Install WIKI
I have just installed Windows 10 and WMC thanks to this thread. I have 2 problems with WMC now though. I live in the UK and have the following setup: Xeon E3 1270 v2 16GB Ram Blacgold BGT3620 Capture Card Silverstone CW03 case with iMon display 1) I cannot download the guide. It says there is a problem with the download. Has anyone in the UK got this to work in Windows 10? 2) I scanned for TV channels and found over 150 but none of them play. It says the tuner card is in use by another application. Finally, I can't see the option to make WMC auto-run at startup. Is the best way to get this working, by adding it to the 'Run' section in the registry? Thanks
