Anyone getting a black screen with just a mouse cursor when Media Center freezes and you press CTRL ALT DEL ? My MC has always and issue when I forward and rewind video and sometimes freezes in win 8.1 I just press CTRL ALT DEL and close MCE but on win 10 all I get is a black screen and mouse pointer. I have to physically turn the computer off and restart. Thanks in advance
That looks more like a video driver issue rather than a WMC one. Frankly I've never faced this, even on XP MCE
I ran into this too a couple of weeks ago. I can't ping 65.55.186.113 (nor 65.55.186.115 which is the alt) from any PC inside or outside my network. The EPG address pings fine (both the one you listed and the one in the help doc), but not the data one, so I can't do the initial setup.
V11 installs with no problem. V12 fails with an error of Error: 0x800f0922. I got it to install once but, it created no shortcuts anywhere, so I uninstalled it, rebooted and attempted to reinstall, now getting this error. Any idea ? Edit: Never mind, after the reboot, I ran the Uninstaller for the 2nd time. It did more of a cleanup, I was able to reinstall with no problem. Was going to delete this message but, left as reference for others with this issue.
To the experts who know about editing the code on Windows Media Center. Is it possible to disable the volume connect (so when you adjust the volume it does not show in WMC) ? If so, how can it be done ?
heya T-S, Even if i would it isn't possible to download the file. Maybe that's a reason that only two persons it has download it.
First, thanks to everyone who made this possible. Sad that MS stripped out WMC from Windows 10. I have a new htpc build running Windows 10 and I'm using v11 of wmc. Live TV and DVR functions are all working great with hdhomerun prime. The only problem I'm having so far is a thin line of white pixels on the right edge the screen that shows up randomly. Apparently this was an issue with Win7 WMC although I never experienced it in my previous htpc. MS released a hotfix for it before: kb974324 Anyone have any ideas to resolve this? **Update: It appears the old "logical width" registry edit still works to resolve this. There's thread at the thegreenbutton.tv titled "WMC @ 4k 60Hz - flickering line on right side of screen" talking about it.
The file is live and kicking. Just downloaded it. Did you uncheck the use our "downloader manager" thing?
+1 for a patch. For now I use PowerDVD 15 on my Surface Pro 4 m3. It streams drm channels over DTCP-IP to DisplayPort Surface screen just fine.
This WMC works fine for me -- thanks! -- but the black levels are washed out. WMC seems to force 16-235 even though my Nvidia GPU and everything else are set to 0-255. I found a registry fix that forces the correct black level, but the key it edits doesn't even exist in my Windows 10 install; I'm guessing it was a Windows 7 or 8 thing. Any other fix? I don't want to have to keep changing the TV settings every time I want to watch HDHomerunPrime through my HTPC versus watching movies through Kodi or playing games.
I have Power DVD 15 but I have 2 Ceton Infinitv 6 ETH tuners. They don't support DTCP-IP to my knowledge. If you know of a way to make those work, that would be GREAT
TS, I didn't realize there was a download. I saw the link in your first post, but there was no description. So anyway, I been trying to Hex Edit the dam thing myself. Gave up on that idea and re-read the thread. I downloaded the files now from your link (Watch out for the Screw-ware) I have all ready taken Ownership of the ehshell.dll contained within.... 1) %SystemRoot%\WinSxS\msil_ehshell_31bf3856ad364e35_6.3.9600.16384_none_203618765d3591ad I have ownership of microsoft.mediacenter.ui.dll contained within.... 2) %SystemRoot%\WinSxS\msil_microsoft.mediacenter.ui_31bf3856ad364e35_6.3.9600.16384_none_c7c20add72ce055d I have downloaded the RDP_Patch from your link and have extracted the two files to a temporary folder. So now what? Just copy the two files to folder 1) and 2) ? You mention copying the files to "other places" What are the "other" places ?
You can skip "taken Ownership" part by simply running _TestRights.cmd the new opened cmd has TI rights and you can copy files easily, just change location to where patched ehshell/microsoft.mediacenter.ui located, then: Code: copy /y ehshell.dll %SystemRoot%\ehome copy /y ehshell.dll %SystemRoot%\WinSxS\msil_ehshell_31bf3856ad364e35_6.3.9600.16384_none_203618765d3591ad copy /y ehshell.dll %SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL\ehshell\v4.0_6.3.0.0__31bf3856ad364e35 copy /y Microsoft.MediaCenter.UI.dll %SystemRoot%\ehome copy /y Microsoft.MediaCenter.UI.dll %SystemRoot%\WinSxS\msil_microsoft.mediacenter.ui_31bf3856ad364e35_6.3.9600.16384_none_c7c20add72ce055d copy /y Microsoft.MediaCenter.UI.dll %SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Microsoft.MediaCenter.UI\v4.0_6.3.0.0__31bf3856ad364e35 and you may do the nativeimage thing as well: Code: set _ngen=%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\ngen.exe %_ngen% uninstall "ehshell, Version=6.3.0.0, Culture=Neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35, processorArchitecture=msil" %_ngen% uninstall "Microsoft.MediaCenter.UI, Version=6.3.0.0, Culture=Neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35, processorArchitecture=msil" %_ngen% install "ehshell, Version=6.3.0.0, Culture=Neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35, processorArchitecture=msil" /NoDependencies /queue:1 %_ngen% install "Microsoft.MediaCenter.UI, Version=6.3.0.0, Culture=Neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35, processorArchitecture=msil" /NoDependencies /queue:1 set _ngen=%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\ngen.exe %_ngen% uninstall "Microsoft.MediaCenter.UI, Version=6.3.0.0, Culture=Neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35, processorArchitecture=msil" %_ngen% install "Microsoft.MediaCenter.UI, Version=6.3.0.0, Culture=Neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35, processorArchitecture=msil" /NoDependencies /queue:1
