After update to Windows 10 Pro 14271, and clean install of this WMC patch, Windows Media Center will not start.
It is too complicated to solve this issue at the moment, because there are globally two solutions: Make Media Center to think that all sessions (local and remote, eg. Extender) are local ones in order to get DirectX rendering and video playback, and suppress every remote session unit test, but this is likely making Extender connections to crash. Keep remote session in order to get Extender working as expected but force video playback, either under GDI rendering (but in that case video isn't played at all) or by enabling DirectX while session is remoted.
So, let me understand. After over 1.000.000 (one million) of unique accesses, we have the pleasure to get the attention of a new users at his 5th message?. I think you should ask something yourself before asking here.
Maybe you simply don't know what your talking about... Try to use JRMC or KODY for TV services, and look at how simple they are...
I guess the main reason is....WMC plays and records DRM channels. You are not going to collect many "likes" in this thread with the "rubbish" statement.
DirectX over RDP would be awesome. So I can play Media Center back and when I get sick of watching TV, I could start up a game of Call of dudy as well I'll have to admit, that would be really cool, not just for Media Center...lol This issue was resolved. Interesting find. The app came with it's own "RegisterMCEapp.exe" that it installs in Program files, so what I did was install it, let it fail, Checked the Reg file (the batch file was in the installed directory) and saw where it was calling to "RegisterMCEapp.exe" in the folder, I changed the script around to use %Systemroot%\ehome\RegisterMCEapp.exe This app installed with out a problem on a unmodded machine...odd.. After running it, it installed fine and works in a modded WMC....This was with Revision3 app that still works and pulls down current data/videos that play back in WMC... Just a fyi to anyone running into this problem. Media Center studio fails to run but, I moved over to Media Center themer so I should be able to drop that app for good. So far, I tried 3 native WMC apps and they seem to all install fine. More testing to come but, over all, it's fixed.
With a clean Windows 10 install, use ver 12 and with an upgrade use ver 11. Been working perfect for me.
Just uninstalled ver 11 (because I had the EPG processing error) and installed ver 12 on a fresh Windows 10 Enterprise x64. Now everything works fine but every time I run WMC I get the following warning (see image below): EhTray.exe The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software? And even if I uncheck the "Always ask before opening this file" option, it keeps coming back. Any idea how to get rid of it? I tried to search the thread but I couldn't find any reference to this problem.
This regedit will get rid of all those low risk file type notifications Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Associations] "LowRiskFileTypes"=".zip;.rar;.nfo;.txt;.exe;.bat;.com;.cmd;.reg;.msi;.htm;.html;.gif;.bmp;.jpg;.avi;.mpg;.mpeg;.mov;.mp3;.m3u;.wav;" "DefaultFileTypeRisk"=dword:00001808
Well, this solution seems a little too extreme; anyway I can exclude only ehtray.exe and not every possible executable? Wondering why in ver 11 was working just fine. What changed in ver 12?
Right click proprieties ---> unblock. Obviously you need to set the right permissions before Alternatively, just unblock the the downloaded zip before unpacking it, then uninstall and reinstall the WMC
Ok, so tried this all again... Without eshell.dll patch, xbox connects just fine. Can go through menus etc. When you try to play a video, it errors saying you cannot do this through a remote desktop session... With patch... XBox appears to freeze connecting... It gets stuck at "Windows Media Center contacting..." screen. And the balls that light up across the bottom of the screen one at a time, stop... So, it freezes... It looks like I was wrong about it connecting with the ehshell.dll patch.... It never fully connects. However, windows shows the MCX user logged in... So it looks like it's working so to speek... Never get any audio if I try clicking "OK" to get to live tv or recorded TV... Which brings me to my next point... You said you could still play video in full screen, just loose the Media Center GUI display, so you are starting the video blind... I tried this... I can hear me clicking "Recorded TV", My Show, and then "Play"... But then nothing.. Video never starts... So I hit ALT+ENTER to take it out of full screen and see the GUI and it is sitting on "Video Error" screen.. "Files needed to display video are not installed or are not working correctly"... However, works fine at console and also works fine if not in full screen when I start the video.
