    What is the model # of your remote?

    Sure. But as you can see the combination of people with interest in WMC and good technical skills are very rare.

    Actually we have a million and half of contacts thousand of messages and people really skilled in different areas are countable with one hand or little more.

    And among them only one (Graznok) has good patching skills

    That's non relevant for what he want to do

    Possible. I skipped it, I'm on 71.

    Hey guys. I've been having trouble with downloading the tv setup guide. I tried the workarounds and no luck so far. I know there have been outages with the server recently as I had trouble also with a win 8 pc but wondering if there is anything else I could try

    Just tried this on Windows 10, with V12 installed, Selected "Get Latest Guide Listings" in about 30 seconds say it downloaded fine. Appears to be working fine here.

    Are you using v12 ?

    Followed Gareth North's script and now my Xbox extender is all set!
    Upgraded from 8.1. Cablecard/DRM is working great.

    Thanks you guys for all the effort put into this. :worthy:

    Yeah 12. I believe what you're referring to is the step after. I get an error saying Tv setup could not be downloaded

    I'm unable to post a link but if I go by what I saw on youtube the IPs do change. Looks like it changed last month and might have changed again. Not sure if it's more of an issue for specific markets. Anyone know how to get the IPs?

    I didn't say it's a waste of time. I said is not relevant. Because we already discussed that replacing a remote function all together is something that doesn't work for what he wan't to do.

    Perhaps is something that can be done using eventghost which is way more felxible and easy to use than a registry editit .

    Again, not relevant.

    You can use any remote and bind any button with any WMC function, in 10 seconds.

    What's not easy to do is to split a function and change it depending the WMC status. For that you need to patch the WMC or (maybe) Eventghost and the mouse emulation.

    I am noticing a weird chugging/stuttering every 1-2 seconds when I have WMC in full screen mode on my PC. When in windowed mode, it isn't happening. Also, WMC runs fine on the extenders (no chugging/stuttering). This didn't happen on my Win 7 WMC. Any ideas?

    Win 10 Pro x64
    Ceton infiniTV 6 Pci-e
    Nvidia 970 GTX 4GB
    2 Xbox 360's

    Never seen that locally but that does happen using WMC remotely using the NX protocol.

    So, I guess there is something of driver related on your setup that triggers that behavior on the standard use.

    I bet that Actual Multiple Monitor and/or the The Maxifier, will fix your problems locally just like they fixes the remote problems for other users.

    Would updating Nvidia drivers help? Makes no sense it woul be locally but Xbox's are totally fine.

    Possibly.

    But it's also possivle that an older version would work better and your problem comes from a recent regression.

    Xbox has little to do with the local rendering. I'm talking about plain remote connections not the specialized ones meant specifically for WMC.

    Try WMC monitor Setup, and match the Resolution with WMC the Video Adapter and the Display.....if you haven't all ready.

    The chug might be one of the 3 in the chain switching from one resolution to the other.

    If WMC wont run on DVI without depending on DP (even though DP is not even connected), perhaps PlayReady/HDCP is broken.
