WMC won't find hdhomerun prime tuners

I did a fresh win 10 install one one computer and an upgrade on another. One is win10 home and the other is professional. I can get wmc to open and run setup but it does not detect my tuner (hdhomerun prime). The tuner is live as the hdhomerun view client works. I've tried versions 8, 10 and 12.

I appreciate any feedback, thanks!

 

Just installed win10 on two computers but WMC won't detect my hdhomerun prime. Tried versions 8, 10 and 12. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

 

I meant to ask this in the WMC for Win10 thread. I have posted the question there.

"dunno if this will be useful."

Thanks for the link but I should have been more clear. WMC won't detect my hdhomerun prime so I can't watch live tv. The hdhomerun view app works. The WMC versions I have tried are versions 8, 10 and 12.

 

Which Win 10? TH1, TH2 or RS1? Not sure it works on the latter.

 

Not sure about the abbreviations but just upgraded last night. I see version 1511.

 

It's TH2 then.

So it should work, read backwards the thread. I think crash 2009 has explained that twice a week.

 

Ok, thanks. 563 pages is a lot to look over but I'll review crash 2009 posts. I'm having some luck with an upgrade but not the clean install.

 

There is a nice button "search thread"...

Thanks for the sarcasm. Do you not think I searched for the information first? I'm sorry asking for help appears to annoy you. I thought that's what forums were for...

 

Wasn't sarcasm. Was an info

Given I read all the post I can see that in 99.9% of the cases that's what happen. Just statistics.

 

I run cmd as admin
then I run _TestRights.cmd

another windows is opened but immediatly closed so that I cannot execute uninstaller in the other window

 

my system is Windows 10 x64
WMC version is Windows 8.1 (of course) Version 6.3.9600.16384

 

Wich version of testright?

If you're trying the one from v12 or v8.6, try to use the one from v8 (or viceversa).

Your system must have something that blocks the superelevated prompt (maybe some antivirus). V8 uses a different way to get it, so if one fails the other can work, depending on your configuration.
