[DISCUSSION] Patch WMC to run on Windows 10 final & possible alternatives

HDHomeRun Service was not listed in services only HDHomeRun view final got services installed and started but still no turner

@echo OFF
echo Stopping old service version...
net stop "HDHomeRun_service.exe"
echo Uninstalling old service version...
sc delete "HDHomeRun_service.exe"

echo Installing service...
rem DO NOT remove the space after "binpath="!
sc create "HDHomeRun_service.exe" binpath= "C:\Program Files\Silicondust\HDHomeRun\hdhomerun_service.exe" start= auto
echo Starting server complete
this installed it but no turner

 

Yeah, I had tried running the HDHomerun with one of the new betas, but I also had the 20150826 installed with hdhomerun_service.exe. So I tried running just 20160729 in compatibility mode, but it did not install hdhomerun_wmc_service.exe. So I installed hdhomerun_wmc_service.exe manually and still no love with 14393. I think T-S has the right idea with the serverbda package, but I think the HDHomerun is going to need a newer package that supports the newer digital tuner that supports cablecards and DRM. Like I have said before I've discovered some of the files that are needed like msdri.dll, but we need to figure out the complete package.

 

As I noted in my original post, service is now called hdhomerun_wmc_service.exe in the current hdhomerun beta releases.
For good measure, verify with
c:\windows\ehome\ehprivjob.exe /OCURDiscovery
that tuners are discovered once the hdhomerun wmc service is running.

 

Right, my instructions were for w10 current release not w10 insider preview/beta release.

 

for w10 current release what one th or rs

 

Sorry I haven't been paying any any attention to microsoft betas. Whatever version of windows 10 pro that microsoft downloads to one's usb thumb drive if you elected to do so last week.

 

The current release is Threshold 2. The upcoming Anniversary Update is Redstone 1.

Hey MWPeterson,

Just converted to Windows 10 and even my HDHomeRun View is not working. Are there some well known steps to get that working on Windows 10? Stinks we can't get DRM but I'd at least take the View app working for now.

its still works even in win10. The issue i have is some thing really has stuffed up the sleep function. still investigating why. All I seem to get is that below. This randomly happens. I'm really not sure why.

T-S suggested this about a week or two ago. Looks pretty easy...just boring.

So, I opened Win7_GrabFiles.bat with Notepad++

It appears that Win7_GrabFiles.bat could be easily adjusted to grab more files than the 17 it is programmed to grab (actually 34 if you count both folders)

Code:

@echo off
set self=%~d0%~p0

echo.
echo Welcome to the BDA file grabber for Windows 7 x64!
echo --------------------------------------------------
echo.
echo This batch file does only work with administrative privileges!
echo.
echo Batch file location is:
echo %self%
echo.
echo Please cancel if it is incorrect or if you don't have write permissions.
echo.
echo.
echo Press any key to continue.
pause >nul
echo.
echo.
echo Please enter your system locale and press enter.
echo It must be the same as on your Windows Server 2008 R2.
echo.
echo Examples: en-US, de-DE
echo.
set /P loc=

echo.
echo Grabbing files...

I guess the question is "What other files are needed?"

 

I guess the question is "What other files are needed?" that is the question of the day added files from your dl site still no go

used with admin but some said access denied

 

See the package for win server. I pointed to it because a reason. It should be exhaustive.

That said maybe a single file needs to be replaced, but that is something that can be narrowed down only if the whole thing prove to be working.
