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

See msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc704587.aspx, search 0xc00d271d (hex, no "o" or "O" s involved)

"0xC00D271D"; "NS_E_DRM_UNABLE_TO_INITIALIZE"; "A problem has occurred in the Digital Rights Management component. Contact Microsoft product support."

Note that in redstone, searching the windows directory (and subs) for *WMDRM* returns only a much smaller wmdrmsdk.dll file, and the WinSxS sources refer to a "wmdrmsdk-stub," not the wmdrmsdk.dll, wmdrmnet.dll, etc. files (~0.5 MB each) present in a 1511 installation.

I'm looking for sources of "updates" to the WMDRM component in Win 7/8/8.1 that could be installed in redstone, but what I've actually found appear to be 2005-07 era material for XP or Vista.

Another thought is parts of the "Desktop Experience" from Windows Server 2012R2, which installs Windows Media Player 12 and components to support it (Windows 8.1 equivalent). --No: Server2012R2 already has WMDRM components installed, without the Desktop Experience feature installed, likely as part of the base installation; see WinSxS file sources mentioned in my next post--

I read that as Microsoft developing a tool that will strip certain WMDRM protections from certain, self-encrypted music files generated with Windows Media Player's CD ripper. Note that the page says nothing about restoring functionality for purchased music, etc. -- which would require restoration of the WMDRM subsystem and should not take months.

I think that we need to find a way to install a valid WMDRM component in place of the WMDRM stub present in redstone.


Update: Pull from your 1511 WinSxS store (C:\Windows.old\Windows\WinSxS\ on updated installations) the following to experiment with:
amd64_microsoft-windows-mediaplayer-drm_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.10586.0_none_fab3b39b6f24217a

Windows Media Centre - PC goes to sleep

When using Windows Media Center from the sticky above, which I have been using this software for a while - many thanks for this. W10 is a great improvement over W8, but Media Center is a must have for me.

Having an issue however that when playing back media, the PC will go to sleep after the preset time. Under W8, if media was playing, the PC would not sleep, only once the media had stopped would the sleep timer kick in.

This is driving me mad!

Obviously I can set the sleep option to be off, but I am not very good at turning things of manually (and when the PC wakes to perform updates etc, it never goes back to sleep).

Any ideas how I can get the PC not to sleep when playing back media, but to sleep normally if not?

 

Check your advanced power plan settings; there's a setting to allow/disallow this. I'm not at a Windows 10 computer right now but it's down the list under Multimedia I think.

 

Thanks, I think I know the option you mean and I have tried this, the option is:
Multimedia Settings
-When sharing media
--Prevent idling to sleep

Still does not prevent sleep when playing music/ video

 

I will give that a try when I am back home... Clean install of 8.7 had the same issue with the guide.
Can someone confirm if I should be able to ping data.tvdownload.microsoft.com?

I can't ping that from any device, not even my mobile phone.

But I remotely logged into a China PC and was able to ping it... Albeit with a different IP address response, that I presume is the west coast IP. I'm on the East Coast.

 

It's not pingable from Italy, but EPG works

There is a sticky dedicated thread for WMC.

Anyway which WMC version are you using?

I bet you're using an old version taken from one of the random websites who parasitized the mentioned thread.

I'm assuming that refers to the retirement of WMDRM in favor of PlayReady.

I'm experimenting with my WMDRM WinSxS pulls from 1511 now. That existed side-by-side with PlayReady.

Update: Swimmin' through the registry... la da dee da dee...

 

Yeah posted a new thread by accident.

I am using v12 from this site. It has been the same with every version I have tried
