Unfortunately, neither worked. Uninstalling PlayReady and DCA in the Programs and Features causes WMC to install PlayReady automatically before scanning for a TV signal, but DCA is not installed. Also, the version of PlayReady installed by WMC is 1.3.10, while the stand-alone download version is 1.3. Does DCA need to be installed separately?
The problem is that TMT is no longer supported as they closed shop after loosing the licensing trial. And it no longer plays recent Blu-Ray because of non updated protection codes. I finally had to get rid of it and get Power DVD 16.
To begin with you followed advice given for a CC Tuner (that is Cable card) You have an OTA Tuner (that is Over The Air) I dont have much experience with OTA and absolutely NONE with your brand of tuner. Sorry I'm not much help. Perhaps you should start over and follow the directions in the Readme (to the letter). EDIT one other thing I thought of later... Is there even a Win10 tuner driver for TvWonder?
I have no idea about the ATSC things. But what's the supposed function of a Digital Cable Advisor on an antenna tuner?
I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this already, but is there no way to fudge the guide download portion of WMC setup? I have still not been able to get past this step on one particular PC of mine. Another PC took the Windows update and I was able to get through the guide download, but not this other PC I've had issues with. I even did a clean install of Windows just for kicks, and still can't get past that step. is there no way to transfer something from a working WMC install to this problematic PC? Is there no external download that can give WMC what it needs for this?
You have the backuprestore script on either v8.7 and v12 backup from a working machine, restore on the problematic one, redo the channel scan, if asked, and you're done.
I am using TMT 6.71 I think. It was working perfectly from within WMC (both under 8.1 and 10) using the MS remote but since the anniversary upgrade crashes every time if launched from within WMC (either directly or by loading an iso via Mikinho Mount). Works fine standalone (after a reboot). Only use it for homemade Blurays so they are not encrypted. Have the same issue now with PowerDVD (older versions) launched from within WMC so it seems to be a WMC issue in part.. PowerDVD 16 works perfectly, but doesn't have a WMC plugin anymore.
Could be the problem with the new stock codec msmpeg2vdec.dll, try to replace it with the one from 10586, or just rename it as .old and use the LAV codecs alone.
Might be a Codec issue. Don't know what to suggest. Thanks for the tip I must not have even tried the remote.
After proper configuration and testing, I find that to be a non issue. I set Windows to launch PowerDVD 16 when I insert a Blu-ray (the only time I need PowerDVD) and I setup PowerDVD to always open in TV mode full screen. Like that if windows media center is opened and I insert a Blu-ray it kicks MC in the background and open the DVD full screen instead. If you want to be able to launch PowerDVD 16 from within Media Center, you can create an MCL file and place it in the Media center program directory with an image Icon, and that will add a launch button in the Extras inside WMC. I can give you the mcl and location if you need.
Even simpler. just use Eventhgost to switch between one or more multimedia program according to the feature needed and the pushed button.
Seems like a simple solution! If you could give me the location and MCL that would be brilliant. Used to know all about these things, but forgot so much!
Does this include setting up local TV and the guide data in the USA? I upgraded one of my 4 machines, and I can no longer finish the tv signal setup. It hangs on downloading the TV setup data every time. I've even rolled the upgrade back, and still can't get past this step when starting wmc.
The directory is C:\Users\xxxx\Appdata\Roaming\Media Center programs replacing xxxx by the user account name The MCL file I created with Notepad, and saved it as Blu-Ray.mcl but you can name it what you want as long as it has the .mcl extension. The content is below: <application Title = "PowerDVD" Run = "C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD16\PDVDLP.exe" BGColor = "RGB(63,24,172)" Name = "Blu-Ray" CompanyName = "Cyberlink" ThumbnailImage = ".\Blu-ray_icon.jpg" > <capabilitiesRequired directX="True" audio="False" video="False" intensiveRendering="True" console="False" /> </application> and together with the mcl file I put an image icon named Blu-ray_icon.jpg You can name your Icon image anything you like, just make sure the name matches in the mcl file on the ThumbnailImage line
There is not this blocking think in my Windows 10. To be safe I unpacked the 7z file on my Windows 7 machine and it's the same. So why WMC 8.7 is not starting the installation process on my machine? Edit: I am trying now again "WMC_6.3.9600.16384_x64_v12" package, maybe this would run for me, it was also working before the win update Edit 2: V12 basically is installed. I start it now and test if everything is fine with it... Edit 3: V12 downloads the regional TV settings. This did not happened with V8.7 after half manual install
I suggested you some checks, w/o them is hard to tell. I guess that after 985 downloads if there was a mistake on the installer we had dozens of people blaming about them.
