Things are working now. I'm manually adding the missing channels (50 some) and fixing the ones that show only a blank screen by adding those also. So once I'm done, and be damned it something happens.....Will the settings back-up in v12 works to save my setting for the worst? Oh....never mind I just saw the BackupRestoreSettings.cmd in v8.8.1...Wel anyhow, I'm on my way to all three tuners working in WMC. Why would Microsoft do this to us anyways? They market the wonderful ways you can work video and tv on your computers for years. Then turn around and tell us that we don't really want to do all those things we've doing. I myself have over 700 feature length movie I've created on my computers using my TV tuners either thru broadcast or from a vcr connected to them. I still have one XP system because it can bypass the microvision on vhs tapes, and new systems can use the hardware/software combo. I always edited my video with movie maker 6 but I'm having trouble with that on win10 so I jumped to movie maker 12. But that can't deal with the wtv format anymore in win10. But I still use it of others, and I have other software that can deal with them and crop to the letterbox for full screen 1280x720 or better.
Some of the files you listed have corresponding INF files. Some of these can be right clicked and successfully "Installed", which I think adds some registry keys.
I like this idea, a lot. Just don't know when I'll get the time to try it. Need to start getting ready for vacation.
Just saw this before I'm about to step out and haven't read it thoroughly, but thought just maybe it might be useful info related to WMC issues w/anniversary update. Although, it seems to be focused on webcams, just maybe also affects other video devices, such as HDHomerun, etc. First thing that popped out to me... "the issue appears to affect both USB webcams and network-connected IP devices". Either way, I think it's an interesting little tidbit. Hmmm, I haven't met requirements to post link, so search for something like this on arsTechnica... "windows-10-anniversary-update-breaks-most-webcams"
Thanks for the 10547 confirmation. That means I need to find another workaround for my Acer. I wonder if I can find a way of forcing a refresh of the codec registration - or something like that - on resume. That might be work-around for the system crashes. I've forgotten now - what was the problem you had, is it simply not working> I've got an Hauppauge Win-TV dual HD stick which has an IR receiver built in. I know it works on a lightweight machine that runs NextPVR and that's running 1607. I'll try it on one of my MCE machines if you want.
Not exactly. With the older drivers the ir receiver works perfectly but the system crashes when i close anything that uses that dll (its exe or eventghost) Thanks, but I believe that test will prove nothing given your stick is based on a completely different chipset (Silicon Labs Si21xx tuner and demodulator + Empia EM28274 usb bridge) and the problem has nothing to do with WMC itself. Installing the driver and the IR tool is enough to show the problem. So, if your IR receiver works with NextPVR, it will work with WMC as well.
OK - fair enough! Using Media Centre used to be so easy, and if like me you're in the UK using Freeview it was (and still is) the perfect solution. As I said before you all have my gratitude for keeping it going as well as you are.
Same here. I ended up manually installing 53 channels. But without the work and help I got here I'd be using NextPVR. It works ok, but doesn't come close the the ease of WMC. Things that take just one click of the mouse in WMC take 3 or more plus keyboard strokes in NextPVR. Thanks.
As I said many times everithing else is on par or better if used from 3m, using a remote, but wmc is unbeatable when used from 60cm, using a mouse or a keyboard, except the idiotic spacebar binding, that is standard as play/pause everywhere and in WMC is used to go to the last channel (killing the live buffer).
I had it set up a couple years ago as an entertainment center with a remote in the living room. But mostly I use it for recording movies and such. I've been doing it for years. I also like to record Michigan football and seeing the bad and missed calls. I also added a projector to my system so I get to watch things on the huge screen.
I rolled back from the Insider Preview fast track to the release preview track (from 14901.1000 to 14393.82) and had the weird side-effect of the WMC channel line-up showing some entries I can't recieve locally. I fixed this by rescanning the channels I could recieve. Didn't need to re-install though, so that's a plus. The whole roll-back process took only 20 minutes.
I just want to confirm, "WMC V8.8.1 by T-S" works perfectly with my PCTV nanoStick T2 and DVB-T channels, both UHF and VHF (yes I know it is old but in some regions of my country some channels are still using VHF). I cannot test DVB-T2 since it is not used in my country (except in some areas, mostly as test purpose).
