    I'm not an xbox user so I can't help further.

    Anyway did you swap the original file with the xbox one in the final location or inside the installer?

    The latter is the correct/simpler way to do it.

    Also could be tat the RDP patch may interact negatively with the XBOX patch, with the typical lazyness of most of WMC users, I have yet to have a clear idea about what is working properly and what does not.

    In case you want to test it w/o the RDP patch, replace

    ehshell.dll

    and

    Microsoft.MediaCenter.UI.dll

    With the original ones (take them from v8 or v12)

    Oh, and I have 3 Xbox 360's and I can have them all on and it works flawless (just make sure to have a good network environment!)

    Anyone try T-S's method here ? Sounds like it might work.

    I am sure I could install 10586 into a VM but, on my desktop I have 10 Pro, not a N version, so can we pull it from a retail copy and not a N or Enterprise version ?

    Or can someone rip a file from another machine and share it so it's just drop in a key and reboot ?

    N /non N has nothing to do with enterprise, I had the LTSB handy so I used it, but I think you can use any Pro N/Home N/Education N for the purpose.

    What is the DRMInitResult in the registry? Not at the computer now IIRC the registry path is under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\MediaCenter\Service\ehPrivJob.

    Also, does the result change if you run ehprivjob /DRMInit from an elevated prompt after this?

    Hi, not at home now, I can see this evening when I get home.. I'd need to install WMC again (no big deal). I had a snapshot and I went to the original (did too much and killed it :biggrin:).. just a matter of re-installing wmc part of it...

    Just in case you missed the tip from junkjunk876, you need to have copied over and registered a copy of msdri.dll from 10586 before you install the HDHomerun software.

    It's a driver (dedicated to the ATI TV Wonders, according the inf), so, yes you need to add it manually if HDHR relies on it.

    At the time the driver was made ATI TV wonder was probably the only CableCARD tuner in existence but I think they **all** rely on it.

    Hey T-S,

    I really don't want to waste anyone's time, I've used your installer to get WMC working on my Mother-In-Law's Win10 PC after the anniversary update removed the WMC v12 I had put on there.

    They are using an OTA HD antenna with a Digital TV tuner and everything looks great. LiveTV is coming in perfectly.

    Unfortunately PlayReady failed to update components after install and the guide won't download. Are these known issues?

    Sorry if I'm being stupid, I've been reading through the thread where I found the installer but felt I perhaps should just reply since I haven't seen the problem anywhere else.

    Thanks for your time and your work
