    Alright so as of the 12th update KB3192441 pushed through on my HTPC and immediately breaks WMC cause it to say that no tuners are available

    for now ive used the "show or hide troubleshooter package" direct from MS to disable that update

    just thought that I would see if anyone else ran into this update with CableCard/Ceton tuner


    Oh on another note if you need a safe quick place to upload these fixes let me know I could host them.

    This update prevented WMC (windows10 1511 (not anniversary)) from seeing my HDHomeRun Prime tuners. When trying to view live tv I got the "Viewing or Listening Conflict" and my recordings failed with "was not recorded because the tuner is not working or is not installed".
    Re-running WMC setup didn't fix it, executing the troubleshooting steps didn't fix it: my.hdhomerun.com/instructions/software-instructions/wmc.php

    Running c:\windows\ehome\ehprivjob.exe /OCURDiscovery found all three tuners as "known" but WMC still couldn't use them. They worked in HDHomeRun viewer as well

    Uninstalling KB3192441 fixed it. Thanks for the post!

    I looked over the fixes in that update and couldn't believe that would break WMC, but it just installed last night and my recordings this morning failed...

    Can someone please help me with these files to download, because the old links that meluvalli posted are now dead and I really need to get my WMC working on my Xbox extender.

    Found it all in the Readme file. Thanks for the heads up. I must have skipped right over that part. The v8 works better than v12 DISM for me anyway, so this is perfect. Thanks again ImCoKeMaN and of course meluvalli and T-S!

    With a new installed 1607 and the latest dvblink WMC does not find any channels although tuners are recognized. Any ideas how to solve this issue?

    Assuming you're talking about HDHR, you need to first configure dvblink.

    If and when dvblink runs ok and you're able to see the channels trough the browser and/or the android client and/or the dvblink client and or kodi and or.... you can configure the wmc machines, both local or over the network

    Microsoft may have done something sneaky. I don't have the update installed and now I can't see my HDHR tuners. reinstalled WMC 8.8.1 but no change.

    OK a uninstalled both WMC, and the HDHR setup and rebooted.

    Reinstaclled WMC 8.8.1 and the HDHR drivers. Went through the setup OK. If I tune to a DRM channel, I'm seeing:

    Critical Windows Media Center files that are required for video playback have been replaced. To restore these files, return to a previous restore point from System Restore.

    Don't even have any System Restore points. Help!!!!

    Not HDHR, I have digital cable tuners from digital devices and dvblink 13310. Channels are configured and available and functional with the dvblink player and kodi. When setting up tv in wmc tuners are found but the following channel scan does not find any channels, no matter local or over the network.

    Do you see the dvblink component in the additional features section? (or whatever is called in EN WMC)?

    Anyway not sure how your tuners are supposed to work in dvblink (nor if they are supposed to work), but could be that is done trough the Iptv component, not the TV source one.

    It's a DRM issue I think.

    I edited my post with more details

    That's a known problem of v8.x in some scenarios.

    Uninstall the v.8 and use the v12 (the v8.8.1 uninstaller should leave the system in a good condition to install the v12 w/o the usual hassles)

    Ok, I have installed WMC V8.8.1 by T-S on clean install of RTM build 10240 and also correctly renamed both Mcx2Prov files in order to get working on my Xbox extender. I have an HD Homerun with the latest drivers and the thing runs like a champ on both the native HDHR W10 app and also WMC as long as it's not through the extender. I'm having ZERO issues running WMC with full TV capabilities on my actual HTPC, but I STILL cannot get the dang Xbox extender to work. It just keeps saying Extender Setup - Configuration Error and this pops up during the Configure Your Extender part of the setup. I've been working on this for about a week now and this is REALLY getting old w/o TV on my Xbox on my living room TV. I have followed the instructions of T-S, meluvalli and Gareth North to a perfect T! PLEASE HELP!!!
