Same as 10051 I tried earlier. Something I didn't try was to launch mcupdate manually during the initial setup, please can you try to see what happens. My 10051 is already gone...
@DavidinCT and T-S, TV guide in my case (digital French TV) is only downloading when you watch the channel, not via Internet. I don't remember if it was the case with Win 7, but I remember sometimes guide wasn't available. I'll probably go back to Win 7 in few weeks but at this moment I stay with Windows 10 (it works OK except some little bugs) but I still have a VM with Windows 7 running (but no TV stick). I can try to add it in my VM and launch TV configuration in MC, what files or report do you need ?
Ok, thanks. I suggested to try it but no one did so I was unaware of the problem. Anyway once you have anouther XML source the suggestion to use EPG collector is still valid.
Here in the US, The WIndows 10 builds do not support guide data that is pulled from Microsoft, On 7 or 8.1 they do. So, we need the EPG section of WMC ripped out and imported into this, or we need this complete installer from one of the older OS's on WIndows 10. This is not my primary WMC computer, this is on a office machine that I share tuners on. I like 10 but, with out WMC, I cant use it. Guide data is VERY IMPORTANT. This is really awesome that this is done but, with out guide data we are SO CLOSE but, yet so far
Yes that's what happens here too. Here the EIT data are fine, and available for any channel (while the MS ones are available fora dozen) but have 2 drawbacks. #1 On many channels they have data just the future 2 hrs, while the MS ones have data for 15 days #2 data comes only when the channel is tuned With EPG collector you can #1 import the xmldata exported by mc2xml (or other xml sources) #2 schedule a scan to have all the EIT data ready for all the channels #3 the above options toghether #4 optionally manage the data in some way (fix the empty spaces, fix the naming...)
RE: The initial wizard was stuck forever this is the same for windows 8, this only tells it is slowly working, it can take a VERY long time waiting for the tv setup data RE: "WMC has not changed in any of these builds, they are just left over from Windows 8..." no, if nothing had changed, it would work the same with every build, what there it is also "C:\Windows\ehome\mcupdate.exe -dbgc -pscn 0" crash bug in W8-1 is fixed in W10
Done, still no success and even log lists various crash errors: Spoiler Application: mcupdate.exe Framework Version: v4.0.30319 Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.

I really appreciate your efforts and your ability to accomplish such result! I upgraded my 8.1 with MCE to 10 and tried different software for DVR, but MCE in its simplicity is still the best. I'm using 10134 v.2.1 without problem, a part from EPG data unavailable (same error as someone posted before Download data not possibile etc.) May I suggest you to put pin a post on top of the thread with last version of this patch? It's really difficult to keep up to date if I must read pages and pages to see if there's anything new. Thanks for all your hard work!!!
So the general gist I see here, is although WMC works. There is no way to get encrypted cablecard tuners working as the guide data is failing? Is this correct? Does PlayReady even work on this WMC/Windows 10? Let along the DigitalCable Advisor?
Is there any way, how can I make from x64-updated-files.zip (the few files) something like WindowsMediaCenter_10.0.10036.0_x64_revised.zip (the full pack)?
Nope you need to download whole WindowsMediaCenter_10.0.10134.0_x64_revised.zip mount \bin\MediaCenter.wim replace the files/directories in Windows folder with the same ones from 10036 (you will need _TestRights.cmd to launch super cmd to allow the replace) unmount /commit rebuild the wim (export) done of course you have to patch required files first
Abbodi, can you guide me through the steps you did in order to install b10036 WMC? Never mind I got it working.
MS just released security update KB3087918 for ehshell.dll on Windows7 (and possibly other systems) that's funny
Theoretically, for any (at least W8.1 is pretty identical to W10) but each would have different hex offset and values to patch so each would need to be disassembled
Only two questions: 1. rebuild the wim (export)... You mean /Compress:max thingie? 2. patch required files... And you have already done that. Could you share the patched files? As there aren't present in x64-updated-files.zip. BTW: No need to put those tasks and other thingies from x64-updated-files.zip to WindowsMediaCenter_10.0.10036.0_x64_revised.zip?
