    If you're on the revised one then you're out of luck because that is the latest version with those decoder reg keys.

    Maybe when we get 8.1 patched files I might have some luck and it might be fixed there.... One can hope.

    Crossing fingers on Guide data...

    Somebody had the same problem and posted a work around.think there's a couple of services you need to stop before you open wmc.try reading back through the pages.

    Did you still have access to this installer by chance using 9926 files ? Was wondering when Windows 10 did a change that BROKE WMC's guide for US people ?

    If we are going 8.1 for the next trial, then never mind, as if we have a chance of one working right, it would be 8.1...

    May I know anyone here successfully connected the Windows 10 Media Center to Xbox 360 Extender? My one always fail in the last step.
    Event Log: Your Media Center Extender was set up successfully, but failed to connect (timed out after 180000ms).

    Gutted as I've spent the past 3 days working solid on trying to get this to work and despite all my efforts I just can't get WMC to connect to any of the multiple XBox 360's I have in my house.

    I only want WMC so that I can use the program EMBY (previously Media Browser) on my PC and stream content to all the rooms in the house via the Xbox 360.

    Has ANYONE out there managed to get an Xbox 360 Extender to ACTUALLY work with this method?

    Like others have mentioned I always get the "Your Media Center Extender was set up successfully, but failed to connect" error message even though all my Xbox's are hardwired to my router with CAT6 network cable and not using Wi-Fi.

    I've manually added exceptions both incoming and outgoing for all the required TCP/UDP ports from within my Firewall and checked all required Windows services are running but alas nothing seems to work :(

    So very frustrating as getting this working in Windows 10 would be extremely useful to me and I'm sure many others who still use their Xbox 360's to stream to from their PC's.

    If you're not using the DVR functionality and not playing content locally (just using extenders for playback) then I'd say you're a good candidate to run Win7 or Win8 in a VM on Win10. Certainly it isn't as convenient as having WMC directly in Win10 but it should at least work properly.

    EPG with WMC 8.1

    I hope I have good news! I successfully downloaded EPG from France with patched WMC from Windows 8.1.

    Patch files from WMC 8.1 x64 this way:
    Code:
    ehuihlp.dll
    337c     45 85 FF 40 0F 95 C6 8B C6
             B8 01 00 00 00 90 90 90 90
     
    1473b    E8 38 6A 01 00
             B8 01 00 00 00
    
    ehsched.exe
    2f8b     E8 48 15 00 00 85 C0 0F 84 2E 3C 00 00
             90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90
    
    ehrecvr.exe
    e9b8     E8 83 16 00 00 85 C0 0F 84 03 C1 00 00
             90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90
    
    ehtray.exe
    8541     85 C0 0F 85 9C C1 FF FF
             90 90 90 E9 9C C1 FF FF

    I hear what you're saying hmmurdock. The fact is my PC is on 24/7 and I just want a simple solution. I don't want to have to return to my PC in the office on one side of the house to fire up VMWare to then return to the room I was in to watch a movie on the big TV via the Xbox.

    I just want a solution where I can watch any media I have stored on my drives from an Xbox in any room of the house at any time without needing to do a certain task on my PC first in exactly the same way I did with Windows 7/8 via WMC and Emby.

    'tis a real shame I can't get the xbox extenders to work :(

    That didn't work either. I don' understand where the access denied is coming from and what I can do about that.

    Good job! What tool are you using to edit the .dll and .exe files?

    Win10 includes Hyper-V so VMware isn't needed. You could either leave the VM running or use one of the WoL add-ons if that isn't acceptable. Again I understand the desire to have it integrated with Win10, however I was just trying to offer you a solution that will actually work right now exactly as you've described as opposed to one that might work sometime in the future.

    Are the files the same? I'm looking at the offset for ehsched.exe and don't see 2F8B. I see 2F80 then 2FC0.

    So with that win8.1 rar. Just curious what the process for working with it is. Files, Tasks, etc to get it working manually without an installer.

    Yuck, Ok Thanks. Seems 8.1 files with working guide are coming, Trying 10036 as backup in a VM now..

    Thanks again for everything !

    One thing at a time, Let's all get the guide fully working and then take a look over that, Maybe when the 8.1 files come over it might work.... Did you fully disable the firewall by chance ? (shut it off, then disable the service) and did that help ?

    It could just be a 10 thing....

    My needs for WMC on 10 are different than yours, As right now, this version is working but, no where near ready for a HTPC use.
