Thanks for the feedback. I tested it on numerous PCs with various combinations of Windows 10 and WMC and it seemed to work fine on all of them. I can't tell whether rolling back the DLLs to 1709 versions (the last ones that WMC seems completely happy with) has any deleterious effects on other software. Hopefully, a permanent solution to this DLL replacing rigmarole will be found one day but it will done by someone with far more in depth knowledge of programming than me.
I can also confirm working on 1903 with version 8.8.3. Make sure you extract the files into the directory with wmc, not in their own subfolder (DLLs and bat file go into the bin folder, main command into the folder above that).
"Thanks to BMV flagging this up, I have discovered that the error actually exists in 8.8.1, 8.8.2 and 8.8.3." Thanks, can you please explain the implications of leaving things as they are? What is the effect of the error? Currently everything seems to be working for me and I am reluctant to start tinkering without good reason.
The error is in one the linkages to a DLL connected with the Infra Red Remote subsystem but beyond that, I don't know what the implications are. What I do know is that I have had all sorts of issues with using an IR remote control after switching from V12 and gave up using it. Whether it is connected or not, I don't know but I'm going to give it another try now. If you don't use an IR remote or aren't aware of any problems then you can leave it be.
I used MSMG's installer on 1903, and just stuck on Downloading TV Setup Data. I'm using OTA only. I've tried a couple things here in the thread, but IDK. Is this not 8.8.3? EDIT: I found 8.8.3 in the green button. Running though OTA setup now. I have a really simple setup for WMC, so I hope I dont run into any issues. Because I need to update the hardware and OS.
Got WMC witha Hauppauge 1600 card, have Fios so can get the QAM channels. When I scan I'm only getting 23 channels, WinTV is get more than double that.
Thanks very much finally got mine working on Windows 10 1903 1. uninstalled old install 2. reboot 3. Installation: 1) Run _TestRights.cmd script as administrator if another command prompt window is opened, then close it and proceed to step 2) if no cmd window opened, try again one or two more times if still no cmd windows opened, then you need to reboot the system and test again. 2) Run the Installer.cmd script as administrator to install the pack Run the fix_thumbnails.cmd script as administrator Run the replace_dlls.cmd script as administrator 3) reboot run WMC the first time as administrator and go through setup for channels once finished exit and reboot after reboot start WMC as normal and all was good.
Downloaded the 64 bit file from above followed BigKev's instructions to the T only issue was I kept getting a message to the effect that the PlayReady needed to be updated and it kept saying unable to connect with PlayReady's site so I just hit no then rebooted and and it works again I have my WMC back working on Windows 10 1903 thank you to this site and all who contribute to it and the people who love there wmc just like me..
Yes, but you need to run the fix_thumbnails and replace_dlls scripts in the installer folder after installing. Please also read the known issues, notes and warnings in the post with the links.
