Your Ceton Cable Card will almost certainly not work in any version of Windows 10 after 1511 and you would need to use stopupdates10 to keep it working so you will gain virtually nothing over Windows 7. You might be better off leaving the Windows 7 box alone and just building a new PC to use for everything else.
I wonder if the upgrade installed default tuner drivers without BDA support and when you removed and reinstalled them, you reinstated it.
I did check that Device manager reported that the same driver was active before and after the removal and adding back the hardware. I have no idea why it worked and only tried this somewhat sceptically when everything else had failed. I can only report what happened to me. I cannot offer any explanation.
I temporarily loaded the upcoming feature update on my computer (2004-19041-113) and loaded WMC with 8.8.4 with no love. WMC will not launch at all. Not Good..
@crusin WMC won't work on 20H1 without bringing back the SQLCE DLLs that were removed in this release. I'll likely create a 8.8.5 version embedding them at some point.
Thank you both Kevin Chalet and Technodevotee for your help. I was able to get WMC up and running on the new 2004 feature update.
hello I HAVE MY WMC 8.8.4 THAT TELLS ME SINCE A DAY ELSE THAT IT CANNOT DOWNLOAD THE TV GUIDE WILL IT BE POSSIBLE TO HAVE A CORRECTION TO HAVE THE TV GUIDE
Hi @Kévin Chalet, I have finally been able to debug your version 8.8.4 together with DVBLink. The last time I posted about this was last August in post 9570. https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...ible-alternatives.61061/page-479#post-1542747 It turned out to be a missing MUI file for MSVidCtl.dll. I used the API Monitor tool and the Visual Studio 2019 debugger to break into the code inside MSVidCtl.dll at the point in time when I tried to view live TV using the DVBLink virtual tuner. After some stepping around inside MSVidCtl, I realized that a call returned HRESULT 0x80073B01 (Win32 error code ERROR_MUI_FILE_NOT_LOADED). After this it was not hard to figure out that when making a particular COM component registration-free using a manifest file, it is sometimes not sufficient to copy only the COM component DLL. This time it was also necessary to copy the <language-code>\MSVidCtl.dll.mui file. I am on a Swedish system, so I had to copy the file C:\Windows\System32\sv-SE\MSVidCtl.dll.mui to C:\Windows\ehome\sv-SE. After having copied this file, everything started to work again.
Very interesting, thanks! It's not 100% clear to me why this only happens when using DVBLink (and not with WMC itself), but at least, we now have a good way to fix it.
Hi Kevin Guide Listings are out of date on the Windows Media Center. It prompts me to download updated listing but when I download it says data not available. Has Microsoft stopped updating the guide listing? Any suggestions as to how I could update? I live in San Francisco.Thanks for all your efforts
Your best bet is to install EPG123. It is a free program but it requires a small subscription fee to the data provider if you want to continue using it.
After the newest Windows 10 update I was getting the "All tuners in use" message with v8.8.1. Up until it stopped working I was still getting guide updates without using a 3rd party guide. I was able to eventually get it working with a little trial an error. 1) I first tried uninstalling v8 and then installed v13. I was able to fix the "All tuners in use" message by running replace_dlls.cmd included with V13. Unfortunately I was no longer getting guide updates. 2) I then uninstalled v13, installed v8.8.1 and ran the replace_dlls.cmd included with v13. This fixed the "All tuners in use" message I was getting previously and the guide updated successfully!
