    After installing the wrapper, did you go into the configuration and set it as shown in the thread I linked to, then reboot and check that it shows listening, fully supported?

    If you don't have that, WMC won't configure the XBox and you need to troubleshoot RDP Wrapper before continuing. It doesn't matter what order you install in as long as you reboot after installing RDP Wrapper.

    I can set up the extender with either V12 or V13 but it only works properly with V12 (playback keeps stopping, IDKW) so I would definitely go with V12.

    Well thing is that no matter what, it says "Listening, not supported". Same config as you. WMC V12.

    It also fails the extender setup the instant it is attempted (after putting the extender code in)...

    Which version of RDP Wrapper did you install? Have you tried updating the ini file from one of the GitHub repos?

    It needs to contain an entry that matches the version of RDP you are using, which is shown in the configuration utility.

    As I said, if you don't get fully supported in the utility, it is a waste of time trying to configure the Xbox.

    The latest one, I updated the ini file with the built-in updater. Windows 8.1 Pro, completely up-to-date, x64.
    termsrv.dll version 6.3.9600.19628.
    They must've not updated it for this version...

    Edit: I added some stuff from this to fix it, and make it supported. But it still is failing the instant adding an extender is attempted... htt\\ps://github.\\com/stascorp/rdpwrap/issue\s/993 (remove the \s)

    I just booted up my Windows 8.1 PCs and let them update. This is the config in RDPWrap:
    RDPWrap-v1.6.2.1.png

    I had to reconfigure the Xbox because I had it configured on Windows 10 since I used it on here last, but it is working fine again now.

    I can't say why it isn't working for you but what I can say is that if RDP is working properly, WMC should find the XBOX and attempt to configure it. If there are other issues it usually fails on stage 3 so if it fails instantly, that to me, means that RDP isn't working properly.

    My suggestion for the next move would be to try a different ini file because I had to do that on Windows 10 before WMC would even attempt to configure the Xbox.

    edited a few times because it didn't didn't make any sense.

    Well the problem here is that it is failing *as soon* as it attempts to configure the damn Xbox

    It's crucial I get this up ASAP, I need this to work badly, man

    one thing - you haven't got a third party firewall running have you?

    one of the first things WMC does is to open the required ports on the firewall

    No, I'm using Windows Defender. Maybe you can try giving me the download for WMC V12 so I can try a reinstall?

    okay I think I got it to kinda work but it's failing (aka stuck on the last step) now, 360 saying it was disconnected from the WMC PC
    Also I am dead sure firewall is enabled

    how is the xbox connected - via wi-fi / cable / switch / router?

    read that some people say that certain routers have filters that can prevent connection

    Is UAC enabled and does WMC create a user account for the Xbox?

    have you looked at C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\eHome\logs\FirstRun.log and in event viewer to see if there's anything helpful?
