I updated Win11 to 24H2 which naturally broke my WMC again so i installed 8.8.7 now. And of course uninstalled playready to solve the delay issue. All is working except recording settings...i can click on a show in the tv guide and schedule recording but nothing really gets recorded, and if i check the planned recordings the list is empty. Does this one ring a bell? *edit* Even hit the record button manually doesn't seem to actually record so it would seem i can't record anything anymore on Win 11 24H2 8.8.7
You don't mention whether you can watch any channels live. If you can, then the recorders are probably disabled in WMC. Edit the channel sources and verify your tuners are checked/enabled.
Yes live tv actually worked, scheduling a recording didn't. (You could have deducted that from the sentence "All is working except recording settings") I now uninstalled WMC again and reinstalled 8.8.5 Blue, scanned for my channels again (always a hour or so task that), live tv works and i can schedule recordings again! But now i have no sound on HD channels...never free of problems...i know there is a dolby fix or so mentioned here recently, i'll read back. Problem is i can't reboot now, doing harddisk reconfigs + backups of all stuff to external disks, but i'll survive waiting. (edit, no sound on HD channels issue is now also solved)
i'm back with troubles again , yes i realise it's newyears eve so i shouldn't expect advice any soon In the previous post i had 8.8.5 reinstalled and all was working. Now there is 1 thing that is again no longer working and that is schedule any new recordings, i basically go to the guide, click on a show, tell mce to record the movie for example...nothing...it's not added to the recording schedule, it doesn't get the "red bullet" and of course it doesn't get recorded. If i add the recording manually by use of channel and time, same thing, it does not get added/recorded. But the strange thing is, the recordings that were scheduled right after install (december 25th) are still working and still get recorded. I just can't add any new. To be clear, everything else is working, live tv, guide,sound & picture . I'm not entirely sure anymore but it is very possible that i scheduled recordings last wednesday before i uninstalled playready. But now i have manually reinstalled playready by executing PlayReadyPC_x64.msi and i still can't add recordings. Any advice apart from reinstalling again? *edit* it now seems i CAN record and schedule recordings on some channels and NOT on other channels, the plot thickens...but MCE still records the shows i had planned on the channels that i now cannot add recordings on...really strange thing.
I'm using a test system for 24h2 to verify this behavior. I installed garys version of wmc and have epg123 running. I can't get any digital channels on my Hauppauge WinTV Quad.. Its a catastrophe... a real shame. I will try my best to stay on 23h2 until hopefully we can get some sort of fix.
Hi, I'm using wmc 8.1 6.3.9600(from WMC about settings) mod probably something like 8.8.6, on w11 23H2: In the tv settings: Display calibration Brightness, contrast or RGB Color Balance Does anyone have the original video files used for tuning the picture, just shows black screen?
Don't be fooled by the version numbers: Gary's .msi installer is completely different from the .zip-based installers you can find here and has its own versioning scheme: the 8.8.7 .zip package I posted here includes all the necessary fixes required to ensure WMC works on the latest Windows 10/11 versions (fixes that Gary has included in his .msi installer).
My pleasure! Glad to hear it's working again. I'd be curious to know what had caused that regression: Microsoft taking the time to fix it likely means it either impacted other TV software using the same components or was a bug completely unrelated to TV that had side effects on the channels scanning routine
