- WIN7 MEDIACENTER FULL
- WIN7 MEDIACENTER WINDOWS 10
So - oddly, the very first time I added the movies this worked, and now nothing that I do seems to get them to appear.
WIN7 MEDIACENTER MOVIE
For further testing, I copied a few of the DVDs to a local folder on the Win7 machine, and then tried to add that folder to the movie library. I can't see how this could have an impact. The only thing that has changed is that I installed Windows Search 4.0 on the Windows 2003 server, and indexed the entire machine, including the DVD folder. The share is on a Windows 2003 server, and is definately accessable from the Win7 host. Unfortunately, this time the movies did not appear. I then deleted the share from movie library, and a little while later added it back. The DVDs appeared in the movie library as expected.
WIN7 MEDIACENTER INSTALL
The first time I did this on a clean install of Win7 RTM it worked fine. Thanks y'all.I am adding a UNC share that contains DVDs to Media Center in Win7, hoping to have the DVDs appear in the "movie library". I cited my sources for the fix - cant take all the credit. If you are comfortable with regedit, you should be ok with modifying/(re)moving. db (flat database) files are just as important to look at as registry settings. Those aren't solutions, they are the lazy mans fix, which really isn't a fix if you never understood what when wrong in the first place. "reinstall" or "reformat and start over". I really despise solutions that involve "restore" or I was at my wits end trying to figure out what to do and in desperation, I restored the system to the day before I installed this software - with no luck at all. Click the Start button on your remote (if your TV is set up) or choose StartAll ProgramsWindows Media Center. I found this fix BY ACCIDENT because of another problem with MediaCenter Viewing stuff on your PC is pretty easy if you don't want to hassle with configuring Windows Media Center in Windows 7 to work with your home entertainment system. I'm luck that IĪm not afraid of the registry or of moving system files around, otherwise I fear for someone who uses this program and has the same problems I did.Īlways keep looking. It tore up my system and I have spent 5-6 hours trying to get functionality back. It never did what I wanted it for, nor did it do any of the things that it promised it would do. db files out and forcing MediaCenter to recreate them, I now have the functionality back that I had lost before.ĭon't believe the hype, My Movies 4 is not a good product. Nor Movies were listed in the menu after the My Movies 4 debacle, and after moving these. I thought it used to be TV + DVD, but I could be mistaken as I just assumed from other posts the proper location for it. Its not where I thought it would be, its a separate item listed as movies. Not only did MediaCenter start working again, but after the setup, which you have to do because this makes MediaCenter think its brand new again, and letting it sit for a while (a half hour) it found my NetFlix I modified the suggestion of deleting these files (which were named slightly different in my case "mcepg2-0", "mcepg2-1" & "mcepg2-2" I'm assuming for the three user accounts I have on my machine) just in case, and moved them to the desktop for safe "Media Center has stopped working" at mceworld. "Media Center has stopped working!" at the Microsoft Answers site I did find this problem listed 2 places online:
WIN7 MEDIACENTER FULL
The forums were full of fixes eg replace dlls and other tweaks, but this had to be done every 6 months - and got harder every time.
WIN7 MEDIACENTER UPGRADE
Although it worked initially, every 6 month upgrade broke WMC.
WIN7 MEDIACENTER WINDOWS 10
The dialogue box would then disappear and nothing would happen - no event written to the log so nothing to check there. As a long time fan of WMC (for live and recorded TV), when I switched to Windows 10 I went down the 'hack' route to install WMC on 10. So after running the MediaCenter Recovery Tool a few more time, MediaCenter finally crashed, giving me this error:

My head hurts from banging it against the wall.įYI TechNet Forum Moderators - this is a fix for the above issue, so please make it as answered. Interesting note: DVDs play in MediaCenter just fine as that is listed as my default program for DVDs (thats not the problem either).Īny help anyone could provide me would be greatly appreciated. Most of the online forums seem to address Vista MCE or MCE 2005, neither of which I have. I'm guessing this is a registry issue, but I have no other copy of Windows7 I even restored the system to the day before I installed the DEVILWARE MyMovies 4 and its still not fixed. All that has done has removed the Netflix integration from my MediaCenter. I used Control panel to turn MediaCenter off, reboot, turn it back on, reboot - no I used computer management to run the MediaCenter recovery tool - no joy.

This is not a HideDVD=0 issue,Īs my system didnt even have that key, but just for giggles, I added it with the 0 value - no joy. After uninstalling it, the Play DVD and the Library items have since vanished. I installed the HORRIBLE program MyMovies 4 and have had nothing but problems since. in fact, the menu item now says just TV, not even TV + DVD.
