Ian-Highlander 145 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) Taken the plunge with this today and just finished a clean install of Windows 10 on our primary media PC in the living room. WMC now installed using v10 and scanning for channels (found 105 so far so looking good), got to do some thorough testing with everything then drop EMC onto it and see how that performs and hopefully all will be well. Will report back... Edited December 14, 2015 by Ian-Highlander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee 204 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 What are you trying to do exactly, change the order of your menus? in WMC rather than EMC? there's a pretty good GUI out there that allows you to do this. I'll see if i can find it for you. I've deleted all the menus with patchous media centre config tool except emby and power, but previously the above code would remove the sub-menus (sync etc..) doesn't seem to be taking on anything except the "settings" one..

Lee 204 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Tbh I can live with it as it is... Hopefully the new emby theatre nullifies my need for this. Kodi et Al just wouldn't do it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian-Highlander 145 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 From my point of view. Almost all seems to work perfectly. TV works fine, recordings appear to work if triggered manually although I haven't tried scheduling any yet as I'm still setting the system up. "My Channel Logos" sort of works, in that I've been able to assign logos to each channel, but other parts of its functionality doesn't work (can't increase the number of lines in the EPG, can't centre the logos etc but I can live with that for now. "HideMediaCenterStrips" also works to hide various WMC menus I'm not interested in seeing. Only thing I couldn't resolve was "Media Center Studio" just will not run no matter what I try so my usual custom theme is a no go, but again can live with that. I looked at a couple of other options but they just seem to be far too much effort for too little gain so will just manage with the default theme. EMC appears to all work as expected no differently to it did in WMC7. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you using the original original MCS or have you tried ACS which was Assassin's revamp of it. It's in the link i posted for LEE. I meant to try it on my win10 machine last night but got caught up with finishing off decorating my Dining Room. I'll give it a test on Friday as away to Qatar for a couple of days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tested functionality of the DVR to schedule recordings yet? Are there tweaks for getting MCL to fully work yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian-Highlander 145 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 (edited) Come across a little issue which may be a game changer for me. When I schedule a recording, I then can't put the machine to sleep with the remote. If I remove any scheduled recordings, it sleeps and wakes up fine with the remote. Still digging... Edit: ok, got past that now, it will now switch off if I schedule a recording. Running some testing over the next hour or two with some things scheduled.

Ian-Highlander 145 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Slightly irritating, I've got almost all of it working as expected now, but when I first started testing this, live TV recordings had thumb images on them, now any recordings I do don't. No idea what/if I've changed anything that would affect it, but if anyone has any ideas I'd be grateful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleased to report that MCE RTB appears to work fine in Windows 10 (at least for applying themes which is all I've tried on it so far) and even works with my old MCS theme files (.mct files) too. Now to play with the rest of it and see if it works fully, might even buy it if it does Edited December 16, 2015 by Ian-Highlander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian-Highlander 145 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) So MCE RTB seems to do just about everything perfectly on Windows 10 WMC. Both .mce7theme and .mct theme files apply correctly. Logo changes work better than "My Channel Logos" and every function works (unlike MCL). Guide editing all works as far as I can tell.

For reference if anyone else has this problem, it was the disable Microsoft Video Decoder setting in Shark codecs that I'd installed.

Nobber 0 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Hello I had this installed (v8) and everything was ok, then updated with 1511 and WMC Emby locks intermittently not while playing a movie but sometimes at the end when going back to the list of movies, I have reset my PC reinstalled everything including older version of hack and it still locks, has anyone else experienced this?

Ian-Highlander 145 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I installed it on a clean 1511 build and it's fine, haven't tried it on one that was upgraded to 1511 from the previous build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamikel 4 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Well, it was an interesting experiment but I've gone back to Windows 8.1. In the end, I couldn't think of an argument to stay with Windows 10 as everything works as well as on 8.1 and Windows 10 breaks My Channel Logos and the Media Browser Configuration tool for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiark 0 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I've just upgraded my HTPC to have an SSD, and at the same time took the option to upgrade from 7 to 10. I still find the best interface is WMC, so I'm trying to get it working in 10. All looks good, but my library is a mix of full dvd rips (video_ts), and some MKV blu-ray rips. Everything plays, but after playing one thing I then get "cannot play media"... I guess it's the dvd player leaving things hanging around, which isn't good. Is there any way to use Kodi's internal player with WMC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now to play with the rest of it and see if it works fully, might even buy it if it does I know this is a month old, hope you don't mind be jumping in here. But did you need to do anything to get MEC RTB to work? I've just installed it on Win 10 - already had WMC ver 10 from MDL, and i get an error when trying to open MCE RTB.
