iam4uk 26 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 The link to the installer is disabled. Did you get it, and does it work? Does it support CableCARD for DVR? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xzener 729 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 That error is because it's a popular download and has exceeded the accounts bandwidth. Hopefully, for Emby Classic fans, will get hosted elsewhere. This is exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrickman 5 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 For those of you who've tried to download the file in question, and found its been disabled, I have uploaded it to my OneDrive. Use this link: http://1drv.ms/1ITXEoX to download. Enjoy! Mike 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy 7 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 If anybody that has installed/used this on Windows 10 can answer a few questions, please. 1. Does Emby work on this version of WMC? 2. Does the TV functionality work (specifically TV guide downloading etc)? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deihmos 147 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) I wouldn't recommend it. there is no guide data and the tv setup does not work. the windows decoder does not work either. i installed lav decoders and got video but then it crashed if i tried to rewind. If you have a cablecard protected content wouldnt work. if you want to use wmc it is best to stick with win 8.1.

Does Emby work on this version of WMC? 2. Does the TV functionality work (specifically TV guide downloading etc)? Thanks. I do not have Live TV functionality so I cannot answer #2, but I can provide answers to #1. I downloaded and installed per the instructions. Pretty straightforward. Just follow the instructions. Ran Media Center first before downloading Emby and went through the normal Media Center setup screen. Everything worked as it should. The only setup I did not test was with Live TV as I do not run a cablecard or OTA recording. I installed Emby for WMC and did not run into any issues there either. Emby, for me, works just as it should on this setup. Feels just like it does on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1. Chocolate feels really smooth. Square theme (my normal theme) works like it normally does. Installing plugins from within Emby for WMC works as well. I installed LAV and do not have the issues that Deihmos spoke of. I can rewind and fast-forward without crashes. This is pretty exciting. I am holding off on upgrading my main Media Center for now as there is still have quite a few months left for the free upgrade on that. Will keep running this on my regular PC to see if anything crops up, but so far so good. The download comes with an uninstaller, just make sure you have a good backup just in case.

Rewind and ff live tv. I don't use emby in wmc. WMC is only good at live tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overseer 66 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 WMC is only good at live tv. To be fair, that is a matter of personal opinion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianW 1052 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 OK, this sounds very interesting - I only use WMC for Emby, I have no use for live TV at all, so this looks like it's a perfect solution for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarterJK 35 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I was on the Windows 10 forums and the latest buzz is an article about an unofficial version of Media Center for Windows 10. Though I could not get it to install on my Virtual disc version of Windows 10 using VMWare's Player. Many from the forums posted screenshots as swear it is legit. So I thought I would pass on the link to people here. Now I have decided to update one of my laptops and try it here is the link http://www.neowin.net/news/microsofts-discontinued-media-center-suite-can-now-unofficially-be-installed-on-windows-10 Enjoy, hope it works for people 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heula 189 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Tried this today but it did not work for me. The installer gives these errors and at the end no WMC.

pritch33 5 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Didnt work for me but I did remove a few media related folders and bits recently and run ccleaner to do a cleanup so I wonder if that could of removed any traces of files or registry that are still needed to run the hack??? Doing a clean install on another pc currently and will give that a try when I get windows 10 on it. Ray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grabbed a win10 image from work to test installing media center. i'm guessing my team has these images locked down so normal users cant make any changes to them since they are on our network. i'll hand it off to them tomorrow and see what they need to do to install it. i'll update if it wasn't something they did to the image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turned off UAC completely and will test that after I have restarted my PC. I don't know to what folder the file copy should be but I guess C:\Windows\ehome? Turning off UAC didn't help either so it won't work for me yet. Edited September 9, 2015 by heula Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big update coming in November for Win10, we'll see if that breaks anything for WMC. Will have to get this running on my PC that is on the fast ring for builds for testing.
