Gaz 20 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Cheers Cheese - going to go and give this a go now. I gave up about a month ago trying to get it to work because I couldn't get it to find my Xbox extenders so couldn't stream any media to my playback device of choice. Any idea if Extender support works now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91esprit 8 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Does anyone have WMC working completely on Win10 yet? I installed as per instructions and all the EMBY functions seemed to work ok. I couldn't get EPG data until I added 2.16.216.176 cdn.epg.tvdownload.microsoft.com 65.55.186.113 data.tvdownload.microsoft.com to my hosts file. Now I can get EPG data and can watch LiveTV. However, I cannot record TV at all. Everything looks ok, no errors but nothing gets recorded. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayAre 11 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 V10 is out! US DRM channels now works with this version. Make sure you read the readme.txt and workaround.txt, if you are having issues.. http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/61061-DISCUSSION-Patch-WMC-to-run-on-Windows-10-final-amp-possible-alternatives/page32?p=1142647&viewfull=1#post1142647 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91esprit 8 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Does WMC Record at all, or is it just the Emby bits? All the Emby bits seem to work fine. Plays movies, scrapes metadata, etc, etc. On the WMC side, everything works except recording. I acan see the guide. I can watch TV selected from the guide. I can try to record from the guide - the red dot appears. Every thing looks ok but later, when I look in Recorded TV, there is nothing there.

Ian-Highlander 145 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) Installed this on one of our laptops last night as a test to see how it works. Very easy indeed and appears to be fully functional at least as far as Emby for WMC is concerned. Now to decide if I want to take the leap with our main media PC's. Need to test if it works with my PCI-E capture card for live terrestrial TV in the UK (including recording) or not before I make the final decision I guess. Lets hope Microsoft don't suddenly decide to issue a patch that disables all this hard work by those guys. Think I'll make sure I have an image of my old Windows 7 machine saved just incase, if I do decide to go down this route.

I did read the workaround.txt (Thats where I learned about the two additions to Host file.) No, I am not using Win10pro. Like probably 90% of the people on Win10, I just did the free upgrade to Win10 Home which does not allow group policy edits. I will give the command prompt workaround a try. I did use V10. I am in Canada with only OTA channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
