yotoprules 0 #1 Posted June 3, 2019 Hey, I have Windows Media Center installed in Windows 10. I installed emby inside of it. It asked me to approve the pin, I did so, and I pressed Next. Now all I get is a blank screen whenever I try to load up emby inside of media center. Is this a known bug? Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dansblackcat 31 #2 Posted June 4, 2019 I had too many issues trying to get and keep Media centre running on Windows 10. I just rolled back to W7 in the end. I'm sure the Devs will try and help but Media centre was never designed to run on W10... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

b3nny8 0 #10 Posted August 6, 2019 I'm running into the same symptoms. Newly installed Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center pack installed. Initially saw the pin registration the first time I booted up emby for WMC after the install. Once Pin was entered I get a blue screen. I've uninstalled/reinstalled the emby plugin for WMC several times and no longer get the Pin request screen any longer just a blank blue screen like in the original post. I've tried the latest stable and latest beta release for the plugin and get the same results. I've attached my logs. I tried disabling the Windows Firewall which had no change in behavior. I can access my Emby server through a web browser on this machine so I suspect something in WMC is preventing the display of the welcome screen when launching emby.

b3nny8 0 #13 Posted August 7, 2019 I would love to try to enter the server address manually but I can't even do that currently. I got the pin code to show up one time and it will not show up again even after uninstalling/deleting left over program files/program data folders and reinstalling emby for wmc. Just goes straight to a blank blue screen. I checked and .net 3.5 is enabled in my windows media features which I had to enable for another WMC application (tunersalad).

ebr 10489 #23 Posted August 8, 2019 Unfortunately, I'm still stumped. My guess is that it is something environmental but I don't know what. The original report was on Win 10 which throws everything into question for WMC but you said you are on 8.1...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jachin99 57 #24 Posted August 8, 2019 Have you tried different resolutions? The wmc for win 8 and win 10 are the exact same thing. They ripped it out of 8 and put it in 10. Do you have any kind of themes applied to wmc? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jachin99 57 #25 Posted August 8, 2019 Also if you look in the media browser programdata folder you should be able to find some of the theme files. Check their properties to make sure none of them are blocked for whatever reason Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
