Hi Haslam,
· Are you able to play the same video with windows media player?
· What is the extension of the file you are trying to play?
Try to play the video by using another application and verify that it is. If so, you need to maybe update codec on your computer and check if it works.

Is there a file where are stored the data pause & rewind live TV in Windows Media Center?
Is there a file where are stored the data pause & rewind live TV in Windows Media Center? More to the point - how can I save the time shift buffer in WMC?
I would like to know if it is possible to find the data that Windows Media Center is to store during her watch TV Online. I don't speak data WMC stores by itself to allow the use of the function of pause & rewind live TV, how to find files that you have saved yourself by pressing the Red record button.
For example, I often live TV playing on the computer in the background while I do something else. Can I see or hear a brief fact/clip/segment of interest that flashes by and I think, ' I wish I had recorded that. " If I go back to the bit I wanted to capture and hit record, it will not capture the part I want, it will start recording from the point, the program has achieved in real time.
Does anyone know where the actual data of the TV are kept so that I can retrieve these clips that interest me, but were never recorded by me manually? I found the "TempRec" in the folder "Recorded TV" - anyone know how to convert this video (if indeed it is the location where you store temporary data for pause & rewind live TV)?
If not, is it possible to enable a feature in WMC, which automatically starts the recording of TV channels as soon as you go to them? This way I can record everything, then just cut all the scenes of interest using Movie Maker. If not, are there other Win7 compatible programs that will do this?
Thank you.
Apparently, there is a way to achieve the goal.
A nice gentleman from the Germany wrote dll that create a "time-shift buffer recording" add-in for WindowsMedia
Center (for Vista and XP only) which can be found at:http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/p/3...83.aspx#162083
For Windows 7, there would currently be via a 3rd party of program, i.e. PowerCinema 6, which records from any point in the time shift buffer zone - I don't know why Microsoft has not also incorporated this feature into WMC for have other programs third 3rd (including EyeTV for the Mac).
Unfortunately, suggestions from another forum to change file extensions in .tmp .dvr-ms TempSBE and double-click on the file to read the file of time lag in WMC, does not work in Windows 7 x 64 (the message in this forum has been regarding the Vista x 64), however, I have not tried with other versions of Windows - I would like to know if anyone has had some luck using this method.
Even if it had worked, I think I would have always preferred the usability and features of a program that does the job for me, like Power Cinema - damage, it could not have been WMC. What do you think?
Thank you.

The keyboard on the Windows Media Center screen does not appear when I hit the enter keyboard key!
I searched through the internet trying to find a solution to this annoying problem: after change to enter the registry and the application of the value entered for showOskOnKeyboardEnter under MCE. PerUserSettings, I always have problems serious on-screen keyboard to appear by using the key "Enter" on the keyboard. I managed only a couple of times to get the OSK to appear among the dozens of attempts, however, I am unable to recreate the actions - is absolutely not stable. The only area that reacts to the 'Enter' key is looking for music. All the fields in the section of Netflix and movies search fields are unresponsive. Not even works tap triple function. The only compatible and possible way to have the OSK appear is to double click on the field - that does not work given that the goal is to have an IR remote with the Media Center application interface. The button 'OK' on the remote control is mapped to the Enter key (except if WMC has a key code value for the 'OK' button). Help, please!
I had this problem and it was very frustrating. The posted solution did not work for me initially. What I've discovered, is that you have closed Media center before editing the registry. If you change it while it is open it does not pick up the change and then save settings (i.e. with showOskOnKeyboardEnter = 0) when you close.
Then...1 close Media Center.2. follow the steps of the posted solution: http://mymce.wordpress.com/2011/04/20/on-screen-keyboard-in-windows-media-center-doesn ' t - appear /3. Open Media Center.Should work now. -
Original title: Windows Media Center has suddenly stopped being able to see tuners.
I am running Windows Media Center and have a 6 Ceton infinitv tuner connected to my network. Since a few weeks things have worked very well. Now suddenly after installing a faster wifi adapter, I get messages such as unable to find tuner or all tuners are busy... who don't feel like I can always go to the tuner by Explorer or chrome, by typing the address of it and it arises but also shows that it is set on the channels that I am no longer watching. Any ideas on why WMC is suddenly acting when the only thing I did was install an a6200 netgear adapter, nothing has changed.

After that I put in my zip code he sought the power of the signal or something and then I got a blue screen. To restart the computer the information below has been MS. error message This happened to me twice.
Anyone know how to fix this? Or otherwise, I just want to use my computer to watch TV on, and if I can do this other method other than Windows Media Center free I am happy to do.

Original title: when setting up Windows Media Center, I get the error message: "IR hardware not detected".
I have an internal TV Tuner that has been installed by HP, when I bought recently a "computer build-your-own." (According to the control panel Device Manager, my tuner is a Win TV HVR 1290, made by Hauppauge). The computer came with Windows 7. While installing Windows Media Center, after setting up the TV Signal (on channel 3) I am able to see a video thumbnail on my computer screen. I am also able to change the channel using my remote control U-Verse (not the Windows remote control supplied with the computer). So far so good! I then hit next and get the following message: "Windows Media Center cannot detect the IR control cables, which are necessary to control the set-top box. Fixing parts IR that supports the IR control cables and then try again. IR HARDWARE NOT FOUND ". After you receive this message, the installation procedure is completed. I called HP that support intalled the tuner. They had not the slightest idea what to do. I then called Hauppage customer (manufacturer of TV Tuner). They said that I need to plug one end of the IR Blaster cable that shipped with the computer in a slot in the back of my computer (they told me which slot). They said so to run the IR all the way cable to my cable box and the other end of the cable to my cable box of band. They said it was necessary to be able to use my Microsoft Remote to instruct the box to change channels (cable IR stuck on the box). I told her that I did not use the Microsoft Remote, I could change the channel with my U-verse remote (that I preferred to use anyway). He said that it took the cable on the band decoder in order to remove the error message and the installation of Windows Media Center. I then called U-Verse technical adapter who informed me of their set-top boxes (made by Cisco Systems) do not have the ability to receive signals IR IR Blaster cable (or any othe IR signal source). Microsoft is apparently not understand how U-Verse set-top boxes are designed to work and sells a product incompatible remote control/IR. My question is this: How do I set up Windows Media Center, in order to avoid getting the error message "IR hardware not detected" when you install Windows Media Center and just use the remote control of the U-Verse that I prefer to use in the first place. Once understand you this point, please send the information to HP, At & T U-Verse and others. Thank you.
Ron, I have something for you!
and for all the people who have this problem :)
Hi, I had the time of IR not detected in Windows 7 Ultimate with a TV wonder 650 card and a box of digital adapter from Verizon for my PC... Go on the road to installation and after the Media Center channel search, choose manual configuration. Choose the aerial signal (I aso picked after this analog) l. After he sought more, he finds no channels. Do not be afraid. Just accept it and go to the main settings page in the Mediacenter. If I remember correctly, then select TV Guide. Choose Add channel. I added the channel 3.
Since my Verizon box has no IR for the computer, I added the channel 3 for the media Center and I change the channels with my Verizon remote. All my stations in the Verizon box go to Channel 3.
The story here is so, for some reason any Windows detects that only my box channel signal TV and you must manually configure the media center on the air, then go to settings and add the channel you want in the guide.
Why the guide TV control which channel you can tune is beyond me, but the scanner locks all channels, it does not detect. they must be added manually in the guide.
My TV works and looks okay now.
It actually works!
the only problem is that it is not in HD
but there is something

Windows media center m7350n: my computer refuses to get past start of windows blue screen

Hello;
Let me welcome you on the HP forums!
I read your post on your PC not start and I wanted to help.I wish I got good news for you, but I did not, as it sounds a bit like the hard drive has failed, what is to be expected if this PC XP - era still has the original drive.
We have a few troubleshooting steps to test the drive but they only work on recent PC.
What could work is by pressing ESC, or F1 or F2, when you start to see if one of these enter you a Setup screen, and if they do, choose to run the diagnostics from there to go to disk.
If the drive has failed, there is bad news (sorry!) -in that HP long leaves Jersey recovery media for XP - era machines, so there is nothing you can order from HP to restore your PC to a new drive.
Given that HP no longer provides a recovery media for your model, a few other sites, you should check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/
And if not enough bad news, I guess that the hard drive in your XP machine has something known as an IDE interface. You can tell by looking at the back of the car where the data cable connects. If it is a large flat cable (about 2 inches wide) and there are a bunch of small pins where it connects on the disc, then it IS an IDE drive and those who are practically impossible to find, as the industry player opted for SATA disks making a few years back.
Sorry... but it's time to think seriously to switch to a newer PC.
Good luck

Visual effects in Windows Media Center displays white screen
Earlier, when I want to play music from Windows Media Center, I was able to select the Visual effects and had a view that would go with the music (Alchemy, scratches & waves, battery) then I ran a Windows Update, which included an update for Media Center I can still play the music but when I when I select "Visual effects (, Visualisierungen in German) I get only a blank screen.

Received a response from Microsoft Answers, thank you for your response. Have tried all your advice without success. I ran the upgrade was "update for Windows 7 for x 64 system (KB2641690) November 13 2011.Even tried to install a new administrator, and it did not work. Uploaded a new video driver from ATI with success. I went back to an earlier version of system restore, our system automatically makes a return every three days and this did not help. I'm an American living in Germany, so our computer is a Toshiba L670D-105 German, Product Code PS3NE - 005001GR. Finally, I did a search through our system for the chemistry files, stripes and waves (strip und Wellen in German) and battery (battery) and the search gave no results. Is it possible that these files were erased during the update process? In the configuration menu of the Media Center, I can select these files and save the settings, but I have still no visual effect when I play music. If this is the problem how can I get back those files?
