• Cannot select the drive (NAS) on Windows Media Center

  Original title: cannot select the drive (NAS)

  My HTPC uses a small SSD 30gig as an OS drive, with all the media stored on a 2 TB WD MyBook Live all connected via gigabit ethernet.  The NAS is mapped by Win7 Premium as Z: and is visible for Win 7 and all other programs, including iTunes and XBMC.  In Media Center settings-> TV-> check the possibility of the recorder are grayed out (+/-buttons) and the drive C: of SSD is the only option.  What can I do to get the WMC to see the SIN?  Is there another setting of mapping I should use?

  Also, as a side note, there is no option to change the quality of the recording at all.  Installer below.  If any other information is needed, let me know.

• Windows Media Center has stopped updating the lists Guide for Windows 7

  Windows 10 will go out the next Wednesday July 29, 2015. I have Windows 7 and I have technical problems with the Guide in Windows Media Center lists. This isn't updated Guide lists and I wonder if this problem is related to the upgrade of Windows 10?

  I called a technician to answer Microsoft desktop and the technician fixed my computer errors. Unfortunately, he could not fix this problem. Even though I always reset and auto update of listings in the Guide, the result will prove be the same with "no data."

  Windows Media Center has given me many error messages:

  Windows Media Center

  "Windows Media Center has corrected a problem with your registration data and will download the Guide even once. You should review your records to make sure they are always planned properly. »

  Failed to download

  "The new TV configuration data could not be downloaded. Existing data, if any, will be used as you continue by configuring the TV signal. »

  Downloadable guide is not available

  "Downloadable TV Program Guide listings are not available due to previous failures of download. For more information, right-click on the Windows Media Center system tray icon and open Windows Media Center update log. Select back to try again. You may be able to get the TV show lists, if they are available. »

  Guide download error

  "The Guide could not be downloaded. For more information, then Windows Media Center system tray icon right-click and open Windows Media Center update log. »

  I can watch TV on the computer using Windows Media Center and manually record TV shows, but it is difficult for me to record TV shows without ads Guide on Windows Media Center.

  Note to update (as of August 2, 2015):

  The Electronic Program Guide (EPG) for Windows Media Center Guide ads was already programmed by zap2it until July 21. After July 21, zap2it is no longer can update the lists Guide for Windows Media Center.

  July 23, Rovi Corporation's new Electronic Program Guide (EPG) for Windows Media Center Guide ads.

  From 23 July, listings in Windows Media Center Guide is running back to normal for Windows 7 users.

  My Guide Panel is equipped with a selector more [on the listings in the Guide] where is the expiration date. I hope that Microsoft does not support Windows 7 WMC.

  Please don't waste your time trying to solve the WMC, it is the expiration of the license that is causing the problem. I know it's frustrating.

  On the other hand, is - can anyone say with certainty that WMC is available on Windows 10? No charge for the upgrade to Windows 7?

  The way I see it, not providing the function of key in W7 WMC guide is motivation upgrading to W10, assuming that WMC is available.

  Hopefully Microsoft will give us the fix for WMC in W7.

• change the order of the images displayed in Windows Media Center

  I'm changing the order that pictures are displayed.  To try to change their order of appearance, I changed the photo taken date of some photos.  When I go through the pictures in Windows Photo Gallery, they appear as I intend.  When I go through the same pictures in Windows Media Center (by date taken) some photo are out.  But they are not the photos that I've changed.

  Once they appear in the correct order, I intend to burn to DVD with background music.

  Thanks for your help.

  Hello donb113,

  ·         Have you tried to update the media library of the Center once you have changed the order in which the photos are sorted?

  You can delete and any location where you have saved your photos (media files). This will refresh your Media Center Library and sort files in the order that you have sorted your computer.

  1. on the start screen, navigate to tasks, and then click settings.

  2. click on the library settings.

  3. click on remove the folder to watch and then click Next.

  4. According to the where your digital media files are stored, click one of the options under which folders you want to add?, and then click Next.

  5 navigate in the folders that you want to add by clicking on the - and + buttons, and select the check box next to each folder. (Files in subfolders will be included with your selection).

  6. When you have selected all the folders that you want Windows Media Center to watch, click Next and then click Finish.

  After you have finished adding files, it may take several minutes for the files in the libraries.

  Follow the same steps and add the folders back.

  This will add the files in the order that you have saved on your computer.

  Thank you

• Change the shortcut to open Windows Media Center

  I am often embarrassed by Windows Media Center that opens unexpectedly when I type a shortcut (Windows key + Alt + Enter, I think). I would like to delete this shortcut or replace it with a different combination of keys I would ever use to prevent the program from opening unexpectedly. How can I do this if possible? Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Welcome to the Microsoft community.

  I'm sorry but it is not possible. It's normal.

  Some keyboard keys are universal, and we cannot turn it off.

• How can I use the FM tuner in Windows Media Center?

  Hello world.

  New on the thread.
  Found this site looking for answers to a problem I have. ?:|

  I received my Toshiba Satellite computer as a Christmas gift. I noticed that it is a cool FM tuner.

  I've also been playing with Windows Media Center.
  However, I can't understand how to operate the tuner inside the WMC FM...?

  I added the NXP FM tuner program to the "extras" on WMC, but instead to open the tuner inside the WMC, it just opens the separate program.

  Anyone know how I can use the FM tuner (or another maybe?) inside the WMC?

  Thank you! :)

  Hello

  I have no experience with this because my Satellite doesn't have an FM Tuner but nice talk on it you will find under
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=138027

  If you find the final solution, it will be nice if you can describe an own experience with it. It may be useful to other people here.

  Hi Globaltime,

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  2 are you able to access the programs in the start menu?

  Method 1

   

  Run the fix it available in the below Microsoft article and check if it works.

  When you run an .exe on a Windows Vista-based or Windows 7 computer file, the file may start another program

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950505

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails, then you need restore the file associations for programs that are open with Windows media center.

  Change the programs that Windows uses by default

• Guide to Windows Media Center (Vista x 64) will not download

  The Windows Media Center TV guide stopped downoading automatically. When I try to load it manually nothing happens at all.  The Guide is now Virgin complelety (each channel does say "No data found") so I can't save this upcoing view shows, nothing.

  I found the answer here:

  http://social.technet.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/w7itpromedia/thread/e123068e-8ac4-4e37-AF97-691b408582a6

  In particular, follow these steps:

  This happens because the mcupdate.exe process, downloading tv setup data, is not active which should have run automatically during the installation of the tv. So make a shortcut on the desktop with this path "C:\Windows\ehome\mcupdate.exe-manuel - nogc Pei" and run it. Everything will be fine.
