Changing resolution of 7 Media Center "will not stick.

I use Windows 7 Ultimate connected to a pioneer of 1018 (via HDMI) and then connected to a TV Samsung DLP's (also via HDMI).

Everything works; However, every time I start media center. Media Center change the resolution (1440 X 900, IIRC).  I then go in "TV settings" and reset the 1920 X 1080 resolution.  Then, all right; I can use 7MC without any problem.  When I leave 7MC, my office will look fine (also set at 1920 X 1080).  However, as soon as I restart 7MC, resolution (inside the library) is recovering at 1440 X 900.  It just doesn't "stick", no matter what I change the resolution to (within 7MC), it will not remain persistent between execution of the program.

The graphics card is an ATI 4850, running the latest Catalyst drivers.

If I go to:

HKLM/SW/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version / Media Center / settings / display settings

I can see the resolution. I have change the resolution (inside the MC) and then exit the program. When I look in the key (see above), I see the change in resolution (that I just put in) and the correct settings.

When I then (after closing media library) reboot MC, the resolution changes (inside MC). I immediately see the change of this registry key as well. It's like, when I start Media Center, it goes in and changes automatically of this registry key?

I made a custom resolution (and tried another stock) in order to ensure; nothing seems to have no effect on her; as soon as I pulled out and re - open MC resolution is changed (from everything I put the last time I was there). Also, I tried "re - run the Installer" in Media Center without success. I am connected to the machine on an account with administrator privileges.

It's the BEGINNING of Media Center, that changes the resolution (and registry keys). MC output has no effect on the keys (they maintain the correct values).

Hello

I spent the last month trying to solve this problem, and "youemailme" (another thread here) had the correct solution for me! And so Simple!

With me, what worked were 2 things:

(1) perform the 'clean boot process' as advised by many to determine which granted software was causing the problem... and then.

(2) right click on the name of the program (as discovered in above) 'problem' in the Start Menu > properties > compatibility.  For some reason, there is an option to "run in 640 x 480 screen resolution", which has been verified.  This program was in the startup folder and the cause of the problem.  Then unchecked the resolution box. No problem.

In my view, there are a large number of people dealing with this exact problem. I hope that this process of step 2 could solve their problems.

See you soon

    Help, please!  Why Media Center will not record 30.1 without all this trouble?

    Thank you

    Go to settings-guide-add missing channels. Type in right channel # (like 8.1). Then put in the right frequency for the over-the-air station (35 in my case). You can find this info here (http://www.antennaweb.org/aw/welcome.aspx) if necessary. Now, you will have 2 channels in guide for 8.1 lists. Right-click on the new guide that lists you just create and go change the channel-edit lists. Change the source from the list to the channel that you have problems with. Next pass parameter-signal digital tv signal strength and a Coachman television that did not properly record to remove the Guide channel. This will fix your problem.

    PlayReady in Media Center will not update.  The message is "PlayReady update was incomplete.  "You can watch or save protected content until the update is successful.  All attempts to return the same error.  Netflix also only a black screen shows when you watch a movie.  Live TV works except HBO which is protected against copying.  How can I fix?

    Hi William,.

    Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums.

    From the problem description, I understand that you have problems with the PlayReady Media Center update on Windows 8 computers. I will certainly help you in this regard.

    Try these methods and see if it makes a difference.

    Method 1
    Loan will not update if the date is wrong. I suggest you to check if the system date and time is correct.

    Method 2
    Temporarily disable your firewall settings and check if you are able to update.
    Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.


    Method 3

    Open Windows "Services" via the Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.
    With Media Center open and show "the PlayReady update was incomplete. Do you want to retry? "Go to the 'Services' Panel you just opened and scroll all the way up to"Services Windows Media Center Receiver", double-click it, then click on"Stop ".

    Navigate to the folder ReadyPlay HIDDEN (C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\PlayReady), and then delete the mspr.hds file.

    Return to the OPEN & CONTINUES, Media Center and click 'Yes' and 'Next' to the question of the PlayReady update. He should immediately zip past and say update complete & you can watch and record the protected against copying.

    Carry out these methods and let us know if you need more assistance. I'll be happy to help you.

  • Windows Media Center will not scan digital channels using a dual tuner (analog/digital)

    I have an AverMedia Volar Max tuner which is analog and digital double Windows 7 Professional
    Media Library 'sees' the tuner as an analog tuner and properly identifies all the analog channels, that I see on TV.
    However, none of the digital channels are detected. I have not found a way to "force" a search using QAM256 or any other research of digital formats.   Using the tuner, cable and connections the same BUT with a linux sotware (mythtv) all digital channels have been identified.
    Is the problem because its analog and digital modes? How can I force Media Center to see the digital capacity of the tuner?

    Might have been a better place to look for information on the AverMedia Max Volar tuner AverMedia USA site.

    If you had looked here to find the latest drivers or to read support information, you would have found:

  • Media Center: Will not add folders to the library

    For about a week now through yesterday morning, I had several video files put in place in Media Center: specifically, two folders on local and network disks several (five or six) on records.

    Last night, I went to the video library in Media Center, and it was completely empty. Records and all video files are always accessible through the browser and the network as needed, so I go to Media Center and re-add the same folders. Return to the video library. It is empty. I will go back to the library settings and all defined records are previously selected is no longer! So I go through and add them back. Only to make them all disappear.

    I do this several times, including the second to the last test where I waited in circles and looked at the gauge progress and a total number of 300 + video files displayed. But the library is still empty and not setup all files as added!

    So my last try: I remove all other music and image files and add just a video file. And still no videos!

    I already rebooted once and now I am at a complete loss as to what could be the problem. The files are a mix of .avi (xvid, for the most part), .mkv and .ts who worked before this question last night.

    I said that I should leave the Media Centre, stop the windows media player network service, and then remove windows media player db file. I did all this, restarted the service and then media center, added a video file and guess what? Still no file (or folder) in my Media Center video library.

    What is happening here!

    Edited to add:

    Well, I did a few experiences more.

    In Windows Media PLAYER, I wasn't able to add folder to library video (via organize) it is. However, I was able to add folders to the library in Windows Explorer. I could then drag and drop the Windows Explorer video library in WMP. However, none of this has changed the fact that the video library in Media Center remains empty and I can not add ALL the video files via the parameters.

    In the meantime, I have two choices, I can browse my multimedia files via WMP which is not half bad but I prefer reading via Media Center. so... currently, I navigate through Explorer Windows and Media Center set as default player for all types of video file in the video library of the Explorer.

    However, I would really like this work all through (some) Media Center :)

    I wonder if there might be a corruption of the current library which is not resolved by simply removing the CurrentDatabase_ # .wmdb as suggested earlier.  You see the question even if you plan to display this content in Windows Media Player as well?  If so, in Windows 7, there is an option to rebuild the library.  This is done through Windows Media Player tools > advanced > restore library... menu (an open area along the top or bottom of the drive to find this right click menu).

    Thank you

  • Windows Media Center will not record shows?

    I just brought a new model of the series Gateway ZRX 6971, with touch screen

    I have upgraded to Windows 8 Pro

    Get the free download for Windows Media Center

    Previously recorded shows that has been saved so I still had Windows 7 has played without problems in Windows 8

    However, it won't save poster now because I have "insufficient disk space".

    But I have over 900 GB of free space!

    I tried to tweak the settings in the settings options and even tried to disable recording of HD!

    Still no luck!  Help!

    See my post "Windows 8 - record TV with Windows Media Center problem"

    The answer to my problem is in the penultimate position...

    I managed to solve it now by running a recovery job in the computer management application.

    In case anyone else has this problem, here's what I did:

    1. close Windows Media Center

    2. open the computer management application and navigate to the bottom of the tree in the left panel by selecting system tools-> Task Scheduler-> Task Scheduler Library-> Microsoft-> Windows-> Media Center

    3. at the top, the central panel find the "MediaCenterRecoveryTask" task, which should have a status of "Ready".  Right-click on the task and select run (status changes to "Running")

    4 wait for the task to do his stuff (the status does not change) then right click on the task again and select end (State dates back to "Ready")

    5. open Windows Media Center, which will realize that there is a problem and that it is necessary to rerun the configuration

    After the execution of the task above and completing a successful installer of Windows Media Center, I found I could record once more tv!

    Guess I'll never know exactly what was wrong, but I'll settle for having working again!

    Hope that works for you
