Configuration of the console Xbox 360 for attach to Windows Media Center

I'm following the steps to connect my Windows 7 Media Center to my Xbox 360 Elite. When I try to download http://www.xbox.com/pcsetupsoftware, I get a page "in search of something to Xbox.com".  Any ideas what should be the correct url?

Hello.

Don't bother to go on the site, all the software you need is included in Windows Vista/7.  Just open Media Center and go to add Extender and follow the steps on the screen.

  • 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.

  • Stop the mouse pointer to show more of Windows Media Center

    Original title: Windows Media Center

    Hello

    Is there a way to stop the mouse pointer to show more of Windows Media Center, other than moving it?

    I note that adobe flash player can do it in a web page, then why not an 'entire' application such as Windows Media Center?

    Thank you

    Hi hiphoppoprock,

    In Windows Mode, the pointer in Windows Media center is designed to be displayed.

    In order to have the pointer automatically disappear you need to change the Mode full screen.

  • Network adapter wireless Xbox 360 for use in Windows 7 64 bit?

    I had a load of questions to try to locate the driver for the xbox 360 Wireless network adapter to use on my 64-bit windows computer 7. Is there a rare pilot that I've simply not found? or is there something entirely inconsistent with a material more old xbox 360? (The wireless card is USB and was purchased before the new black slim xbox 360 was introduced, back when is is big heavy and white)

    Basically, I want the network card to give me a wireless connection to my router so I can move this PC in another room without the need of an Ethernet cable.

    The XBox 360 Wireless network adapter seems to work only with the corresponding XBox 360 game console.  Microsoft seems to be releasing a Windows driver.

    However, you should be able to find a completely Windows 7 compatible wireless adapter that must be connected to a USB port.

    In addition, you can add an access port 'Wireless' that will add wireless networks to a router not wireless.

  • Gamepad Xbox 360 for Windows pc freezing when the vibration is enabled

    Anyone know a fix for this, whenever I have the vibration turned on for any game using the controller Xbox 360 for Windows (by cable), it freezes the game and I can't get my PC to respond again by disconnecting the controller.

    This occurs if the game supports natively the 360 controller or not.

    Games question until now:

    Dead Space
    Dead Space 2
    LIMBO
    Tomb Raider: Legend

    Deactivation of the vibration in one of these games feature solves the problem, but does anyone know a solution where I'd be able to use the vibration?

    The problem you are experiencing may be caused by the power of the amount needed when the vibration is enabled. I had the problem on my old PC, that when I used my controller, my sound would play as the speakers had holes in them and that the game would freeze-freeze-start. The Xbox 360 controllers use 500mA, which is over the limit that provides a USB port. With this audio device, a keyboard and a mouse together via a USB port, which is an aspiration constant quite heavy on the USB supply rail.
    I fixed it by getting a small USB 7 port hub which is outwardly the power (this is important) and plug my controller. This way he can draw the entire, there need without slipping down the USB ports attached to the motherboard. Just be sure it's a hub with an external power supply.

  • 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.

    Hello chisox05matt,

    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers Site.

    You can check with the device manufacturer for more information about recording and playback. This can occur if the video was recorded in landscape mode. Try to change the display or orientation in software video editing for playback in Windows Media Center or Windows Media player.

    In addition, you can also see the thread below that contains information about a similar problem.

  • Video error: the files needed to display video are not installed or not working not properly. Please restart Windows Media Center...

    Please help - it's driving me crazy! I got this to work!

    I am using Vista Ultimate and a connection (cat-5) ethernet to an xbox 360 as a Media Extender (via a Linksys router). I get the error of the video:
    "The files needed to display video are not installed or not working not properly." Please restart Windows Media Center or restart the computer "."

    I have a Happauge PVR 150 TV capture card installed, and you want to watch TV and my video files Via the Xbox 360. I can see the guide for lists of TV programs, but not to look at them without getting the message above.  I can also put in place a program to record, display the video thumbnail, but not play. Video files only will play are videos very select few years recorded only where there is.

    My graphics card is an ATI 2900XT - 512 MB of ram, with the latest drivers.

    I've seen a number of discussions on the web that describes the same (or similar) problem, but none of them seem to have no solution.

    I had Norton Internet Security installed and it has since withdrawn because of the firewall. I had thought, it could be a firewall issue, but it is not. I'm now using the Windows Firewall for now.

    I deleted and reinstalled the Xbox as an Extender media several times... no help. I have re-installed the complete drivers for the video capture card, it has not helped either. I checked and double-checked the settings on my router as well.

    The xbox is set for the share on my multimedia computer. The correct files can also be programmed for sharing.

    On the PC in Windows Media Center, I can view the TV programs, record programs etc etc etc all work.

    Any help would be really appreciated!

  • Where is the Windows Media Center in Windows 8/How do I use the TV card in my new Win 8 PC

    I just bought a new HP ENVY h8 - Office 1500 t and I ordered a TV card in option.

    The operating system is Windows 8, my old PC is running Vista.

    There is no instructions on how to configure the TV. My old PC used Windows Media Center for TV operations. Apparently, there is no Media Center application in Windows 8. If there is, I can't find it.

    There is an app called Huppage TV, but there is no instructions. Help!

    Hello

    Microsoft is not delivered WMC with 8 Windows including Windows 8 Pro. Windows 8 Pro, too late to get a free copy now, you buy. For normal Windows 8, you must pay to go to Pro first, then pay for WMC.

    Kind regards.
