How to load Microsoft Media Center TV from inside the Touchsmart request

Hello

I would like to be able to run Microsoft Windows Media Center of the Touchsmart software, however I don't seem to be able to add the Windows Media Center application to the list of "Targets" Touchsmart, in fact I thought that this would be already listed as target - but is not...

In the case, I tried to add it manually in my target field but I get an error in pink bounce foolishly saying

"The target entry is not valid. If please check spelling and re-enter the target. »

Here's what I did and would expect it to work, but don't - mind if I get this you right from the start-> execute command or in a shortcut, the command works, it loads and runs the TV without going through the Media Center Start menu...

In Touchsmart app,...

1. click on customize

2. click on add a tile...

3. click on the type of program, and then click Next button

4. in the type of field target in:

C:\Windows\EHOME\EHSHELL. EXE /HOMEPAGE:VideoFullscreen.XML /PUSHSTARTPAGE:TRUE

5. in name, enter "TV".

6. choose an icon in the icon list

7. click on OK

(Here is where I get the mentioned error)

Thanks in advance...

Laptop HP ENVY 17-j005tx, HP ENVY 27 - k001a, HP ProLiant MicroServer Gen8 G2020T, HP MediaSmart EX495 Server tilt, HP MediaVault 2020, HP ENVY 120 AiO Printer

In fact, I think I solved the problem!

I created a link shortcut on my desktop with the command line and then instead to enter the command line for the target to step 4, I entered the link shortcut instead, for example I created the shortcut first and placed it on my desktop with the following command line:

C:\Windows\EHOME\EHSHELL. EXE /HOMEPAGE:VideoFullscreen.XML /PUSHSTARTPAGE:TRUE

I named the abbreviation "TV".

In step 4, I entered the target manually as:

C:\Users\Jim\Desktop\TV.lnk

And then the rest of the steps, now I see the tile in Touchsmart and I am able to run the TV in Media Center live!

But I still don't understand why Microsoft Media Center is not listed in the default target list...

Cheers... (Yay for me lol)

After each step, Open Media Center and try to view or to set up live TV. Continue following the steps until the error no longer appears and you can watch TV:
    1. If you use a cable of the card and the computer resumes from a standby or standby mode, wait at least 20 seconds before starting any software that uses the tuner, including Windows Media Center.
    2. restart the computer to Resync to Media Center driver:
    a. Click Start.
    b. click on the arrow in the toolbar and then click on restart.
    c. wait that Windows and all startup items load before you open Windows Media Center.
    3. If you have added a new tuner card, make sure that the tuner card is compatible with Windows 7 Premium or Ultimate. Search for certified for Windows 7 on the product packaging or consult the following website to check the compatibility:

    2. If your computer came with Windows 7 Premium and a tuner, reinstall the drivers for the tuner. Click Start, all programs, Recovery Manager, and then click Recovery Manager again.
    If you are prompted, click Yes to continue.
    3. in the Recovery Manager screen, click the hardware driver reinstallation and follow the on-screen instructions to restore the tuner driver.

    How to get windows media Center in windows developer preview?

    Media Center has been temporarily removed from the Windows 8 Developer Preview. It will be added in the scheduled beta end February 2012.

    Quote:
    Media Center

    While not a central theme of your comments, I have received about 50 emails about Media Center. I would like to reassure customers that Media Center will certainly be part of Windows 8. No doubt about it. Knowing how strong the support of Media Center is between the testers of the preliminary version, we still have to do to ensure quality and compatibility with supplements is what you expect still in pre-release (as for any version of Windows, compatibility is an important effort, and when we work on the underlying video engine (for example, make sure that the features that push these areas receive adequate coverage).

  • I'm trying to connect my xbox live to my files. How to make Windows Media Center?

    I am trying to connect my files from my account to xbox live.  I was trying to figure out how, and he said that I needed Windows Media Center.  It doesn't even look like my Windows XP offers.  I can't find anyway.  Can I add my system?  Is that going to even to allow me to access my files?  Any help would be appreciated.
    LG

    Hope this helps ;) I know that it is a complicated process and I understand the House will network computers running the Media Center. If you click on the following link, you should be able to determine if you have any problems of compatibility http://support.xbox.com/en-us/pages/xbox-360/troubleshoot/media-center-faq.aspx

    I strongly recommend to contact Xbox customer service because they have a specialized department set up just to manage customers to help with the implementation and use of the Media Center/Media Extender services available.

    However, here is an overview of some of the basics to have this work:

    Some with Media Center PC/Windows versions are:

    • Windows 7 Home Premium or full, professional edition
    • Windows Vista Ultimate or Home Premium
    • Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005

    Once the media center is installed on the pc, you must configure the xbox as a Media Extender and authorizes.

    Finally, you need to add a network share connection between your console and your pc. This process can be a little intimidating, once again, I recommend that you contact customer service with the help of an expert in the Media Center .

    Good luck!

  • How to uninstall windows media center?

    How to uninstall windows media center? It keeps opening up, and I can't open all the files, pls help...

    See - http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/15530/uninstall-disable-or-remove-windows-7-media-center/ - perhaps?

    But if she "continues to open and you cannot open all files" maybe something is seriously wrong somewhere else. If he goes much evil that is, no file opens, then when it started to happen? It has been recently? you got whatever it is installed again just before the problem occurred? If then possibly consider to delete that or try a "restore point" at one point, just before the error started.

  • Media Center will not recognize the internal TV tuner from Sony

    Original svl24 title: sony + tv tuner + multimedia
    Win7 Media center won't recognize the internal tv tuner Sony (Bravia). The installation program rises "tv tuner" not found. What is interesting, is that Sony SVL24 can detect and be able to use the TV without Media center option.  Anyone have a solution?

    you have a link to your model of machine somewhere on the Sony site? the info I have
    found the third sites indicates that there is no accessible software
    TV for Media Center tuner. This information shows that you can watch TV without the
    computer is turned on.
     
    To me, this indicates that the TV tuner is the type that you would have in normal
    only TV (which is not capable of Media Center) support.
     
    You can probably add a USB tuner to this all-in-one and watch/record TV via
    Media Center, but it doesn't look like the 'tuner' in your computer is a
    "computer" tuner

  • Security Suite blocking Windows Media center to connect to the Extender

    I was initially a little happy home network with an xbox 360, a wired router and my pc under Windows 7 ULT(64bit) Norton 360 AV. During my AV license expires, I downloaded the version of my ISP (Norton Security Suite 4) to replace.

The Norton software has a different interface for the administration of the rules and I saw not a place where you can designate which programs can access which ports.

  • How to speed up film clip from inside the container file?

    I created a Flash file (which I will call 'film 1') in which a clip was inserted. When I play the whole record, the clip rotates too slowly for my taste, but I noticed that if I go in the original movie clip file (I'll call "movie 2") to slow down and save it, back to the movie 1 and update the clip are impossible due to a motion tween that is bad (no idea about the solution which).

    Is it possible to speed up the clip from inside the 1 movie? A kind of script tool or simple? I am a newbie to Flash and maybe there's an easy solution for it. Otherwise I set Movie 2, export it and re-import them inside the 1 film until I am satisfied with the result.

    the code below the dotted line adds two new method movieclips, playF() and stopF(). the first allows you to play the m frame movieclip to frame images per second fps n (forwards or backwards).

    (for the control of accuracy (then), I have another code autocorrecteur to maintain a precise tempo.)

  • Is it supposed to be a rattle from inside the phone?

    Got a Defy a few weeks ago. Love it until yesterday when I suddenly cant' hear someone on a phone call and only the speaker/headphone works (like make a few posts down). Back to T-mobile tomorrow.

    However, my phone has a deaf/rattle sound from inside the phone when you shake it, and you can feel something moving inside. I thought it was something to do with sensors/accelerometers in the phone or something, but now the internal speaker is broken I wonder if it is supposed to do this or if she actually always a hardware problem.

    Phone of someone else than the same noise/do the same thing? Is it supposed to do this or not?

    -Daniel

    There should not be a rattle... but there is!

    I have the same problem. It is caused by the battery move when you shake the phone, it doesn't have a tight fit. I used a piece of foam under the battery very thin to stop this rattle noise. Not impressed!

    You will see on these forums that some users have had problems with defective headphones... so far I did not have this.

    Hope that such Defys won't suffer from bad workmanship I really like the phone.

    Check your battery by shaking the phone with the cover off... let me know how you go.
