• How can I get files mp4 video to appear in genres other than the kind of 'The other' in Windows Media Center?

  Hello

  I have mp4 video files that I can't to the list under the genres that I want to do in Windows Media Center.

  I have the list of the kind I want them to appear as in the Details section on the right of the video click, but in the movies section, they appear under the type 'other '? Why?

  Do I need a '. '. XML data file"to make it work?

  I noticed all movie files that can take the date meta online have 2 to 3 "." XML files"in their records. These video files appear under the genres as they should.

  I tried to make one. XML file for the video files that can't dry meta data online but they always appear under 'Other' type only.

  I need more than 1. XML meta data file? If I do what they are and how can I do it myself?

  Can someone lead me to a site that explains how all the. Meta data files XML that I need to make this work.

  Thank you

  John

  Hello

  I did a long time ago and it does not help.

  However, I found a solution.

  'Master Media Center' (free version of the program) will download the XML MetaData files and place them in the folder of video/film. This will force even make a MetaData XML file if it cannot find anything online.

  Apparently, Windows Media Center uses XML files to determine what kinds of display movies under.

  Without a metadata file XML Media Center will put the video file in the type 'Other' even if you wrote a kind under details.

  Now, if I can get my Windows Media Center to stop crashing when I open "Movies!

• Windows Media Center lost information Guide for some channels, but it is still on zap2it

  Why Windows Media Center (WMC) is no longer a information Guide for some channels, when she used to have?  WMC uses the information from zap2it.com and zap2it.com still has the elements of programming for these channels.  The Guide has "No data available" for all the hours for these channels.  For Los Angeles area broadcast, channels of first importance are 40.2 by 40.5 (40.1 is very good, as evidenced by the correct include titles and descriptions).

• Loss of signal HDMI in Windows Media Center

  I have a Dell Studio Hybrid PCs only running Windows Vista Home Edition Premium attached to a Samsung LN52A750 LCD HDTV via HDMI. If I turn on the TV away from the PC input and back, I lose the video signal... but only when Windows Media Center is running in full screen.

  It works fine:

  1. Turn on the TV.
  2. Switch to PC input on the TV.
  3. Turn on the PC.
  4. Start Windows Media Center.
  5. Turn off the PC.
  6. Turns off the TV (or switch to a different input).

  This also works very well:

  1. Turn on the TV.
  2. Switch to PC input on the TV.
  3. Turn on the PC.
  4. Start Windows Media Center.
  5. Minimize Windows Media Center.
  6. Turn on the TV to a different entry, but leave the PC.
  7. Turn on your TV to the PC - you see always the computer.

  It does NOT work:

  1. Turn on the TV.
  2. Switch to PC input on the TV.
  3. Turn on the PC.
  4. Start Windows Media Center.
  5. Turn on the TV to a different entry, but leave the PC with Windows Media Center in full screen running .
  6. Try to turn on the TV to the PC - no picture or sound is on the screen and the PC must be restarted to return sound/video fully.

  I came across this problem recently (after the passage of a VGA/DVI to HDMI connection). First of all, I came across it when the PC would go to sleep - the video signal stops and the TV stop see the PC signal, even once the PC is awake. I have read a bit online and thought it was something people call a problem of 'EDID handshake. " I thought simply not let the computer sleep (and do not turn off the PC video) would fix it, but I ran into another issue. Kind of a twist.

  I was showing friends how Media Center worked, I spent in the PC, showed them Windows Media Center, spent in a different entry, then switched back to the PC (because I forgot to show you something). The blue background of Media Center appeared for a split second and the signal was instantly lost. I had to reload completely in order to recover the signal.

  I retried the experience - shot to the top of Media Center, active the TV away from the computer, then it passed right away - same result. Restart lost, hard signal.

  I don't know how I fell on it, but at some point, I had the experience with a twist. I pulled to the top of the computer, started Media Center and reduced. Then I moved the TV away from the PC and back... and the signal was always there. I did it again, and again, the signal was there. The TV turns off and on again - signal always there. Then I enlarged Media Center, changed television away from the PC, and when I came back... NO SIGNAL.

  So: with full-screen Media Center loses the signal, but when Media Center is reduced to a minimum the signal remains.

  I started thinking about how my recent use of the Media Center differed from the previous time. Normally, I use the Media Center, watch a movie or something and then go and do something else. I'm back from PC to something else and back. And every time that I had spent in the PC and he had kept the signal, the screen saver has been on - the screen saver 'bubbles '.

  Something that I noticed with the screensaver "Bubbles" is that it sometimes brings the Windows taskbar in the foreground so it 'up' to the Windows Media Center full screen appears. I usually turn the television on the PC input before "wake the computer" and to get the screensaver to go.

  Now I wonder if the lost signal has something to do with Windows Media Center. I have [I think] know a bit the functioning of Windows and the concept of execution of different 'offices '. I wrote a screensaver in C++ unmanaged long ago and I remember there was some crazy stuff that you have to do when you write an application "windowless" (as Media Center - there is no border around it when it goes full screen) and make the "caches", as the screen saver 'bubbles '. I wonder if he has something to do with the standard Windows Desktop works correctly but the Windows Media Center app full screen "desktop" does not properly.

  I tried another experience where I kept full screen WMC, leave the TV losing signal and press Win + D to minimize and show the desktop. Then I went to the TV in the back. No luck - once the signal has been lost, it was lost for good.

  I did since then research various responses. I read that defining the ACPI suspend mode S3 would fix it, but it doesn't. I tried implementing a keyboard shortcut attached to a script that could change the display resolution of 640 x 480 and then change back because I read changing the resolution to update the signal - which did not work.

  Basically, I got no alternative except to keep WMC reduced when it is not in use.

  I'll try to set the screen saver "Bubbles" to 1 minute or something and see if that will at least let me inputs turn on the TV after one minute of inactivity. Yet, it would be good to know if there is some setting I'm missing.

  Hello Travis and Jmelton98,

  Thank you for posting.  Your tests of Travis and additional post of Jmelton, it seems it will be probably something that only can be set by the video card drivers.  If you were to look at the known issues for some drivers, you would see similar questions types.  It is one of the reasons for the drivers for video cards are updated so often.  Sometimes there will be a problem so important that they will release a special patch to fix (like what happened during the crisis game is released).  There should be a new series of pilots soon become availible.

  Please try and see if the problem persists.  Thank you both for the replies that it will help others too. Zack

• Netflix will not load up to in Windows Media Center more.

  I've had Netflix service for about two months now. Up to two days, I was able to stream movies through Netflix and Windows Media Center option. Now it will not load anything. It will allow me to connect to Netflix, but I can't get something and my instant queue will not charge.

  I get a message stating:

  NO INTERNET CONNECTION:

  The internet connection has been lost. Make sure that your computer is connected to the internet, and then try again.

  Problem is that I'm connected to the internet. (If I was not logged in, they would not connect to Netflix in the first place.)

  I had even gone to the Media Center General settings to test the internet connection and it says that the internet actually works.

  What is going on? I missed something?

  KC

  You can try a system restore on the eve of the update has been installed and see if
  the problem is resolved. Nothing in the update that fell from Netflix,
  but you can certainly try a restore. A restore is a good troubleshooting step
  for beginners.

• 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!

• "Windows Media Center is not installed correctly and must be reinstalled"

  I am running Windows XP Media Center Edition and Windows Media Center gives me an error that reads "Windows Media Center is not installed correctly and must be reinstalled." When I try to install Windows Media Player from the Microsoft website I gives me an error saying I need to download "Update cumulative 2 for Windows XP Media Center Edition". Once I have download, I get a different error message indicating that I have to download '.NET Framework 1.1 and .NET Framework 1.2 SP1' before I can continue with the update for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. I download that and received a message that is not a valid Win32 application. I can not understand what is happening or how to fix it. I thought about uninstalling and reinstalling, but over the years, I lost track of the product key.  Does anyone know how can I fix? Thank you, in advance.

• Windows Media Center almost completely broken and ehRec.exe take 50% CPU

  My windows media center is broken. Part, but probably not all, the problem is ehRec.exe uses up to 50% of the CPU, which means that it is completely connected because I have a computer with dual-core CPU.

  Do not record scheduled recordings. Sometimes, I can't even in media center. It becomes inadmissible. Usually just after a reboot, I can enter (which starts the record if we were waiting) but not if I first have to do other things. It seems that my media center just kaput.

  I got this incomprehensible message in the case where the application log

  The description for the event (0) in Source (Media Center Scheduler) ID is not found. The local computer may not have the information necessary registry or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the option/auxsource = flag to retrieve this description; For more information, see Help and Support. The following information is part of the event: unable to write the backup file...

  There is not any other journal entries of interest, with the exception of those who say that I started a record while the show was in progress. I get those now, when I start media center just after the restart, because he wasn't already record where it should be.

  EhRec.exe sometimes stop looping. Not this time. It was looping when I started to write this and it's always a loop.

  Is it possible to reinstall completely media library? I tried to run Setup, but it blocks half the time with ehRec.exe pounding to the CPU. I see that other people have the problem of ehRec.exe (beginning around mid-August), but it doesn't seem to be a real solution to this problem.

  Remove any recent update of microsoft .net framework. I had this problem several times. The first time, he ended up reinstalling the entire system. Although I suspect that the recent update of the .net framework is the culprit, I was not skilled enough to remove it first.  This time I look for answers elsewhere and no one really had a clue. Then I removed the .net framework 4 client update and voila, problem solved. I hope it will work for you, if you don't have not messed around first with other parts of the system too. I tried scannow /sfc solution, but really... This only works if you have the most recent operating system on the disk. Many have download updates, service pack, Microsoft and therefore, cannot provide a disk with the appropriate files. Anyway, it is not the solution. Apparently, the way of downloading these updates of .net framework is important. I don't know the solution for a correct installation of updates, but do not know that the 50% CPU problem is solved EVERY time, repealing the last update. Hope this helps someone. I have certainly spent enough time and lost enough when microsoft updates, disable the operation of my computer. Unfortunately, it's the solutions we try that sealed the fate of our readers. I lost 15mos of professional documents in my records of e-mail in September of my attempts stupid to solve this problem, after that a previous update of .net framework caused my duty reinsall windows.

• Problems with Windows Media Center cumulative update 2

  Hello

  I tried to set up my xbox360 to work with windows media center.  Whenever I try to install the Update Rollup 2, he created a restore point and as soon as he arrives to install the fix, says installation failed and my computer must be restarted or something to that effect.  I did some research and found the threads on the .NET framework 1.1 Hotfix and checked for her and she does not appear in my programs add/delete, menu, so I don't think that may be worth.    It drives me crazy, any help would be appreciated seriously.

  Yes - you will need to reinstall Windows to fix.  And, Yes, you will need to backup your data first and reinstall all your programs later.

  I'll post instructions later tonight (they are on a machine at home).  In the meantime, now is a good time to start copying all your data to elsewhere.

  Kind regards

• 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!
