Media Center crashes when starting a movie from netflix

I have seen this problem with many X 64 now users of systems. Netflix in windows media center crashes when you click on the beginning of the game film. Seems to be a X 64 system problem. All the patches yet? I saw a large number of entries of "try this" but I haven't seen any which have resulted in a solution,
Thanks for any help on what I would use netflix inside the WMC if possible.

Hi all

It is a known problem with Netflix in Windows Media Center. It is caused by the presence of a very long user agent string in Internet Explorer. For more information about the agent user channels, see the following MSDN article. There is currently no supported workaround by modifying manually the user agent string can cause problems of compatibility with some Web sites.

    the card and the drivers with and without the software. Here is a copy of a report of error 1001

    Hi Davidn4,

    Thanks for posting on answers.microsoft.com community forum.

    An event that I did research I found this instance occurred on another system, and this is what has been the instance;

    "

    Whenever you select live TV in Windows Media Center, it is as he tries to access the TV tuner card, but it times out. I have the Hauppauge WinTV-PVR150, Media Center Kit for the PCI slot. When she finally leaves tries to display the TV it says "Decoder error" and "video decoder is either defective or is not installed." Restart the computer or Windows Media Center. "

    "

    Because your system is not allowing the error before the reading of the reboot of the system.

    We download the Vista decoder for and then try it to run your process again.

    Here's a general link for set-top boxes, however, you can go to the website of cards and looking for the decoder from here or try a search online because it is decoder Vista.  Don't forget no decoders are not usually created by Microsoft, and we can not guarantee the results of third party downloads or the stability of your system after such a transfer, so be careful when downloading from other sites.

    Please let us know if there are any necessary information or if that solves the problem.

    Thanks again for posting on our forum.

    Hello

    You will remember to do recent changes on your computer before this problem?
    Disabling Mcupdate.exe scheduled task has allowed little to resolve this issue. You can also try turning it off and check for the issue.
    Method 1: Disabling Mcupdate.exe scheduled task.
    1. click on start.
    2. in the search box, type Task Scheduler.
    3. under programs, click Task Scheduler.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.
    4. in the navigation pane, expand Task Scheduler Library, expand Microsoft, expand Windows and then click on Media Center.
    5. in the details pane, right-click right mcupdate and then click on disable.

    Method 2: Rebuild the Media Center data store and see if that can solve the problem. To do this, follow these steps:

    a. exit any running instance of Windows Media Center.
    b. remove the mcepg2 - 0.db file. By default, this file is located in the following location:
    %SystemDrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\eHome\mcepg2-0.DB
    To remove the file, follow these steps:
    i. click on start, type % systemdrive%\programdata\microsoft\ehome, and then press ENTER.
    II. in the details, click pane right mcepg2 - 0.db and then click on remove.
    III. click Yes to confirm that you want to move the file mcepg2 - 0.db to the trash.
    This file will be automatically created once you restart windows media center.

  • Media Center crashes when configuring the TV signal

    I bought a new computer there with Windows 8 (64-bit) a month and set at level to Pro pack for the Media Center. I use a TV HDHomerun tuner that is connected to the network that worked fine on my old machine of Windows 7 and Windows 8 new machine until this week.  I noticed that a show than I had expected did not record.  I found that Media Center did not find a signal.  When I started the process of signal TV Media Center froze.  After several trials, Media Center not continue and set up a TV signal.  I get a popup that says that Media Center has stopped working and closes.  I also received an error in Media Center indicating that Media Center has encountered a serious problem.

    I searched for this resolution and have not found one. I tried a clean boot and received the same error and crash.  I uninstalled Media Center, then reinstalled, which did not work. I also deleted files of database to let Media Center rebuild, which also did not work.  SFC \scannow comes out with no error.
    Can someone help me please?  I feel I lost the $100 for the Media Center of the Pro Pack.  All of this worked smoothly in Windows 7.  That's happened?

    If I can add my two cents to this, even if the thread is a year old, I have two tuners TV, one by HP and DIAMOND.  The DIAMOND is new and has not been tested with Win7, but the HP tuner worked fine with Windows 7, and it worked with Windows 8.1... once.  Now, whenever I try to use Windows Media Center to put in place my TV signal or watching television, the receiver service crashes, restarts and continues to hang until I have leave any action calls this service.

    The Compatibility Center said that the DIAMOND tuner is compatible with Win8.1, but not the HP tuner.  However, the computer is a HP.

    EDIT: Look in the event viewer and all ehRecvr.exe accidents are related to C:/Windows/SYSTEM32/vorbis.acm.  This file is associated with FL Studio.  I renamed the file vorbis.acm.bak and tried again, and made me the error.

  • Qosmio G20 Media Center crashes when using video or TV

    Since April 2006 whenever I try to use the Media Center it crashes when I try to play a DVD or to use the TV. It seems to be a video display problem.
    Can someone advise me on this?

    Hello

    This problem occurs since the first day of the purchase of the laptop?
    Did you install any codec's or 3rd applications?
    It's not easy to say why it happens, but if you think that it s a display driver problem then you can try to update the graphics driver.
    If it doesn t help it would be very interesting to know if this happens on the laptop picked up fresh.

  • Media Center crashes when I go to the TV recording.

    I went back to a restore point when I'm sure I could use this program... the same problem.  It seems stuck at loading and when I decide to remove alt, I receive a notice of accident and the screen goes black.  If the TV was at the time, the sound continues.  Can anyone help?  I see the other answer that not did not help me.  I can't find an update for media center, hoping that was the problem.  I have Windows XP computer which means something different.  Thank you.

    Thanks you two.  It happened whenever I went on television, record.  One of the fields has been pinned, it does not matter which and would freeze the screen.  The small cirlce would continue to scroll as if it was looking with the mouse or the keyboard would not work. Finally, I get a message that the media center had crashed and an error report is sent.  Out of frustration yesterday morning, I have reset media center, no help.  I then remembered that I had deleted silverlight the other day, as I did not so he can be installed.  Maybe my husband said 'yes' to this program.  I reinstalled silver light and low and behold... Media Center works great!  Why?  Don't know and don't really care, it's recording and I can schedule other programs or watch recorded those.  I am happy!  Thanks for your interest.  Darby

Problem event name: APPCRASH. Application name: EHShell.exe I'm looking for suggestions that might solve this problem.

    1] updated TV Tuner card driver. Visit the manufacturer's Web site and download and install the latest driver.

    About two weeks ago (about 9/30; "I think that was a day after an MSE update), my Xbox 360 suddenly stopped recognizing my Windows Media Center PC. When I would try to set up my Extender, she would get to the first step before you give me an error "cannot set up Extender. I checked to make sure that all services were running, the firewall allowed programs through and so on, but kept getting the same error.

    About a week after that, the error "Cannot set up Extender" has been replaced with an error "Windows Media Center has stopped working". It reads: "a problem caused blocking the program works correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. "He was giving me this error whenever I try to add the extension since last week.
    I tried disabling my firewall, WCM via the Control Panel, delete the mcepg2 file in the eHome folder, rename the eHome folder, remove mediacenteredatastore.db, tries to connect via another user and all other solutions I found on the forums of uninstalling/reinstalling.

    I can connect to Netflix and discover my queue and all the rest. I can view the details of the episodes and so forth, but when I click on 'Play', Windows Media Center crashes and restarts itself - every time.

    There are other problems in Windows Media Center. Sometimes it freezes during the display of other media, such as Internet TV. I had my computer more than a year, and this is the first time I tried to use Windows Media Center, so I don't know if it worked before.

    I tried to find an update for it, but all that I've tried say that it applies to my system. (I always install the automatic updates). I also ran the Fix It program, which says it completed, but which did not help.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi farrelldoc,

    2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    3. what Microsoft fixit did you run on the computer?

    There is a known issue on some computers that have a chain very long user agent in Windows Internet Explorer. This problem occurs when the user-agent string exceeds 260 characters. There is currently no work around supported for that matter.
