Media Center is planning a record but didn't and defer to a later date.

Windows XP Media Center 2005 has been in place. 1st symptom was that it would block when calling my TV (usually just sitting on my TV).  Sometimes, he reached the following menu, but will not charge recorded TV or records on demand (just sitting with 'circle' symbol circling).  Discovered that sometimes if I end task through the Task Manager and restart and then not choose my TV but using the shortcut for Live TV I can sometimes get Live TV, sometimes it crashes with 'circle' symbol encircling.  Pointed out that memory almost full (indication AnVir Task Manager).

After reboot, all usually (not always) is clear and that is running. with Media Center.  After reboot, I sometimes have a monitor that is not turn off as it is supposed to (hard drives are supposed to be off, but I haven't checked that)-requires a reset forever and at 10 min., working for the monitor, but still does not go on standby after 15 minutes.

All the foregoing is symptomatic with Media Center (usually) works after the restart.  Media Center records sometimes and sometimes does not.  When it does not usually record it defers to a later date, if available, otherwise no recording until then is a guide and it as if by magic reappears, postponed.

The second tuner (usually used for recording) records while TV Live is on but if scheduled recording is not as long as Media Center is running she sometimes record and this is sometimes not.

    Hi mcfat,.

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    (1) you get an error during the download?

    For now I suggest you to download the latest announcements of guide manually and see if it gives any error or that the download is finished successfully.

    Follow the steps below to download the lists guide manually.

    You can configure Windows Media Center Guide lists auto update, but you can also download the latest Guide information manually.

    Method 1:

    1. on the start screen, go to tasks, click settings, click TV, click Guide, and then get latest Guide listings.

    2. When prompted, select Yes to begin to download the Guide listings. You are notified when the update of the Guide is complete. You can continue to use Windows Media Center and the Guide while new Guide information is being downloaded.

    Access the link below for more information on the above steps.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/download-updated-Guide-listings-in-Windows-Media-Center

    If you have any question by downloading manually too, then try Method 2 and see if that can deal with the issue.

    Method 2:

    (1) close Media Center
    2) click on the start menu, choose run and type cmd
    (3) run the command regsvr32.exe atl.dll
    (4) run the command C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehSched /unregServer

  • I have Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 with Service Pack 3 and I tried to run Media Center but I get an error message with ehshell.exe.

    original title: error with ehshell.exe

    I have Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 with Service Pack 3 and I tried to run Media Center but I get an error message with ehshell.exe. Could you help me?

    This problem exists since the 1st Media Center. SP2 and SP3 had a difficulty, but it is obvious that it doesn't always. The same problem still exists in Vista today with a lot of other carried over from XP. System restore would work, but you do not have any good restore points so reinstall an operating system seems to be your only option.

    You probably don't want to do an OS reinstall you need for Media Center, but since it does not at all, you might want to play then remove the Media Center updates and or SP3 and reinstall them.

  • Media Center not display or record one channel. Signal OK

    I have an ATI tuner card in a desktop under Vista Home Premium PC.  When I run Setup of Media Center, he finds all the channels.  When I select in this case channel 56.1 (or 56.2 and 56.3) I get nothing.  As a result, I can't save this channel either.  I'm in the Los Angeles area, with a roof antenna, the signal strength is not the problem.

    If I use the ATI application, the channel comes very well and records too.

    I have a laptop running Windows 7.  I just bought a key USB from Hauppauge.  Windows Media Center detects all channels, and on this configuration, I can view 56.1 etc..  BUT, when I select a program to record from the EPG, it not save and give an error message that there is no signal.  If I look at the same channel when a record event program starts, the screen goes black, and the level of the signal LED on the USB turns off.

    As with the other computer, the application supplied with the device works very well on the channel in question.

    On both computers, I tried to manually add the channel (the physical channel is 32), no luck.  All the other channels, with the exception of the 56 works very well.

    My conclusion is that the electronic Program Guide to be a mistake for this channel.  As it does on two different computers with two different tuners, two different antennas and all other channels work fine, I don't see how it could be a hardware problem.

    For any help or suggestions would be most appreciated!

    Hello

     
     
    Method 1:
    You can also create a new user account with administrative privileges and try to save channel in Windows Media Center. If it works fine, it means that the other user account is damaged.

    Method 2:
    If the problem persists, you can try the steps and check:
    a. go to settings-guide-add missing channels.
    b. type in right channel # (like 8.1).
    c. then put in the right frequency for the station live.
    d. 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.
    e. can change the list source to the channel that you have problems with. Then go to tv setting-tv digital signal signal strength.
    f. then UN check channel which did not properly record to remove it from the guide.

  • Media Center won't play recorded video

    All my recordings are protected recorded video HBO on my hard drive of the PC. When I read them to my PC using Windows Media center only monitor, all play. When I use a USB to HDMI converter directly to my TV, some of them play, but some give me the error "display drive errors: video playback device does not support protected content playback. Since it is a direct connection to my TV from my PC where are stored the videos, I don't understand why this is not allowed. Is anyway to get Media center to recognize this device? Is there another device that works? This can be corrected. Do I have to use an Extender?

  • Windows Media Center won't play video, but Windows Media Player will be?

    I'm reading a video .avi with the xvid codec. I installed the codec earlier and it plays fine in Windows Media Player, but when I try to play in Windows Media Center, it indicates that one or more codecs are required to play this file, but they cannot be found. I know I would just watch with Windows Media Player instead of Media Center, but I want to watch it on my Media Center extension (my Xbox). I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate, 64-bit. Why does Windows Media Player with this codec and Windows Media Center not work? How can I solve this problem?

    -Slick05_1

    Hi Slick05_1,

    Thanks for the replies on the forum.

    Given that the Microsoft Vista Media Center and XBOX do not play the files suggest it would need to be a codec which solves the problem or maybe file conversion which would solve the problems you are experiencing.  Since the codecs for files is not something written by Microsoft, we do not have the information for that in our system.

    What I suggest is to go to your search engine preferred and in the search line and typing "is possible to play VLC on XBOX.

    WARNING:

    Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

    What I suggest also done an online search using your favorite search engine for "play MKV files in Vista x 64 Media Center" to find whether there may be suggestions about codecs or these codecs created by other organizations then Microsoft.

    Please let us know if you are able to get this to work for you.

    I am trying to use my Media Center on my Xbox - but I am unable to get the videos to play, other than the native codecs from Microsoft.

    Now, if I connect to Media Center on the Xbox and go through the video dashboard they play all since I have sharing enabled on WMP11. But it is not useful.

Does anyone have this problem or any idea of a solution?
