• How to stop the indexing of media files in Windows Media Center Xbox 360 extender?

  I have successfully set up the Xbox 360 Windows Media Center and attaches it to a machine Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit on the same LAN segment.  It works fine, except that he rebuilt his index from scratch, apparently file whenever it is launched on the Xbox.  Specifically, if the Xbox is turned off and then turned back on, and WMC on that is launched, the files in the folder of the Windows 7 machine media library are indexed again).  This makes WMC on Xbox almost unusable, because it forces you to wait a long time for the UI to become sensitive, whenever it is launched after turning on the Xbox.

  This doesn't seem to be a network problem, as I've reconfigured it all the senses (wired and wireless), network setting tool reports always excellent results, and once the index file is rebuilt files media play very well.

  I tried to reduce the number of files in the files of 'library' of the media on the Windows 7 machine and were reduced to a single folder in which the files do not change (that is, the files are added, deleted or changed between Xbox WMC launches).

  This behavior is normal?  Is it possible to change it?  I can't find the settings on the Xbox that control it.

  The local network segment is on the Internet, and the Windows 7 machine had all updates applied from the time of this post.  The Xbox is the new Xbox 360 4 gig, with more than 2 GB of free space on the internal memory and another 8 GB of free space on MU.

• How to reinstall Windows XP media center

  I have an old computer with windows xp media Center is installed. I'm looking to build upon after sitting unused for over a year so I want to do a new installation. I also think that the hard drive is running out (maybe why I stopped using it) because it makes a very loud grinding noise when used so I have a spare hard drive to swap in.

  It includes a hard disk recovery partition and I have the license for it, both on the side of the case and from the registry.

  How can I reinstall the operating system on the new drive?

• Canadian station guide listings in Media Center

  I use Media Center for quite some time now watch television in Blaine, WA, 98230. The TV in Media Center guide works well. There were about 5 digital visible Canadian stations compared to a visible American station. But when Canadians arrested tranmitting analog TV on 01/09/2011, they also changed their frequencies on some of their digital stations.  Zap2it (the company that assembles the Media Center guide) did not have this solved yet. Because they have bad matches between stations, I was able to add 2 Canadian workstations to the Media Center. There are 7 entry in my computer when I use different software to analyze and visualize.  Media Center is an excellent program, but became unusable for TV applications for where I'm located.

• Vista Ultimate 64 Media Center Guide showing now "No Data available" on all THE TRACKS!

  At Microsoft, Please will someone give me a solution to this? I see other users having the same problems, but none of the solutions have worked on my system.

  Problem: The guide in my Vista Ultimate 64 Media Center went to the indication "No Data available" on two large local stations to show on all THE stations, making it unusable guide and the Media Center unprogrammable.
  The Media Center and the Guide were great features and additions to my ATSC OTA television until mid-June, when this two station (and their substrings) launches it first stood. Now it's total.

  I downloaded both MCETVPack Windows6. 0-KB966315-x 64.msu and Windows6. 0-KB967632-x 64.msu , but the TWO open a dialog box reading "this update does not apply to your system."

  I tried to configure my TV options in Media Center repeatedly, but this does not change a thing.

  Please give me a solution that works with my system.

  Hi John Pendleton.

  Please check that the updates of windows are installed on the computer, including service packs.

  I would like for you to try the following steps as well:

  Go to the media guide and select the channel that you have a problem with.

  Make sure that you can recover the programs before performing this procedure, because if you cannot receive the programs you won't have the registration guide either.

  Open the Program Guide and navigate the Canal problem.  Right click on the channel of the problem and choose settings.  Then click TV, click Guide, and then add announces to the channel, click the channel of problem and change to one of the channels below the list (for example, 4Music).

  Click Save button. Now click on the channel you selected (for example 4Music) and repeat the procedure but cela suite scroll delay to find the channel of problem.

  Click on save and go on the media guide and registration should now appear.   If this is successful, you will need to perform this procedure for the other channels as well.  Check if the guide works correctly.  Let us know the results in your response.

  I hope this information is useful.

• Media Center crashes during video playback of need to hard reboot.

  Hi, any help would be greatly appreciated as this has been driving me crazy for several days of attempted troubleshooting, Googling, try many things to fix it... first of all let me apologize in advance for the length of my post but I wanted to give as much information as possible to help anyone trying to rule out things...!

  OK, so the problem...

  I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit as a clean install on my HTPC, after the first do a complete 1 & 0 format of the hard drive that had previously installed Vista Home Premium, installation went well and I proceeded to install all updates to Windows, and then update drivers for all my hardware.

  The system is used only as a HTPC, it's my only TV and video playback device, (so reliability is essential for me) and it is connected to a defintion of Sony, 44 "Widescreen Rear Projection TV Standard, via S-video, with audio goes to a system DD/DTS 5.1 Surround Sound Speaker Logitech z5500, via a sound card by using the optical cable (specifications of the complete system below).  The system worked flawlessly more of one year using Vista SP1 32 - bit, until I upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate on the hardware configuration identical.

  Since installing Windows 7, it worked fine for the first week, not a single problem, I am housebound are disabled so that the system is in continuous service 24/7 and he had no problems in the first 10 days, however all of a sudden I'm getting now random freezes requiring a hard reset , but it occurs during video playback of any of my 3 hard disks, or when you try to play a DVD in Media Center. Which led me to think it is associated video (problem of driver or hardware fault) card, disc or HARD associated.

  Frost can occur sometimes, after a few minutes of reading, or sometimes after a few hours, requiring a restart of the hard to get the sytem to answer.

  Reading of the TV via the TV Tuner card is not affected, its only when playing of stored content (MPEG2, h264 .mkv .avi files or DVD) are all media SD HD and all played fine for the first few days.

  Intermittent freezes occurring could block the system completely freeze the image and audio and all activities, nothing would work at all, I tried windwos keyboard, ctrl alt del, nothing at all, to do a reboot hard to recover the system, it can then be either minutes or sometimes an hour before the same thing happens again. I tried to use different video files in the case of the corruption of files, different DVD to exclude damaged disks, same result.

  System includes:

  1. Map - mother ASUS M3A32 - MVP Dlx, Socket AM2 +, 790FX/SB600 chipset, BIOS v.2003

  All the material above has had pilots upated since the sites of respective manufacturers, including BIOS of motherboard, chipset, graphics card, network card, sound card, card TV, keyboard (Logitech Setpoint) etc... etc...

  4. MCEBuddy v.1.1 - for automated video Conversion of MCE .wtv smaller file size .avi TV recordings

  All of the above software has been installed by using the latest available versions downloaded from the manufactuer sites, which claim to support Windows 7 and all have been updated regularly since its installation.

  I have tried many of the suggestions I've seen posted to try to solve this problem, including:

  1. Uninstalling and reinstalling Media Center and WMP
  2. Disabling subtitles in Media Center
  3. Disable unused mobo onboard devices in the BIOS
  4. Update BIOS
  5. Updated all drivers
  6. Disabling Control Panel Nvidia PhysX
  7. Disabling the Enhanced Sound features for reading devices
  8. Run CCRegistry cleaner
  9. Run many Virus scans nomral mode and safe - no problems found
  10. Don't run the Checkdisk on all HARD drives - no problems found
  11. Run the SeaTools Diagnostic tools for HARD drives - all disks HARD discover OK
  12. Tried playing files AVI of HDD separated to avoid a HARD drive problem - same problem occurs on all readers
  13. I tried change graphics card for an ATI HD4850 with the latest ATI drivers - same problem.
  14. Tried to change the audio output S/PDIF instead of Xonar Soundcard onboard - same problem occurs
  15. Tried the Windows 7 repair facility - problem persists.
  16. Tried to uninstall all updates of Windows -same problem
  17. I tried the system restore to before the occurrence of the problem started - no help
  18. tried to re-downlaoding all hardware drivers updated and re - install in the case of a corrupt driver download - no chance even problem

  Essentially none of the abvoe helped to solve this problem, and it becomes really frustrating to have to restart the PC again and again trying to watch a recorded video file or DVD.

  After remove all the above I can only assume that it is a problem with Windows 7, needing a fix of the millisecond.  At least I think that I've exhausted everything I can try... ???

  With what is my HTPC, if I can't perform reliably, I have to reinstall Vista, Vista was not the best OS, but at least it was reliable for me in terms of my HTPC.

  I was really eager to get Windows 7, I used the RTM version on my netbook for some time before I made the decision to purchase the full retail version for my HTPC, and never had any of these problems with my installation of netbook that I used for playback of media files from an external USB HDD.  So I'm really disappointed to have these problems after doing all that I could to make sure that Windows 7 would work OK.

  If anyone can give me any suggestions of what I can try, anythign I can too watching, or if someone has hada similar problem and found a solution for him... Please, please, post more details, because I am really at my wits end now and have to resort to watch the recordings on a 10.2 "screen of my netbook with some speakers of the small laptop usb, after spending so much money on my system and surround sound Setup HTPC, its devastating to think that I'll have to go back to Vista...

  Absoultely ANY suggestions would be appreciated...

  Thanks in advance for any help and once again, I'm sorry for the length of the post, if there is more information needed I've not provided above, please let me know and I will try to publish as soon as POSSIBLE...

  After the forum of scouring and reding of countless discussions, it seems, there is some sort of problem with Media Network Sharing tha could be the cause of this problem, as many people have reported that disabling wmpnetwk.exe in the Services.msc solves the problem.

  It's not an ideal solution for me, as I have a HTPC in the room that I play media from the main HTPC downstairs and all the hype MS seemed to suggest that Win 7 is it is much easier to achieve, and has been one of the main points of sale used in one of their commercials for the operating system.

  This my MS you need to pay attention to this problem and work towards a solution and allow users to know when the solution has been provided, probably have a service that must be disabled to let the operating system work reliably is quite counterproductive.

  Nobody seems to answer my post above with other suggestions and wmpnetwork.exe disable workaround was published last November, all the while still there is no permanent solution...?

  EDIT: Just to confirm this wmnetwork.exe Netwrok disabling media sharing in the services, as well as disabling the media streaming in the Netwrok Sharing Center > advanced sharing Options, solved the constant crashes for me.

  So all the MS speak of 3rd party drivers for the cards video and other material or material defects are to blame, it's total BS, the only problem is to do with Windows and Windows Media Sharing, lets hope, they decide to do something to fight it... !!

• 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...

  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)

• Windows Media Center "to listen or look at a conflict"... does not recognize the TV tuner

  I have completely exhausted the forum Windows Media Center for response to the resolution of this problem. I replaced my unit ATI TV Wonder Digital Cable Ready, as well as my graphics card tuner, and WMC still says 'No TV Tuner Found"and the message" listen or look at a conflict - no tuner available to meet the current demand "when I try to watch live TV. I have also a "no tuner hardware detected... Please ensure equipment is installed correctly...» "if I try to set up the TV Tuner again.

  I don't think that my answer lies in Windows Media Center or hardware from ATI. I'm now trying to figure out if it involves this feature installed at the factory of HP listed on the bottom of my computer: "GENUINE WINDOWS VISTA HOME Premium TUNER DIGITAL". I understand that it is the software and hardware.

  I would be grateful if anyone has answers. If anyone knows what this function is that was installed at the factory, and how I can uninstall and reinstall the software and replace the hardware, I understand that too.

  Thank you

  After unsuccessfully trying everything I could find that had the potential to solve my problem, I finally solved the problem myself.

  It's actually a corrupted Windows file that allows my TV tuner, which caused all my problems. I reinstalled my Vista operating system to its original state, and now the ATI TV tuner works fine. Easier said than done.

• Qosmio E15: How to upgrade Media Center 2002 SP1 to SP2?

  Hello

  My Qosmio E15-AV101 was shupped with Media Center 2002 SP1. I did the automatic update from Microsoft and also downloaded the SP2 package. Still, the upgrade process fails. When I'm tired, I contacted MS technical assistance for the reason my Media center rejecting the upgrade. Microsoft replyed than the version supplied with Toshiba and other equipment manufacturers are customized to match the hardware manufacturer full compatibility.
  Quote:
  "
  Notes of this part of the OEM and Microsoft agreement is to allow Original Equipment Manufacturer support for the products they have installed on a particular computer. The agreement was presented only the OEM often change and pre-install Microsoft software on their computers to ensure compatibility and to take full advantage of your computer s hardware. This means that the OEM has expertise on your Microsoft software on your computer in particular works.
  "

  So, is the solution to my problem. How to upgrade?

  Hello

  First of all it is a user to user forum and you won't find anyone from Toshiba.
  Secondly, as far as I know that your device was designed for an American market and if you are looking for drivers or updates you must use a Web from Toshiba site we:
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/Su/su_sc_home.jsp

  If you have any problems with your unit, so you must contact the ASP (authorized service partner Toshiba) in your country.

  As far as I know that Windows Vista is not official on the market. Maybe the end of the year or next year.
  I can t believe that you are not available to install the updates. I checked a few comments and Microsoft updates have always worked.

  As I suggested at the beginning if you have some problems with your unit has so contact the service of Toshiba.
