• Xbox 360 Media Center extender 545 error code

  Hello everyone I thought I'd ask my question here as nowhere else.

  The problem is, my xbox 360 has benn works fine it's just the media library.
  Whenever I try to add as an Extender happens to the part where it sets up my xbox and it says error and it can not set up my computer. So far, I have tried the part where you remove certificates and restarted some Services, but none of them worked.
  Under Event Viewer, he said
  Media Center Extender Setup cannot create an account for the extender with the ID: uuid:10000000-0000-0000-0200-0022483530EF.

  
  

  Error: The system cannot find the specified file.

  If anyone can help me with this, it would be appreciated muchly, Spudals (Jake)

  PS. IM passing by a N1 Vision Wireless router, it worked before, so I don't think it's important.

  PPS. I tried on another laptop and it worked fine, this laptop also had windows 7.

  Hi Spudals,

  Welcome to the Microsoft answers site.

  I suggest that you allow the default Administrator and try to set up the media center extender, follow these steps:

  To activate the default Administrator account, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start and type CMD in the start search box

  2. right click on CMD in the list and click "Run as Administrator"

  3. type the following command: net user administrator / Active: Yes

  If the problem persists, you can try to create a new user account and the extension of configuration and check, if it works fine, then it could be a problem with the user profile, follow the steps in the link:

• How reset/uninstall media center extender on XBOX

  After graduating with a repaired XBOX back I had to add the Extender. Everything was going well with no error. However, only 3 of my home movies are now rather than the 33 that are on the media center. Is there a way to reset the Extender on xbox or delete it if I try to reinstall to see if that fixes it?

• Xbox 360 Media Center Extender loses the connection to the media center to Windows 7 after change of router

  I have a Windows 7 Media Center box, and an Xbox 360 that I use as an Extender.  The two connections to the same wired router.  Everything worked fine until I went on my old router (failed) and put in a WNDR4300.   After the new router has been installed, I didn't have the Extender work then, deleted from the media Center and re - he added.  It worked but after I shut off/started the xbox, no link.  It is repetitive: I can make a new connection, but then it didn't reconnect after reboot of the xbox.

  Check/change:

  -J' changed to a static IP xbox

  -There is no part 3 a / v or a firewall on the support center

  -L' on the media center network adapter is 'home '.

  -The network card on the media center * fact * show the xbox 360

  -The event log after the xbox is restarted shows:

  event ID 538: installation of media center extender does not like the Extender has been detected on the network, but for the Extender upnp search failed (timed out after 20000ms)

  -How long before it, I have found that the service IS running upnp device host (and set to auto)

  -J' checked 4300 router wndr and UPnP is enabled (advertising set to 30 minutes)

  question, any ideas what configuration will solve this problem?

• 1290 error when you try to install Media Center extender for X 360 in Win7 Pro x 64

  OK, here's one for someone who knows Win7 Kernel internals.

  I am trying to connect my XBox 360 to my PC MC with Windows 7 Pro x 64. When I type the code 8 digits of the Xbox in Media Center, I get an error "Setup." Check the system error log, I found that it was a failure of the Media Extender service to start. Stop of is an error 1290, that says "service start failed because one or more services in the same process have a service SID inconsistent type parameter.» SID type has something to do with the core permissions or somesuch. WAY out of my League.
  The only thing that I could find online is that this error occurs sometimes in what concerns the time Service Windows, and that a registry edit to fix it. I tried a similar "fix" on this service registry entry, but it had no effect on this error, so I changed the return register.
  Someone has an idea of what I might try next? I did all the standard things that are recommended for problems of Media Extender, including uninstalling and reinstalling all components of media. Re-installation of Windows is NOT an option at this stage, this computer is used by all my children, and there would be a mutiny if he became unavailable for a long period of time (especially for as "lame" reason like this). I'd really listen to my media to my XBox. I hope that someone with some knowledge of the works of this service lies this question one day.
  Thanks for reading.

• How do you play dubbed audio or subtitles in Windows Media Center Extender (Xbox 360)?

  I know how to turn subtitles on my Windows Media Center PC, but there is no option to select audio dubbed or subtitled when you use Windows Media Center Extender. All my video files contain subtitles and audio dubbed foreign films.  My wife loves Spanish subtitles, because she has trouble understanding some English films.  I searched some forums and there are questions there but they have no definitive answers.  How a company billions of dollars developing a Media Center and leave out or miss crucial features like these? Please do not react with the thread on how to activate subtitles in TV Mode. Which does not apply to this question. The key word is EXTENDERS.

  Hi AnthonyWilson5

  Subtitles should be coded in the movie view. These subtitles are automatically playing with video files. If the subtitles are a separate .srt file, then you will not be able to visualize everything by watching a video on the 360. There is no real turn option ON or OFF for subtitle in the Xbox 360.

  But for more information you can even try to contact the expert Microsoft Xbox 360 team. Please visit the links below to find a community that will support what ask you in the right direction for Xbox 360.

When I went to look at my library, I noticed that some of the songs had a yellow padlock in front of the icon. I looked through the properties and could not understand anything the thing he looked the same as a normal file for me. any ideas?

  Looks like that the songs can be protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management). You are able to play the same songs with Windows Media Player?

• Media Center Extender and xbox - version question

  I've been recently using WMC TV recording, but I can't get the message to my TV. I think of buying any old Xbox console to get the Extender. -I really hate on the games-just the Extender. Is there a certain version of the Xbox that I have Extender? Thank you.

  Hi Dean,

  Thanks for posting this question in the Microsoft Community.

  You can go through the article to learn more about setting up a Windows Media Center.

  If you have an Extender that worked with Windows Vista, it should work with Windows 7. For example, the Xbox 360, which includes the built-in Media Center Extender functionality will work with Windows 7.

  Former dilution models that have been developed for use with Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 do not work with Windows 7. I suggest you to be sure to read the fine print on the expansion box before you buy.

  Hope this information was helpful and let us know if you need assistance in the future. We will be happy to help you.

• UPnP search fails when adding Xbox 360 Media Center Extender

  First of all, I spent a week looking for a solution to this so if I missed something obvious, I apologize.

  My xbox has been connected as a media center extender to this combination of the computer and the router for several months now. The router is a WII-HP-G300NH Buffalo. Earlier this week the media center extender was having video playback problems. After restarting the computer, the Extender was is no longer connected.

  When I try to add a new extension unit I get the message "unable to add extender. Microsoft says to activate upnp and multicast. Check. Reflashed firmware dd - wrt. No luck. Back to buffalo firmware. No luck. Try an old Linksys WRT54GL I hang out. No luck.

  The event recorder has this error: "Media Center Extender Setup has failed as the Extender has been detected on the network unsuccessfully searching for UPnP for the Extender (timed out after 20000ms)." Event ID: 538

  Now, I did everything I could find on the activation of network discovery, anything allowing to access media and these. Network and sharing Center is located about large open. I also tried switching between home and work networks.

  That said, I decided to check and see what updates have been installed. It turns out that an update has been applied on the day, that I started to have problems. It is said that it can not be uninstalled. Description Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 installation software item updated

  Note: I have no system restore points. Small SSD and has not taken the time to understand how to save elsewhere.

  That's all the information I have. I convinced myself that it is not the router via the steps described above and that it is something to do with the computer. Help?

  FIXED.

  Reinstalled NIC drivers.

• Windows Media Center extender on my XBOX works initially, but not after reboot of my XBOX. Error: Failed to connect to the Xbox 360 could not connect to the windows Media Center computer.

  It's VERY odd and very annoying!

  I set up my laptop next to my Xbox 360 with an Ethernet cable directly connecting the laptop to the XBOX, and the laptop is on our wireless network. The XBOX has access to the internet (shared through the laptop), and when I test the PC connection and the connection XBOX Live sound fine to all.

  So I'll try to set up Windows Media Center, it works great! I "Add Extender", put the code to 8 digits. It passes through the installation, all works, no problems and WMC opens on the XBOX, I can go into my library, watch movies etc... works great!

  However! As soon as I turn my XBOX off and back on, it will fail to connect to the WMC.

  He says his 'find Windows Media Center PC' which seems to work fine, it goes to the ' Windows Media Center loading screen "contact...". ", and after about 10 seconds, I get an error"failed to connect the Xbox 360 could not connect to windows Media Center PC. Make sure that the PC is turned on and connected to the network.

  I tried to configure the Extender repeatedly, whenever it works fine until I restart the XBOX... :/ - and its strange cause I still the internet connection (shared through the laptop) after turning on the XBOX, its really JUST Media Center which is screwing around.

  She continues to keep trying to connect then repeatedly fails.

  If I wanted to, I could re-configuration the WMC Extender EVERY TIME turn off the Xbox, which works the first time without fault, but that's all just stupid.

  I can't really understand what is happening here... any help would be appreciated.

• Media Center Extender is not group registered in series tv episodes

  When several episodes of a TV show are saved, they used to appear in collections under the title of the series.  The number of recorded episodes would be in parentheses, and the list could be either be expanded to show all or could be reduced.  It still works that way on the Media Center.

  But now, on the extension, the individual episodes are only appear in a long list.  This makes the long and cluttered list, and it is more difficult to understand who is the oldest episode.

  I use Windows 7 with a XBox360 as the Extender.  I have not changed, hardware, or operating systems, but the behavior of the list has changed.  I had to reload the Media Center software and redo my channels when there was a change in television service.

  I solved the problem myself.  It was an obscure pilot error.  But I saw that other people have had this problem, so let me explain.

  In the recorded TV section where you see your list of records, it is in fact a bit of text mode upward at the top of the screen.  One, which is quite familiar, is the ability to add a new record.  But there's something up there, at the top of the screen that I never noticed before.  There is a place to choose if you want to display by or by
