  Hello jackdidit3,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

  Show captions or subtitles in Windows Media Center:
  
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/show-closed-captions-or-subtitles-in-Windows-Media-Center

  Please note that on Windows 7, Windows Media Player and Media Center make use of media of Windows (WMF) framework Foundation instead of DirectShow for playback of certain types of files. Consequently, the DirectShow like DirectVobSub subtitle filters are not used.

  WMF is used for the following formats: MPEG, WMV, MP4, MOV, M2TS. Other file such as AVI and MKV formats, Microsoft players are (in most cases) able to display subtitles.

  You can download a third-party software and check if it helps. Search using your search engine preferred for more information.

• Satellite A300-1OM - Media sharing with XBox 360

  I'll have some real problems share my media with my Xbox 360 using my home wireless network.

  I used to connect my 360 to the internet via internet sharing with my laptop connected via Ethernet. I now borrow a wireless adapter for the 360 that still lets connect me to the internet on the 360, but I can no longer access my portable music library or find a PC Windows Media Centre when searching for the network on my 360.

  My laptop is running Windows 7 64 bit. When I display 'network' appears from my own laptop, my second laptop computer connected to the network is also shown, and the 360 is also indicated in the devices section of media. Under 'Options of Streaming Media' my 360 is also listed and given full access to my portable media.

  When my laptop is connected directly to my 360 via Ethernet the music library and video library works great, like Windows Media Center.

  Anyone know of any solution to this problem? I guess it will just be a problem with some settings on my laptop as opposed to a problem with my Xbox. Any advice much appreciated!

  Hey bradleyheap,

  To be honest it is very difficult to answer your question. In my opinion, you should ask question biotechnology in Xbox forum o somewhere else. I think that it is not related to Toshiba

  Anyway, if everything works with the LAN cable, you should check the firewall options. Try turning off the Windows Firewall and update the driver WLAN from your laptop.

  Sorry, but everything that s what I can say at the moment.

• EPG 7 import windows media center using loadMXF

  Hello

  I am trying to import data from an external MXF file in MC7, I'm following the instructions on the page to format media center guide here:
  http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd776338.aspx

  I use the loadMXF command, the command gives no error and says '100% done' and everything looks ok, the only problem is, I don't see the channels/guide services in Media Center or even in the Guide Tool (http://1geek1tool.com/guidetool).

  Using c# and some of MC7 DLLs, I can open Bank of the media center DB file and list the features, the queues, channels and Services, by doing so, I can see that the MXF file data imported and I can see the GET new range added to queues and queues list merged , and the new channels and services get, but they are not available in the Media Center itself, I tried subscribing programming for devices using "WmisLineups.Add (Lineup);" and properly, it gets added to the list of WmisLineups, but again, the programming is not displayed in MC or tool Guide.

  I tried to re-indexing queues using ehPrivJob.exe /DoReindexSearchRoot, but again, no luck.

  So my question is, what am I missing here? All I want is to be able to choose the channels imported as guide services in ' channel Edit > modify registration. "

  
  I hope someone can help,

  Thank you.

• Windows Media Center using only not to Clear QAM channels, at least some of them.

  So check it... I already updated my operating system from Windows Vista to Windows 7 as soon as it became available last year and had been using Windows Media Center on my HP m8330f to record live shows with a digital antenna.  I decided, spotty reception because, as I plug in my TV Tuner directly through my cable (without decoder) and Clear QAM channels this mode of access.  After noticing that my old TV Tuner was missing several channels (not shown 6) I chose to add missing channels, as shown in several forum posts.  I added successfully most of the available channels except the two I wanted most, NBC and ABC.  Since my TV Tuner was quite old (double ViXS ban, card simple tuner), I decided to upgrade to the Hauppauge 2250 encryption that could be a cause for the missing channels... and more, it is a ban on double, double tuner the card.  Alas, the Hauppauge worked in much the same way that its predecessor and the lack of NBC (4.1) and ABC (2.1) are not found... even after attempting to add channels.  All that is visible is a "Service is unavailable" message.

  I am a customer of Time Warner Cable in New York and have had no problem accessing these (Clear QAM) channels on my' computer', the LG 32LH40 thanks its tuner internal.  Moreover, I was able to access these same channels via the same TV Tuner using WinTV v7 and Beyond TV.  This leads me to believe that the problem lies in the Windows Media Center software.

  I am a big fan of Windows Media Center and love how convenient it is (apart from my current dilemma) and still want to use it as my main media look at a software but I'm torn on this issue.  I don't know if you have experienced this problem before, but I am quite stunned, especially since I feel like I've exhausted all channels (which goes as far to add the channels first as a modulation QAM 64 and 256).  Does anyone else have this problem?  Any ideas would be extremely useful.

  Thank you!

  Hi Chris,

  Thanks for your help!  I thought both on the channel number, but I could not find a network ads everywhere about my service area (I had not yet known on that SiliconDust website but I just took a shot and that's exactly what I needed...) (Thank you!) ; or the information that I found were incorrect.  I ended up working all last night.

  After many rescan with WinTV and Beyond TV, I could finally figure what channel were virtual and who were not and add missing channels accordingly.  Remappe MC my 104,2 at 4.2 but not my 104.1 makes my TV as well as WinTV.  Beyond TV didn't display the number of virtual channel while parsing, so I was able to get the numbers of QAM channels how.  He was just working backwards.  However, MC had yet 104.1 (my 4.1 missing such as mentioned in my previous post) in his 'detected chains"(strangely)... so I added it.

  Thank you for this Web site again!

• Windows Vista Home Premium cannot find Xbox 360 as extender

  This may be long but im giving information as possible.

  I'm good with the computer. My Vista Home Premium computer cannot find my xbox 360 as an Extender. When I use the WIndows media player 11 and share, he sees my xbox very well. Zune software, same thing. My xbox 360 is here no problem on my network in "My Network Places".

  In Media Center, once I typed the 8 digit number it is said that he can not find the Extender. I did the following:

  Reset my router
  Reformat my computer
  Reset my xbox 360
  Double checked I got the right 8-digit number in media center
  Disabled windows firewall
  Went to the tab exceptions and compatible: WIndows Media Center, Media Center Extender, eshell.exe, discovery network
  went to the management of the computer and turned on UPnP device host (changed the startup type to automatic and restarted my computer)
  Permit "filter multicast" in my router settings
  UPnp enabled in my router settings
  Upgrade Vista (with SP1 as well)
  Re-installed the drivers for my wireless card
  Connected to the Xbox 360 WIRED to my router

  Heres the funny thing, I have a Sony laptop vaio with Windows Media Center Edition 2005 on the same network that sees my xbox all the time. Its actually connected through a microsoft extension program (XboxMCE05Lite - enu.exe) basically it works fine.

  One funny thing that may help with my vista (Home premium) Windows Remote Assistant machine fails or the other.

  Any ideas? If this can help, too, this computer is built on the ground.  Sense, this isn't a HP, Dell, Sony, etc.

  Network equipment:
  Router Linksys WRT54G
  Map of Netgear WG311v3 54 Mbps Wireless

  works fine with my other laptop. So I guess that the problem must be my wireless card. I guess that's a PCI card it would have nothing to do with the problem. I'm going tomorrow to buy a NIC. USB Im not in a race simply because my internet works very well without getting a new network card. I am just puzzled and would like to get this to work because I hate running through computer problems and in abeyance. I'll get one tomorrow and let you know the guy.
