Stop, jump and back orders MCE works only in Windows 7 Media Center

I have a HTPC home built with card mother Gigabyte GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 with i3-2100 processor, running Windows 7 Edition Home Premium.  I have three different input devices:

(1) Logitech MK320 keyboard bluetooth and a separate mouse

(2) distance of keyboard/mouse bluetooth Lenovo N5902

(3) remote control Logitech Harmony 890 that interacts with the HTPC via an HP MCE IR receiver USB wireless (used for almost 95% of all applications)

I've been running Windows Media Center (WMC) for 1 year now through the HTPC for LiveTV, music and RecordedTV.  I also use the Netflix plug-in and I have Media Browser (MB) to play all my movies.  Everything worked perfectly and then about 2 months ago, SKIP and REPLAY has stopped working on the Harmony remote.  I did some extensive troubleshooting and found the following:

(1) if I restart the machine, sometimes the STOP, the SKIP and REPLAY buttons on the harmony and the Lenovo work for awhile, but eventually (maybe 15 to 30 minutes later they will stop working), closure of WMC and restart WMC has no effect.

(2) when the STOP, JUMP, REPLAY buttons do not work, all other commands still work (PAUSE, PLAY, FFW, REW, REC, EXIT, etc.).

(3) when the 3 buttons stop working on the harmony they also stop work on the Lenovo, however hit CTRL + B (REPLAY), CTRL + F (SKIP) and CTRL + SHIFT + S (STOP) on the MK320 or Lenovo always correctly executes these commands.  Also, using the mouse and clicking on the STOP, SKIP or REPLAY on the bottom right WMC button is still running these commands.

Conclusions:

(1) it is not the USB IR receiver wireless or remote Harmony, because the Lenovo bluetooth also stops working.  Hid drivers for the IR receiver and Bluetooth dongles are all to date.

(2) the problem lies within Windows.  Maybe the registry?  I have installed and uninstalled several programs on the HTPC.  I used CCleaner and defragmentation of registry without help.  I'm sure that do an install own complete will fix the problem, but I would like to avoid that if possible.

Someone at - it solution or seen this problem before?  If not, can you at least direct me to key in registry for these 3 actions and what they "should" be?  Maybe I can identify a difference.

Problem solved!

Leave it to Apple to mess up your Windows PC!

I had iTunes running down to the task bar, so I could use the "Remote" app on my iPad and iPhone to listen to music on the HTPC. Well, iTunes was hijacking the STOP, SKIP and orders in MCE REPLAY. Once I closed iTunes, everything worked fine. Freaking products Apple, urghh!

  • Why Windows Vista Media Center Program Guide stopped working

    I've been using Windows Vista Media Center as my main way to watch and record the TV, music, and Photos for a few years (shortly after Windows Vista came out).

    Since January 1, 2013, the program guide showed no data.

    I believe that this is because the Microsoft agreement with the broadcasting of the Data Services to the United Kingdom is exhausted.

    What is Microsoft doing about this?

    Can what steps I take to restore my Media Center if you work?

  • 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.

  • Microsoft has stopped support for Windows 7 Media Center's Electronic Programming Guide?

    I've been using the Windows 7 Media Center to watch and record local televisions more of one year.  Now, my guide-schedule is not download new data.  I tried several times to update manually the programming data.  The EPG shows the update succeeded, but no new data is displayed.  Microsoft stopped providing data to guide programming?  If Microsoft still provides programming data, what can I do to fix the problem?  PS: I have similar problems on a second computer.

    After re - run the TV Setup at least 100 times, it * finally * downloaded and updated to the source of Rovi.

    Keep trying, it will work eventually.  Try to run the TV setup during off-peak hours, such as early in the morning.

  • Windows 7 Media Center Live TV and recorded TV no sound.

    After the upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 and get all the drivers updated, Windows 7 Media Center has no sound for TV or recorded TV, but sound works for all other programs, including just play music in media center.  Reading DVD and Bluray will similarly play with surround sound with HP DVD BD play, then it is certainly not an audio card/driver problem.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    An additional note: If you look at mixing devices, remember that you have multimedia running. If you do not, it may appear not as part of mixer. When I got a pronlem with no sound in WMC, but WMP worked (as well as my other apps), it turns out be the problem, but you would only see it when WMC is running.

    Thanks, my TV sound is is arrested without reason, but everything except the sound effects in media center worked. turned out that some how the mixer was gone the media center to 0 and left it like that.
