Video error - files needed to display video are not installed or not working not properly. Please restart Windows Media Center or restart the computer

I have Vista Version 6.0.6002.18030 (vistasp2_gdr.090429 - 2357) SP2 installed during an automatic update.  This box is only used as a Media Center

Now, I get this error when you try to watch HD programming - I get a few seconds of viewing before the image starts to freeze, the acoustic breaks then the error message.
Recorded at stations SD I will often get towards the end of the program, and it starts too break up.
The Analysis ToolPak that I found for the Hauppauge 500 t tuner I have reports that all networks have 70 + strength and 100% quality.
The performance of the Task Manager tab indicates the processor cores ares works at about 25% of capacity
I had a lot of trouble getting the Pioneer BD drive to work - it turned out to be a very minor mistake, a slider maxed out on the Graphics tab "overlay" card - but until I found this he encouraged to re - install the OS from the original DVD and the problem persists.
The system used to work properly and there has been no hardware apart from the Pioneer BD drive changes.
I got ffdshow installed from the beginning, so I don't think that's the problem.

DVD read OK
BluRay disks play back ok using the Cyberlink plug in BOF VMC
Different types of downloaded files play OK using VLC.  So, I conclude that the (integrated) graphics (latest drivers installed) and in the rest of the material are very good.
Looking through the forums, this seems to be an old problem, but its very curent FRO me and SUPER frustrating.
The indices of anyone?

Hello Clement,

Thanks much for the reply.
I had already downloaded the Tuner card driver on the site yesterday and installed (this is the same version I already had, but he did not seem wrong to re - install).  No change.
I really don't understand well enough codecs!  -are you making allusion to the East no doubt not that the encoding of the input signal software cannot do its job properly?  Are the part of the tuner driver codecs? I could not see them on the website of the tuner (http://www.newmagic.com.au/Support/Hauppauge_Vista_Drivers.html)
Can you please point me in the right direction for the codec pack (btw, I though 'codec packs' were notoriously bad news! and since I recently made a new facility would be not all right codecs be there that they must have been before when everything worked well?)
I have a chart integrated 'card' on the ASUS P5E - VM HDMI, an Intel GMA x 3500 and here too I have the latest driver from the Intel web site.
I think I've found the "MS decoder checkup" utility you mention (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=DE1491AC-0AB6-4990-943D-627E6ADE9FCB&displaylang=en).  I have a Red Cross and green ticks for different decoders but 'Microsoft MPEG-2 Video' (msmpeg2vdec.dll.) decoder is compatible with MCE, but not with MP10.  When selected "update now" button is dimmed.
Thanks again

  • "Windows Media Center cannot detect the IR control cables, which are necessary to control the set-top box. Fixing parts IR that supports the IR control cables and then try again. IR HARDWARE NOT FOUND ".

    Original title: when setting up Windows Media Center, I get the error message: "IR hardware not detected".

    I have an internal TV Tuner that has been installed by HP, when I bought recently a "computer build-your-own." (According to the control panel Device Manager, my tuner is a Win TV HVR 1290, made by Hauppauge). The computer came with Windows 7. While installing Windows Media Center, after setting up the TV Signal (on channel 3) I am able to see a video thumbnail on my computer screen. I am also able to change the channel using my remote control U-Verse (not the Windows remote control supplied with the computer). So far so good! I then hit next and get the following message: "Windows Media Center cannot detect the IR control cables, which are necessary to control the set-top box. Fixing parts IR that supports the IR control cables and then try again. IR HARDWARE NOT FOUND ".  After you receive this message, the installation procedure is completed. I called HP that support intalled the tuner. They had not the slightest idea what to do. I then called Hauppage customer (manufacturer of TV Tuner). They said that I need to plug one end of the IR Blaster cable that shipped with the computer in a slot in the back of my computer (they told me which slot). They said so to run the IR all the way cable to my cable box and the other end of the cable to my cable box of band. They said it was necessary to be able to use my Microsoft Remote to instruct the box to change channels (cable IR stuck on the box). I told her that I did not use the Microsoft Remote, I could change the channel with my U-verse remote (that I preferred to use anyway). He said that it took the cable on the band decoder in order to remove the error message and the installation of Windows Media Center. I then called U-Verse technical adapter who informed me of their set-top boxes (made by Cisco Systems) do not have the ability to receive signals IR IR Blaster cable (or any othe IR signal source). Microsoft is apparently not understand how U-Verse set-top boxes are designed to work and sells a product incompatible remote control/IR. My question is this: How do I set up Windows Media Center, in order to avoid getting the error message "IR hardware not detected" when you install Windows Media Center and just use the remote control of the U-Verse that I prefer to use in the first place. Once understand you this point, please send the information to HP, At & T U-Verse and others. Thank you.

    Ron, I have something for you!

    and for all the people who have this problem :)

    Hi, I had the time of IR not detected in Windows 7 Ultimate with a TV wonder 650 card and a box of digital adapter from Verizon for my PC... Go on the road to installation and after the Media Center channel search, choose manual configuration. Choose the aerial signal (I aso picked after this analog) l. After he sought more, he finds no channels.  Do not be afraid. Just accept it and go to the main settings page in the Mediacenter. If I remember correctly, then select TV Guide. Choose Add channel. I added the channel 3.

    Since my Verizon box has no IR for the computer, I added the channel 3 for the media Center and I change the channels with my Verizon remote. All my stations in the Verizon box go to Channel 3.

    The story here is so, for some reason any Windows detects that only my box channel signal TV and you must manually configure the media center on the air, then go to settings and add the channel you want in the guide.

    Why the guide TV control which channel you can tune is beyond me, but the scanner locks all channels, it does not detect. they must be added manually in the guide.

    My TV works and looks okay now.

    It actually works!

    the only problem is that it is not in HD

    but there is something

  • Windows Media Center cannot detect the error DVD Windows Media Center cannot detect a DVD in the DVD - ROM drive. Insert a video DVD into the drive

    Original title: why Windows Media Center does not detect my DVD?

    I built my computer motherboard ASUS P658D, Intel i7 processor clocked at 2.6 gHz, 12 GB RAM, 750W Corsair PWR. power, Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit & ie9. When I put or the other two DVDs in one of two DVD players, Windows Media Center appears and when I click on "Play DVD" Media Center give me a window that says:

    "Windows Media Center cannot detect a DVD in the DVD - ROM drive. Insert a video DVD in the drive." Two DVDs, I've tried are educational for DVD

    my Nikon D300 Digital camera and a family video DVD or both these very well play in a bed of same computer running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, & ie8.

    I tried Microsoft Fixit, no help. I tried to send Microsoft Support, and I got NO HELP. I did not bring any changes, and installed any program, just

    scoured the internet. A DVD player is a Sony Optarc with Microsoft Driver, the other is ASUS. I also tried to use Windows Media Player but nothing

    rises or it returns me to Windows Media Center and it does not detect to play either of my DVD. How can I get help here, or from Microsoft? Thank you.

    No, there is no yellow warning in Device Manager and the device manager says that two DVD players work properly. Mr. Fix it's

    automated download from microsoft that is supposed to automatically fix some problems, but he provided no help here. I think it is more likely

    that there is a problem with Windows Media Center or Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and either of my two new Sony DVD drives

    and ASUS.

    I thought my way in a solution. My thought was: Device Manager indicates DVD players work properly and both are new and we're Sony, and the other ASUS so I think only an unlikely problem with readers. The problem is with Windows Media Center "do DETECTED is not the DVD. So there must be a problem with Windows Media Center. I thought that I might need to reinstall Windows 7... then I thought that maybe if I just reinstall Windows Media that will work. He did. My problem was:

    Start > Panel > programs and features > features on or off Windows activate > then uncheck the box for multimedia functions > restart the computer > and then re-check the box to restore the multimedia features > now both discs play both DVDs, I tried. Both disks are operating normally. Reinstall the characteristics of media Windows 7 resolved the problem. Thanks to all who offered solutions.

  • In Windows Media Center, I find the names of file for photos but no pictures. I can find them in "my pictures".

    It seems other files more bleeding in the 'My pictures' folder but the pictures are not appearing in Media Center.  If I go to the start menu and click on 'Images' I'm in the photos, but still, there are many files that do not belong.  If I go directly to the "my pictures" folder everything is fine.  What did I do to cause this?  How can I solve this problem?

    Hello

    Restore to factory conditions would certainly solve the problem - there is no reason you should have to reset the bios to be able to do.

    To consider is to force Windows to re - build the library - getails of the procedure are described in method 1 below.  You must view the files system and records that you were before being able to locate these files.

    I had the same problem and then by chance, I tried a video on YouTube and it worked for me. Here's how I went on this issue and solved my problem:

    1. go to the computer, then OS (C).
    2. you will need to open Program Files (x 86) and Program Files.
    3. go to Windows Media Player in Program Files (x 86) and open the folder.  Then, remove the wmplayer file.  You may need to work around the error TrustedInstaller.  I'll tell you that, in a moment.
    4. in Program Files, go to the same folder for Windows Media Player and select the same file again. Wmplayer.  Copy the file in another window open.  Copy ensures that if the question comes up again you can at least try to fix it again.
    This should be the end of your problem.  If you need to circumvent the TrustedInstaller question is how:
    1. right click on wmplayer and select Properties > Security > advanced > owner > Edit > other users and groups.
    2. Enter your username and then click on check names.  Click OK.
    3. close the dialog boxes as he has requested.
    4. open again the properties and click Security.  Select your username from the list and click on edit.  From there, select full control.
    This should give you full control over the removal of the original file for WMP and easily allow you to copy the other files (x 86) programs.
    Please let me know how it goes for your problem.
