Windows Media Center does not record programs

I got my Vista computer for 3 years and love the Media Center DVR. Lately, I had problems with registration. I choose a program from the guide and it records it all. Today, I put manually into a program and he recorded only about half of it. He can't save much after an hour. It is also divide the film into clips, which he has never before. I have more than enough space on my computer. I am puzzled as to what the issue is and would appreciate any help.

    Planning to record a program, but sometimes lapsed time up to the point where it does not record. I am running Windows 7 Home. Yes, I checked preferences but which differs only up to 15 minutes max.  I have reinstalled twice already. Why please?

    Hello

    (1) did you make any changes before the show?

    (2) what is the brand and model of the computer?

    Windows Media Center records the first home run HD programs or any which TV tuner installed. However, you may need to follow a few rules.

    -If you turn off your computer, Windows Media Center does not have a regular program. The computer must be turned on or "standby mode" to record a television show. The computer will not automatically in standby mode if Windows Media Center is open.


    -Make sure that you turn off the screen and lower or turn off the sound if you have one at the request of a record in the middle of the night and don't want to be disturbed.

    -Your scheduled recording may not save in the following situation: schedule you a recording in Windows Media Center to start in less than ten minutes, close Windows Media Center and put your computer into standby or hibernation mode immediately. Use or one of the following options to save your record programmed:

    a. do not close Windows Media Center before you put your computer on standby or hibernation.
    b. after having programmed a recording, wait a minute before you put the computer in standby or hibernation.

  • Windows Media Center will not record shows?

    I just brought a new model of the series Gateway ZRX 6971, with touch screen

    I have upgraded to Windows 8 Pro

    Get the free download for Windows Media Center

    Previously recorded shows that has been saved so I still had Windows 7 has played without problems in Windows 8

    However, it won't save poster now because I have "insufficient disk space".

    But I have over 900 GB of free space!

    I tried to tweak the settings in the settings options and even tried to disable recording of HD!

    Still no luck!  Help!

    See my post "Windows 8 - record TV with Windows Media Center problem"

    The answer to my problem is in the penultimate position...

    I managed to solve it now by running a recovery job in the computer management application.

    In case anyone else has this problem, here's what I did:

    1. close Windows Media Center

    2. open the computer management application and navigate to the bottom of the tree in the left panel by selecting system tools-> Task Scheduler-> Task Scheduler Library-> Microsoft-> Windows-> Media Center

    3. at the top, the central panel find the "MediaCenterRecoveryTask" task, which should have a status of "Ready".  Right-click on the task and select run (status changes to "Running")

    4 wait for the task to do his stuff (the status does not change) then right click on the task again and select end (State dates back to "Ready")

    5. open Windows Media Center, which will realize that there is a problem and that it is necessary to rerun the configuration

    After the execution of the task above and completing a successful installer of Windows Media Center, I found I could record once more tv!

    Guess I'll never know exactly what was wrong, but I'll settle for having working again!

    Hope that works for you

  • Windows Media Center does not display my photos. I tried to re-setup my album and it shows my files but no pictures in them. I can see my photos in all viewers

    all my photos are in JPEG format, I download my photos on several websites and on my Windows live.com page, I also see with Windows Live Photo Gallery, I use Adobe Photoshop 7 to edit and save my pictures in .jpeg format, I can visualize in Picasa, PhotoStudio, ZoomBrowers EX etc.. I can spend my photos to one of my other computers and my pictures by e-mail, and they can be consulted. I open one of my photos in Photoshop and saved in a folder on my desktop in .jpeg and .bmp and it does not display. I sort my folder in date and make sure that hidden files is checked. I know I'm missing something, but still nothing.

    Hello
     
    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!
     
    How long have you had this problem?

    All files compatible photo in your library in Windows will appear in Media Center, including whatever it is stored in the folder my pictures or public photo. If you store images somewhere else, like an external hard drive, you can add them to the Media Center as well. To learn how, see Add files to media in Windows Media Center.

    The following is a list of reasons why an image will not display in Media Center, as well as suggestions for correcting the problem.

    • The picture file type is not supported in Media Center. For example, some digital camera photos are saved in the RAW file format, which is not supported in Media Center. If you have a photo editing software, try to open the picture in that program, and then resaving in a file type that is supported (for example, JPEG). To see what types of files are supported in Media Center, see file types supported by Windows Media Center.

    • The file is corrupted. If this is the case, try to open the image in another photo editing program, and then save it back into a different file type. For more information on the damaged files, see the files corrupted: frequently asked questions.

    • The file is hidden. You can view a hidden file by changing its properties in Windows. For more information, see Show hidden files.

  • Windows 7 64 bit, Windows Media Center does not work

    After you activate Windows Home Server media sharing, I went to my 64 bit Windows 7 machines and tried to launch Windows Media Center.  After you run through the configuration of the connector of WMC, reboot, and then clicking Windows Media Center, I get:

    "Windows Media Center has stopped working".

    He said that it is looking for a solution, but after a few seconds, he goes and does not return.

    I never have a chance to fix anything, or even see if it connects or not.

    Any ideas?

    Hello
    Reinstall the WMC and should resolve in most cases.
    1 open the control panel-> programs and features.
    2. click on Turn Windows features on or off in the left pane.
    3 expand the multimedia functionality, turn off Windows Media Center. Click Yes to continue, and then click OK to exit. Then restart.
    4. open features Turn Windows turn on or off again. Functionality in Windows Media Center. Restart the computer.

  • Media Center does not record the whole show

    Says Windows Media Center he recorded with success a program about 66 min record reports, but when I try to watch that it only shows the first 30 seconds or more.  Some programs record very well however.  I am running win 7, 64 bit, intel I5 processor terrabyte 3 HD previously worked well, another computer with the same hardware not having not problem.

    I guess you missed that in my original post I said that the same Watch record fine on another computer using the same material for TV tuners.  They also sometimes record ok on this computer, but at other times are not.  I suspect something is damaged in the media center and will try to uninstall and reinstall when I have the time

  • Windows Media Center will not record on a disc hard exFAT formatted using Windows 7 Pro

    Running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.
    Have 80 GB NTFS boot disk and 1 secondary format to exFAT.
    Can't set TV recording on disc of exFAT as media player does not recognize as a viable file system exFAT. Strange behavior, assuming exFAT is a file system for Ms.

    Media Center only allows recording of disks formatted in NTFS.

  • my Windows Media Center does not run wll

    When media center is running it start & stop starts & stops on its on!

    Suggestions: -.

    1] you can opt for a system restore. Select any restore point when everything was working fine.

    If the above does not help: -.

    2] run the Setup again.

    Open WMC > tasks > settings > General > installation Windows Media Center > rerun the installation

    Does that help?

    If the above does not help then try to reset WMC: -.

    Open Control Panel > uninstall a program > turn Windows features on or off > scroll multimedia features > uncheck the box against Windows Media Center > follow the instructions on the screen > Reboot > open again to turn Windows features on or off in the control panel > scroll multimedia features > check the box against Windows Media Center.

    Now reconfigure WMC again

  • Windows Media Center does not work when on a remote desktop session

    I have just Setup Remote Desktop on my local server and connected my laptop... whew that was a task in itself!

    Server - Windows 7 Ultimate w/Media Center installed

    Laptop - Windows 8 Pro w/Media Center installed

    I am able to run the Windows Media PLAYER on the remote desktop, and it seems to work fine after that I added the libraries to it.

    BUT

    When I run Windows Media CENTER I get a message that "Windows Media Center has stopped working... Windows is checking for a solution to the problem. "The message goes away and that's it.

    Anyone got any ideas on how I can get the WMC to operate on remote desktop?

    Not very well why this would be considered as a matter of "ITPro.

    It's probably debatable that MS really intended for MC to be used via RDP, I'm not sure they believed that the feature has been used very well at all judging by what they were doing in Windows 8

    However, there are two possibilities on the cause of this. An update of the RDP client can be the culprit, but it is not always a good idea to block any update.

    You can also the following reg key

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\Rdp-Tcp

    added needs of the user group have included in its read access permissions. You can also use the run as Administrator option when you start Media Center.

  • Windows Media Center does not launch. Error "Windows Media Center has stopped working".

    Original title: media library does not load. When I click the icon, it begins to open and the message appears Media Center has stopped working.

    I'm under win 7 on an ASUS. It is updated and I have no problems with anything else.

    Have you tried to test with another Windows user, in which case there is a problem of user profile?

    Try running ChkDsk to check your drive for errors. Right click on your drive icon / properties / tools / error checking.  Try first by checking do not each box (that it will run in read-only mode) to see if it reports any problems file or hard drive.  If so, restart it by checking both boxes and restart to allow him to attempt to fix any problems found.

    By using the system restore will get it going again if you go back to a point when things worked?
