• Windows Media Center IR hardware not detected

  Hi, I'm stuck at the 'IR Hardward not detected"when you try to set up the TV.

  I am in Australia and have a wireless component gets my digital signal in another room.  www.cocoonsystems.com.au I run a Haupaggue (spelling?) TV tuner.  The TV tuner may display the signal from my cocoon via its product called WinTV.  It is consulted on the Composite connection.  (PC is a new computer from Dell with Vista desktop loaded)

  So, when I go to configure Media Center to see the signal as I do the following:
  1. set up TV signals
  2. Australia region
  3. choose antenna
  4. Select digital terrestrial
  5. Select Yes (for the view through a decoder, because the other option does not find my signal)
  6. He found the photo and playback of the sound by means of Composite 1, so I select it
  7 IR hardware not detected.

  Media Center doesn't let me step by-pass 7 if I don't have an infrared connection.  I have no need of my PC to change the channel because I use the remote control digital TV to change the channel through the Cocoon system.

  Is there a way someone knows I can work around that this troublesome matter of IR hardware not detected?  I can only assume if I had my video camera connected through the Composite connection I would have the same problem too, because that was not a remote control.

  What can I do?

  Balibooblue,
  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

  The only way I know to bypass the need for a hardware device to IR during the installation of Media Center to watch TV is to use a "virtual" infrared device  There is one called "Vista MCE IR Blaster" is a file that you download from the Internet that simulates an infrared device.  You will need to do a search for it.  Or you can buy the hardware Media Center application relatively cheaply online, on the USD $20.

  Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

• E9150T - Windows 7 Media Center - IR hardware not detected

  Hello.  I finished the upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 earlier today.

  While the upgrade went OK, Media Center can't access hardware IR for a reason any.

  I always get the IR hardware not detected error message.

  I do not anything with the prior agreement of material or after the upgrade.

  I'm running on an E9150T and I think IR's eHome Infrared Receiver via USB.

  Any help is appreciated as I did not find anything Googling for the last two hours.

  PDXPat

  Problem seems to be resolved.  Do not know which of the following has solved, but I made the following two tasks:

  1. connect a second infrared device on the second port of the IR Blaster.  Previously, it was empty.  Alone, this does not solve the problem.

  2. the system to reboot.

  3 went through a detailed set / Media Center, and simple configuration.

  Alto!  The IR Blaster seems to work now...

• Windows Media Center TV tuner not detected

  My current operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2
  (I installed SP2 from microsoft.com)
  I have the Version of the Windows Media Center - Windows Vista 6.0.6002.18030 software (vistasp2_gdr.090429 - 2357).  I'm trying to watch TV on my laptop.  I have Windows Media Center and am confused about the version because I saw this - if the version number is 6.0.6001.18000, you are NOT running Windows Media Center TV Pack.  You are running the version of Windows Media Center, which is included in Windows Vista or in Windows Vista SP1.
   
  As you can see my version (numbers) are alittle different on the end, also the info in parentheses (vistasp2_gdr.090429 - 2357) I don't know what that means.  When I tried to configure the tv signal in Windows Media Center, I was told: the TV signal cannot be configured because no tv tuner hardware was detected. So, how can I find out if there is an internal tv tuner installed and everything is not detected?  My laptop is new - 3 weeks, and I think that all the drivers are current.   While they inspected the help windows vista hardware compatibility list for 64-bit vista tv tuners, I was flooded for more information that I knew what to do with.  I'm obviously not a computer genius and will never be.  I'm open to suggestions.  I just need to know what I have to do to be able to watch TV on my laptop.  Any help will be appreciated! Thank you.

  I recommend you contact the manufacturer of your computer to check for the presence of a TV tuner.

• Windows Media Center visualizations will not work

  My Windows Media Center visualizations will not work for some reason any. its been like that for a while.
  When I listen to music and want to see my office shows that the program is still underway
  I thought it has something to do with the visualizations I instaled on Windows Media player
  (like ribbons and Upcube)
  I tried to remove them, they either come back or he will constantly ask me to go to it

  my system is portable

  • Windows Vista Edition home premium
    • Intel core 2 DUO

    32-bit operating system
    2.00 GB

  I missed a CD command before the directory (since corrected) so orders would be as follows:

  CD C:\program files\windows media player\visualizations\
  
  DIR

  You'll see the DLLs listed here, they are visualizations that have been installed (if the author decided to use directory default visualizations) NOTE: there may also be cases where the author badly spelled directory visualizations and used something like "visualizations".

  regsvr32.exe - u nom_fichier.dll  (use only the indicated file name that you want to remove)

  repeat if necessary.

• Windows Media Center - why it cannot detect TV?

  I used Qosmioplayer and it detects the TV from my Sky Digibox very well signal. However, I would like to record TV with my laptop and when I try to set up the TV using Windows Media Center, it cannot detect anything. I tried every possible permutation and the manual does not give pointers...

  Why the Qosmiplayer works for the entrance to Sky TV, but not the media library?

  Please help it's driving me crazy!

  I assume you are using a lead of areal coaxial standard to connect to your sky box? If so, you need to know which way the sky is coming in the. To do this, use the Qomsio drive to search for channels and when it detects the signal from Sky, it will tell you which way it is passed on. Something like channel 36. OK, now you have this information, start the machine and go into Media Center. You must manually add this channel. As Media center works with the EPG, all channels such as the skyinput must be added.

  So, in the main menu, go to

  Settings > TV > Guide > add missing channels > add channel

  Now enter the channel name you want displayed when viewing. IE SKY.

  Now you enter the channel number 36 IE that you got the Qosmio engine. This will now be held on the next available channel. IE 6/7/8 etc. Everything do you now is go to the channel and it appears at the entrance to heaven.

  Hope this helps

• Media Center TV error: not detected IR receiver.

  I plugged properly the IR cable (and the "pouf"), but I can't turn my TV through Media Center.  I keep getting the error message: IR hardware not detected.     It worked fine until I had to have a new hard drive installed, with media Center - the XP version - need to be resettled.

  • ... My fact computer receive TV (via S-video) signal.
  • And I am convinced that I have the IR cable is connected directly over signage to distance from the box by satellite.
  • My IR equipment was purchased with my computer, via the gateway.  The IR has a name brand on the back, called "SMK".
  I honestly don't care even if the remote control work-I just want to be able to watch (and record) the TV via my computer.   - But I can't complete the configuration of the TV, it me stops with this error message every time.

  Help someone?  Please?

  Thanks for the ideas.  In the meantime, I found a way around, by attaching listeners both ports the pouf - and through various tests, I managed to fool my computer allowing me to configure the TV manually, at least partially.  It is not completely functional - that I can't control my receiver via my computer... but I never able to do this, even if my computer has been directly from the factory.  (and Yes, I have the little 'eye' attached directly above 'eye' on my receiver).  ... At this point, I was kinda afraid to throw my current settings.  But I'll keep your suggestions in case I have have other difficulties or be too frustrated with my set-up.

  Thanks much for the thoughts!

• 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 Media Center Guide does not correct list shows

  I use a Vista Home Premium, the other day I reformatted my computer because I had problems with it. everything went well and media center opens and works very well. However, it used correctly list indicated in the guide, no matter what I do, and it worked properly before the reformat. The channels are listed correctly, if TBS is supposed to be on channel 2, according to the guide, is, therefore, when I go to channel 2 I am indeed on TBS station, BUT even if the show is listed as 'Home' in the guide, which is in read mode is like Sienfeld or some other show. Even when I record programs when it starts recording it will tell me 'Reecording House' and when you go to channel his record some other show is apparently on at that time.

  I tried completely relative to the implementation of the centre, tried to re-do ads guide by using 3 or 4 different postcodes, tried to look in my BIOS to see if my system clock is off, I tried looking for an updated driver but can't find the Media Center or don't know what it's called , and nothing has worked so far.

  What is the problem with my Media Center? Is an off clock that actually play the shows at the wrong time? I've been home 3 days now so please if you know EXACTLY what is wrong just to give me a bunch of things to try, and I'll try them

  Thank you

  -Eric

  Hi eps3742,

  This can happen if the media center guide downloads information guide incorrect.
  I suggest that you try to re installation guide and download the guide for registration again and check if it works.

  To set up the Guide listings

  To find your favorite programs more easily, you can configure your Guide lists to match your local service provider's guide listings.
  1. on the Start screen, navigate to tasks, click settings, click TV, click Guide, and then click Set Up Guide ads.
  2. follow the instructions on the screen to configure the list of Guide for your region.

  If you are prompted to select a TV provider and you do not know which one to select, control a recent draft Bill or statement from your TV service provider to find the appropriate information.

  The providers listed in Windows Media Center vary according to the Postal Code or ZIP. If the supplier subscribe is not listed for the ZIP or the Postal Code entered, try entering local codes find the appropriate Guide listings.
  
  Check out the link for more information below.
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/set-up-Guide-listings-for-use-in-Windows-Media-Center

  I would also say that you check if the time zone in windows is set correctly.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/set-the-clock

  If the previous step fails, then try to download the cumulative update of the Center media of the KB article below and check.

• Windows Media Center/player will not play my AVCHD videos

  I have a Canon Vixia HF R300 that came with a CD-ROM utility transfer, but not with the video ver.2 (Pixela) browser, which is supposed to work with my camera, but does not come with it and I can't find a download for it. I was able to transfer videos on my computer but not able to watch videos, much less edit. My videos have been saved in a folder called TVD_AVCHD, then in separate folders with .cpi and .mts 'pages' and a separate JPEG image. I tried to click on all of these files and used Windows Media Center and Media Player, but it says that no videos not found. Help, please. I know that my videos are okay because I can visualize in my camcorder and my TV.

• In Windows Media Player. Installing the library: an essential part of windows media center is currently not available. Please restart windows media center.__Windows Vista, Home Premium, SP2

  In Windows Media Player. When I try to go to the library of configuration, I always get this error message:

  If I try to run Media Player directly, it won't start.

• Windows Media Center EPG does not have the correct data

  Windows Media Center EPG on my computer is so ugly!

  Description is separated in two, and it's always the last part that displays first, so you'll have to roll down to the bottom to read the description.

  The series is difficult to use, because the series 1) is not always marked as series (so you can select 'plain' Record), and 2) the title contains often series of numbering (e.g. "the bodyguards (1:6)"), so even if it is marked as a series, it will record ever "Guards body (2:6)" or other titles (the Media Center will just try to record any episode of "Bodyguards (1:6)").

  It is the broadcaster who create * data, and then displays in Media Center via Broadcasting Dataservices Ltd., or who are the last to blame?

  What is MS Media Center that does not have the correct data?

  I am in Denmark, if this has an impact on the response.

  Thank you and best regards!
