Windows Media Center is no longer regular registration of programmes; Windows 7 64 bit

I am out of resources here; for several months, I used Windows Media Center to record TV on a digital antenna using a USB stick tuner. I can still watch live TV and I can record TV, but recordings don't work anymore.

If I start Media Center when a show is planned, it will start recording, but this is the only time where he records.

It has no errors in the event viewer, and indeed if I activate WMC when a show is expected it will say something like "started recording as planned at 11:15" even if it was actually planned for 11:00 (11:15 when I started WMC).

The broadcast of programs as provided in WMC before they air, but do not appear in the history (that is, there is no message "could not save") thereafter. It's as if they were never.

WMC Scheduler service is running. I removed and added WMC. I've cleared my schedule and began again. I changed the drive on which the records are stored. In all cases, the programs do not register unless I start it manually, or start WMC after the show was supposed to start.

Any ideas on what I can try other than a reinstall full Windows?

Posted this on the forum of tecnet so will set post here.

OK, I finally solved the problem.

The error was caused by invalid or corrupted registry in the following text entries:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache\Tree\Microsoft\Windows\Media Center

When I removed the WMC she removed only some entries not all the following have been left in the registry:

mcupdate_scheduled

StartRecording

PvrScheduleTask

So I deleted C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\ehome & removed WMC, I then made a backup and deleted the key to Media Center. I then reinstalled WMC and make run the TV setup, checked the registry and found that the Media Center button had been replaced by new entries.

Finally tested LiveTV etc., regular programs of record, and finally SUCCESS, all planned recordings recorded without problem.

Remember to always back up the registry or create a restore point before you attempt to change the registry.

  • Can burn CDs in Windows media center is no longer

    burn cd in windows media center, and then was going to burn another cd and I clicked on the wrong question and the issue of burning anything never comes to the top, it is nonsense.

    I also suggest that run you the automated Microsoft Fixit for problems with the CD/DVD.

    It helped when I couldn't burn DVD on my personal computer.

    a. open the article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
    b. Article, follow "step 1: perform a clean boot" the implementation of these measures will disable all programs not Microsoft currently running on the computer.
    c. restart the computer and check if the problem persists.
    d. If the problem does not persist in the boot, it means that another non-Microsoft program is causing the problem.
    e. to find the program that is causing the problem, try "step 2: enable half the services" to "step 6: resolve the problem.
    f. Once you find the culprit, check if there is any updates to update or fixes to the program. If you find, install them and check the difference or reinstall the latest program.
    g. Article, follow "step 7: reset the computer to start as usual.

    Step 2: If the problem persists, check the event logs for more information and after return details

  • Media Center is no longer 'sees' the .avi in library files

    I could see & load avi files in Media Center until recently, but now they do not appear in the library. WMV & wtv files are ok.

    I can 'open with' windows in the center of WM and drive Explorer avi (and put the Center as the default association) so it doesn't seem to be a codec problem.

    I don't know if that was the cause, but I loaded it Final Media Player through "Trusted software" for an ogg file. I don't seem to have more than 1 or 2 restore points, so I can't retrieve using this because auto updates are regular so. There is no file with the Final player association.

    I tried Shark007, but he did not heal it.

    How can I me media center to recognize these files in its libraries? Thank you!

  • Windows Media Center won't add DVD files to its library which do not affect the disk C on Vista

    Hi people,

    I had Media Center works well with more than 104 GB of movies in the library.

    I ran out of disk space and a 1.5 TB drive was added to the system.

    Once this new space has been initialized, I moved all film to him records and updated the path in Media Center to 'Look' that new folder.

    Media Center can no longer see or read these films.

    I deleted all the files associated with the WMP 11 app (APPDATA\Local\Microsoft\Media player to rebuild the DB but no difference.

    Does anyone know how to activate the Library Media Center pull in DVD files outside the C drive?

    Thank you
    Derek

    Holy Cow,

    I just found the answer in an article at www.paraesthesia.com/archive/2008/09/12/how-to-set-up-a-dvd-library-in-windows-media.aspx

    The library 'Add folder' does not work in the Menu 'Settings' of Media Center.

    On the other hand, it works via a right click on the window of DVD library.

    IE: when you're in the Livrary DVD, right-click and choose Add movies.

    This is a bug not documented in Media Center!

  • Button 'Back' on the Windows Media Center remote is not recognized by Windows 7

    I am currently using the Windows 7 RC.  I have been for awhile now.  Recently, while trying to use the Hulu app, I noticed that the 'back button ' on my Windows Media Center Remote no longer worked to switch from the full video on the menu.  I contacted the support of Hulu and they guided me to an online tool that shows the output of a button on the remote control.  All other keys work fine, but the 'Back' button doesn't produce any output.  This means that Windows itself is not recognize the key.

    The button works in Windows Media Center, itself, but it does not work when I am in Windows.  It worked fine for the last few months and I had not used for about a month (and reinstalled the RC) and now it no longer works.

    The receiver displays in the form of "eHome Infrared Receiver" Device Manager and when I try to update the drivers it says I have the latest version.  Something seems to be wrong with either the driver or there is a problem in Windows 7 itself which is the cause of not recognizing this key more.

    Well, I tried using the key on the keyboard and which worked to switch between menus.  I accidentally hit the ESC key on the keyboard, which worked to switch between the menu and the video as well.  Out of curosity, I tried a few other buttons on the remote control then and the 'Clear' button, which is down by the pad on the remote works!

    Thanks a lot for your help mark! :-)

  • 'windows media center' on Vista32 and Vista64 can't see movies on 'disc of Windows 7 "

    I have 2 Windows 7 machines.   We have a lot of movies (VOB files) 3 TB drive.   The other Windows 7 machine can play movies very well since Windows Media Center.  But I have 2 other machines (a Vista 32-bit and a 64-bit Vista).  The two Vista machines can see through Explorer, but in Windows Media Center movie files, nor machine can find movies when I try to add them to the library.

  • m1070n media center power problem

    I am running XP Pro on an HP m1070n media center & is no longer powers upward. I checked the power supply & it tests OK. I noticed that when I plug the cable of 12 volt 4-pin on the motherboard that the power supply light turns off and stays off. If I let the 12-volt cable disconnected and the power led remains lit on the back of the computer. What is a bad mother or some other hardware problem? I've changed most of the things inside a computer, but never a motherboard. I have thousands of photos of family on this computer & must try & recover. Should I consider the delivery back to HP for service (which I think would be very costly), or it would be easy enough to simply buy a new computer & recover photos to a new system (for example, Windows 7)?    Thanks for reading this.

    Given the age of this 'July 5, 2004', I wouldn't recommend giving it at the service of HP.  It will not be worth the cost.  If "thousands of family photos on this computer" are on the hard drive, then who can be saved.  The issue "it would be easy enough to simply buy a new computer & recover photos to a new system (for example, Windows 7)?   Yes I can't answer for Windows 8, but I guess it's just as easy.  Just get a these: http://www.amazon.com/Drive-Adapter-Converter-Optical-External/dp/B001OORMVQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1359482606&sr=8-3&keywords=USB+3.5+hard+drive+adapter

    or something similar.  Remove the hard drive from the old computer, cannot connect to the newly purchased, adapter plug plug USB and copy the images on the new computer or DVD, or an external hard drive.

    BTW: I would like to make an extra backup of all the photos on a regular basis to other media of your choice of future protection

    Before purchasing Windows 7, follow these steps:

    Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

    If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

    Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.
