Windows Media Center: No data is available after update of the guide

• Guide to Media Center TV - data not available

  Messages: 1

  This message was reported.

  Win7 Media Center w/tuner works very well for several months. Starting 2 weeks ago I get "No. DATA AVAILABLE" for all channels on the guide. Without the guide, I use the interface provided with the tuner card (not good UI) to see the future registrations and registration of calendar events.

  * Live TV works fine
  * Having uninstalled and reinstalled tuner drivers
  * When I ask to update the info guide it is said "a download is already underway"
  * When I go through the SET UP TV in Media Center it hangs on 'download current guide info' (if I skip this step, it turns out, but give the message 'serious mistake'.)

  In short - everything works well EXCEPT the download of the guide.

• Windows Media Center photo date AND time

  Is it possible to have Windows Media Center to deliver photos in Date AND time order.  I have several photos taken at a given date in my folder, but WMC puts in the random time sequence in a date.  My Pictures folder is in date and time order

  Hi gingerandbuddy,

  Follow the steps below to organize photos in media center in groups.
  You can only group by alphabetical order and date wise, but you can also add the tag for photos that would make it easier to find photos.

  1. on the Start screen, navigate to pictures + videos, and then click picture library.
  2. click on Folders to sort your files and folders in alphabetical order, click date taken to sort your folders and files by date or click tags to sort your files by tags that have been applied. (To learn more about labels and how to use them, see tag pictures so they are easier to find.)

  Back on the Windows 7 PC, I see the mcx1 file it under the users folder. But when I got to the tools, it says no set Extender in place.

• The keyboard on the Windows Media Center screen does not appear when I hit the enter keyboard key!

  I searched through the internet trying to find a solution to this annoying problem: after change to enter the registry and the application of the value entered for showOskOnKeyboardEnter under MCE. PerUserSettings, I always have problems serious on-screen keyboard to appear by using the key "Enter" on the keyboard.  I managed only a couple of times to get the OSK to appear among the dozens of attempts, however, I am unable to recreate the actions - is absolutely not stable.  The only area that reacts to the 'Enter' key is looking for music.  All the fields in the section of Netflix and movies search fields are unresponsive.  Not even works tap triple function.  The only compatible and possible way to have the OSK appear is to double click on the field - that does not work given that the goal is to have an IR remote with the Media Center application interface.  The button 'OK' on the remote control is mapped to the Enter key (except if WMC has a key code value for the 'OK' button).  Help, please!

  I had this problem and it was very frustrating.  The posted solution did not work for me initially.  What I've discovered, is that you have closed Media center before editing the registry.  If you change it while it is open it does not pick up the change and then save settings (i.e. with showOskOnKeyboardEnter = 0) when you close.

  Then...
  1 close Media Center.
  2. follow the steps of the posted solution: http://mymce.wordpress.com/2011/04/20/on-screen-keyboard-in-windows-media-center-doesn ' t - appear /
  3. Open Media Center.
  Should work now.

• Windows Media Player 11 Date added function - please stop repeating the date for EACH file.

  I have been using Media Player 9, decided to upgrade to Windows Media Player 11, and the only thing I can not stand on Player 11 is how it sorts Date added media files.  In Player 9 when I chose the column Date added, the program would list all the files on a given under a SINGLE date.  With Windows Media Player 11 it lists EACH file with a date so that instead of see Tuesday, December 14, 2010 once and then listing all of the files under it, I see Tuesday, December 14, 2010 about twenty times.  I download podcasts once a week and dump it on my phone, but it's a worry now.  Is it possible to stop Windows Media Player 11 to repeat the date again and again and force him to the date that the list only once?  Think back to Player 9.  Alex

  Hi Alex103,

  It's design in Windows media player 11 and it is also included in Windows Media player 12.

  However, you can uncheck this option, follow the steps below:

  a. open windows Media player

  b. right-click on one of the sorted column

  c. click Choose column

  d. uncheck data added

• Windows Media Center Scheduler service is not running, even when the value of autostart

  I had some trouble recently getting Windows Media Center to record programs. I did some research and found that Windows Media Center (ehSched) Scheduler Service does not start when I start my computer.
  It IS configured to start automatically.
  When I found that the service has not been started, I have manually started, but would find it himself quit again a few minutes later.
  It of very frustrating and resulted in missing the scheduled recordings.
  The only way to save that program is open the WMC and actually watching the program for the duration of the scheduled recording. (Not good if I'm not home!)

  I am running Windows 7 32 bit SP1 on a laptop of Toshiba Satellite A500.

  Help, please!

  Hi the Flomsat,

  I would say looking at the following thread because it's a question similar to yours:

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-pictures/Windows-Media-Center-no-receiver-or-Scheduler/ed3672f4-7a17-419B-833A-df02fdf2af24

  I tried all the solutions on this thread. None was able to solve my problem.

  However, I found a fix that MAY have worked (it's only 1 day but so far it looks promising).

  Open Windows Media Center,

  Click on settings-> General-> optimization-> uncheck to "perform an optimization. I never noticed an increase in performance and reliability with it turns out, in fact, now that I think about it, when I turned it on, my Scheduler service started having these problems. It must be able to close the Scheduler to 'optimize '...

  It did NOT work

  I had to reinstall windows to get it working again :(

• Windows Media Player 12 does not work after you choose the initial settings

  Hello
  I tried to use windows media player 12 on my computer laptop windows 7 and it won't work. It worked the first time and I chose my settings, but it would not open the player itself. I tried to do it on the guest account, but it's the same thing. Does anyone know how to fix this? -Chris

  My post was actually in response to JRTLOVER:

  Why we cannot uninstall and reinstall from the CD just Media Player... or is there a way to fix this?

  I have seen that it was already proposed earlier in this topic, my apologies.

  Regarding your problem, have you tried to launch directly executable WMP? To do this, click Start, type wmplayer.exe in the search box and press ENTER.

  You should also check if WMP is already running: start the task (Ctrl + Alt + Delete) Manager, look for one or more elements called wmplayer.exe on the process tab, select each item and then click end process , then try to start WMP again.
