Windows Media Center: unable to see Netflix, Internet TV or application «read more»

Good evening

I spent most of the night trying to get my WMC to work with Netflix and automatic updates.  I've deleted and reinstalled WMC.  I took UAC completely down and turned off the firewall.  I've down leveled for IE8 in IE9b.  I ran all of the options in WMC.  Here are the best symptoms that I can tell you.

Under tasks > settings > General > automatic download Options > I select 'Download Now '.

"Download the latest announcements of guide.  You will be notified when the download is complete.

Then

"The Guide could not be downloaded.  For more information, right-click the Windows Media... »

No icon in task bar available.

Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Netflix does not work in Windows Media Center

    original title: Center meaia Windows

    I use a gateway T-1412 SP2, AMD 64. For a long time, that I was using windows media center units to watch Netflix without problem. For at least 3 years. Now when I click on the Windows Media Center Netflix all I get is INTERNET CONNECTION (there was a data recovery problem. Check that your internet connection is working and try again.) Nothing has changed over the years. Then when I click on the button that says OK I get back to the main screen shots in Windows Media Center. I hope someone can help.

  • Problems with Netflix Plugin for Windows Media Center

    I'd rather watch Netflix through my windows media center, since I can use a remote control, and I watch on a screen more great all in the comfort of my couch.

    It is a huge pain in the rear to have to use the browser Netflix program and must be implemented on the second monitor. So just by using the browser is not a solution.

    That being said, I can not play videos. On Windows Media Center, I open the Netflix plugin, log on to the account, access my instant queue, click on a movie, and then click play. It changes the blue background of the screen, and a small circle of spinning that tells it to load upwards. But then he just argued right out to the previous screen... which is description/options of the selected film (read, delete, find others like it).

    I tried various films of selections. I tried to disconnect and return signature. Restarted the computer. Even uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin from Netflix, BOTH the Silverlight program. No chance whatsoever.

    I contacted Microsoft and they are stumped on this. I was wondering if there is anyone here who had this problem and fixed.

    Hmmm well the problem fixed itself somehow.

    I tried to play a movie again today, and when I click on play, a windows media center style dialog box appears and asks something in the sense of knowing if I wanted WMC to access my netflix account. I clicked 'Yes', and it has loaded the film. I had not seen this before dialog box...

    So I pressed the back button and tried again to see if it was indeed fixed. Yes. I tried again and again with different movies... and it WORKED!

    I guess that the problem is not from my system, but rather netflix or something.

  • I get an error "fix computer clock" when I try to use windows media center with netflix

    I downloaded the software you need to watch your netflix on Windows Media Center. Once I'm inside the Windows Media Center, I click on Netflix, my user name and password for netflix pops up, then I think that enter to go... I get an error message that says "Please update the computer clock you and or update your timezone. '. Both are already up to date, but I get this error message.

  • 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.

    2 options-> properties > look for the choice of the mixer device.

    3. Select your tuner > check all boxes

    4 ok

  • Where is Windows Media center in Windows 7 Professional?

    Simple as that.

    I have a Lenovo thinkpad E420 with no Windows Media center 64 bit laptop. No, not at all.
    Not in the program folder files or in the search bar or anywhere at all.
    Where can I download / get somewhere so I can use it?

    If you have Windows 7 N Edition (available in some parts of Europe) then it does not come with some features, including Windows Media Center. Please see:

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/What-is-Windows-7-N-edition .

    If you do not have a Windows 7 N edition you can download the pack of media features of:

    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=16546 .

    If you have a normal life (not a N) edition of Windows 7, you should see it here:

    Start-> all programs-> Windows Media Center.

    If it is not there then try to turn it on:

    1. click on Start (lower-left) and then on Control Panel.

    2. click on programs and features.

    3. on the left side of the screen, click on 'Windows turn features on or off".

    4. find the entry called multimedia & tick the box next to it.

    (also, expand it and make sure that Windows Media Center is checked)

    5. click on OK.

    6 reset.

    If the multimedia box is already checked, uncheck the box , click OK, restart, then do steps 1-6 above.

    If the above fails, try to find the executable file:

    1. open Windows Explorer. (not Internet Explorer)

    2. in the left pane, navigate to:

    C:\Windows\ehome

    Search for the file (if its there) ehshell.exe

    3. right click on ehshell.exe and create a shortcut/pine on the tasks/pine bar in the Start Menu.
