Windows Vista/Windows Media Center/Internet TV BETA

• Windows Media Center - Internet TV - availability and navigation of the full episodes.

  With regard to the full episodes of Windows Media Center - Internet TV.

  I've seen a few questions about this in the Microsoft Answers forum, but 2 / 3 times the official response was unrelated to the question asked. So, to be clear, I'm not talking about watching live TV, navigation in my TV guide, TV recording, or watch recorded TV shows. It's strictly about the availability of the property and to navigate to find full episodes on Internet TV.

  There are a few ridiculous clips ginormous and only a small handful of full episodes. I hate clips. In a busy life, they are the opposite of the useful. So, instead of going through every single show individually to see if it contains full episodes, I want a way to browse shows with full episodes. Is this a problem of training or an enhancement request? Is there a way to filter the full episodes only?

  I would also like to be able to filter my search of full episodes. It seems ridiculous to me if I want to just full episodes, I have to go through a long list of clips in the search results to find. Again... ask for the issue or the development of training?

  I'm also confused why some shows that have full episodes on the site of the network do not have full episodes in WMC Internet TV. I know it's a matter of content and perhaps not something, you can contact... is it be restricted by networks?

  Thank you!!

  Hello

  All the content comes from the provider.  I hate watching the clips too and there is not much Microsoft can do about it. It is sometimes frustrating to go through all the clips to find full episodes. The only thing you can do is to provide feedback to microsoft to enhance the functionality of Media Center search to find full episodes.

  I'm sure that there are many ppl who like to have an option like this!

• Windows Media Center Internet TV

  When I try to access internet TV via Media Center, I have a box saying that it is not available in the Canada. I live in the State of New York. How can I fix it?

  Hello runner55,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forums.

  Check if task | Settings | General | Automatic download options has both the 'recycled CD album art... of the internet' and 'download automatically... '. "options checked? If both are checked, then click the 'Download now' and if you are prompted, walk through the internet connection wizard, then click again on the button 'Download now'.
  If you get the notification that the download was successful, then return to the start menu and you should see internet TV and Netflix.

  If you're still having problems, then I suggest that you post at www.thegreenbutton.com \forums. It is a Microsoft Website and only deal with themes Windows Media Center.
  They would be better placed to help with your problem.

• Windows media center, internet-tv "blockages" units.

  I have experience of random blocks, watch TV on the internet.

  I'm looking for the download, or the 'good' solution for this problem. LV

  Hello, Lee

  You have problems using the Internet TV in Media Center or another snap-in an online service?

  If the attempt to add-in, reinstall the Internet TV application: go to start, Control Panel, programs, uninstall a program, select Internet TV for Windows Media Center and choose uninstall.

  Then, open Media Center and re-install the Internet TV application.

  In addition, make sure your video drivers are up to date.

• Windows Media Center crashes on Vista when you try to play Netflix

  I can connect to Netflix and discover my queue and all the rest. I can view the details of the episodes and so forth, but when I click on 'Play', Windows Media Center crashes and restarts itself - every time.

  There are other problems in Windows Media Center. Sometimes it freezes during the display of other media, such as Internet TV. I had my computer more than a year, and this is the first time I tried to use Windows Media Center, so I don't know if it worked before.

  I tried to find an update for it, but all that I've tried say that it applies to my system. (I always install the automatic updates). I also ran the Fix It program, which says it completed, but which did not help.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Hi farrelldoc,

  1. What is the error message you receive library breaks down?

  2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  3. what Microsoft fixit did you run on the computer?

  There is a known issue on some computers that have a chain very long user agent in Windows Internet Explorer. This problem occurs when the user-agent string exceeds 260 characters. There is currently no work around supported for that matter.

  For more information, see the Microsoft article and try the steps mentioned below.

  Known issues and limitations of Netflix on Windows Media Center for Windows Vista

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/972496

   

  For the Windows media center crashes when viewing other media issue try the following procedure.

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you perform a clean boot and check.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

  (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

  (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

  (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  I hope this helps!

• Reset the library in Windows Media Center on Vista Ultimate

  Any way to reset Media Center, so it restores the library of images, video and audio?  I need to start all over again because it won't let me control my own destiny.

  Media Center has found all kinds of stuff on my readers that I don't want to appear in its menus.  No, it's not _, but I can't see how this could be a real problem.  Is finding all sorts of photos of various I don't want not shown.  I wouldn't have to revamp my hard drive in an attempt to hide the stuff of Media Center.  That's all just crazy!  Media Player 11 is much better behaved.

  Once Media Center detects something it got him to it!  At least it seems that way to me.

  It would be a great improvement if Media Center show you a list of files that it finds and then gives you the ability to remove or add to this list.  MS apparently he dumbed down so that you can do.  Then after that it's must rescan and update everything.  Media Center development team please talk to the development of Media Player 11 team and see how they do.

  Apparently, it cannot detect that I moved my Public folder to another drive.  He is always looking for C:/users/Public and won't give up his research there.  I empied on all my music, video, photos, etc. under my user so it won't find anything be it next time around.  Now, I just need to find a way to reset the library from scratch.  It would be a nice option to have on task!

  Another option would be to score a registration file in Media Player/Media Center with a power button set with a right click on the folder.  Carbonite for that because he's back in line ups and it couldn't be simpler!

  This is really an excellent product to be almost useless for me.

  BajaPaul,

  Windows Media Center takes advantage of your information to the Windows Media Player library. We will need to edit your library here.

  <><><><><><><><><><><><>

  Add or remove watched your library folders:

  Open Windows Media Player, click on the library tab and choose the type of media (video, music, photos, recorded TV) then press F3 on your keyboard to open the Add to library window, press Advanced Options, make your selections for your library folder (by selecting Add, Remove, ignore or Enable), click on OK.

  Now, let's remove existing content unwanted from your library:

  Press on the library tab, choose the type of media (video, music, photos, recorded TV). Now select library in the left panel, displays, select file. You can now right click on the folder you want, and then select delete, to the notification area select delete from library only, press on OK. Alternatively, you can right-click on any multimedia file and follow the steps above to remove.

  Note: Pictures and video in Windows Media Center libraries automatically monitor your current user photos and video records. Any multimedia content added to these folders will be automatically analyzed in your Media Center, which includes the folder Public under C:/Users, place only the content you want to add them.

  <><><><><><><><><><><><>

• Recently I had to reinstall Windows Vista Ultimate Edition and Windows Media Center displays now is no longer the Netflix app.

  Also, it does not display the internet tv options.  He displayed a week before I did reinstall it, so why not now?  When I go the the media center Web site and try opening netflix from there he tells me to upgrade to Windows 7.  The upgrade is not an acceptable answer, because this isn't a free solution to a problem that did not exist last week.  I turned on automatic downloads, I clicked the download now, so everything should be updated.  How can I get the dos applications?
