• Xbox 360 scan windows media center for the new music?

  I just added some new music to my windows media center and the music does not appear on my xbox 360. is there a way to synchronize?

  Hi nwills,

  Ideally, the Xbox 360 should automatically scan if new music is added to Windows Media Center. However, you can also manually synchronize as follows.

  a: you can connect the Xbox. The Xbox Dashboard, select 'My Xbox', then select 'Windows Media Center' to receive the eight-digit code. This code allows your Xbox to recognize your media player on your computer.

  b. you can set up Windows Media Center on your PC. Click on the "tasks" and select "Add Extender". A screen will appear asking you to enter the eight digit of your Xbox 360 code.

  c. play music on your Xbox. Select 'Windows Media Center' in the menu 'My Xbox' and start playing music.

  Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

• Running and Xbox 360 via Windows Media Center

  Hello, I am a new student of college, and because my funds are limited I am using my Xbox 360 via my PC monitor. When I bought my computer, I got also a HDTV Tuner with composite video options. Through their software, I could connect my xbox and see it, but I was wondering if there was a way I could do it through Windows Media Center or something similar. I saw that there is a cable that goes from the Xbox to VGA, but I think that there will be problems with the sound (where I have the red/white audio cables?). Not sure if there is a converter or not, but like I said before, funds are limited. Thanks for all your help and I look forward to hear from someone as soon as possible.

  Hey TechTyler,

  Since you have only one monitor and want to connect your PC and X - Box for the same monitor, I suggest that you try to find a separator that would help you get out of the XBox and the PC. You can use one of those to get the result on the same monitor of 2 devices. Who would use a VGA cable to connect 2 devices. You will be able to switch between your PC and the X - Box.You can try to search separator you can use to connect two monitors. I hope this information helps.

  However, we at microsoft do not recommend or suggest one of these, you will need to use them at your own risk.

  Thank you

• Why Media Center interfere with the master of local network discovery?

  At home, I have a mixed network of 5 win7, XP 3, xbox, pills and devices multimedia TV.

  The network relies on a specific working group name (that all windows computers use) not homegroup.

  This works well until my Win7 computer that is configured as a DVR with media center becomes the 'master' for LANs to discover.  Then only the Win7 computers on my local network.  All the XP computers disappear.

  Why is this and how do I solve this problem?

  It feels like the 'master' for local networks is chosen randomly.

  Why Media Center interfere?

  Can I stop this interference or inhibit the computer to be ever "master local network media center?"

  I use a free app called lanscan to give me a list of computers available in each perspective of computers.  When the broken state this app fails to list anything except on the Media Center computer.  Lanscan also shows the computer hosting the network discovery.

  Thanks in advance.

  I have over 30 years of experience with computers but my network is just enough to get me in trouble (and keep changing the rules)

• How do I share files on Xbox 360 without Windows Media Player or 3rd Party applications

  Windows 7 sharing media files to the xbox 360 without media player

  I know that I can use Media Player 12 in windows 7 to share files on xbox 360 using the libraies, but I used to be able to share without media player and I would like to be able to do it again, but I can't seem to get my shared folders will appear on xbox. I don't know if I need to use folders to share public or not, but someone has all the answers on this for me?

  I use my xbox 360 to watch the video content streamed from my PC pretty much every night through a continuous connection to the xbox. You do not need Media Player or any other 3rd party application to video media IF THEY ARE THE RIGHT SIZE for a XBOX, you just need the PC configured for videos, turned on and networked with the xbox

  It is simple and quick, and depending on the content, there are two methods that I use:

  (1) as Etzel42 has described - in Windows 7 Control Panel > network and sharing Center, go to Advanced sharing > Media Streaming, select "chose the flowing media options...» ». If the Xbox 360 is running and put in place on the same (Local) network as the PC it will be displayed here but the value "blocked." Just change "Authorized" and click ok. (If you do not see the Xbox 360 listed here then the Xbox and PC cannot see each other on the network. You must address this issue before anything else).

  Once that streaming media is running, the video files you want to share with the Xbox is in addition to your video library. This can be done in en allant going to the computer, right-click on the 'Vidéos' library, go to 'Properties', then include the video or files to share. As a double check that all video files are available for the Xbox, open Media Player and see if he can see all the files/folders that you added. Close Media Player now, you do not need it works for watching videos on the xbox

  Now, go to the Xbox, go to the dashboard in my Xbox and video library. You should see the name of your PC as a selection. Open it and then open the folders that you added to PCs video shops and once again, if media files are in the right play on the Xbox, watch now format!

  (2) configure the Xbox Extender and Windows Media Center, and then run Media Center on the Xbox, this will allow you to play any kind of media format on the Xbox that you can play on the PC. It is ideal to play the Xbox formats cannot be opened natively too, it's pretty darn picky.

  In both methods you have not need of any application is running on the PC. Simply be turned on and available for the Xbox via the network. The Xbox will do the rest. In fact, one nice feature of the library on the Xbox 360 is that if your PC is in standby (Sleep), Media Center will wake up the PC.

• "Windows Media Center cannot detect the IR control cables, which are necessary to control the set-top box. Fixing parts IR that supports the IR control cables and then try again. IR HARDWARE NOT FOUND ".

  Original title: when setting up Windows Media Center, I get the error message: "IR hardware not detected".

  I have an internal TV Tuner that has been installed by HP, when I bought recently a "computer build-your-own." (According to the control panel Device Manager, my tuner is a Win TV HVR 1290, made by Hauppauge). The computer came with Windows 7. While installing Windows Media Center, after setting up the TV Signal (on channel 3) I am able to see a video thumbnail on my computer screen. I am also able to change the channel using my remote control U-Verse (not the Windows remote control supplied with the computer). So far so good! I then hit next and get the following message: "Windows Media Center cannot detect the IR control cables, which are necessary to control the set-top box. Fixing parts IR that supports the IR control cables and then try again. IR HARDWARE NOT FOUND ".  After you receive this message, the installation procedure is completed. I called HP that support intalled the tuner. They had not the slightest idea what to do. I then called Hauppage customer (manufacturer of TV Tuner). They said that I need to plug one end of the IR Blaster cable that shipped with the computer in a slot in the back of my computer (they told me which slot). They said so to run the IR all the way cable to my cable box and the other end of the cable to my cable box of band. They said it was necessary to be able to use my Microsoft Remote to instruct the box to change channels (cable IR stuck on the box). I told her that I did not use the Microsoft Remote, I could change the channel with my U-verse remote (that I preferred to use anyway). He said that it took the cable on the band decoder in order to remove the error message and the installation of Windows Media Center. I then called U-Verse technical adapter who informed me of their set-top boxes (made by Cisco Systems) do not have the ability to receive signals IR IR Blaster cable (or any othe IR signal source). Microsoft is apparently not understand how U-Verse set-top boxes are designed to work and sells a product incompatible remote control/IR. My question is this: How do I set up Windows Media Center, in order to avoid getting the error message "IR hardware not detected" when you install Windows Media Center and just use the remote control of the U-Verse that I prefer to use in the first place. Once understand you this point, please send the information to HP, At & T U-Verse and others. Thank you.

  Ron, I have something for you!

  and for all the people who have this problem :)

  Hi, I had the time of IR not detected in Windows 7 Ultimate with a TV wonder 650 card and a box of digital adapter from Verizon for my PC... Go on the road to installation and after the Media Center channel search, choose manual configuration. Choose the aerial signal (I aso picked after this analog) l. After he sought more, he finds no channels.  Do not be afraid. Just accept it and go to the main settings page in the Mediacenter. If I remember correctly, then select TV Guide. Choose Add channel. I added the channel 3.

  Since my Verizon box has no IR for the computer, I added the channel 3 for the media Center and I change the channels with my Verizon remote. All my stations in the Verizon box go to Channel 3.

  The story here is so, for some reason any Windows detects that only my box channel signal TV and you must manually configure the media center on the air, then go to settings and add the channel you want in the guide.

  Why the guide TV control which channel you can tune is beyond me, but the scanner locks all channels, it does not detect. they must be added manually in the guide.

  My TV works and looks okay now.

  It actually works!

  the only problem is that it is not in HD

  but there is something

• Cannot get remote windows media center to change the channel on Cisco DTA50! Help!

  During the TV signal together towards the top there is no option for "Cisco".  Then I select "Unlisted" and setting up tells me there is nothing that can be done and leave the whole upward. Media Center will learn the remote control IR codes because it does not pick up the DTA remote this process.   I was finally able to get a "tv signal" implemented by choosing comcast, although this isn't my cable tv company, , but still the wmc remote will not change channels on the DTA cisco. The wmc remote works fine and changes channels in the real of windows media center, but because the string must be changed on the real DTA there on some channel I entered on the DTA remote. Since I use record TV WMC, indicates on the guide, it's impossible, unless I can get the DISTANCE WMC, put in place to change the DTA channels!

  I need help!

  I was finally able to set up the remote after tweaking autour with IR receiver. I have even connected infrared diffuser!
