Media Center Service Turned Off

Dec 27, 2009

I am trying to get my XBox 360 to find my PC, or get my Windows Media Center PC to find my 360 as an extender.

For some reason every time Media Center searches(put in the 8 digit code on the PC) I get:

"Media Center Extender Setup failed as the Extender was detected on the network but the UPnP search for the Extender failed (timed out after 20000ms)."

in the event log.

It shuts off my "Media Player Extender" service(stops it and changes it to "disabled"), and unchecks the Windows Firewall box allowing Media Center Extenders through my home network.

I've tried disabling my router's firewall (Linksys WRT54GS) and Windows Firewall, then restarting the Media Center Service and still get the same message and results.

I've enabled uPnP, and disabled "filter multicast". I've tried messing with the Xbox's IP settings, but that wouldn't cause my PC to shut off the services.

I've done just about everything I can find on the internet to fix it and nothing has worked so far, have only seen a couple of threads talking about the service shutting off by itself.

I'm about to the point where I'm going to re-install Windows 7, but I haven't had it for very long at all so I doubt a "fresh" copy will make any difference. Read more at the forums...

I have added the library for recorded tv and verified that the scheduler service is running. When I select a show for recording, it seems to accept it and shows the red dot in the guide, but when the show time begins - it doesn't record.

Use 64bit Media Center With 32bit Media Player?

Jul 25, 2011

I'm in grave problem here. I just installed windows 7 x64 a few days back. And initially I installed the 32bit version of k-lite codec pack for my windows media player. The media center worked fine then. It was loading my ffdshow and ac3filter along as I checked it.But then yesterday I noticed that the same pop-up od recommended/express install of WMP came again. Initially I thought that it must be some bug or something, but then when my MKV and AVI files didn't work in WMC, I realized that somehow WMP x64 got triggered, and now it is using the x64 bit of WMP in WMC. And I just wanna revert back to 32-bit WMP in WMC.

Media Streaming Is Not Turned On?

Jan 15, 2011

I want to stream to my files to my PS3. My problem lies in that clicking the 'Turn on media streaming' button does not do anything. I've tried clearing the .wmdb files in the "%userprofile%Local SettingsApplication DataMicrosoftMedia Player" folder, but it appears that WMP is not able to populate any of my files in its "Library" (I don't actually use WMP, I use Winamp).I had it working in the past but don't know what I have changed. Also, I am using HomeGroup as there are other units in the house on Win7.
