Enthusiasts can also piece together a system out of discrete components as part of a software-based HTPC. An HTPC can be purchased pre-configured with the required hardware and software needed to add video programming or music to the PC. An HTPC system typically has a remote control and the software interface normally has a 10-foot (3 m) user interface design so that it can be comfortably viewed at typical television viewing distances. HTPC and other convergent devices integrate components of a home theater into a unit co-located with a home entertainment system. The term "media center" also refers to specialized application software designed to run on standard personal computers. Since the mid-2000s, other types of consumer electronics, including game consoles and dedicated media devices, have crossed over to manage video and music content, such as the PlayStation 3 and the Apple TV. I assume it was done yesterday (June 5, 2013).A Mac Mini as a home theater PC showing Apple's discontinued Front Row interfaceĪ home theater PC ( HTPC) or media center computer is a convergent device that combines some or all the capabilities of a personal computer with a software application that focuses on video, photo, audio playback, and sometimes video recording functionality. I'm unsure which of the 3 tuners were used, but they all start with what is listed above, which should be adequate.the -x would be -0, -1, or -2. Afterwards forward me the device ID and the channel number and the time you tried to play it etc. Then run Media Center and try to play a channel. Please check "Send diagnostic information to SiliconDust support", and power cycle the HDHomeRun PRIME as instructed above. It is a little bit of a round-about way since I am talking to the SiliconDust support, but I am not using the device directly. Quote -If the issue persists, please enable the sending of diagnostic data on the Advanced tab in HDHomeRun Setup, power cycle the HDHomeRun PRIME, reproduce the issue, and reply back with the device ID for the HDHomeRun, the channel number you tried to watch, and the time you tried to watch it, and we will check the device logs. However, it could be that other applications do get network access while Media Center does not.Ĭan one of you guys help me with debugging this? Nextpvr works, wmc and mediaportal (although just with air and not through cablecard). If there was any connectivity issue then other software would not work either. The symptoms are repeatable on several computers. Quote from: aiwntrmute on May 28, 2013, 08:25:48 pm -As I have mentioned this, I also have my firewall disabled.
