Windows vista/xp #14

Open stubbertville opened 1 year ago

stubbertville commented 1 year ago

is there any chance of adding vista or xp support? I would understand xp but vista with the 2008 media center update basically makes it windows 7 media center, as well as I know some people who are hell bent on using vista and would use epg123 if supported!

garyan2 commented 1 year ago

There are a lot of differences between VMC and 7MC. For 7MC, Microsoft had published information on the structure of the MXF file to import into WMC as well as provided loadmxf.exe to perform that import. I don't have any information on a structure for VMC and don't even know if loadmxf.exe is included. So, without anything to guide me on how to make it possible, no, there won't be any VMC support.

stubbertville commented 1 year ago

I mean fair enough, https://sourceforge.net/projects/epgcollector/files/V4.0/ found this, it might help!

garyan2 commented 1 year ago

How is epg collector going to help? Does it work for VMC?

stubbertville commented 1 year ago

it seems to support xp and vista, It was just something I found seems like yours but was way less user friendly

stubbertville commented 1 year ago

which btw I do really appreciate what youve done!

garyan2 commented 1 year ago

Yah, definitely way less user friendly and more focused on getting guide listings from the broadcast stream. It can make an MXF file for WMC, but for 7MC and newer. I haven't seen anything for VMC.

stubbertville commented 1 year ago

Said it in the installation txt also needs the 2008 update for vista which changed it to be more like 7

No discord or twitter, but use thegreenbutton.tv mostly for support. Being able to run on Vista is not the same as supporting VMC. Heck, I can run epg123 (server side) on XP, but no way I can support the XP media center. Same goes for Vista without any understanding of how to import guide listings into it, if even possible.

stubbertville commented 1 year ago

Yeah I thought what I sent might help, have you heard of the windows vista extended kernal?

Well then, take a generated mxf file from epg123 or epg collector, edit it to change 'version="6.1.0.0"' to 'version="6.0.0.0"' in 2 places, and try to import it into your VMC.

Import it by using the command shell with 'loadmxf.exe -i "".

stubbertville commented 1 year ago

OK, I will how do I edit it to be 6.0? As well as I am having an issue where the sign in token isn’t working so I have to use a file generated on Windows 7

The mxf file is really an xml file so you can open/edit in notepad.

stubbertville commented 1 year ago

OK, thank you I’ll give it a shot see if it works, also kind of something cool someone is bringing Back the guide for web TV if you’ve ever heard of it, Michal MJD just made a video about web TV, but the guy running the revival server is trying to get the listings to work again

Not surprised. The differences between VMC and 7MC are pretty big and I have nothing to work with to know what they all are to even contemplate supporting VMC.

This could be due to the publicKey being different for mcepg and mcstore. Since I don't have those files, I don't know what they should be.

Well, it's not the publicKey. They are the same, but it could be the version number needs to be 6.0.6000.0 instead of 6.0.0.0. You can try that and import with loadmxf.exe.

I did. It's been a little strange. Changing the version should do the trick but I am getting the same access denied error as you. It is coming from loadmxf when trying to insert an item in the WMC database. What is really strange is I actually got to 94% import complete and then got a "object reference not set to an instance" error and then right back to access denied. I wonder if there is an update missing.

I also tried someone else's MXF file from long ago for Vista that supposedly worked back then but get an access denied on that one as well.

Very very strange, I know the windows extended kernel developer who knows a lot about vista, maybe I could get you two together and maybe we can fix it? I mean if you care to that is
