Operating System Windows 8 (1 Viewer)

Actually I think the best sollution would be to create a Metro app that uses MP-Extended. After all ARM computers will most likely be tablets you use "on the move".

Yes, that is what I intended. I checked my Beta Installation of VS 2011, but it does not allow me to add a Web Reference at the moment (strange)

The next future is nearby - kind of such dongle or LAN connected board http://alwaysinnovating.com/products/hdmidongle.htm
with win8 WOA or ICS could make whole home solution for media watching

Cool, if you end up doing it, perhaps you could work With the creators of Metroportal and have the same UI as they do?

OK. My skills to get this working is not good enough. I have tried SQLexpress and get different error.

I simply cannot get the TVservice to start ... Anyone with more luck ?

I noticed the following line appearing in the error log whenever I attempted to start TVservice:
* ERROR, OS can't be used for MediaPortal *

I Googled for it and found that exact line in the source for MediaPortal. What has happened is Windows 8 is version 6.2, which falls through their OS check and deems it an OS prior to XP, hence the error message. I modified the code to support Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, and recompiled with VS2010. It works.

I don't think it would be fit to upload the code into a stable branch in Git until MediaPortal's TV server backend is thoroughly tested on Windows 8. So for the interim, the modified code is available here:

All you need to do is extract the contents of the zip file into the MediaPortal installation, and the TVservice should start without any issues.

Is that needed for the TV-client or just the server?

This worked a treat for me with the Windows 8 Release Preview. Thanks Pcgeek21!

Hi Nathan

Could you provide a new TVcontrol.dll for the 1.3.0 alpha install ?

I cant figure out how or what to alter to compile the correct TVcontrol.dll correct.

Thanks

Hi there..

Since the RTM is out for TechNet and MSDN subscribers, Will we see a installer working for the Win8 OS soon.. I've just went out and bought some SSD goodness for the HTPC's and wandering what the wait time will be.. I remember with Win7 it was around a week if I remember correctly.

Thanks

Does MCE remote work on win8?
