PVR/Contents
ServerWMC is software for Windows which allows Windows Media Center to be used a PVR backend. It provides an interface to the recording and EPG services that WMC uses.
Configuring Windows Media Center
Windows Media Center must first be fully configured (tuners configured, EPG configured, channels setup, etc) on the PC to be used as the TV Server. This setup will vary slightly based on the tuner you are using. The following is setup information for popular devices:
- HDHomeRun - http://www.silicondust.com/support/hdhomerun/instructions/wmc7/
- HDHomeRun Prime - http://www.silicondust.com/support/hdhomerun/instructions/prime/
- Ceton InfiniTV Products (All) - http://cetoncorp.com/product-support/
Though Windows Media Center must be configured, it is not necessary for WMC to be running to provide the connection to ServerWMC. Please insure you can view live TV from within WMC before continuing!
Installing ServerWMC
The latest version of ServerWMC can be found here: https://googledrive.com/host/0ByNnAMYBoWvfTk8tRWJXYko1T2c/index.html
ServerWMC includes an installer package so simply download, unzip and run Installer_ServerWMC.msi as administrator.
ServerWMC must be installed on the same PC that was configured for Windows Media Center above.
