Overview
ServerWMC is server interface for Windows Media Center which allows it to be used a PVR backend providing PVR functions and electronic program guide data to XBMC though the PVR.WMC add-on. ServerWMC was developed and is maintained by krustyreturns.
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/
Note: 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.
Note: ServerWMC must be installed on the same PC that was configured for Windows Media Center above.
ServerWMC Configuration (Quick)
Launch ServerWMC from the Start Menu. An entry was created during installation at Start/ServerWMC/ServerWMC.
Note: On first run, you should be prompted to allow ServerWMC.exe through your firewall. Make sure to select allow.
Additional information coming soon...
