PVR WMC - MediaCenterWorld

Installatie & Handleiding t.b.v. ServerWMC (PVR WMC)
1) De installatie van ServerWMC
Zorg er éérst voor dat Windows MediaCenter hélemaal geconfigureerd is;
● De map t.b.v. TV-Opnamen is gespecificeerd en zorg er voor dat deze map “gedeeld” wordt
● De locatie t.b.v. de TV buffer is ingesteld (Instellingen/TV/Recorder/Opslag voor recorder)
● De Tuner(s) zijn geconfigureerd
● TV-kanalen zijn gescand en op een “persoonlijke” volgorde gezet
● Je kunt Live-TV kijken
Installer PVR WMC op het moment dat bovenstaande in orde is.
Na de installatie wordt er een snelkoppeling aangemaakt achter;
Startmenu/ServerWMC/ServerWMC
Start ServerWMC en controleer en configureer de app.
Meer info over elk tabblad vindt u hieronder (in het Engels) terug.
Tip: ServerWMC ondersteunt de meeste van de WMC configuratie instellingen inclusief enable/disable
kanalen, aangepaste kanaal opdrachten / kanaalvolgorde en aangepaste kanaal iconen.
Deze instellingen moeten worden geconfigureerd in WMC (niet XBMC)

2.2 General
Start when Windows starts - Starts ServerWMC when the user logs on to Windows. Unless you have a need
to start the server manually at login, this option should be enabled.
Startup minimized - Minimizes ServerWMC to the Task Bar upon startup.
Minimize to system tray - Sends ServerWMC to the System Tray when minimized instead of the Task Bar.
o Close box minimizes to system tray - Causes ServerWMC to minimize to the system tray when the
red 'X' is clicked instead of closing the program.
Suspend system sleep mode when clients are online - Prevents PC running ServerWMC from entering sleep
mode (if enabled) if any clients are connected.
o Suspend sleep even if only client online is MediaBrowser-Server - Prevents PC running ServerWMC
from entering sleep mode (if enabled) if MB3Server is running on the host PC regardless of other
client status.
Port number for client connection - Specifies the port on which the pvr.wmc plug-in will communicate with
ServerWMC. The default port is 9080. Unless you have another program communicating on this port, there is
no reason to change from default. Again, if you were not prompted when launching ServerWMC or you chose
to decline, make sure this port is open in your firewall software before continuing.

Remux the playback of all WTV files - By default, only live streams are remuxed to TS before being sent to
the client. This option enables remuxing of pre-recorded files as well. Raspberry Pi users have reported issues

Note: If you are having issues and need to request assistance in the XBMC forums, it is mandatory to provide a
copy of the log files!!! They contain important information that is instrumental in diagnosing issues and
recommending solutions. Please copy the contents of the file to pastebin and include the link in your post. Posting of
log files directly to forum threads is strictly prohibited per the rules of the XBMC Forums.
3) Troubleshooting / FAQ
•
Can I record to a network share, NAS drive, etc.? - Unfortunately no. This is not supported by WMC. Recordings
must be saved to a drive connected directly to the PC running WMC. This is done because if there is a glitch in
the network connection while recording, it will corrupt the entire recording rendering it unwatchable.
Note: Advanced users can attempt to "trick" WMC into thinking a local drive is being used, using methods such as
linking the recorded TV folder to a network location with a NTFS directory junction (aka symlink) or presenting a drive
from their NAS using ISCSI. In both cases WMC believes it is recording to a local drive, however the drive/files actually
are located on a network device.
4) Known Issues
•
Upgrading from Windows 8 to 8.1 - When upgrading from 8 -> 8.1, it is necessary to re-install ServerWMC.

5) Verbinding van ServerWMC naar XBMC
Voordat te TV functies binnen XBMC kunnen worden aangesproken MOET u een MPEG2 licentie activeren.
Via de volgende website kunt u deze licentie aankopen: http://www.raspberrypi.com/license-keys/
Op alle MCW streamers die u bij MediaCenterWorld kunt kopen is deze licentie uiteraard al aangekocht en ingevoerd.
Als u een ander apparaat heeft waarop deze licentie nog moet worden ingevoerd google dan op de tekst:
“MPEG2 licentie in XBMC invoeren” en u vindt voldoende informatie hoe u dat moet doen.
Hierna kan op elk apparaat waar XBMC op staat en dat met een *vaste* internetverbinding is aangesloten Live-TV, TVOpnamen en TV-Recording worden geactiveerd.
De configuratie hiervoor wordt hieronder “stap voor stap” uiteengezet en behoefd weinig verdere uitleg………………

Geef hier het “vaste” IP-adres van de TV-Server op.
De server MOET een vast IP-adres hebben, dus regel dat via jou router of geef de server lokaal een vast IP-adres.
12
| MediaCenterWorld - Veghel | www.mediacenterworld.nl
Klik op “Inschakelen”
Zet Live-TV “aan” door het te activeren.
Hierna zal een re-boot nodig zijn en het komt soms voor dat de procedure “deels” herhaalt moet worden (!)

| MediaCenterWorld - Veghel | www.mediacenterworld.nl
Nu zouden alle TV functies moeten werken !
Meer uitleg over de configuratie is te vinden op de wiki:
