The channels has no sound in MCE?

If you have no sound in MCE when the picture shows up, it can be caused by several reasons. - The channel is playing AC3 sound, and you have redirected AC3 through the SPDIF In this case you need to either choose a different sound channel(SID) or change windows setup so its played locally, if it possible with your hardware. - the channel is currently set to a SID which has no audio available. Go into MyTheatre and rightclick the current channel, select "update from sat", and select ok after the update. rightclick and choose the sound channel below. - the codec used for MPEG sound is not available. Install FFDshow, which supports MPEG audio playback.

Message "is MyTheatre running" shows in MyMceSat

You have not confired MyTheatre correctly, or you have used an old version of MyMceSat, where you manually need to copy files into the respective places. - Download the latest release of MyMceSat and install this. - Configure the plugins - MyMceSat plugin configuration - Enter the ip address 127.0.0.1 into the "network settings" -> address - In "network protocol" enable "HTTP/RTSP"
If you have changed the original "index.htm" settings in the mce, these settings will need to be changed in MyTheatre as well.

From version 0.2 Always broadcast is ALWAYS needed, as the old broadcast plugin is not in use anymore.

Troubleshooting missing picture?

If Windows Media center does not show any picture within the mce, you can start by testing , if you can see the picture within Windows Media Player.

Try to enter this line into WMP:    MyMceSat://port:5000 

If you get any problems here, it indicates that Mytheatre plugins are not configured correctly.

Please review the readme for the configuration of the plugins once more.

If you wish to just have the picture and audio viewed remotely, then it is possible indeed.
