From what I can glean from Jellyfin's documentation, it doesn't directly support tuners other than the HDHomeRun, and the only live TV plugin I see listed is ServerWMC, which I can't use because I don't have Windows Media Center.Īre there any solutions out there right now? If not, what would it take to develop one? I do have development experience (though not a lot of free time. I'm open to using any free software that would make this possible (I have MediaPortal and I'd been using the MPExtended plugin for Emby, although MPExtended seems to be dead). I have a Hauppauge 1196 tuner connected to my Windows 10 PC, which would be the server. For example, on the HDHomerun Setup there is a dropdown box to select 'BDA Compatibility Mode'. Someone suggested I check out Jellyfin, and I'm intrigued, but it's unclear to me whether it's possible yet to stream live TV with my setup. Many external tuners also work with Macs.I'd been using Emby to stream live TV from my HTPC over the internet, but Emby recently removed live TV as a free feature, and I've had enough frustrations with Emby that paying for premium ain't gonna happen.
The prices for some external tuner boxes may be higher than a standard internal TV tuner card, but many bring along their own apps so you can also stream live TV to your mobile devices. If you do not already have a TV tuner card in the computer or want hardware that connects to the PC externally, several companies make tuner boxes to pull in those over-the-air broadcast signals.
Both MediaPortal and NextPVR are free and supported by donations. NextPVR is another program that can record live television from the TV tuner hardware connected to your PC. The software works with most major brands of TV tuner cards. If you are keeping your existing PC and internal television tuner card when upgrading to Windows 10, the open-source MediaPortal program might be able to take over the TV viewing and recording functions formerly handled by Windows Media Center. If you do not feel like searching the web for do-it-yourself solutions that may (or may not) restore the Windows Media Center program to working order on a Windows 10 machine, you can find a few alternative applications. Microsoft’s retirement of the Windows Media Center software is one of the many things about the system that has caused some Windows 10 users aggravation. So what are my options now, should I ever decide to leave Windows 7 for Windows 10?Ī. I was one of those who used Windows Media Center not just for playing DVD movies, but also for watching and recording live, free broadcast TV on the computer.
