Happy 4th birthday MCE
Chris wishes MCE a happy fourth birthday and posts this fun infographic:
Ah Media Center… We have been through a lot together :), always lots of ups and down. Unfortunately today marks a down day; I have a very recent build of MCE running at home and it’s crashing on average two times for every hour of ATSC DVR-MS playback. Not very confidence inspiring!
Here’s a pic of the Media Center MVP’s back at the launch of Media Center [2002] in Bryant Park in New York.

The crashing sounds familiar — I can record content and watch it via an extender, but if I try to watch it using MCE I BSoD within 30 seconds. Are you using an ATI card? I’m running RC2 with RTM beta ATI drivers — seems to be a display driver bug (has been happening for as long as I can remember).
I have an ATI x700 and was using the drivers from WU. After a very painful night of crashing last night I switched to a unreleased beta driver and so far no crashes. We’ll have to see though.
I too suspected that I might not have problems when viewing from an Extender but was too lazy to set it up last night and opted to try the different driver instead.
Crikey it looks different.
