error remoting wmp, empty list and WMP error

[Bert]

Hi all,

I got a weird thing happen with my MCC. I got it running on a Win7 64 Bit machine since the setup last year and everything worked as expected.

I can still connect through my tablet but when clicking on a the Music tab all I get is Please wait... which stays there forever.

The same happens with other tabs like TV (can't go into the channels list, Now, Prime Time, Best of the Day any more) and the Photos tab.

The Streaming Radio (webradio) which worked fine before shows just 'Empty list'. Checking the config on the Win machine shows all radio station still in there.

I can still use the icon-based remote control feature in MCC on the tablet and navigate through the WMC menus, start music, movies and TV but not through the normal MCC app.

I noticed the MCC creates an error message in the background (you need to minimise WMC) saying 'Can't establish a connection to the media player). It comes up after 3-4 min as a normal Windows error windows.

The server_debug says:

So, it has something to do with the WMP obviously. I haven't changed anything at the config of Windows apart of the usual Windows Updates.

I'm not sure where to go from here, any help is much appreciated.

Thank you, great app though!

Cheers,
