Where is Console View? RRS feed

  • Question

  • Do I have to do anything special to enable Console View in Windows Media Center? I have the "Home Server" option and the TV Archive selection, but no Console View.

  • Console View should be there. Have you tried reinstall the Windows Media Center connector to see if that solves it?

  • On Vista there is a Home Server addition to the MC menu and it is under there.

  • A reinstall of the connector software did not solve the issue, in that it does NOT show the Console View in the same place as the screenshot here: http://blogs.technet.com/homeserver/archive/2009/07/17/windows-home-server-power-pack-3-beta-includes-enhancements-for-windows-7-based-computers.aspx

    However, I checked under Extras as reakhavok suggested and viola - both the Console View and the TV Archive options appear there.

  • My guess is that it is down to different builds of Win 7 - I would guess that Stephen is running a much later build when he did the screenshots for his post.
