Media Center-VGP XL1B

[lothlorian]

Hello everybody!
                        I finally clean installed windows 10 pro in my VGX XL1A. I woukd like to know if definitely theres no way to instal media center in windows 10. Is there any other software compatible wich can control the VGP XLB changers?  I really will appreciate any information. Thanks a lot!

Go to How-to Geek or any of the other sites on the web and type in Media Center with Windows 10. I used the How-to Geek version twice, it’s a little involved but it works. I switched back to Windows 7 because with Windows 10 I lost the eject button and some other functions. Now that Microsoft has shutdown the metadata server for Windows 7 I might go with KODI. With Sony and Microsoft shutting down software support, soon the VGX-XL’s may become total functionless.

You could always hardwire the eject button, then it will work with Windows 10. An easier, but less elegant, workaround is to install a software button. With a software button you can create a short cut to a wireless remote or keyboard.
