Re: Restricted Content Message on old MCE Recordings



Let us know if the restore from Recycle operation also restores the license info - I personally don't know, since I never had to deal with that aspect of it.

That'll be useful info for everyone reading this thread :-)

BTW (and OT), the Trash Bin in the Mac doesn't seem to have a restore operation. You can copy or move the file anywhere you like, but I haven't found any way to figure out how to get it to the right place unless you remember exactly where it came from :-(

Thanks Gene, I will try that. I didn't know that was an option in the Recycle Bin. Learn something new every day. I did try shutting down the media center service and copying them back, but that didn't restore the license info. I will try the "restore" option as you suggest.

Thanks. Bobby

Have you tried selecting one or more files in the Recycle Bin and choosing File | Restore?

Hi Jason,

One more question regarding this problem. I stated that I had deleted the files in the DRM subdir. All info is retained in my trash basket. Is there a way that I could restore the info, since I have all the deleted files in the trash basket.

Thanks. Bobby

Hmmm, that was the more disruptive fix, of which, there had been a less disruptive fix released as mentioned here...

New hotfix available to fix protected content playback errors in Update Rollup 2 for Media Center 2005
http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2006/04/14/576752.aspx

This was released in April of 2006.

Unfortunately, all your old stuff is now gone, as you had deleted the licenses for them.

I'm surprised you weren't able to pull up a more recent solution, which would have certainly mentioned the above blog and the links to the associated fixes. Sorry to hear that you lost access to your pre-drm fix content...

Hi Jason, thanks for responding and your help. I have copied the post that I
used below. This did correct the problem with viewing premium channels. It just left me with not being able to view older recordings. The post is from
3/26/2006:

It sounds like your DRM store might be botched.

If that is the case, try resetting it by following every step of these
instructions.

To fix it, follow these steps.

1. Goto your command prompt (Start, Run and type CMD) and enter the command
'net stop ehRecvr'
2. Close all your applications that might be accessing anything DRM related
(Media Player and the like)
3. Delete all the files within this directory "C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\DRM" (Note that the Windows Media DRM folder is a hidden system
folder., so you may need to change your settings to allow hidden folders to
be shown). If you cannot delete the files, reboot and repeat the first two
steps.
4. Individualize the Windows Media DRM system by going to this link -
http://go.microsoft.com/FWLink?LinkID=34506
5. Install the Media Player update so that subsequent media related installs
don't trample over your DRM -
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=295F822B-957F-408E-88BA-1510F481BF9A

That should fix the issue for all your future recordings so you don't run
into this issue again.

Hi All,

I didn't seem to find any questions related to this, so am posting my
question.

I had the problem of viewing premium channels and getting the restricted
content message. I got that fixed with a solution from Jason Tsang. I can
view with no problems now. However, now all of my older premium channel
recordings spread over 3 hard drives gives me the restricted content error
message. Is there a fix or work around for this?

I have tried recording off of premium channels since I fixed the original
problem and viewing and watching recorded programs works fine. It seems
that
only viewing older recordings are now affected.

Thanks. Bobby
