Play TiVo files in Vista Media Center

[domtrump]

I've searched all of the suggested threads in this forum, but there never appears to be a clear answer. I am running TiVo Desktop 2.7 on a Vista Ultimate 32-bit machine. The files play just fine in Windows Media Player, but the program hangs if I try to stop them before they finish. Anyway, I want to play them using Vista Media Center instead. From within Media Center, I do not see any options that will allow me to open the .tivo files. I tell VMC to "watch" the folder that contains my TiVo files, but it doesn't find anything in there.

Can anyone offer clear, concise instructions on how to force my .tivo files to show up and play in Vista Media Center? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I'm right there with you with the same exact issue. However, I am running Vista 64-bit. Every thread just ends with no solution.

Surely this is possible? Has anybody out there had any success?

I get VMC to see the files when I tell it to watch the folder, but it always says the file isn't playable. It works great in WMP.

Windows 7 Media Center finds them, but it seems to not play them.
