    It's difficult to diagnose but if its just started happening have you done anything since it started (installed a patch, bug fix, upgrade, etc? You could try disabling said item or change the configuration settings in the media centre. Another option is to run a system restore back to a date when you know things worked ok.

    Has it been set as the default media device - you can change it in settings.

    Windows Media Center would be brilliant if they sorted out all the little bugs, had it working a few times streaming through my Xbox and it was great (for a short time)...can't even find it in Windows 8 though?
