PlayTo Tools (archived)

Library of cmdlets to tinker with PlayTo in Windows 8/RT

Requirements

  • Windows 8 x64

Install

  1. Start an elevated Powershell instance
  2. Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted if necessary.
  3. Dot source script
  4. Call Suspend-CertifiedDeviceChecks to disable metadata signature checks
  5. Call New-DeviceMetadata [-Install] <hardware ID> to generate metadata for the device needing certification

Tips

  1. Use helper Get-MediaRenderers to list all DMRs on the network.
  2. Expand the HardwareID property to get the entire device hardware ID string.

Get-MediaRenderers | ? Name -like "popcorn" | Select -exp HardwareID | Select -first 1

Uninstall

  1. Navigate to %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceMetadataStore\en-US and delete all files suffixed with 00000ca710af. These are metadata packages created solely by this script.
  2. Remove devices associated with the custom metadata
  3. Re-add devices. Windows will automatically download new (or use default) metadata.
