#PlayTo Tools#
Dot-sourced library of cmdlets to tinker with PlayTo in Windows 8/RT
##Requirements##
- Windows 8 x64
##Install##
- Start an elevated Powershell instance
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
if necessary.- Dot source script
- Call
Suspend-CertifiedDeviceChecks
to disable metadata signature checks - Call
New-DeviceMetadata [-Install] <hardware ID>
to generate metadata for the device needing certification
##Tips##
- Use helper
Get-MediaRenderers
to list all DMRs on the network. - Expand the HardwareID property to get the entire device hardware ID string.
Get-MediaRenderers | Select -First 1 -exp HardwareID
##Uninstall##
- Navigate to
%ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceMetadataStore\en-US
and delete all files suffixed with00000ca710af
. These are metadata packages created solely by this script. - Remove devices associated with the custom metadata
- Re-add devices. Windows will automatically download new (or use default) metadata.
##Pull request ideas##
- Finish Windows RT support (will need restricted language workarounds)
- Add non-US locale support (if needed)
- (your idea here)
