21 of Firefox opens not mp3s in Windows Media Player

I put the option program of file type for the two 'windows media player' and 'request' and Firefox always opens the mp3 in a generic player in a new tab MP3s played in the popup from Windows Media Player (after download) fine in the latest version of Firefox 20.X. I tried to disable the Microsoft WMP plugin (the only way to prevent them from opening in a new tab using Quicktime was to disable the plugin (QuickTime).

MIME MP3 settings in Quicktime format have been unchecked and the settings of Windows extension all are defined on Windows Media Player as the default player for MP3s.

Hello sewing1243, 21 firefox now uses the codecs that are included in your operating system that allow him to directly read mp3 and mpeg (also for html5 videos). in order to disable that, enter about: config in the address bar of firefox (confirmed the message information where it appears) and search for the preference named media.windows - media - foundation.enabled. Double-click it and change its value to false.

Another way to download files without tweaking the above-mentioned preference would be to click right on the link that leads to an mp3 file or right click on the drive in firefox and choose to download the file like that...

    Music has become a huge problem for me.   My car CD player only supports mp3 format.  I wish I could burn my CD from which I get used various locations, so that I can play in my car. Or convert files I have, which are not in mp3 format.  I played the same CD in my car for years.  It's a little sad.  And convert mp3 no mp3 files, so I can play them in my car, because I don't have a player other than Windows media player and speakers belong good markets.   How to convert files to wma and wav and mp4 and what not in mp3?

    Music is expensive nowadays and the multiple formats and thus loss of music bought and in the cloud, or itunes 'cannot locate the source' will not play, and when devices in the event of a failure or who are upgraded drives me crazy.  I have more music in my life and I wish that we would go back to portable music as CD.

    I usually use Windows Media player to RIP CD, that I find at thrift stores.   I have my brother gave me, on the PC that is in all sorts of types of music files.  I found a job online converter and it is, according to me, so thank you guys for suggesting that.  Have tried 3 different ones and finally found one that works in the last one.  I think my brain might need a bit of adjustment, of our days, (won't tell you music I have on CD, would seriously date), no kidding, but probably my PC could also use the setting.   I also have itunes for Windows, but have hardly used it.

  • Mobile device does not synchronize with Windows Media player

    My mobile device (Pharos Traveler 137) running windows media 10 mobile player is not detected by Windows Media Player 11 running in Vista.  Connected and synchronized correctly for months, it is not so now, even if the mobile device is detected by the computer and synchronizes correctly for other purposes such as outlook, files, etc..   How to get Windows Media Player to detect once more unit (specifically the card 8 GB storage) in the window of synchronization?

    Hello
     
    1. don't you make changes before the show?
    2. is the device detected on the computer?
     
    Step 1: We recommend that you check if the sync settings are correct. To do this, follow these steps.
    1 open Windows Media Player.
    2. click on the arrow below the Sync tab, point to the device, and then click Advanced Options.
    3. the Properties dialog box for your device is displayed. Tab sync, box start sync when device connects checkbox.
    4 restart the media player.
    The next time that you want sync, connect the device to your computer and click on the Synchronize tab, then click Start Sync.
     
    Step 2: Add a device to sync in Windows Media Player.
    1. start Windows Media Player and connect your portable device into a USB port on your computer. A box of "Windows Media Player ‑‑ Device Setup" appears, showing that he recognized the device and provides an opportunity for you to name your device.
    2. read how the player will sync your device, which is directly under where you type the name of the device. If storage of the device is more than 4 gigabytes, for example, and your library on Windows Media Player fits on this device, the player chooses automatic.
    3. selection of automatic synchronization means that your device will reflect all your Windows Media Player library and it will do so that whenever it is connected. Click on "Finish".
    4. to synchronize only some of your library when the player chose automatic, you can choose what will sync when you open Windows Media Player. Click on the portable device in the right pane and drag the items you want to synchronize with this device.
    5. selection of a manual synchronization indicates that the player has detected that the portable device has no place for your entire library. Click on "Finish". Open Windows Media Player, select the portable device in the right pane and drag the items you want to synchronize with this device.

  • Coventing VOB to avi not playable on windows media player

    I have a HOME VIDEO (i.e. There is no license no questions here) I have a program that allows to convert VOB files to avi so that I can store the video on my computer, and then play using windows media player, etc...

    However, I can't get windows media player to read the file if I convert VOB to AVI using mpeg2.  This isn't a good option, but it works.   Other options for the avi settings include:
    INTEL IYUV codec
    Microsoft Video Codec I
    XviD codec MPEG-4

    With all this, when I try to run windows media player avi files which result gives me the following error:
    Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file.

    How can I get a high quality VOB to AVI conversion that will play in windows media player?  I need to find somewhere new codec?  If yes where?

    Brian Smith

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers forum.

    Windows Media Player and. Read VOB

    Windows Media Player (and) Windows Media Center should be able to natively playback unencrypted. VOB files. As long as the whole structure is there you can point Windows Media Center in the folder root containing records audio and video TS. To display a local copy of your movie in Windows Media Center everything you need to do is Add the folder to the watch list. You can select and then ideally in your library or you can do the following to access the files using Windows Media Player.

    Opening. VOB in Windows Media Player:

    1 or you can right click the upper Video_TS. VOB and select Open.

    2. click Select a program from a list of installed programs, and then tap OK.

    3 uncheck always use the program selected for this file type.

    4. click on Windows Media Player, and the family film should start playing.

    If you still prefer to compress the files rather than using Windows Media Player or Media Center, you can see this technical document. This document describes the types of files supported in Windows Media Player.

    Let's go into the details.

    I have the old Matrox rt.x100 video card (full screen on an external monitor only with windows media player + live show video plugin), so if I want to open a livestream of youtube video and play on external monitor through the Matrox card I need wmp.

    Beacause it, is there any chance and the possibility of open url directly in Windows Media Player?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,

    I don't disagree that VLC can, but it's obviously research any HTML content on the page, to jump beyond all the toolbars, comments, announcements, links and... then find the video, determine the FLV or a video that is wrapped in the HTML5 or Flash wrapper, then play the open content.

    This will never come to WMP.
