• Xbox 360 scan windows media center for the new music?

  I just added some new music to my windows media center and the music does not appear on my xbox 360. is there a way to synchronize?

  Hi nwills,

  Ideally, the Xbox 360 should automatically scan if new music is added to Windows Media Center. However, you can also manually synchronize as follows.

  a: you can connect the Xbox. The Xbox Dashboard, select 'My Xbox', then select 'Windows Media Center' to receive the eight-digit code. This code allows your Xbox to recognize your media player on your computer.

  b. you can set up Windows Media Center on your PC. Click on the "tasks" and select "Add Extender". A screen will appear asking you to enter the eight digit of your Xbox 360 code.

  c. play music on your Xbox. Select 'Windows Media Center' in the menu 'My Xbox' and start playing music.

  Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

• Xbox 360 and Windows Media Center interfere with the operation of the Vista computer.

  Since the implementation of an Xbox 360 for the family to use, turning power switch and return to the dashboard caused Windows Media Center on the laptop family to turn on automatically, which, in some cases, interrupts programs and blocks computer. Sometimes the computer will be same turns on automatically when the XBox is turned on.

  I've done everything I can think of to stop the problem, including 'disconnect' XBox WMC in the "Uninstall" the XBox and the XBox settings in the settings of WMC. I do not anticipate using WMC in the near future, I just want to stop this crazy to happen.

  Thanks in advance for any help and please ask if you need more information on my problem.

  Hello ebduhamel,

  1. what type of connection you have between the computer and the Xbox, it's a cable or a wireless connection?

  2. is it to wake up the computer from standby or everything just stops?

  I suggest you try the steps below and check if you have the same problem.

  This could be possible only if media sharing is enabled on your computer.

  I suggest that you turn off media sharing and make sure you always have the same question:

  a. click the arrow below the Library tab, and then click media sharing.

  b. turn off media to find that others share and share my media to check boxes, and then click OK.

  By clicking OK, you confirm that you want to turn off sharing for yourself. You will also be asked if you want to turn off sharing for everyone who uses this computer. Note that if you let one of the selected check boxes, some sharing services may continue to run in the background.

  c. When you are prompted to turn off sharing for everyone who uses the computer, follow these steps:

  To make your changes apply to all users of your computer (including yourself), click Yes.

• Running and Xbox 360 via Windows Media Center

  Hello, I am a new student of college, and because my funds are limited I am using my Xbox 360 via my PC monitor. When I bought my computer, I got also a HDTV Tuner with composite video options. Through their software, I could connect my xbox and see it, but I was wondering if there was a way I could do it through Windows Media Center or something similar. I saw that there is a cable that goes from the Xbox to VGA, but I think that there will be problems with the sound (where I have the red/white audio cables?). Not sure if there is a converter or not, but like I said before, funds are limited. Thanks for all your help and I look forward to hear from someone as soon as possible.

  Tyler Campbell

  Hey TechTyler,

  Since you have only one monitor and want to connect your PC and X - Box for the same monitor, I suggest that you try to find a separator that would help you get out of the XBox and the PC. You can use one of those to get the result on the same monitor of 2 devices. Who would use a VGA cable to connect 2 devices. You will be able to switch between your PC and the X - Box.You can try to search separator you can use to connect two monitors. I hope this information helps.

  However, we at microsoft do not recommend or suggest one of these, you will need to use them at your own risk.

  Thank you

• How do I share files on Xbox 360 without Windows Media Player or 3rd Party applications

  Windows 7 sharing media files to the xbox 360 without media player

  I know that I can use Media Player 12 in windows 7 to share files on xbox 360 using the libraies, but I used to be able to share without media player and I would like to be able to do it again, but I can't seem to get my shared folders will appear on xbox. I don't know if I need to use folders to share public or not, but someone has all the answers on this for me?

  I use my xbox 360 to watch the video content streamed from my PC pretty much every night through a continuous connection to the xbox. You do not need Media Player or any other 3rd party application to video media IF THEY ARE THE RIGHT SIZE for a XBOX, you just need the PC configured for videos, turned on and networked with the xbox

  It is simple and quick, and depending on the content, there are two methods that I use:

  (1) as Etzel42 has described - in Windows 7 Control Panel > network and sharing Center, go to Advanced sharing > Media Streaming, select "chose the flowing media options...» ». If the Xbox 360 is running and put in place on the same (Local) network as the PC it will be displayed here but the value "blocked." Just change "Authorized" and click ok. (If you do not see the Xbox 360 listed here then the Xbox and PC cannot see each other on the network. You must address this issue before anything else).

  Once that streaming media is running, the video files you want to share with the Xbox is in addition to your video library. This can be done in en allant going to the computer, right-click on the 'Vidéos' library, go to 'Properties', then include the video or files to share. As a double check that all video files are available for the Xbox, open Media Player and see if he can see all the files/folders that you added. Close Media Player now, you do not need it works for watching videos on the xbox

  Now, go to the Xbox, go to the dashboard in my Xbox and video library. You should see the name of your PC as a selection. Open it and then open the folders that you added to PCs video shops and once again, if media files are in the right play on the Xbox, watch now format!

  (2) configure the Xbox Extender and Windows Media Center, and then run Media Center on the Xbox, this will allow you to play any kind of media format on the Xbox that you can play on the PC. It is ideal to play the Xbox formats cannot be opened natively too, it's pretty darn picky.

  In both methods you have not need of any application is running on the PC. Simply be turned on and available for the Xbox via the network. The Xbox will do the rest. In fact, one nice feature of the library on the Xbox 360 is that if your PC is in standby (Sleep), Media Center will wake up the PC.

• How can I turn off the xbox 360 controller wireless for pc

  How can I turn off the xbox 360 controller wireless for pc

  Hello!

  I made a small application for this! It is called XboxExt (Manager of the Xbox 360 controller). There is no way to disable the controller in a failure to properly on PC. With the Games Games for Windows Live you can press the GUIDE button on your controller, and you can turn it off.
  So my app is doing the same thing, but not only with Games for Windows Live games. So you can use it anywhere, anytime.

  I can view is no longer the video files to the format AVCHD using Windows Media Player on my desktop.

  I could at some point... but now all I get is audio, no video.  The files open and work on

  my laptop that also uses Windows Media Player... but for some reason now... nadda.  Seemed

  This all started when I upgraded Windows more late service CAP and also installed Real Player.

  Help!

  Hello

  • What version of Windows are you using?

  1. it is possible that you are missing the codec to play the file or it is clashing with other codec files.

  2. the link provided below lists supported by Windows Media Player file format.
  It does not list the AVCHD or. MTS files supported file format directly:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992

  3. yet we cannot be sure at this point that the issue is due to interference with some files.

  Method 1:
  Alternatively, you can perform a restore of the system to a previous point, when the issue was not present. The System Restore tool uses points of restore to return the system files and settings to an earlier point in time. You can use it to restore the operating system to a point in time where you have not experienced the problem.

  Note: When you use System restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  To do this, there must be a restore point from the system in which the connection was successful.

  Please refer to the below of the help links on performing a system restore.
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-is-system-restore
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/system-restore-frequently-asked-questions

  Method 2:
  You can determine which codec was used with a specific file; read the file in the player, if possible. When the file is playing, right-click the file in the library, and then click Properties. On thefile tab, look at the Audio codec and Video codec sections.

  Then you can uninstall any installed codec and install that you need to do the job file.

  If you have several codec for the single file to work they can clash and cause problems.

• change the order of the images displayed in Windows Media Center

  I'm changing the order that pictures are displayed.  To try to change their order of appearance, I changed the photo taken date of some photos.  When I go through the pictures in Windows Photo Gallery, they appear as I intend.  When I go through the same pictures in Windows Media Center (by date taken) some photo are out.  But they are not the photos that I've changed.

  Once they appear in the correct order, I intend to burn to DVD with background music.

  Thanks for your help.

  Hello donb113,

  ·         Have you tried to update the media library of the Center once you have changed the order in which the photos are sorted?

  You can delete and any location where you have saved your photos (media files). This will refresh your Media Center Library and sort files in the order that you have sorted your computer.

  1. on the start screen, navigate to tasks, and then click settings.

  2. click on the library settings.

  3. click on remove the folder to watch and then click Next.

  4. According to the where your digital media files are stored, click one of the options under which folders you want to add?, and then click Next.

  5 navigate in the folders that you want to add by clicking on the - and + buttons, and select the check box next to each folder. (Files in subfolders will be included with your selection).

  6. When you have selected all the folders that you want Windows Media Center to watch, click Next and then click Finish.

  After you have finished adding files, it may take several minutes for the files in the libraries.

  Follow the same steps and add the folders back.

  This will add the files in the order that you have saved on your computer.

  First a simple question: are you sure that your laptop supports Bluetooth?
  AFAIK the Qosmio F20-155 was delivered without the BT module.

  In addition, if you are not sure if the phone has BT then you can check the bottom of the unit. It should be placed a label BT if the Bluetooth has been installed.
