• Cannot delete files from Windows Media Player library.

  Original title: deleting files problem

  I deleted a large number of music of my WMP library & computer files, but they are still listed in WMP. I can't play any of them as they were deleted, and I get a message telling me so when I try! Why are they still displayed in the list and how do I get rid of them? I tried to restart, changing the target folder, etc., without change. I even tried to remove all of the library (but not the computer this time) and they do not always go!

  Hi Jamie,

  Welcome to Microsoft Community where you can find all the answers related to Windows.

  According to the description provided, looks like you are not able to completely remove the files in Windows Media Player.

  I have a couple of steps that should help you to solve this problem.

  You can try to clear the database of Windows Media Player and check if it clears the titles and generic icons.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  Method 1:

  1. exit Windows Media Player.

  2. click on Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player in the start search box and enter.

  3. Select all the files in the folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

  Note you don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

  4. restart Windows Media Player.

  Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  Method 2:

  If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. exit Windows Media Player.

  2. click on Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the start search box and enter.

  3 select the folder Media Player, and then click delete on the file menu.

  4. restart Windows Media Player.

  Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

• I have a problem with adding and deleting files in Windows Media Player.

  Media Player will not play the selected files but then goes on to play other files. When I delete the files from the media player and try re - add I get the message "the media player is installed incorrectly. Have tried to reinstall media player, but it always fails at the implementation stage. It seems that the link between the player and the music files has been corrupted. Further, I have not found another way to read these files! They are referred to as Windows media audio files. Is that mean that only Media Player can read? I have hundreds of music files. Any help please? I can't upgrade XP on this computer so intended to stick with it for another year or so.

  When you move digital media files on your computer, the file name and file path information remain unchanged in your library.

• Play AIFF files in windows media player

  Hello

  I'm reading some AIFF files in windows media player. I get the error message "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."

  As WMP supports AIFF files I guess it's a problem with the codec.

  Is there a solution out there that I can play the files?

  Cheers, Matt.

  Where are the files? Are you sure that they are in the AIFF format?

  You can try to install FFDShow . If this does not help, please open some of the files in GSpot , this program will signal the audio codec used in the file. Then, you can report this codec here.

• Problem with the playback of an audio .asx file in Windows Media Player.

  I'm not able to play an audio .asx file in Windows Media Player on the Windows Vista-based computer.

  I get the following in a pop-up error message:

  Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the specified protocol is not supported. If you typed a URL in the open URL dialog box, try using a different transport protocol (for example, "http:" or "rtsp:").

  Hello

   
  1. facing this problem with the .asx format?
  2. you remember to make changes to the system?
  3. where is the file?
   
  Error message: "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the specified protocol is not supported. If you typed a URL in the open URL dialog box, try using a different transport protocol (for example, "http:" or "rtsp:"). »
  Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the specified protocol is not supported by the player or not supported by the server.
  If you encountered this error by clicking a link on a Web page, the link isn't valid.
  If you encountered this error by typing a URL in the open URL dialog, try opening the file using a different transport protocol (for example, "http:" or "rtsp:").
  The following is a list of protocols supported by the player and the correct URL syntax examples:
  
  (a) MMS://serveur/nom_fichier (for example, a file with a .wma, .wmv, .asf, or .mp3 extension)
  (b) http://server/filename
  (c) rtsp://server/filename
  (d) mms://server/sami.asf? SAMI = http://server/sami/sami_demo.smi (SAMI file)
  If the Player supports the protocol you used in the URL and you can't always read the content, check that the drive is configured to use all of its supported protocols.
   
  To configure the protocol settings
  (a) in the Player Windows Media, on the Tools menu, click Options.
  (b) in the Options dialog box, on the tab of network in the Streaming protocols area, select all the checkboxes (Multicast, UDP, TCP, and HTTP) Protocol, so that a check mark appears in each.

• How to play .asx files in Windows Media Player

  original title; Can I play a video file of .asx with WMP? or if not, how to play with this extension .asx files?

  Can I play a video file of .asx with WMP? or if not, how to play with this extension .asx files?

  When I try to play the file, WMP shows error then update says "video codec".

  How then can I get this update for the video codec?

  Thank you, Michael Phelps 907

  Hi Mike,.

  an .asx file is not a media file. It is a file that contains a pointer to a content online. So if you are unable to read a .asx file and are able to play other files using Windows Media Player so the best thing is to open the .asx, a Notepad file. When you open the .asx using Notepad, you will see a link that starts by http: and so on. Please copy this link and go to Windows Media Player. On the Windows Media Player window, press the Alt key on the keyboard and click file and Open url. Paste the link and check if Windows Media Player is able to open the link. If she opens the link this is a problem with the formatting of the .asx file and if it does not open the link then it is a problem with the server online of the .asx file. It could be that it is deleted from the server.

  Hope this information helps. Keep us informed on the status of the issue.
