• Cannot play music files in Windows media player hard disk external.

  Hello

  I tried for a while to play the transferred music from my hard drive external.

  I tried all sorts of things with WMP and it's just not going to play the files.

  I canoe play my music.

  The thing is that it shows the albums and songs listed there.

  But when I open a song and try to hit the room then a box opens with a warning.

  Say that Windows Media Player cannot find file.

  This has never been a problem with older media players.

  I tried to re - download the player, but it's not part of windows more I guess and that sucks.

  I want the old player back.

  This was very frustrating, I hope someone can help.

  Thank you.

  Robert

• Cannot play a DVD in Windows Media Player

  When you try to play a DVD on my PC using Windows Media Player, Real Player, etc.. I get an error that reads: "Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with the digital copy between your DVD drive decoder and video card protection. Try to install a driver available for your video card. I searched everywhere for an answer and although there seems to be a LOT out there with the same problem, I can't seem to find a straight answer. All Microsoft support is appreciated.

  ===============================================
  DVD playback requires a DVD decoder and the only versions
  Vista that included in Home Premium and Ultimate.

  Take a look at the following article:

  I get "Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD
  because a problem occurred with digital copyright protection"(C00D1163)?
  http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/KnowledgeCenter/mediaadvice/0094.mspx#E3B

  DVD decoders are available at the following link:

  Info about DVD decoders:
  Plug-ins for Windows Media Player
  http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/plugins.aspx

  FWIW... before installing the software, it is always better to create a system restore point.

  And... you can be able to play your DVDs with the free VLC Media Player:

  A last possibility would be to install a codec Pack:

• 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.

• DVD video disc play is not in Windows Media Player, possible decoder problem

  A DVD was made product with a video camera of the dance show to my child. However, the dvd on my hp Pavilion 772n burner will not play it. The operating system is XP and when I try to play the DVD in Windows Media Player, I get a message "...". compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer. Interestingly, the DVD disc plays in a DVD VCR connected on television.

  What should I do to play the dvd on the pc?

  On XP you must install software that can play DVDs. Both Vista and Windows 7 that include by default.

  Here is a (quite old) Microsoft article describing what you see: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/expert/bridgman02april15.mspx

  On XP, I used to use the card nVidia PureVideo Decoder for playback DVD with Media Player. It seems to still be available, but is chargable:http://www.nvidia.com/object/dvd_decoder.html

• When I play a DVD on Windows Media Player I get almost no noise through the external speaker on my laptop

  Original title: no volume when playing DVDs

  When I play a DVD on Windows media player I get almost no sound through the external speaker on my laptop. I get some, but it is too weak to really enjoy the movie. If I use headphones I can hear the DVD very well, and I can hear the clips DVD sample provided with my computer on my speakers and headphones. If the computer can generate the volume correctly, but something goes wrong, whenever I try to play a DVD that is not on my hard drive. I tried every button volume already. Thank you

  Hi amorchien,

  1. He played very well earlier?

  2 have you tried to play the DVD in another computer?

  Step 1:

  In Windows Media Player.

  a. click on tools and select Options

  b. click on devices and click on DVD, then select Properties.

  c. make sure that Rip and playback are in digital mode.

  Step 2:

  This problem can be caused by incompatible codecs. I suggest that remove you / uninstall all installed third-party codec packs, players or video record programs.

• How to play files FLAC with Windows Media Player 12

  Is it possible to play files Flac with Windows Media Player 12?  A high percentage of my music library is FLAC.

  Thank you!

  Hello L Goldfine,

  Thank you for your inquiry.

  The extension Flac is not a type of supported Windows Media Player file. However, you can user your favorite search engine to search for a solution that can convert the file in a supported file type Windows Media Player.

  For more information on the types of files supported by Windows Media Player, you can also view the following link:

• Not able to play songs directly from the Windows Media Player library.

  Original title: Windows Media Player won't play songs unless I have...

  WMP plays the songs, unless I directly go where the file is located and open like that.  It works just fine. The problem is a lot of work. I play usually just in my library on shuffle. Many songs will not play this way, though, but like I said, they work fine when I open the file from its location. There is a blue circle with an exclamation in it that says "WMP can not locate this file. The file may have been deleted or moved, or the path may be incorrect. "I checked the location, and they are there. Help, please!

  Well, looks like your Explorer library WMP links are corrupt; You probably need to rebuild the library. Corruption occurs when files are moved or changed in the library of the Explorer... tasks of this nature must be always performed in the library WMP or the location of the file.

  In a first step, go to 'Tools' - 'Advanced' (if you do not see 'tools' of the bar menu isn't showing, then go to "Organize" - "Layout" and select "Show Menu bar")-then click on "restore Library. WMP will then rebuild the library.

  Let us know if it improves things... R >
