  Windows Media Player 12 library issues

  The library settings of WMP on my Win7 x 86 Ult PC appear to have corrupted after clicking on a BSOD just as I recorded a new network folder in music library settings. It was very well until now, but after the restart, will organize > manage libraries > music does not return a screen. Other libraries, such as the image will be open a screen and can be kept, but it seems that the media in these cases does not actually view.

  Restore the system to a point before the BSOD did not fix the issue.

  Running MS FixIt for Windows Media Player has not fixed the problem.

  Running sfc/scannow does not detect any problems.

  Deletion of the library and the settings deleting the folder AppData/Microsoft/Media Player did not help.

  The only possible solution I am aware of what I have not tried is to uninstall/reinstall WMP via Add or remove features - I'm reluctant to do for the simple reason that this step seems also to uninstall Windows Media Center, I receive countless hours over the past four years, get the installer of my _extremely_ preferences - and there are also of the OEM changes (its a VAIO Sony's older) as art of support and background disc changer that I would struggle to restore.

  Have to reinstall Media Center from scratch would be a disaster even greater that losing the music library, which is a fairly large disaster already.

  Someone knows some way to correct this problem _without_ lose all my settings in Media Center?

  PROBLEM SOLVED

  I noticed another possible solution in another thread and it worked - in Explorer to delete the folder music 'Libraries' section, click on the section heading 'Libraries' and select 'Restore default libraries' in the menu.

  I then could open WMP and add my network via the feature folder successfully organize.

• Software BlackBerry BlackBerry Link cannot display Windows Media Player library

  Hello

  BlackBerry link shows me an empty m usic library even if I have thousands of tracks in my Windows Media Player library. There was a time, it worked, but since a month Blackberry link displays a message: "there is no track in your Windows Media Player library. I reinstalled the software a bunch of times and have always chosen the Windows Media Player - not have iTunes installed. All other functions operate.

  Anyone an idea what to do?

  Thank you very much!

  Kilian

  Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 (64-bit)

  BlackBerry link 1.2.3.48 (32 bit)

  BlackBerry OS 10.2.1

  Windows Media Player 12.0 (32 bit)

  Solved it myself:

  I deleted the Windows Media Player library database (= all files in the C:\Users\NAMEOFTHEUSER\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media drive) - therefor I had to close all programs (all programs BB, the wmplayer and wmplayer network service). After the removal of the database, Windows Media Player has revamped its database and link BB finds the database.

  Best regards

• Windows Media Player - corrupted library

  Separated from this thread.

  EIS,

  I am running Windows 7, 64-bit home etsur and have Windows Media Player V12.

  I have two big problems with WMP, the first is a library corrupt - I can not add properly

  files to the library.  The other problem is that WMP will not successfully "apply media

  Change information after I used the "Update Album Info" feature for albums that have been properly added. It evokes the

  bar of progression, says it is 100% complete, but there has been no change in the Explorer of W...
   
  As part of an attempt to solve the first problem I tried everything that follows, (not in this)

  ranking).

  Convenience store of the Player library run Media 1.).

  2.) run Media player troubleshooting utility parameters.
  3.) and then, if necessary, run [alt - t], advanced tool, restoration of the library
  4.) remove the WMP to force a complete rebuild - close WMP library database in the start menu

  engine search box type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player in Windows explorer which

  seems to remove all files (but not the subfolders). See if that solved the problem.
  5.A) Unload WMP - Panel, programs and features, [left] activate Windows features

  on or off, multimedia, clear features checkbox Windows Media Player, Yes, OK, restart the PC.
  5b.) Reload WMP - control panel programs and features, [left] activate Windows features

  On or off, characteristics of media, select the Windows Media Player box, Yes, OK, restart the PC.

  After 2). I thought that the first problem was resolved that 120 new albums ("unknown") have been

  successfully added, but I noticed that there are a few folders that were not added and

  cannot be added manually. Verification of the files that are included with the library management is not helping either. And the second problem persists.

  If you can offer any new help, I would appreciate it.

  Hi Steve, this is certainly the WAV format that's your problem. WAV is generally very bad marking support: WMP only WAV files tags once wrote during extraction, and they is not editable later. For more information, see

  http://thewelltemperedcomputer.com/SW/WMP/wav.htm

  There is no need to re - tear the relevant albums that you can only convert WAV files to another format using a tool like dBpoweramp. Recommended formats are MP3 or WMA Lossless if you do not want quality loss.

  Windows media player is not adequately at a standstill and must be reienstalled.

  Then wonder if I want to install the player from the microsoft Web site. When I check the Yes box, I go to the site and he informs me that the version that I already paid for only a few months ago on my computer because my computer is relativley new, cannot be downloaded.

  There are no other options to fix the problem that caused Microsoft with the update. I tried to do a restore but it then cause a problem which made the player doesn't do not not the CD to record the right as he said that I had to get the new drivers that microsft does not automatically download drivers when they remove them in this process. But again, no tell me what I need drivers. I tried to switch on my computer systems and to find them this way, but it says I have already that I need on my computer?

• I deleted a single file from my Windows Media Player 11 library and now I want it in my library - how should I do this?

  Am running Windows XP and removed a single file of the library only (and not from the library and my computer) and can see the file in the folder, it can play in Windows Media Player by clicking on it in the folder, but can't find a way to 'restore' the file so I can see it again in my WMP library.  Any way to do this without rebuilding the entire library?

  Hi JohnEvergreen,

  Follow these steps:

  (a) open Windows Media Player (WMP).

  (b) access to the "library". Click the menu "file" at the top of WMP. Select "Add to library" and wait for the dialog box labeled in order to pop open.

  (c) restore files. Click on the 'Advanced Options' button in the dialog 'Add to library'. In the column "watched folders" make sure that the folder that contains your original music is selected, which is indicated in the column "Type" as "Rip folder. Look under the section "watched folders" and ensure that a tick is filled to "Add files previously deleted from the library." Click on the 'OK' button and wait for the dialog box "Add to library by searching computer" to open it.

  (d) in the look in dialog box "Add to library by searching computer" at the 'progress' bar, indicated by a green line moving from left to right; also, below, monitor the "found files" and "added files" account.

• Windows Media Player music library maintains itself duplication

  My library of music guard preparation itself and I cannot understand why. I went through it and deleted duplicates twice now and a few days ago, they were back.  If I go in my libraries in the menu start none of my music splits just to the music to Windows Media Player list.

  If you have transferred once the song of Media Player. Do not open files in Explorer again. If you do, it will transfer the songs an extra time. So if you want to listen to your music, start by opening the media player and songs by finding th eosngs it.

  It can be useful :)

• If I remove windows media player windows Media Center always works

  I never use windows media player but I use XP Media Center Edition 2005 to record TV programs, I have watch on a different media player.

  Can I remove Media PLayer without harming the Media Center?

  Thank you very much James

  You can't really uninstall Media Player from all current versions of Windows, it is a central element.  It is best to not not muck on that.  Also notes that some readers of third part depend on Media Player components working properly, ask only trouble if you muck on this.

• Windows media player icon library

  Hello community, I am a true beginner so please bare with me. When I play my own videos recorded on Window Media Player, there is a 3 library icon that is square at the top right of the image what opening on you allows in other files such as images etc.

  When I send this video by email as an attachment and open it in my mail SENT to my computer to check if everything was OK, the library icon is still there on the video to access my computer as before.

  (1) can I assume that this icon is only show on my video sent that I use the same computer, he sent.

  (2) can I assume that the person who receives the video accessory on e-mail can not see the icon and therefore does not have access to my files on the computer.

  The library icon shows that if you go to the bottom of the video to indicate the break game etc, the library icon above as shown right.

  I do not share my computer with others.

  See you soon

  Hello

  This icon toggle you between the current playback mode (i.e. When you actually watch the video) and the mode of the library (where you make playlists and put things, etc.). That's all it is - its got nothing to do with which had permission to post this video file on other computers.

  When you send the video file to someone by e-mail all that they get is the video file. This file can get opened by Windows Media Player or any other appropriate video player application. If the recipient uses Windows Media Player this icon will behave as it does for you - they can switch between the two modes (but on their computer). Basically, after emailing the video file, it will be then also exists on the hard drive of their computer and they will play them hard drive.

  The video file attachment of e-mail in your sent folder exists on your hard drive, not the recipients.

  A 'regular' video file, sent by electronic mail does not allow the recipient to access files on your computer, at least that separately configure you access for them in some way.

  PS Please be careful opening email attachments (even from people you know) because they can be a source of pollution.

• How to remove windows media player does not exist unknown album

  Recently, after a new cd and my downloads directory staff moving in my personal music directory, Windows Media Player shows a nonexistent unknown album, that I can't remove.  How can I get rid of him?  There is no actual data or location.  I tried to remove all records of use of WMP, but the unknown album no-while is still there.  I have even uninstalled/reinstalled WMP from Windows 7 functionality, but the unknown album no-while is still there.  In addition, it causes WMP to constantly try to identify, using a lot of my bandwidth of internet connection.  Is this a Bug in WMP?  Or would it be a new computer virus (for me)?

  Jerry,

  Please, this brand as Ansered!
