    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/download/Windows-Media-Player-details.aspx

    Is it true!

    "Windows Media Player is not compatible with your system.

    You are under Windows 7 64-bit. Although Windows Media Player does not work on your system, you can download Windows Media Player

    What is the alternative, please?

    Hello

    Windows Media Player (WMP) is included in all editions of Windows 7, except in its Windows 7 N/KN editions. If you have an edition of Windows 7 N/KN please see here:

    What is a Windows 7 N edition?

    for the background and how to get WMP.

    If you do not have an edition of Windows 7 N/KN then check that the Windows Media Player feature is turned on:

    1. click on Start (lower-left) and then on Control Panel.

    2. click on programs and features.

    3. on the left side of the screen, click on 'Windows turn features on or off".

    4. look for the entry called multimedia features, expand it, and then check the box * next to Windows Media Player.

    6. restart the PC.

    * If the Windows Media Player box is already checked, uncheck it, click OK, restart can do steps 1-6 above.

    There is no download WMP for editions of Windows 7 that are not editions N/KN (because it is built in).

  • Cannot use the feature set in windows media player for Onkyo TX - NR609 Receiver Media

    Original title: Onkyo TX - NR609 Receiver Media

    Hi all

    I have the Onkyo TX-NR609 and it works great except for streaming music from windows media player. When I click on the 'play to' it will show the name of the amplifier and model number which I click on and then it opens the player where it will then tell me that "an error has occurred on the device" and then she'll tell me under the song that tries to open that "the device cannot be controlled."

    I have no idea what could be the cause and that it is a little frustrating is an understatement, onkyo iphone app works fine and I am able to listen to different radio stations as well as I have access to my windows media player via dlna library but it is a bit tedious so I don't tend to use it as well.

    Anyone had similar problems? If so I would appreciate any help you could offer, I was hoping it would be more directly towards the front and then it and exchanging the receiver for one with apple airplay but it brings another problem of having to transfer music between laptop-itunes-iphone/ipad then invert to remove the music and then do the same bloody back and forth. Apple had to do complicated things don't have.

    I am using windows 7 32 bit

    Hello

    Please contact your manufacturer to check if there are any parameters must be defined for Windows Media Player recognize the device control settings.

  • Cannot use the feature set in windows media player for Onkyo TX - NR509 Receiver Media

    I have the Onkyo TX-NR509 and everything works fine except for streaming music from windows media player. (I can sink my iPhone to the receiver box and can even navigate to my music box cylinder head and all the Games very well).

    When I click with the right button on a song and select "play to" and then select the amplifier box "play to" appears and after a while an error message appears "cannot retrieve information about the UPnP Server media."

    My laptop is a HP Pavilion dv7 (Windows7 64-bit)

    I made a few simple troubleshooting;

    1. under Network TX-NR509 shows as a support device and I installed the drivers.

    2. I checked the options of streaming media and my receiver is set to "allowed".

    3. in WMP, I did of course "allow the remote control of my player" and "automatically allow devices to read my media" are both checked

    4 reboot the router & mobile.

    I have no idea what could be the cause and to say it's frustrating is an understatement.

    I'd appreciate any help you could offer.

    I tried to play a dvd with windows media player on vista family premium, I get the message that I need to upgrade the player I have is the version 6.4, but I can't find any update for vista because they all seem to be for XP or earlier. Where can I find a drive to upgrade. Thank you very much.

    Hello Pacone

    According to Walter, Microsoft Windows Vista comes with Media Player 11. So please could you clarify the application you are using? The version you gave I guess maybe it is Windows Movie Maker.

    I get the following message: Windows Media Player cannot play back the video DVD. You may need to adjust your Windows display settings. Open display settings in Control Panel, and then try to lower your screen resolution and color quality settings.   I did, but nothing seems to fix the problem.  Any suggestions?

    Hi Austin 123.

    1 when was the last time it was working fine?

    2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    3. you are unable to play videos on the DVD? What is the file format of the videos?

    4. are you able to read audio files using Windows media player?

    (a) open settings display by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, appearance and personalization, customization, and then clicking display settings.

    (b) click on Advanced settings, click the Troubleshooting tab, and then click change settings.

    (c) note that some video card drivers do not allow allows you to change the settings.

    (d) move the hardware acceleration slider to zero to reduce or turn off video hardware acceleration.
