"Windows Media Player 12 - corrupted library.
original title: the woes of 'Windows Media Player 12.
Good first day and all.
"Windows Media Player 12" (like the one provided with 'Windows 7') - I can't get it to work reliably. No, this, scratching for 'reliable' read 'at all '...We have a library of about 35 000 titles, coded as "Windows Media Audio (Lossless)" (so using the Microsoft CODECs). My sync.s with a Microsoft Office "Windows Mobile 6.1" ' phone ("HTC" "Touch HD" to be precise).Usage only I do 'Windows Media Player' is to synchronize playlists with my ' phone. I tend not to listen to anything to help I have much better way to listen to music through a system of his PC and speakers crammed into an LCD monitor. So "Windows Media Player" is just sitting there in the background.And some days she who will be quite happy without problems. However (average) about 3 - 4 times a week, it will crash just randomly - up comes a dialog box saying «Windows Media Player has stopped working...» » ; or upward will come a message on my workspace is corrupted - "Media Player" will apparently remove and recreate automatically for me the next time it starts.The problem with that is it then everyone loses sync. settings, because it creates a new ID of the library for the new library, so I have to go and re - set my mobile, re-set-up device synchronization settings all the playlists I want to sync, etc etc etc etc and all this only after a wait of several hours for "Windows Media Player" to actually re-created the library first place.Basically, it's the two 'Windows Media Player' himself and tries to synchronize the music with my mobile device actually completely unnecessary and impracticable. I'm not fan of Apple products but with Microsoft software using the Microsoft CODECs and synchronization to a mobile operating system of Microsoft being so completely and totally unnecessary I can quite understand why people just go and buy iPod (or iPhone, or...)-at least Apple understand media, including Microsoft obviously doesn't...So, after only 4 hangs 2 library reconstructions and only today (he is obviously having a particularly bad day today...) I thought that "enough is enough" and sought technical support options.Now, I'm not about to pay stupid amounts to Microsoft to tell them that their software is broken, and for them, finally, to answer "Yes, and? ...". So I thought I would look on the Microsoft support site to see what options are available. Apparently none - despite 'Windows 7' having been out for a while now, all Microsoft support pages only refers to 'Windows Media Player' versions up to version 11. Come on Microsoft, which is pretty poor, is it not? I know only for about 2 years 'Windows 7' RTM (Release To Manufacturing), so maybe it's a little early to wait to talk about "Windows Media Player 12" on your sites... support? (this is sarcasm, in case anyone was wondering...)So I turn on the forums. Does anyone else have a great experience (and I think that ~ 35 000 titles probably called 'wide') libraries with "Windows Media Player 12", and if so have you had any problems? Someone has suggestions for additional diagnostics (for example, try to establish exactly what causes the library should be damaged or for 'Windows Media Player' suddenly to be considered "stopped working")?What's happening on my machine "Windows 7 Professional (x 64)" with 8 GB of RAM and a lot of free space on the disk, so resources should not be a problem. " It also happens on all the various other machines that we have here (all running "Windows 7 Professional"; for most of the "x 64"). It never used to happen with all that the latest version of 'Windows Media Player' was to 'XP' (but who had his "own collection of the bad guys to use"ActiveStink"...) so there shouldn't be anything specific library - it certainly seems to be problems specifically with "Windows Media Player 12".Any suggestions gratefully received...Method 1 fixed an issue, I've had where Media player would not start. If I tried to play an mp3 file I get "Server error". Bad shooting Diagnostics said my configuration was corrupted and my library was corrupt. But it didn't fix it. Uninstall and reinstall using Windows features has not solved my problem. With the FixIt solution, my problem has been resolved.

Disconnected this SD card drive letter in Media Player
Original title: media sharing problem. (Facing the issue with shraing Windows Media player with the Xbox 360.)
I share my media on my computer using Media Player 12 for my Xbox 360, all sharing works fine except several months ago, I plugged an SD card for my computer that had a video on it and since then the letter of the SD card has been affected on my computer, appears on my Xbox 360 when I go to the App videos even if this SD card has been disconnected for months.
I looked through the library in Media Player and there is no link with the drive letter that appears on the Xbox 360.My Xbox 360 sees also a folder on my desktop that also is not in the library, because it has since been moved to another directory, but always show as if it was still on the desk.I think that the problem lies in the media player and not the Xbox 360, maybe it is caching the data somewhere that I am not aware of.I deleted the cache and my Xbox 360 Media Player using the Windows Disk Cleanup tool.Maybe someone knows why this is happening?Hi SAMUS204,
I found this article to support Xbox. He suggested that the file is corrupted. Are you able to right-click on the file and delete it? If you have already tried, what were the results, and if not, try to delete the folder.
You for your response, I have found the question that must have a corrupt Media Player library and was able to remedy by the reconstruction of the whole of the media library.
For anyone who needs to rebuild their library, just open Media Player-> on tools-> Advanced-> Restore library...-> click OK-> Open Media Player new and allow it to find all of your content. -

Windows media Player library said that he corrupted how to fix this?
How can I fix my Media Player as it says I can't play some files as it is corrupt, I'm not very computer im still learning.i tried the troobleshooter but it is not solved the problem.
Hello
1. what operating system do you use?
Method1: I suggest you run the troubleshooter to library and check if that helps.
Open the troubleshooter in the Windows Media Player library
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-Windows-Media-Player-library-Troubleshooter
Method2: It would be possible that the files in the directory that stores Media Player may contain corrupted data. Go to the following directory and delete all the files in the folder. Test if the problem recurs.
%UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media Player
Note: Please save the contents of the directory first.
Method 3: Reinstall Windows Media Player
As a last resort, try to uninstall and reinstall Windows Media Player.
This version fixes most of the problems of corruption of Windows Media Player.
Note that uninstalling Windows Media Player 12 also disables Windows Media Center because WMC uses WMP12 to its operation.

I'm trying to fix Windows Media Player 12 without success.
I tried 'turned on' and 'off' Windows Media Player via "Turn Windows features on or off"-there did not work. It will not fix the problem, and I think I know why.
I ran sfc/scannow from the cmd prompt gives me the following in the CBS.log log error message:
[RS] Could not reproject corrupted file [ml:520 {260}, l:106 {53}] '------? \C:\Program files (x 86) \Windows Media Player\en-US "------[l:26 {13}] 'mpvis.dll.mui '; source file in the store is also corrupted
I just took the 'ownership' of the file and replaced by a different copy on another hard drive that worked. I have the journal and if the information is needed to solve this problem I'll post here apart from the above error message.
Attempt to run Windows Media player only gives me the error message:
"Window Media Player is not installed correctly and must be reinstalled. You want to install the player from the Microsoft website? »
I 'want' install the player on MS website, but they do not offer this possibility because it is nowhere available for download. I have to say I am frustrated by this situation and I would like to know why MS decided to make this hassle to reinstall a program properly.
I guess that's the only option.http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.htmlIf this post answers your question, click mark as answer .

"Windows Media Player library (12) corrupted."
I didn't have a particular problem with WMP 12 (or library). But, every time I run the "Action Center" convenience store (even if only for maintenance, etc...); It is always with ' error, Windows Media Library corrupted '. But it doesn't tell me what to do on it, etc... Advice?
Thank you

I'm the same. I had Media Player running and the convenience store is come with the message my library was damaged, but he seems fine. All my files appear, they all play very well. It seems quite normal, but the resolution of the problems always the library are corrupt. I don't want to leave him alone and if it starts to act weird, I will delete the database and rebuild.

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

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 menuengine 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 featureson 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 featuresOn 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.
