Error "server is busy" Windows Media Player 12 (WMP 12)

Dear friends @ MS,

I use WMP 12 on Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 (full specs below)

I noticed that when it seeks to "Apply media information changes" a status window are displayed with a bar that does nothing.

I left it for an hour and when I came back, that's what I saw the link below (pic). "The server is busy."

Either by the way, I ran troubleshooting for Player settings reset both, no change either.

I know this isn't a single occurrence since I've had this problem before. Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you, in advance.

In the WMP library, you click on organize and select manage libraries - music. What places are? Is there any location not available or who do not meet? Same question for other libraries (videos, pictures, and Recorded TV).

  • An internal error has occurred in Windows Media Player

    I write on behalf of a client who has a few problems with Windows Media Player in Windows XP.

    She said that she receives the error message "an internal application error has occurred" all the time. He will not play CD and does not even start.

    She wonders if she needs to unintall/reinstall. However, she received another message saying something like its other programs may not work correctly.

    Just to confirm yet for her, she would not lose all other programs in the cases where she unisntalls Windows Media Player, right?

    Hello

    1. what changes have been made to your computer before the problem?
    2. the problem occurs on a particular file?
    3. What is the format of the file you want to play in Windows Media Player?

    You may encounter this error message for the following reasons:

    (a) the file type is supported by the drive, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the player.

    (b) the file might have been encoded with a codec that is not supported by Windows Media Player. If this is the case, Windows Media Player cannot play the file.

    Windows media player will play only the files and videos only if it supports this type of file.

    Please see the bottom of the article that gives you information on the types of media files that supports Windows Media Player.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992

    If the files are not supported by Windows media player, then you will need to use a few players from third party that supports this file format.

  • Windows Media Player 12 (WMP 12) are not saving the data in the library

    Hi all, been having a few problems with WMP 12, because I reinstalled Win7 enterprise following an upgrade of the processor (from AMD to Intel, had to reinstall).  Since that I had two problems, both probably originate in the same root.  Everytime I open WMP I see "There is no data in your library", until it scans the hard drive for files.  It's true that if I let this scan for 30 minutes, then turn off and on.  He simply has no information, period.  Secondly, when it filled with information, it mentions two copies of each song.

    My personal theory is that it could be caused by an old cache of WMP log are stored somewhere on the PC.  Perhaps WINDOWS.old?  Please keep in mind it was a reinstall of W7 W7 E E again.  Theories, ideas or legal remedies will be appreciated.  The problem seems localized to WMP, my libraries (pictures, videos, etc.) and everything seems to be intact however.

    I tried to change the location of the file, only to have WMP search folders for some and a few other things (disabling, allowing streaming media, for example) are stored within my installation of W7 HD and another HD in the same machine.

    Hi SRedX,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.

    Try to manually add files to Windows media player and see if the problem still occurs.

    Method 1:

    This problem may be due to database corruption.  You can delete the Windows Media Player database and check if the problem persists.
     
    Steps to clear the database of windows media player:
     
    1. exit Windows Media Player.
    2. click on start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.
    3. Select all the files in the folder and then click on 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.
     
    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. If you are using Windows XP, click Start, click Run, type %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft and then click OK.
     
    If you are running Windows Vista, click Start, click Run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft and then click OK.
     
    3. Select the Media Player folder, and then click on Delete on the file menu.
    4. restart Windows Media Player.
     
    Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  • I can't sync my iPod to Windows Media Player. WMP does not recognize the iPod and I can't drag music files between them

    My iPod is connected to the computer and it works fine with iTunes.  But I can't get the music in Windows Media Player to iPod.  When I try to sync in Windows Media Player, it does not recognize the iPod, and I can drag files from WMP to iTunes or the iPod.

    You cannot synchronize an Apple product in itself using WMP, unless you buy a 3rd party. You must use iTunes.

    A few quick to test things:

    Test your memory with a memory tester. Something like http://www.memtest.org/ perhaps, or an equivalent.

    Update your graphics card and sound card drivers to the latest W7 drivers available at HP for your PC.

    As test, download and install (free) VLC. Can do this reading of videos? In a first time, as this is just a test, do not let 'take over' as a default player until / unless you're happy with it. Just manually open a video with her.

    If you look in what is your WEI score and the base system in detail, i.e. amount of version W7 ram, CPU, and what is your GPU card?

  • Error: C00D11EF while using Windows Media Player to synchronize the iPod

    Original title: Installed a new drive, iPod syncs not; using MGTEK for conversion.

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    MGTEK is a convenient way to sync iPod/touch etc by using WMP. Its a plug-in. She avoids you having to use iTunes...!

    Just UN-installing it, re-boot, then re - install it should work. Otherwise, you will need to manually reset/clear your library in WMP.

    You can safetly remove temporary files.

    See you soon,.
