• Try to remove deleted files from the Media Player library

  There are video files in my Windows Media Player library that I deleted, but items still appear in my video library.  When I right click on the file and choose 'Remove', nothing happens.  The video files were originally in the folder my music and I deleted them using the Explorer.  However, they still appear in the Media Player library (even if they are not functional - because I have deleted!).  I followed what Umesh suggested GregRN, but that doesn't seem to work for me.  How can I get rid of deleted files appear in the Media Player library?   I use a HP Pavilion dv4 using Windows 7 (64-bit).

• I deleted the files in computer music but they always appear in the media player library.

  original title:

  I deleted the files in computer music but they always appear in the media player library. When I try to remove/delete, nothing happens. run convenience store and he said that my library is corrupt. How can I fix it? I want to just erase all the library song! They do not even play because I already deleted files from computer!

  Hello

  1st solution of Tim De Baets:

  "You probably need to reset the library to get rid of the files in the library. Note firstly reset the library will make you lose all play counts and ratings too. Then, follow these steps:

  -Restart the PC.
  -Click Start, type services.msc in the search field and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service . If its status is started , double-click the service, and then click stop .
  -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
  -In this folder, rename the folder Media Player as Old Media Player . If you do not see the folder, then it is probably hidden. Set Explorer to view the hidden files and folders and show protected system files.
  -Launch WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt. »

• M4a and M4P files don't show in the Media Player library

  Original title: display music files m4p in medial Microsoft Reader library

  My Itunes Music Library contains 1400 songs, my Media Player library shows only 20% of people.  Seems that m4p and m4a files do not show in the Media Player library.

  WMP 11 is not supported with built-in support for M4P and M4A (MPEG-4 audio) files. For the support of library and the tag for the latter, you need to install the plug-in in WMP Tag Plus .

  Note that M4P files are protected against copying, if WMP will probably not be able to read them.

• Media Player: I can't find a way to create a burn list, because the music does not appear in the media player library

  Hi all

  I loaded music from a USB key for the 'my music' folder in the document library, even though I can play music through media player, I can't find a way to create a burn list, because the music does not appear in the media player library - can you please help?

  Thank you

  Yvonne

  No need to copy and paste.  Simply add the folder that contains the music files to the library in this same dialog box.

• Adding MKV files to Windows Media Player library

  How can I add MKV files in the 'Vidéo' section rather than in the section 'Other' library?

  Copy / paste the following text in Notepad, save it as WMP_MKV.reg , double-click this file to add it to the registry and restart WMP:

  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
   
  [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mkv]
  "PerceivedType"="video".
   
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Multimedia\WMPlayer\Extensions\.mkv]
  "PerceivedType"="video".
  'Permissions' = dword:0000000f
  "Runtime" = dword:00000007
   
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\MLS\Extensions]
  "mkv"="video".

  After that, MKV files will be added to the video instead to other media (it may be necessary to add new files).

• Cannot delete files from Windows Media Player library.

  Original title: deleting files problem

  I deleted a large number of music of my WMP library & computer files, but they are still listed in WMP. I can't play any of them as they were deleted, and I get a message telling me so when I try! Why are they still displayed in the list and how do I get rid of them? I tried to restart, changing the target folder, etc., without change. I even tried to remove all of the library (but not the computer this time) and they do not always go!

  Hi Jamie,

  Welcome to Microsoft Community where you can find all the answers related to Windows.

  According to the description provided, looks like you are not able to completely remove the files in Windows Media Player.

  I have a couple of steps that should help you to solve this problem.

  You can try to clear the database of Windows Media Player and check if it clears the titles and generic icons.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  Method 1:

  1. exit Windows Media Player.

  2. click on Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player in the start search box and enter.

  3. Select all the files in the folder, and then click 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.

  Method 2:

  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. click on Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the start search box and enter.

  3 select the folder Media Player, and then click delete on the file menu.

  4. restart Windows Media Player.

  Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  Keep us informed on the status of the issue. If you face problems more when working with Windows post on Microsoft Community.

• Cannot add files/folders to the Media Player library

  Hello.  New user of Windows Media Player (WMP) here.  Using Vista business so I think I have Media Player 11.

  I have MP3 (converted M4a format) files on an external hard drive.  WMP will play them very well, but I can't seem to add them to the "library".  I tried to manually add the folder to the external hard drive, these files are in the folders that WMP scans to add items.  When I press 'OK', WMP seems analysis this folder added (it shows some 3 000 scanned files), but it only shows nothing added to the library.

  I cannot rip from CD for this external hard drive and WMP looks ID, create folders and copy the songs to the disc hard drive very well (AND add them to the library very well).  But I can not "RIP" these MP3 files anywhere... "RIPPING" seems to be only for the files on CD and the computer.

  I must be missing something simple!  Is it possible to add these existing MP3 files to my library?

  Thank you!

  Your library has probably been corrupted, so it needs to be reset, by following the instructions for WMP 11 Vista at http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#medialibrary . Note the reset of the library will make you lose all the counts to play and possibly ratings too.

  After the reset of the library, add the folder music on the external hard drive to the list of WMP watched folders.

• Failed to add audio files to the menu

  I followed all the normal steps. I dragged the audio file in the menu window, nothing will do. I dragged the link in the window of query to audio files in the project window and it does not appear in the audio area temporarily. But as soon as I select the new menu item, he says: audio: No.

  Help! It's ridiculous! Thank you!!

  It is the wma... But I finally solved the problem in the re-linking to the original file. God only knows why she had to be re-related, because he played very well in the preview area. But once re-related, the ability to drag and drop it in the menu has been restored.

  Thank you
