Favorites of WMP
what decision does what is a favorite?
I have a bunch of mp3s. Random seems to play the same over and over again.
Hello
First - Sorry to answer your question with a question (I seem to do a little of that right now!)
but which platform do you use for random playback - WMP itself or the Windows Media Center?
I used to run "random" on WMC and found that it would tend to play things several times and then (probably) decide repeatedly repeated songs were "Favorites" and play them more often! There is probably a technical solution for this, but personally, I gave up using wmc and tried a different approach.
I would like to know what your favorite player, and I'll give you some suggestions on this basis.
Greetings - R

How to make subtitles for a video file appear in Windows Media Player?
I recently got a video file to a DVD, ending with a .mkv file type. The audio is in a language other than English, but there are English subtitles available. If I play the file in Windows Media Center or Windows Movie Maker, and then present subtitles, but in Windows Media Player, subtitles are not. I activated the option of subtitles (play > lyrics, captions and subtitles > on) but still no results. I use software different media if necessary, but my favorite is WMP and prefer to use it. Thanks in advance!

Is it possible to change the link to the WMP to Play/Pause/Stop buttons
Is it possible to change the link to the WMP to play/Pause and the Stop button?
Because network alone and media buttons can be changed by the software.
And I'd rather not WMP for my favorite media player.Unfortunately, the buttons are configured with WMP (if the CD is inserted) and WinDVD (if the DVD is inserted).
I guess that you can not use buttons with 3rd party applications. -
I got my bookmark favorite radio station and could listen to live while working on my laptop. For some reason, after updates of Firefox, the live listening to the bookmark component no longer works and I can't hear anything. I tried typing the address manually instead of going through the bookmarks, but that does not work either. I can access the website of the radio station, but when I click on the button 'listen' live it seems to load and does not 'buffer' or present the play/pause buttons. Can't hear anything either. If I use Explorer instead, everything works fine.
Try installing the new WMP plugin.

Microsoft windows media player does not retain the previous size. is irrtating so me gift of reorganize its size every time when I open it.plz help I want stable wmp version 11, version 12 is sucks.
Hello, Simone
I'll assume you're on Windows 7. Windows Media Player 12 is not supported on Windows Vista or XP and as such, you will need to go back to Windows Media Player 11.
You can check the permissions in the registry to ensure that it is able to record information.
Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.
Open the registry editor by clicking on start, type regedit.exe in the search box and press on enter, you may be prompted to continue.
In the registry editor, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Microsoft, MediaPlayer, then Preferences.
It should be an element named LastLocation_26, right-click on it and select Rename, and rename it to old LastLocation_26.
Leave the open registry editor and open Media Player, then move it to your favorite place and close Media Player.
In the registry editor, press F5 on your keyboard and check if LastLocation_26 has been recreated.
If this is not the case, there is probably a permissions problem.
If so, the location must be registered.

WMP gets script errors by using some of the dialog boxes in "find album info".
I sailed on the "fix it" MS and found one of the correction as tools that seemed appropriate, this one:
http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_media_player_diagnostic/I ran and it said that jscript and vbscript for registration was corrupted,
and he advised me to reset the WMP library.I allowed him to fix these items, rebooted the PC and before anything else.
Re-entered the site and ran the same fix - it new tool.Guess what? He finds the same two errors and offered to fix them again.
These tools do not work for WMP 11 XP SP3?
Thanks for any info.
The error real jscript in WMP 11 was fixed by deleting cache, cookies and favorite Web sites
data saved in IE8. Once this is done, WMP was very good.Perhaps the "fix - it" tool should be updated in order to study this possibility.

WMP has a VERY small video image that will NOT grow everything.
A few months ago my WMP was not and is still not functioning. I deleted all versions of WMP, until I had the original that came with my computer (WMP5 or 6, not sure). I reloaded my operating system twice. I deleted, reinstalled, downloaded the latest and best several times. I still can't WMP to play a video properly. Even when I set the video size to "Fit screen" or "200%" video is still about 1/10 the size of the screen. To 100% normal size is about 1/20 the size of the screen. The video image WILL NOT grow anything.
What should I do to get this corrected?Hi shanevj,
You can try to download the file and save it to a location, and then try to play the video.
Step 1:
You can try to play the video in full screen and check.
a. open Windows media player, and then click view
b. Select full screen and check.
Also read the following article:
Windows Media Player10 refuses to enter full screen mode

Step 2:
You can also download the latest codecs for the media player in Windows XP
You can use your favorite search engine to download and install the third-party codecs for windows media player.

Strange - on Vista a few videos I have on my website are distorted, the video shows a framework and a remanins constant unless I hit between and during this time, the sound is OK.

No sound with video WMP?
I read that I might miss "codeo" but don't know how to find and install the ones I need.
Video clips from my JVC camera play on another computer with vista WMP, so I am sure that it is not the clips, but something on this computer.
Hi dolphindefender,

You can download and install the latest codec for Windows Media Player from this link.
With the help of codecs

Second, you can also use your favorite search engine to download and install the latest codec for Windows Movie Maker that should solve the problem.

Duplicate the 'Favorites' and 'Music' folders that appear.
In my file user a few months ago I noticed that I had two folders called 'Favorites '. I deleted one of them only a few times to make it reappear later. Today, I noticed another problem of dupe. I have now two "Favorites" and two records 'music '. Does anyone have an idea of what is causing this and a resolution possible?
Example: http://www.thecaldwellfamily.net/rjc/images/Clipboard-1.gif
With the favorite dupe files one is empty and one actually contains the Favorites of IE. For music files, it is empty and contains in fact all of the music stored on my PC. One that is empty display a normal folder icon while one that contains music shows the blue note CD icon. (as shown in the image link) I tried to remove two empty folders but when I reboot him reappear. I've been using MS Security Essentials and keep up-to-date and analysis since it was released.
I think I can have it fixed for now however. It seems that some combinations of iTunes and TuneBite creates a bunch of 'ghost' (i.e. folders hidden / system) and some were 'linked' to Favorites and music files. When another application would attempt to access these folders (for example WMP or IE) apps could not find records and create duplicates. I did some digging in the properties of the records and found the "Restore Default" button in the location tab. When you click on that I noticed that the place has changed the name of folder long ghost the correct path of "C:\Users\
\Music" and "C:\Users\ \Favorites. Everything seems to be fine now, but if I have additional problems, I will use your suggestions to create a new user and copy only the data through. I'm just trying to not have to re - import my mail again. I am a digital packrat and have mail dating back to 1995 it takes awhile. :)

How to bookmark streams internet radio in WMP 12, Windows 7?
I love the new WMP 12 in Windows 7 (and 7 is also very good) and I'm happy that she now easily play all the normal video/audio formats (xvid, divx, etc.). Although I prefer to use WMP exclusively for my all my needs audio-video :) and so reduce the number of programs that I installed, I have a problem. How can I search internet radio through the main window of favorite and oenological practices then favorite streams (easily)? IE is there a nonprofit library with URLS of radio feature? (vs typing address each time).
Hi Erin B,.
Welcome to the Microsoft answers site!
We had the ability to record Radio stations in Windows Media Player 11 as a complement to the Stations, this feature seems to be deleted in
Windows Media Player 12. However the songs listened to once is automatically saved into the playlist and you can still listen to their of the saved
reading list.

WMP is NOT recognize m4a music
I just did a clean install of Windows 7. Trying to play Apple Lossless m4a. WMP has NOT played out of the box, if AAFC did.
Finally got ALAC plays by adding in a filter Quicktime/WMP flea market. But now all my w4a files appear in other media ' "WMP... not under 'music '. So part of my music (mp3) are in the folder music, with all the correct information and album art tags and the majority of my music (m4a) are in the "other media" could not be added to playlists. WMP recognizes tags, it doesn't show them as in 'Music '.
I found what I was hoping would be a work around. When a m4a is renamed to be a Mp4, it appears correctly (that is, under the 'music'). However, WMP will NOT play a file with extension mp4. SO I know the m4a will appear in 'Music' with a change of extension, the tags will show all the way to the top (including album art), should be, he won't play. Change back to m4a, he plays very well, but it gets moved to the wrong place ('other media') and all music Formatting disappears.
How can I get WMP to add m4a to the area of music rather than other media? Or how do I add a media type to WMP so he treats a m4a a mp3 or mp4?
Thank you!
Hello
The .m4a extension is not a type of supported Windows Media Player file. However, you can user your favorite search engine to search for a solution that can convert the file in a supported file type Windows Media Player.

Problems playing and extraction of some discs in WMP
I have usually no problem playing and ripping disks on my hard drive using WMP (W7). However, I have problems with some types HDCD discs. An example of this is Neil Young's "Greatest Hits", it will not play WMP poster art, the title of the album etc plus all the track names and rip box is checked, but when I click the icon burn, nothing happens. There are no error messages either. Is there a way to turn it?
Thanks in advance for an answer
Hello
Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.
From the information, you can not play and rip some discs as HDCD by using Windows Media Player 12 (WMP).
Since WMP 9, it is possible to decode and play active HDCD CD.
This problem occurs if the file as HDCD extension is not supported by Windows Media Player 12.
You can use your favorite search engine to look for a software that can convert the file for use in Windows Media Player.
Note: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.
