help with media player won't work something on protocools

I've always been able to listen to my scanner from the local police on windows media player, and then suddenly it stopped working and gives me this message: Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the specified protocol is not supported. If you typed a URL in the open URL dialog box, try using a different transport protocol (for example, "http:" or "rtsp:").

I tried to do what he tells me and from what I can tell it's already done, so I don't know what to do. Thanks for your help

Hi flowocitychick83,

Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the specified protocol is not supported by the player or not supported by the server.

Things to try:

·         If you encountered this error by clicking a link on a Web page, make sure that the link is valid.

·         If you encountered this error by typing a uniform locator resource (URL) in the Open URL dialog box, try opening the file using a different transport protocol (for example, "http:" or "rtsp:").

If Windows Media Player supports the Protocol and you can't read the content, check that the drive is configured to use all of its supported protocols.

Step 1: Configure the protocol settings

1.

In Windows Media Player, on the Tools menu, click Options.

2.

In the Options dialog box, on the tab network , in the Streaming protocols area, select all the checkboxes (Multicast, UDP, TCP, and HTTP) Protocol, so that a check mark appears in each.

If the fixes above don't work, you can rename the folder of information network for the drive so that it can rebuild its information network files after restarting it.

Step 2: Rename the folder to network Player information

1.

Close Windows Media Player. (To do this, on the file menu, click exit).

2.

Click Startand then click run.

3.

In the run dialog box, type the following (exactly as shown):

%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Media

This step opens the following folder on your computer:

SystemDrive: \Documents andNom_profil_utilisateurSettings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Media Settings\

4.

In this folder, rename the 11.0 in 11.0.bakfolder.

5.

Start the player and try to distribute the content again.

  • Need help with Media Player (latest version)

    Well, I tore my first two CDs in Windows Media Player (11) and which went well. I have synced them (because I can't figure out how to do drag and drop) and which went well. So I started to rip CDs more and got as much as 4 when a message came and I deleted inadvertently. Then, it would show that I'm ripping, but have no songs OR album titles. I went to the media player but cannot find how to fix this problem. I'd appreciate any help to make it back to where it is rip CDs and indicating the name of the album and song names. Judy (who has been blocked by snow and not liking it)

    Are you connected to the net by tearing? The network connection is needed to get the tag data.

    Again click Extract, click on more options, then the library and retrieve additional information on the net are checked, and then click OK. I think it's the parameter that tells it to get the data from the tag on the net? It is easy to copy files to the drive with Windows Explorer. Open Windows Explorer(right click on start, then click on explore). Find your music under my documents, my music file (or something similar). Find the folder with the music inside album. Right-click on it and choose copy. Then find the folder music of the rocket in Windows Explorer. Right-click on it and choose Paste.

    Click the extract and make sure that the format is set to mp3 format. Click it again and make sure that the flow is set to 192 or 256.

  • Windows Media Player closes whenever I open it with the message "Windows Media Player has stopped working"

    Hello

    I have a XC of Aspire Acer-605, i5 with Windows 8 (bought 4 weeks ago)

    When I open Windows Media Player 12, if I play music or not, in less than a minute, a box appears that says:

    "Windows Media Player has stopped working: a problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly." Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

    The only option then is to click on "close the program".

    When I try to listen to music on CyberLink Power Media Player 12. I have the pop box saying:

    "Play.exe stopped working: Please send us this report to help us solve the problem and improve this software."

    The option only two then are "CANCEL" or to type my email and the problem then click on 'send report '. I did the second and nothing heard back.

    XBOX media player works, but I don't want to use it.

    I already scanned with McFee virus and it found nothing. I recently remove a virus from my computer. The problems may have started after that.

    Can you help me to solve my problem?

    After days and days of the trial, an online chat with a technician Microsoft (which was useless) I finally found a suggestion that worked... I had to create a new user account with administrative privileges. Media worked perfectly in this new account! I then spent ages downloading the files from my old account before deleting completely. It took a long time and has been a real pain, but at least it works now :-). Good luck to all. I hope this works for you xx

  • After the upgrade to Firefox 4.0, I returned to Firefox 3.6 because plug-ins, such as Media Player, would not work just with 4.0. They now work with 4.0.1?

    After the upgrade to Firefox 4.0, I returned to Firefox 3.6 because plug-ins, such as Media Player, would not work just with 4.0. They now work with 4.0.1?

    I used WMP plugin with Firefox 4 since its release.

    The problem is probably because she couldn't find the WMP plugin. One way around this problem is to install the HTML5 Extension for Windows Media Player Firefox plugin available from http://www.interoperabilitybridges.com/html5-extension-for-wmp-plugin

    This add-on will do 2 things, it will install the WMP plugin in a place that can find Firefox 4, it will also add an extension to add additional functionality for use by Windows Media Player. This extension has been reported as causing memory leaks, so I recommend that once you install the HTML5 Extension for Windows Media Player Firefox plugin, you must restart Firefox then uninstall the extension. The extension uninstaller will not remove the plugin, Firefox 4 will still be able to use it.

  • Windows Media Player does not work on Windows XP.

    I was still having problems with my windows live messenger I did a clean through my computer of viruses and and anything that may be damaged and then I let a friend 'fix' that believe him when he said he could. Windows Media Player worked well before he touched and now it will not respond the same way. I also use Firefox as my main browser, only then if someone else who uses the engine might be able to help or whatever at all for this player. He worked 5 hours trying to get it working right again, but eventually gave up. It also seems that all sites that I thought could help ended up being for vista or windows 7-8. windows media player doesn't work I have to do a lot of, click on this and that and then play. I want to just back to normal. thx for the advice

    Original title: How can I fix windows Media Player so it will automatically play CDs or DVDsit stopped after I cleaned my computer.

    Thanks for all these possible methods of fixing. We did in those 5 hours trying to make it work related things. my friend had installed all sorts of uprising "Tune Up programs (which I told him not to do so), but after he did this." It is when I have a few things that worked before orders also. as well, it didn't speed up my computer nor in any case. then after I uninstalled all his *, ran all cleaners and antivirus programs, cleaned the Vincent of cookies that have been in my wall of cookie and don't have a boot scan system. and then passed through a finger and put a cd in and I heard run and a list of options appeared with the selections as game cd on Media player so I high informed that clicks on the box on the bottom, saying always remember this clicked on ok. and easie peasie it worked. I remember now that the way back in 09 when I got this computer, this option is given then to so I do not know that are a little devil programs Sotah but thank the Lord that I found myself in the end fixing. Unfortunately, it was after I went to the community for help when I decided to give him another chance to just put a cd and see if I had to go through files and click on the media player, and then click in the list of play but I had that pain in the butt. I don't know if faith had anywthing to do with my luck but I prayed for help earlier and well I got it! Thank you for your time giving these great options of measures to take. may blessing come your way Lori

    Hey bellais

    Run the sfc/scannow command.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

    Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms,Accessories, right-clickguest, and then clickrun as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.
    2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
      sfc/scannow

      The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions

    If that does not fix it repost in the Sub forum

    Manage your photos and videos: play, burn, import and more with Windows Media Center, Media Player, or other programs.
