Hide playback menu in Windows Media Player 12 when the video is paused.

Hello

I'm trying to get rid of the playback menu (bar buttons which includes play, Pause, Stop, etc. ) who is always there when I stop a video. I tried to go into the Settings menu to search these preferences, but there is none. Are there tricks to hide the playback menu during a break video?

PC Specs

OS: Microsoft Windows 7 (build 7600) x 64

The WMP Version: Indicated in the title

When you stop, the controls will disappear if you move your mouse out of the window.  Don't forget that the location is set to allow controls to hide:

In WMP, press Alt to display the menu, and then choose Tools > Options.  In the Player tab, make sure that the 2nd to the last checkbox is enabled, "enable auto-hide of the playback controls.

  • Windows Media Player cannot play the videos

    Since the last 2 months I find that my Windows Media Player cannot play the videos. After having tried many, I installed the third-party Codec such as GOM Player, GOM DECODER and GOM converter on an experimental basis. For all its operation I installed that for the second time (test period = 1 month). Now, I found some unusual - the entire screen with prop-up Windows began to appear "foggy, unusually large screen, Visuality fuzzy." So GOM was 'uninstalled' in the menu 'program & feature. When he learned from the Microsoft Forum I installed k - lite Codec system. Now, some of my videos recorded under 'Image' menu works fine. But the videos stored in the "library" of WMP is not reacting. I need your advice. Again, in a prop-up window of K-Lite has asked to opt feither for: (i) (ii) repairs, (Iii) remove or change. I opted for changing file Windows Vista Codec - was the selection was appropriate? Should I opt for Vista Codec file repair?

  • My Windows Media Player will play the video of an MPG file, but it will not play the sound. What is the cause?

    I do video editing.  I transferred my camera video file and Windows Media Player played the video and audio very well at the beginning.  I edited the file with editing software and exported the file again.  Now, the sound will not play using WMP but it will play if I use video editing software.

    As a result, I've uploaded new files from the camera and now WMP not give me sound on those either.  If something seems to be affected by my WMP.  Any help you can give would be much appreciated.

    (b) what is the file format of the resulting video file after editing by using the video editing software?

    Hello!

    You need the codec appropriate to do so. I think that QuickTime can be read natively. Or you can search free converters to translate them into a format that WMP will play.

  • How can I block Windows media player-all function or video?

    OK, I have one of four newspapers-ons in my pc that is locked down pretty tight where the only thing I want to work is word processor (WordPerfect and starting Word version).  My teenage son has impulse control issues, which gives more access means that it is wandering and not on the task.  Theoretically, he likes to play music while working on school assignments (writing) on the computer.  The problem is that apparently in addition to the execution of music files already resident on our pc and external drive, he inserted DVD in the dvd player and movies run (secretly) that are played to use the features of Windows media player.  My preference would be to hell video functionality or the ability to use the DVD drive under this opening of session and leave the ability of audio file.  Is there a way to do this?

    Alternatively, if I install another drive, can I block the video features of a different player and block the drive windows completely?
