• How can TV 31RL938 - I find installation key for PC-Windows Media Player

  To watch DVD from PC - Windows Media Center (Windows 8) on my TV (31RL938, without fire related to the internet), I have to do an Extender installation with the Media Center on my PC (the TV symbol is on my PC).
  That's why I have to put in an installation key (8 digits), which should be on my TV / Extender by choosing 'Windows Media Center' here.

  But how can I find it?

  Thanks for the help!

  Gerd

  Have you managed that?

  To my knowledge the two devices; your TV and your PC must be connected to the same network: in my case its home WLan.

  I don t use Media Center, but I made the connection with Windows Media Player.
  Using the Media Player I can listen to the video and music to my TV or stereo receiver...

• How can I change the name of a song in windows media player?

  I downloaded some songs from frostwire and me when I did drag them to my windows media player, I could only put them in a new play list. And when I try to view all my songs, only the songs in the show here, ive I only see those that I added, if I click on the reading list. And she also won't let me not rename songs, if I get the singer, the date that it was made and the name of the song ect all in the name box. She also doesn't sort them in abc order, even if I click the button so he can. Any help please? And I thank you.

• How can I exclude specific folders of the indexing of Windows Media Player stream?

  Windows Media Player 12 has removed the possibility of excluding some files being indexed.  This feature was available in Windows Media Player 11.  I need to be able to exclude some records indexed because I have collections of photos that are too big for the WMP player to manage.

  Excluding these folders in the library WMP is not an option because MediaCenter uses the settings of the library to determine where to find pictures (even if it does not use the library to view photos or videos - just the WMP settings) so if they are not included in the library WMP, I can't see them in MediaCenter, but if they are in the WMP library he freezes everything for 30 minutes whenever I turn on an Extender that forces a re-analysis of the WMP library.

  I tried to edit wmpfolders.wmdb to exclude certain files, but the changes that I last only for a few hours to a day or two.

  any ideas?

  Thank you
  Dan

  Hi Khaled, thank you very much for your answer.  My question was related to the media library in Windows Media Player, but your response was to Windows 7 libraries.  Unfortunately, your answer does not apply to my question.

  What I need to be able to do, is to exclude a folder from indexing of Windows Media Player streams although it is included in the list of folders to the index.  It's because the Media Center uses the settings of the library Windows Media Player to determine where to find pictures.  However, it does not use the Windows Media Library to view the photos.  It is, therefore, no need to have Windows Media Player, indexing of thousands of photos when Media Center does not even use the library to display.

  The problem is that when I let Windows Media Player scan my pics, it causes all to slow down for 30 minutes or more each time I light a MediaCenter extender because it is re-scanner all my photos.  However, if I let Windows Media Player not scan my photos, so they are not visible in the MediaCenter.  There is a catch 22.

• How can I change the Art of the track in Windows Media Player?

  I know how to change the album art and I already fixed, but tracks have individual art, designed by the artist, and I want those on their respective titles. I messed around with Windows Media Player for a little bit, but I like the still have not found anything useful.

  I really want this art of the track on my tracks, because it is very important to me.

  Hi NoelleFay,

  I know exactly what you mean, but I don't think that WMP allows this function because most artist do not include only cd art of track individual art.

  I advise you to search/post this question in the forum of Experts of Windows.

  There, the developers of real media meet to solve issues advanced like this.

  Hope this helps,

• What is required to play. MP4 files. The default, Windows Media Player does not work.

  I have Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1.  I tried all four options of Windows when I right click and open

  Make sure that your WMP is the 32-bit default (even for W7 64-bit) version. It has built more than 64-bit codecs.

  Works out of the box for me.
  You can always install a codec package - Klite for example.
  See you soon,.

• How can I remove "set up files" and completely reload windows xp?

  How can I remove "set up files" and completely reload windows xp? They were installed when I tried to reload xp before and there is always a sp1 on the pc version now.

  This CD should work and it should be bootable.  It seems that if you always boot from the hard drive and then you look at the content of the CD-ROM in Windows Explorer.

  If the BIOS is set to boot from the CD, you should not get a menu asking which device to boot from.  At most, you will get something like "Press any key to boot from the CD-ROM."

  You have an another bootable CD that you know works or do you have another computer you can try this CD to see if it works correctly?
