How can I transfer video files to the library in windows media player for an external hard drive
How can I transfer video files to the library in windows media player for an external hard drive. My os is Windows XP Home Edition and I use wmp 11.
You have to locate the files on your internal hard drive, using the Explorer, then drag and drop them on the hard drive. If you don't know where they are on your hard drive, right click on the video file in the library and choose the location of the opened file.

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
DanHi 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.

Problem: After I do a backup one using ghettoVCB on a local VMFS volume, I have a virtual machine that I can start something happened to that running. However, sometimes I just need a file from the OS level, which means that I would need to start to get them, but then I have an IP address conflict. I can't imagine a way to have the NICs turned off and still be able to move the file. If I change the IP addresses, the software that I need to create the file that I need to transfer no longer works because, although there no need of constant connectivity to the seller, it is locked to the public IP address.
Material: I have two 4 ESXi hosts to work, each with local VMFS volumes. They share a private vlan common and a vlan common public. They each ssh, ftp, wput, wget, and rsync available. I have a Windows 2003 Server VM which also hosts a NFS and the VI client and other VMWare tools. It also has private and public interfaces as do virtual machines that would be to make and receive the OS files.
Question: How can I transfer a file from the operating system to a backup of the production running VM virtual machine?
Thank you!
Yes Mr President, make sure you set the network on this virtual machine to be connected to the 'Internal' vswitch, you set up before turning the power on to the virtual machine.

I am trying to manually rearrange media in a way and records are arranged and named on my Win7 PC. I need to be able to move and rename files and folders individual.
The problem is that the traditional method of doing such things (i.e. the cut/Paste and Rename commands in Windows Explorer) will cause the damaged Windows Media Player library. It seems that all the changes to the paths of the multimedia files must be made in the Windows Media Player interface. However, I'm unable to find options to move or rename files or folders in WMP.I am aware that there is a way to move and rename all the files and the folders that contain media files automatically, but not what I'm looking for. As far as I know, it does not allow me to select only the files and folders, and it offers very limited options for what could be the new places and names.What is the feature I want to exist in WMP? If not, is it possible to do outside WMP which will not cause the damaged WMP library? (Also, if not, why not, Microsoft?)Thank youHello
You can change the location of folders in Windows Explorer.After changing the location, I suggest you to rebuild the Windows media player library.You can check these links: -
MP4 video files do not appear in Windows Media Player 12
Hi, I have Windows 7 64 bit and WMP version 12.0.7600.16667
I have several .mp4 video files in the folder my videos that do not appear in the video library (other type .avi files). I want to listen to these files on my Sony Playstation so I did already a lot of googling but could not find a solution. From what I checked on my system, I already have a codec and if I click on a such file in play in WMP.
Can I do to solve this problem? Thank you.
I don't know if it has changed since Vista but Mp4 video was not a video file type recognized, so a registry change has been necessary to make it usable as MS file formats AVI or WMV etc... MS has (yet?) Default identified it as an audio file format. MP4 is in fact also a video container type of file, such as AVI. You need a separator of suitable as well as audio and video CODECs on the system file.
The instructions for the installation of ffdshow and Haali splitter should work:
http://www.Afterdawn.com/guides/archive/how_to_play_mp4_files.cfm
It is essentially the same thing that I've done and MP4 files appear in my video library WMP.

How can I get WMP to find all my songs that are stored on an external hard drive?
I bought an external hard drive to store music for my product and WMP adds only about 30% of the songs to the Player library. Some are wma and some are in mp3 format (added to the library and which must still be added). I tried to uncheck Read-only after reading some responses online, but who did not stick and nothing changed. How can I get WMP to find all my songs?
I couldn't change them to read-only. Fortunately after the computer restarts several times it work itself.
Thanks for all the tips!
