How to fix my windows media player 12

I was with the windows media player 12 to broadcast my media from my pc to my xbox 360

I have installed a codec pack to get mainly mkv and other formats of media for playback support
It worked fine for a long time.
recently the windows media player 12 categorizes the mkv and accept other formats avi, wmv formats and in the other media section
and the xbox 360 can not find this article so I can't stream this content more
What can I do to fix this

Hi ChrisLovett,

MKV is not a format supported by Xbox 360. If it worked with the Codec pack that you use, you can remove this codec pack and reinstall the latest version of the codec pack and see if that helps.

You can use your favorite search engine to search for a converter to convert the file format of .mkv in another format that supports the Xbox 360.

Warning: Using 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.

Hope this information is useful.

  • How can I prevent Windows Media Player rebuilds with duplicate songs, that I deleted?

    I moved my music files in Windows Media player for this computer with a 1 TB harddrive that I use just for storing music on. When I moved the music files from the computer Windows XP first putting them on a hard drive for the copy and paste and then transfer them to the hard drive of my M:\ the drive on this computer, many duplicates were transferred. I want to remove duplicates. I did this by pressing Ctrl and pointing out the duplicates and then pressing DELETE, and they are then deleted. But after that, it is a small blue arrow that goes down in the lower-right corner of Windows Media player from up and said "Equalization of the Volume" followed by the names of the songs, that is to say several times. M:\.... "For Windows Media player media recovery and rebuild as if it was before I deleted the duplicate songs? I want to also all my songs to be the mp3 type and some are mp4, so how do I fix all the songs to make them of type mp3. Thanks for any help.

    MP4 is usually a video file, I honestly didn't even know MP4 pourrait be used for audio, but this is beyond my skills.  I know that to convert files types, you will need to download a conversion program, Microsoft is no not any program that can do this.

    As for the deleted files that appears, open the Organize menu at the top of the media player, select 'manage libraries' and make sure that it is scanning the correct files.

    If the correct files are analyzed and double presents itself once again, right click on a song in double and select properties to find its location.  And then delete it from here, rather than media player directly.

  • Why windows media player is not reading my DVD, and how do I install windows media player decoder using my drive from windows XP Professional?

    Media player from Windows

    Why windows media player is not reading my DVD, and how do I install the windows media player decoder using my disk of windows XP Professional

    FWIW... Win XP cannot natively recognize Commercial
    DVD video... it requires a DVD decoder. And... He
    is not a DVD decoder on your Win XP Pro drive.

    If you could play before commercial video DVD...
    do a system restore to a time before this started
    may be your solution.

    Or you could buy a DVD decoder at the following link:

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)

    Info about DVD decoders:
    Plug-ins for Windows Media Player

    Or you can download and use one of the following freeware

    * Proceed at your own risk *.

  • How to return to Windows Media Player 10?

    I am running Windows XP Media Center Edition. I want to install adriver for a Creative Zen Touch MP3 player. This operation requires me to go back to Windows Media Player 10, but I can't understand how do. I tried turning on Windows Media Player 11 and Windows Media Player 10, but when I tried to install it, the installation program has recognized the updated version and completed.

    I need to install a driver because the software does not recognize the drive when it is connected.

    =================================
    OK... but why must it be recognized? Is it
    in order to copy MP3 files to MP3 player?

    If you connect the MP3 player and go to my computer
    It can be recognized as a removable drive... If this is the case, you
    can add files from there, and no driver is required.

  • How can I reset Windows Media Player to use songs on my external backup drive instead or in addition to the songs on my desktop with Windows Vista Edition basic hard drive family?

    How can I reset the Player Windows Media in Windows Vista Home Basic to use the songs on my external backup drive instead of (or in addition to) the songs on my desktop hard drive?  Currently, the Media Player library indicates that the hard drive (C:\) is my only option of disks to use for sources of songs.

    Basically, I want to have Media Player external drive for all the songs from research and build his library on this disc instead of on the C:\ drive.
    My problem is that the songs are hogging too much space on my hard drive, so I want to move to my external drive to backup instead, but Media Player will not access it.  I saw an option in Media Player to add a song to a different drive to the library whenever I play a song of this player, but that would require me to play all the songs moved one at a time, which is not practical, and which would not solve my problem because Media Player could still be maintaining the library on my HDD to say.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you.

    Hey stevpw65,

    It is not possible to rip DVD using Windows Media Player. You must use a program designed to legally to copy files from a DVD to a computer.

    Unlike the DVD, you can rip a CD using the player. Information is available here.
