• Can not play videos in Media Center

  Does anyone know how to play movies in Media Center, they work in Media Player, but when I go to the Media Center, he said that one or more codecs required to play this video are missing. I have the K-lite mega codec pack, but obviously that doesn't seem to be enough.
  any help will be greatly appreciated

  Hi KhalilOmarshah,

  You can take a look at the answer in the following thread.  This person was having the same problem as you and was able to resolve it using a different codec pack.  This may be able to help too.  Please let us know if you have any other questions, or if this does not solve your problem.  Thank you.

• Can not play music in media center 2004 on Satellite P15-S470

  Hello

  Last weekend, I upgraded Windows XP Media Center SP1 to SP2 (because MS no longer supports it) on laptop Toshiba Satellite P15-S470 to my father. Tonight, I found that his Media Center 2004 refuses to read audio CDs audio error: "To play music in media center, install Windows Media Player 9 or a repair."

  After a long search on the Internet (e.g., newsgroups and forums), I found this a known issue since the release of SP2 in 2004. He worked before SP2 and other music players (for example, Windows Media Player (WMP) v10 and iTunes v6.x) have no problem. I tried to use Registry MCE 2004 provided by Toshiba and HP fixes (just for fun) and restart, but they did not help.

  Is there anything else to try next to the clean installation of SP2 and the BONE with its software? I was about to update WMP to v11, but I discovered that it does not work in MCE 2004. :(

  Thank you in advance. :)

  Hello

  You have this problem its just at the point where you use WMC to listen to the music CD or also with other players?

  Is there any problem, indicated in the device (sound card) Manager?

  Hi Howstewdo,

  To help you better I would like to ask you a few questions.

  (1) since when are you facing this problem?

  (2) if it works well before?

  (3) you did any hardware or software changes on the computer?

  (4) what is the format of the file you are trying to play?

  (5) have you tried playing the file on another drive?

  (6) is this problem with media or all media?

  (7) this comes only on the same machine?

  You can also update your media center with the latest version of the codec software and see if the problem.

• Can not play dvd directed by movie maker and create dvd on my TV

  I have Windows Media Player and DVD maker (version 6.0.6002.18005 file).  The type of file, I add to movie maker are all JPEG. I created the video file in movie maker and then use the option to burn on dvd in Director using a dvd - rw disc.  I can read the disc on the computer, but can't play them on the TV.  I checked with the manufacture of the VCR and said that this type of disc will play on my machine.  Others have suggested that the dvd was not finalized, but I guess it was taken in charge in machine to dvd program. I use Windows Vista.

• No sound when playing movies through Media Center

  I can watch TV, play movies through third-party software and the sound is great.  I go through a system of 5:1 and all speakers work.  However, when I try to play a movie in the film library of the Media Center, I don't hear sounds in the background, no track of voice!

  What gives?

• Question for Microsoft Support; I have a huge amount of music files .m4a that I can not play on Windows Media Player?

  Question for Microsoft Support;
  I have a LARGE amount of files music .m4a in a storage drive stand alone that I downloaded from an old Apple computer have more possession of. I can't understand how to enter these data into my old Emachines computer Windows Vista run the Media Player program. I tried to copy a few files m4a manually in the file Media Player Music folder, but they do not play. I'm not really all that computer savvy and know only the basics, I need to use my computer really. Can you give me some step by step instructions how to get these converted files or whatever it is I need to do to get them to play and to integrate properly into my library if it is possible? If this isn't the case, I'll have to go out and buy a new Apple computer for my 60 GB music collection. In the past, that I've never had no real problem shooting files to leave this computer based Vista and convert these files to my old computers Apple Itunes Player. So what's the problem with your system of guys that done anyway this such a pain in the butt? I would really like to understand what exactly is happening with this issue? It's very frustrating for me. I'm a finish Carpenter not a computer programmer. Such things should not be so difficult for someone like me to understand. All I intend to buy a really nice computer, probably in the summer and was considering a Microsoft based computer. But if this kind of problem will be spread with Microsoft products, so maybe I should reconsider. help you can offer to alleviate this problem will be greatly appreciated.
  Thank you

  According to research on the Internet, Windows Media Player, atleast this is version 11 (included in Windows Vista and available for Windows XP SP2 +) cannot play Apple loseless type .m4a audio files without having to install any codecs.

  If you want to use Windows Media Player, you can follow the instructions mentioned here to install the necessary codecs and plugins.

  (In the related instructions above, in the first step talks about codecs - your .m4a files are files Apple loseless then follow the party referred to in the first stage about Apple loseless .m4a)

  Personally, I prefer using alternatives to Windows Media Player rather than installing codec packs.

  If you don't want to install codecs, download no matter what media player from "programs that open. M4A files"- Windows category list on this page.

  If you use a spare player - VLC Media Player is my choice.

  Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem
  you're not giving us enough information. When did it stop working? If it worked
  previously, I would recommend first trying to run Windows Media Player AND Windows
  Media Center, and then again. Control Panel, programs and features, tour
  Windows feature turn on or off. Uncheck the two programs, restart. Go back and turn them
  both on reboot. This solve your problem? Otherwise, you should try a system
  Restore to a point where everything worked normally, maybe early August? By
  wait, you have only made it more difficult to triage and solve your problem.
