  Hello

  I have mp4 video files that I can't to the list under the genres that I want to do in Windows Media Center.

  I have the list of the kind I want them to appear as in the Details section on the right of the video click, but in the movies section, they appear under the type 'other '? Why?

  Do I need a '. '. XML data file"to make it work?

  I noticed all movie files that can take the date meta online have 2 to 3 "." XML files"in their records. These video files appear under the genres as they should.

  I tried to make one. XML file for the video files that can't dry meta data online but they always appear under 'Other' type only.

  I need more than 1. XML meta data file? If I do what they are and how can I do it myself?

  Can someone lead me to a site that explains how all the. Meta data files XML that I need to make this work.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I did a long time ago and it does not help.

  However, I found a solution.

  'Master Media Center' (free version of the program) will download the XML MetaData files and place them in the folder of video/film. This will force even make a MetaData XML file if it cannot find anything online.

  Apparently, Windows Media Center uses XML files to determine what kinds of display movies under.

  Without a metadata file XML Media Center will put the video file in the type 'Other' even if you wrote a kind under details.

  Now, if I can get my Windows Media Center to stop crashing when I open "Movies!

• How can I burn a DVD in Windows Media Center with the closed captioning information included?

  I recorded a program in Windows media center.  When I read the program, it displays the closed captioning information.  If I burn a DVD program closed captioning information do not display during playback.  How can I burn the DVD to include captioning?

  Hello
   
   
  1. How do you try to burn the DVD? You have saved the DVD on the desktop (hard drive) or you burnt before you save it to a DVD?
  2. after are burning the DVDs in which application you trying to play?
  
  I suspect that the captions are already burned in DVD, at this point in time we can cross check if the option is set to display captions.
  To enable or disable subtitles for DVD
  a. on the Windows Media Center start screen, navigate to tasks, click settings, click DVD and then click subtitle.
  b. click the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons to select power off or when cut, and then click Save.
   
  For more information, refer to the article below.

• can't buy the key to Windows Media Center

  I am trying to add the Media Center functionality to my installation of Windows 8 Pro.  I go through the motions of purchasing the key and after I sent my details (I tried paypal and credit card) I get the message saying "sorry we were not able to complete your order...

  We were not able to check your order online.  Please buy a product key from a retailer close to you. »
  Now, I would be happy to go to a store and spend $9.99 for a WMC key except cannot be bought in the shop.  The only way to buy the key of the WMC is via "Add features" in my Windows 8 Pro.
  A Microsoft person please explain what is happening and perhaps I can buy the elusive WMC key?
  Thank you
  Nick

  Hi Nick,

  I apologize for the difficulty that you have faced all trying to buy Media Center for Windows 8 Pro pack feature key.

  In the present case is apparently caused by an error either in the Microsoft Account, you use the method of payment set up in this account.

  Both of your posts, I couldn't know if payments have crossed in the attempts you have made to buy the feature pack. I believe that the payment would not, however, if it is different, please let us know.

  Try using a different credit card when buying the feature pack? This could cause questions sometimes.

  The next step, I would suggest would be to use an another Microsoft Account to connect to Windows 8 Pro and try to add the feature pack for this account. You can create a new user in your Windows 8 Pro against another email address that you may have and check if you are able to add the feature pack for this account.

  In addition, if you have a student Email ID, you could try to create a user account on the computer in the face of this E-mail ID and check if that allows you to buy and add the feature pack.

  I'll wait to see if these steps help you to solve this problem. Don't let us know the State, we are happy to be of assistance. Have a good day ahead!

• Recently, when I try to access Firefox I get Windows Media Center (WMC) instead. I want to access my old Firefox bookmarks/favorites.

  My problem with Firefox/WMC is related to a user account. So I've set up a new user account, and I can access in Firefox. I wish I could import my bookmarks/favorites Firefox associated with my old user account to my new user account. The instructions I've seen all say to go to the old account from Firefox, but I can't get in. Is there a way to access my old favorites/bookmarks and transfer them to Firefox on my new user account?

  There are two, the Profile Manager and the profile folder that the data is stored in. (if you refresh at any time, that data will be in a folder on the desktop called "Old data from Firefox")

  • Backup and restore Firefox profiles information
  • Use the Profile Manager to create and delete profiles Firefox
  • Profiles - where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data

  Open the folder of a new profile and copy the files from the old to crush are a messy hack as well.

  Anyone know how to fix this? Or otherwise, I just want to use my computer to watch TV on, and if I can do this other method other than Windows Media Center free I am happy to do.

• No toolbar, no front or rear, no Firefox button buttons, no Favorites, no window address, not ANYTHING other than the web page, I'm on.

  Firefox is in full screen mode. Windows 7. I can't do anything other than read the web page, I'm. There is NO button for navigation or anything else. No toolbar. Nothing. The only way I can close the program must use Ctrl-Alt-Del and use the Task Manager. No way to start Firefox in Safe Mode, no way to reset. Suggestions like hitting Alt or Alt followed by V - T - M do nothing. I've updated plug-ins. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox - no change. It is completely unusable.

  If you are in full screen view then hover over with the mouse upward to make the bar appear Navigation and tab bar.
  
  You can click the maximize button in the upper right to leave the mode full screen or empty space of a right-click on a toolbar and use "exit full screen" or press F11.
