  Windows media player

  So using your media guide? or you are using a browser that has a particular video game that uses the Media Player plugin?  You may need a codec pack.

  If you use media guide try watch it in your browser. Then tell me if this works.  Also you may not know that this media player will wait until the entire video is buffered before playing.

• Is there a possibility that MusicBrainz can be added as a data provider for Windows Media Player

  When you use Windows Media Player, I was hurt a lot to identify my music. A lot of music I have is not available in the Microsoft music meta service database. What gives? Would be nice if Microsoft could be added to their database. MusicBrainz is a big data provider for Windows Media Player and would make it easier for information about the available media. Data MusicBrainz are permitted in the public domain and some under Creative Commons (CC) license. I don't think that Rovi has a contract saying to Microsoft data to use. I can cite other data in addition to the AMG providers: Journal of CD Japan, CD newspaper China, ZACR DBS and feedback from users. I can almost guarantee you if Microsoft used the MusicBrainz data, Windows Media Player would be much easier for the Organization of the music. Data MusicBrainz are much better quality than WMP user feedback data.

  ========================================
  I was wondering... you are totally unable to download the file
  on your hard drive? Or... you can download the file to your hard drive
  by car, but simply cannot display it?

  If you right click the executable for Windows Media Player and
  in the menu choose... Properties / Compatibility tab is...
  Windows 95, chosen for Compatibility Mode? If_Yes_try
  unchecking the box / apply / OK.

  It might be the next thread deals with the same issue...

  When I want to burn a CD in Windows Media Player, it shows "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem when burning the file to disk".    What's wrong? How to fix?

  I tried several times to remove the selection to burn and create a new a new but it keep "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem when burning the file to delivery" appears what should I do?   What problem is it?

  Hello

  1. what file format you are trying to burn?

  2. have you made changes on the computer recently?

  3. What is the security software installed on the computer?

  If it's something you downloaded, it may be copy protected by DRM, in which case you may not burn it to a CD or DVD.

  Here are a few things to try:

  1. make sure that the disc is clean.

  2. try a different brand of blank discs.

  3. stop all other programs that are running.

  4. make sure that the hard drive does not use disk compression.

  I suggest that you follow these steps and check if they help to solve the problem.

  Method 1:

  Try to use the Troubleshoot utility to see if that solves the problem.

  a. open the troubleshooting Windows Media Player settings Troubleshooter by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel.

  (b) in the search box, type "convenience store" and then click Troubleshooting.

  c. click on show all and then click the Windows Media Player settings.

  Method 2:

  Select a recording speed (write) more slow for the CD burner.

  Change settings for burning a CD or DVD in Windows Media Player

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/change-settings-for-burning-a-CD-or-DVD-in-Windows-Media-Player

  Method 3:

  If you have any third-party burning software, I suggest you temporarily Uninstall it and then try to burn the disc using Windows Media Player.

  Note: Reinstall the software after the trial.

  Method 4:

  Temporarily disable all programs that could activate themselves, while burning is in progress, such as screensavers or anti-virus programs.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

  Note: Run the computer without antivirus software or firewall is a potential threat to the computer; Be sure to activate security software after completing the troubleshooting steps and after identifying the problem.

  I hope this helps.

• There will be an update or a hotfix for windows media player in vista

  I tried all the fixes, codecs, etc..  I just want to know if a new version of WMP will be available for vista or if I need to upgrade to windows 7 so that he can work again.

  Hello Shelby57,

  You can try the following to see if it will get your Windows Media Player in Windows Vista.

  Make sure that Windows Media Player is set as default.
  Go to start. Click default programs. Set default programs. Select Windows Media Player, and then select "Set this program as default". And then click OK.

  First of all, we run System File Checker to see if you have a corrupt file system.

  Click Start
  Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
  Click on "Run as Administrator"
  At the command prompt, type: sfc/scannow

  This will check for any violation of the integrity and repair any damaged operating system files.

  Reboot your system.

  Rename/Delete the "Windows Media" folder located under %userprofile%\appdata\local\microsoft

  Now, go to Windows Media Player, do a right-click and select "run as Administrator".

  You should now be able to open Windows Media Player on Vista.

  I hope this helps.

• Just installed update for Windows Media Player 11 and now, all the songs I had in my library before the update, I get the message you need a license to play these songs.

  These songs have been copied to my computer from the CD that I bought at retail, and have played several times.  Is there a process where they can be reinstated? I don't know if it's the right word, but I hate having to download individual licenses for these songs. And why doesn't IE throw me on the internet as soon as the download license screen happens?  Do I have to uninstall the update?

  Hello

  1. What is the exact error message you get?
  2. what version of Internet Explorer you are using?
  3. do you have an error message when Internet Explorer throws you off the screen?
  4. you remember the update that caused the problem to occur?

  Follow the steps in this article and see if the problem still occurs.
