Impossible to remove the item from Windows Media Player

Original title: Windows Media Player

I downloaded some videos a few years ago and now I want to remove them from the PC and Windows Media Player. They seem to be linked to a web address for each video. When I remove them, they still appear an hour or two later. I can't get rid of them and I can't find them on my pc. How can I get rid of them?

Thank you

Dan

    I'm on Windows 8 and tried to remove an artist from my Windows Media Player library. It does not work it just did nothing. Instead, I deleted the file from my music folder, but the artist remains in my library and now does not play the file.

    How can I fix it?

    Hey Tapper,

    I suggest you to clear the database of Windows Media Player and see if the problem still occurs.

    To do:

    a. press the Windows key + R and type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.

    b. Select all files in the folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

    Note You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

    d. restart Windows Media Player.

    Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

    If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

    a. press the Windows key + R and type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoftand then click OK.

    b. Select the Media Player folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

    c. restart Windows Media Player.

    Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

    I get this error when I try to play a file I've downloaded BBC iplayer. What is the solution?

    My sound driver and the device is installed and running as I am able to listen to music on my laptop. He used to work until I upgraded to Windows 7. and since I have updated it did not work. Windows Media Player works on other video files

    Please try the following steps: -.

    2. use Device Manager to check the status of your audio device.

    a. click Start, right-click computerand then click Manage.

    (b) in the left pane, click Device Manager.

    c. in the pane, expand sound, video and game controllersand then look for the name of your audio device.

    3. If your audio device is listed, but the icon has a red 'X', the device has been disabled.          To activate the device, right-click the icon, and then click Activate.

    4. If your audio device is not listed in the right pane, expand other devices. If the Multimedia Audio Controller appears in the list, right-click on the icon and then click Update driver software. Follow the on-screen instructions to find and install the driver software.

    The ID3 header is a part of the file that stores the album information of the song (for example, the song name, artist name, album name and kind). This information is sometimes called tag. After you remove the headers ID3, Windows Media Player should be able to play MP3 files.

  • How to move pictures from the library of Windows Media Player to the picture library or another user account

    I'm trying to move images from windows media player library of images, or if possible to another account 'user '.

    Windows Media Player and libraries contain no files, you just tell him
    where to find files.
     
    For other users to access the same files, place them in a folder accessible
    to all, such as public folders.

  • Can I record information such as Playcount and Auto rating data from Windows Media Player so that the next time I reinstall windows I can just update?

    Recently, I have reinstalled my windows 7 due to the error in the IP Helpdesk (perhaps due to a virus). When I've reconfigured my WMP, I found that all my statistical data have been lost. Its a huge fork - my three years of statistics reduced to ashes. Can I do something to prevent it?

    Hello

    You can use the canned my ratings stars as global ratings in the option files store classification data, but the game number is not possible.

    Refer to this article:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/media-information-in-Windows-Media-Player-frequently-asked-questions

    To play account, you will need to use your favorite search engine to find a software that allows you to record information from Windows Media Player.

    Note: Using third-party software 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.

  • Receive the message error "Windows Media Player cannot extract one or more tracks from the CD"

    Original title: Windows Media Player 12 in Windows 8 - will not tear, will not allow rip parameter changes

    Recently started Windows Media Player displays this error message when I tried to rip CDs: "Windows Media Player cannot extract one or more tracks from the CD." When I checked the rip settings, I found that no location has been chosen, even if I had chosen a location when I first set up WMP over a year ago. When I clicked on the "Change location" button, nothing happened, so I'm not able to choose a file location. I downloaded and Fix It (http://support.microsoft.com/mats/windows-media-player-diagnostic-Windows-8/en-us) from Microsoft allows WMP and the library, hoping this would solve the problem, but the problem persists. After that, I also found that none of the rip settings can be changed, not only the location of the file. I get an error message that "ripping settings could not be applied" when I try to change anything on the tab music Rip under Options. I found a support of forum responses that mention a registry fix but does not provide any details on how to achieve this. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    Were there any changes (hardware or software) to the computer before the show?

    Ripping allows you to put the titles of your audio CD on your PC. When you rip the tracks, they become digital files on your PC.

    There are two places in the Player library where you can customize your settings and better to make ripping work:

    • In the Rip settings menu (with less choice customization).

    • In the Options dialog box (with several choices of customization).

    Method 1: run the tool library, Windows Media Player and Windows Media Player settings and check if the extraction is possible.

    Step 1:

    a: press the logo Windows + O to open the search box.
    b: Type Troubleshooting, press ENTER.

    c: now, click on programs.

    d: and then click Windows Media Player  library.

    Step 2:

    a: press the logo Windows + O to open the search box.
    b: Type Troubleshooting, press ENTER.

    c: now, click on programs.

    d: and then click Windows Media settings.

    Method 2: Perform the steps from the link below and see if it helps.
