In Media Player, I see all my music files. However when I go to explore I can see all the Albums and music files theer. I can play from there, but I can just see them in Media Player.

Any ideas?

Dawn

Hi dawn,

1 how long have you been faced with this problem?

2. How did you do any hardware changes or software on your computer before this problem?

3. what version of Windows Media player do you use?

4. what operating system is installed on your computer?

I suggest you to rebuild the database from the Windows Media Player library. Later, try to read music files in Windows Media Player.

If you use Windows Media player 11, follow this link: you cannot view, add, or delete items in the library of Windows Media Player 11

Hope the helps of information.

  • Windows Media Player 12 does not all songs.

    Hey, guys!

    I have a little problem. I have a total of 4 700 songs on my computer. The Windows media player 12, however, only we add 1 230 my library. I just had to launch a song directly from Windows Explorer, because it is not present in the Media Player Library. This song is located in the My Music folder, which is supposed to be identifiable my Media Player. It is also in the music library of Win7, but not in the Media Player library... Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Eugene.

    m00cher, try the following steps to reset the media library:

    -Restart the PC.
    -Go to start - run, type services.msc and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service . If its status is started , double-click the service, and then click stop .
    -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
    -In this folder, rename the folder Media Player as Old Media Player . If you do not see the folder, then it is probably hidden. Set Explorer to view the hidden files and folders and show protected system files.
    -Launch WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt. Check if the problem persists.

    Hello

    Do you have any application installed on the computer security?

    Method 1:

    If you do, I suggest you to disable anti-virus and check if it solved the problem.

    NOTE: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    If the step is not enough, then you can go to the method 2:

    Method 2:

    I suggest you go through the steps and check.

    a. closed Windows Media Player12.

    b. Access Services [table-> system and security-> administration-> Services tools]

    c. find the service named "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service"

    d. stop the Service manually.

    e. Locate the "UpnP device host"service. Stop the service and restart it.

    f. run "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service" now.

    g. close windows all associated and the Panel. Open Windows Media Player, right click on a playlist and see if the Play option lists the TV. Try to play now.

    Hope this helps and keep us posted.

  • Media Player 11 will not play my music on my external hard drive

    I have all my music files on my external hard drive.  I organized them by band.  I can't make my Media Player read the external hard drive to play music.  I already went in Tools/Options/Library/monitor folders and added the file in there and who's going to add an external hard drive in the list of watched folders, but when I go to my library all my music isn't here.  I tried to move the 'my music' folder on my external hard drive so that it points to this folder automatically and that no longer works.  I am now at a loss.  Help, please.  Thank you.

  • My copy of windows media player 11 does not play video.

    My copy of windows media player 11 does not play video. When you try to play the video (usually an avi file) I get audio and visualization. I tried to uninstall and install new, but does not. I chose also to all types of files media player by default but video still does not play.

    An avi file is simply a container that may have different types of files in it for video and audio.

    You probably don't have the correct Codec to play the video.

    Either download a codec pack such as K-lite or download a little program called G-spot, open it and drag your avi file in the center of the small window of G-spot.

    It will then tell you what Codec uses the avi file. You can then Google that particulat Codec, download and install it.

    See you soon,.

  • 1: 0x80042318__2 system restore error: Windows Media Player 11 will not work open__3: Internet Explorer 8 crashes when opening.

    I have these three questions of program after reinstallation of Windows Vista and tried (mostly unsuccessful) using Windows Easy Transfer to move and reinstall my programs and files. My computer had some problems before start, (it would be almost always gives me the blue screen at startup and go into Startup Repair). The Startup Repair wouldn't fix anything and just lose about 20 minutes of my time. Finally, he wouldn't even load at all and the Startup Repair did not help so I decided to reinstall Windows Vista. It worked perfectly until what stupidly, I decided to try and use Windows easy transfer if everything goes well "to" my programs this new copy of Windows Vista.

    So now my questions are: Windows Media Player 11 does not open. I don't see a thumbnails of videos that would open with Windows Vista either. Oddly, although I can use Windows Media Center very well. I also installed Quicktime player and it seems to work perfectly.
    It was not catastrophic but especially a gene. I use VLC player to manage most of my videos very well, but love using WMP before.

    Second: I can't create restore points at all. Once I try, I get this error message:
    "The restore point could not be created for the following reason:
    An error was detected in the copy Service VSS (Volume Shadow). The problem occurred while trying to connect with the VSS writers. Please check the event system service and the VSS service are running and look for errors related to event logs. (Ox80042318) Please try again. »

    Finally, for some reason any after the transfer, eventually after Internet Explorer automatically updated it will completely freeze when I open it. This is for me the prompt to open the session previously was crushed, and if I try that or close the dialog to open just the home page, it will freeze completely, even the blue circle next to the name of the tab to load.
    Fortunately, I have Firefox and Google Chrome installed, both work very well.

    Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm not entirely fretting on IE8 and WMP 11 but I feel really that less stressed if I know that I have a System Restore Point in case my previous numbers start to happen again.

    Here are my system specs, in case that dans le cas ou c' est is somehow useful.

    Other things you can try after trying the suggestions "Sreenkanth T" is to run the ChkDsk program.

    Windows Easy Transfer moves not installed third-party programs on the whole, he does that move their settings, your files and settings Windows.

    As you have just reinstalled Vista, where were your old programs and files (on which machine) when you used Windows Easy Transfer, you still have access to them?

    You have to maybe do the reinstall once more but forget your settings and just manually copy all of your data?  This way you will give you restart with no old parameters of any other machine?

    You can also consult the third-party program (costs a little money), but he can move everything, including the programs installed.

  • Windows Media Player 11 is not often day Date last played

    I have a fairly complex auto playlist, but when I am using it and showing the "Now Playing" list, the column "Date last played" is not updated.

    He used to update in the past, but now it is no longer made. Is there something I can do to recover this feature? While it worked, it was very helpful, because I could use the "Date last played" from time to time to what extent I had, if I pressed the stop and I wanted to restart here where I left.

    With WMP 11 because my system is XP.

    1. Exit Windows Media Player.
    2. If you are running Windows XP, click Start, click run, type %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft and then click OK.

      If you are running Windows Vista, click Start, all programs->Accessories->run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft and then click OK.

    3. Select the Media Player folder, and then click delete on the file menu.
    4. Restart Windows Media Player.

  • When I copy a CD in Windows Media Player 11 does not apply media information.

    With the XP sp3 operating system, I rip the CD purchased and Windows Media Player 11 does not apply media information. Either he gives and error saying that it cannot be done because I am not connected to the internet while I'm connected, or it can recognize my internet connection, but I have to do a manual search and manually apply the name of each track, even if they are present and order under each line I have to click to match the name of the correct track.

    It's so frustrating to have to fight manually for applied information on the media which is clearly presented, and after all, album art that shows correctly in the finder info media constantly refuses to fill in the library and I have to go to a separate Web site and copy and paste it in. Yes, he found elsewhere on the internet, with the help of the connection which was present all along!

    It's crazy, the info is already there! And why do I go online in any case the info is in the CD? This doesn't seem to be a problem with the previous players. Please provide a fix for this useless, frustrating dinosaur, waste of time, a process!

    Have you tried to delete temporary Internet files and the Cookies in Internet Explorer?

    If you temporarily disable your firewall software, which helps? This could be a third-party firewall, like Symantec, or the built-in Windows Firewall.
