• How to disable the pop up "Windows Media Player cannot download the information on the media... "after the extraction of a CD without activation of network connectivity.

  When I copy a CD with Windows Media Player, I get the message pop up after the investigation period is over: "Windows Media Player cannot download the media for this CD information. The other titles, artist, and album will be identified as "Unknown" in your library. For best results, connect to the Internet or manually add media for CD information. »

  I know that the message appears when I turn on the setting to allow WMP to connect to the internet to get information about the media, but I don't want WMP does. What I want is a button I can push on the pop-up that says "don't show this message again" (similar to the warnings seen in internet explore). How can I disable this pop-up window without activating the internet connection option.

  In case you're wondering, the data from the internet are incompatible in the naming convention so when I rip an audio book, so I can listen to my mp3 player, I can't completely post-processing script because not all of the disks in a set have a coherent on the slopes or even name the disc etc. At least drives marked 'Unknown' is consistent and so easy to script for the reduction to a single MP3 file.

  Hey Taylor09,

  You may find that you are getting this message in Windows Media Player due to one of the following reasons.

  a. you try to play a file that is not supported by the player.

  b. you are trying to play a file that the player does not support, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the player.

  Step 1:

  Confirm that you are trying to play a supported file type. The following article lists the types of files (formats) supported by Windows Media Player.

  Information on the types of media files that supports Windows Media Player

  Note that if you tried to play the file type is included in this table, the file might have been encoded with a codec that is not supported by Windows Media Player. If this is the case, Windows Media Player cannot play the file.

  Step 2:

  Download the necessary codec to play the file.

• I can't with all of the built-in Windows Media Player having sites. If I go to a page with a Webcam that uses Windows Mwdia, the player does not even appear. Any ideas?

  With all my other browsers, thia is not a problem, including Firefox 3.6. For example, this http://www.liveduvalstreet.com/ page in all browsers except Firefox 4. Because of this issue, I have reverrted to 3.6 until I can find a solution. I tested this page in Chrome, Maxthon 2 and 3, Internet explorer 8 and Firefox 3.6 with no problems at all. This is just one example of site. All sites with the built-in player will not work.

  First of all, make sure you have the plugin wmp installed from here: http://port25.technet.com/pages/windows-media-player-firefox-plugin-download.aspx

  I had the same problem, posted the question, but got no response. To disable all add-ons & allowing one by one, I finally discovered that "Plugin RealPlayer browser Record" "blocking" all games embedded wmv. This extension has been installed automatically when I installed FF4. And I don't have the option to uninstall

  Here's a simple test: http://webaim.org/techniques/captions/windows/media/embed.htm

  With this add-on Realplayer active, will not play the video; with this option disabled, it will be.

  I wish some of these gurus here to post more information on this subject. You and I cannot be the only people with this problem.

• After the upgrade to 2 TB HDD, I am unable to play. AVI in Windows Media Player files

  I used a program called BandiCam save games/windows on my Windows 7 computer. I recently upgraded to a 2 TB HARD drive and transferred all my files to the new disk. None of the Windows files were transferred by my request and now Windows Media Player cannot read the. BandiCam AVI files. I've read that it could be the Codecs of compression used by Bandicam however until I transferred all my files he was running fine records. I tested on my laptop with the same file, and it worked fine as well. Is there a debug/repair for Windows Media Player program? Or could I just re - install completely?

  Hello

  Welcome to the community forums of Microsoft and thanks for posting the question. I've surely you will help find a solution on the issue.

  1. what happens when you tried to read the files using Windows Media Player?

  2. do you receive any error messages?

  3 have you tried reinstalling the Bandi-cam program after upgrade to the hard drive?

  Method 1:

  Try to uninstall and reinstall the Bandi-cam program and check with the question.

  Method 2:

  To resolve this problem, you can try to install Audio codec and check if the problem persists.

  A codec is a software to compress or decompress a digital media file, such as a song or a video. Windows Media Player and other programs use codecs to play and create digital media files.

  A codec can consist of two components: an encoder and a decoder. The encoder performs the compression function (coding) and the decoder performs the decompression function (decoding). Some codecs include both components and some codecs only one of them.

  For example, when you rip a song from an audio CD on your computer, the player uses the default Windows Media Audio codec to compress the song into a compact WMA file. When you play that WMA file (or any WMA file that may be broadcast from a Web site), the player uses the codec Windows Media Audio to decompress the file for music can be played through your speakers.

  More Codec please visit the following link:

  Codecs: Frequently asked questions

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/codecs-frequently-asked-questions

  You can search your favorite engine and download and install the codec that is compatible with the operating system.

  Just upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista and am having a problem with Windows Media Player 12 and its indexing.  In WMP11, you could put all your pictures in your "My pictures" folder (so they appear in the Media Center) but then exclude it from indexing in WMP11, then it would not bog you try to index all things.

  This option has been removed in WMP12.  If you want images to appear in the Media Center, they must be included in your WMP12 library. (Even if Media Center does not use the WMP library to ALL display pictures - she designs per file)

  Because I have thousands of photos and videos, this is a major problem at any time an Extender is turned on, because for some reason when you start an Extender it forces a new scan of all your media.  It is in turn completely failed the system leaving the main centre of the media both all completely unnecessary extensions while CPU hits 100%.

• Windows Media Player 'file not found '.

  Windows Vista Home Premium with Service pack 2 and countless updates. Am on my own ethernet network, access the internet with what we call now AT & T Yahoo via their DSL service.  The company with which I work stations streaming of audio files that are accessed by using Windows Media Player. Windows XP users just go on the company's website and click on the appropriate button to listen to the file.

  When I do the same, Windows Media Player opens, I give "file not found" instead of audio. I can 'see' the file name, right click on it and see its properties (size 0, no media acess etc.) so "not found" seems to be the wrong term. The file is there, but I can't access it.

  Sharing and discovery in network and sharing Center seems to be the problem. The six options, all are "on" except the last, "media sharing." It is 'Off '.  And while I can change the first five options on and outside, not so "media sharing."  Instead of turn it on, I get this message: "when media sharing is on, people and devices on the network can access shared music, photos and videos on this computer and this computer can find these types of files shared on the network.

  And that is, of course, exactly what I'm trying to do.  What should I do to actually enable media sharing? I understand that sharing has its risks, and my goal is to get access to these audio files continuously to be able to listen to them online or download it to my library to access more specific only later.

  Any suggestions for someone who has had this problem and found his resolution would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance. Hugh
