Is not visible jpg pictures in Windows Media Center

I watched all the answers to my question and others with the same question. My camera is a Canon S3 IS powershot that AFAIK takes normal .jpg digital photos. A video (.) MVI file) taken with the same camera is viewable in Media Center. There must be an answer somewhere. I tried to save in jpg format images using picasa, windows media and nero.  jpg is still not displayed. However, tif and bmp gif will be.

Hi Walsgrave,

You need these folders to navigate and choose the image you want to display. If a photo you want to see is not listed, it is likely stored in an unusual place.

 

The default locations for the photos and video are below:

·          C:\Users\Public\Music

·          C:\Users\Public\Pictures

·          C:\Users\Public\Video

·          C:\Users\\Music

·          C:\Users\\Pictures

·          C:\Users\\video

How to add pictures, music and videos from Media Center.

1. on the Start screen, roll down for tasksand click settings.

2. click on the Library Configuration, and then select Add folder to watch.

3. Select the location you want to add to:

(a) Add folders on this computer

(b) Add folders shared from another computer

(c) Add folders from two locations

4 navigate to the folder (s) you want to include, select them and click Next.

5. click Finishand then click OK when you are prompted.

6. you can continue to use Media Center while your library is updated.

7. Once finished the newly added media should be available through the image library.

In addition, the JPG file type is supported so this isn't a problem, but for troubleshooting purposes, you want to try to view different file types in Windows Media Center.

  • Video error: the files needed to display video are not installed or not working not properly. Please restart Windows Media Center...

    Please help - it's driving me crazy! I got this to work!

    I am using Vista Ultimate and a connection (cat-5) ethernet to an xbox 360 as a Media Extender (via a Linksys router). I get the error of the video:
    "The files needed to display video are not installed or not working not properly." Please restart Windows Media Center or restart the computer "."

    I have a Happauge PVR 150 TV capture card installed, and you want to watch TV and my video files Via the Xbox 360. I can see the guide for lists of TV programs, but not to look at them without getting the message above.  I can also put in place a program to record, display the video thumbnail, but not play. Video files only will play are videos very select few years recorded only where there is.

    My graphics card is an ATI 2900XT - 512 MB of ram, with the latest drivers.

    I've seen a number of discussions on the web that describes the same (or similar) problem, but none of them seem to have no solution.

    I had Norton Internet Security installed and it has since withdrawn because of the firewall. I had thought, it could be a firewall issue, but it is not. I'm now using the Windows Firewall for now.

    I deleted and reinstalled the Xbox as an Extender media several times... no help. I have re-installed the complete drivers for the video capture card, it has not helped either. I checked and double-checked the settings on my router as well.

    The xbox is set for the share on my multimedia computer. The correct files can also be programmed for sharing.

    On the PC in Windows Media Center, I can view the TV programs, record programs etc etc etc all work.

  • get this pop up message "a necessary component of the Windows Media Center has not started properly. Restart Windows Media Center.

    Original title: Windows Media Center

    Whenever I try to add videos (or whatever it is) on my media center it will not add and I get this pop up message "a necessary component of the Windows Media Center has not started properly. Restart Windows Media Center.

    And I restart it, but it still gives me the same thing whenever I'll add things. I also have the Extender for my xbox 360 and video flies never show there either. A few moments ago, I got this working with my xbox and everyhting showed, now it gives me fits. Can someone please help

    Try this for me:

    Task Scheduler (Local)-> library of Task Scheduler-> Microsoft-> Windows-> Media Center-> MediaCenterRecoveryTask

    If this does not work, try this:

    1. open regedit by clicking on the start menu and type "regedit" in the search box and clicking on the link of the regedit program that opens.

    2. go in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

    3. click on the file --> export and save a copy of this portion of the registry where you can find later if you need IT.

    4 Note the values in the column of data to "ProgramFilesDir" and "ProgramFilesDir (x 86(). (If you have only one of those that, don't worry. I think that only users of Windows 64-bit will have both, but I don't know.)

    5. If you have a standard installation of Windows, the right for "ProgramFilesDir" column should read "C:\Program Files" and the right column for "ProgramFilesDir (x 86) ' should read"C:\Program Files (x 86)"." If they are not, try changing them to these values. To do this right click on the name in the left column and selecting Edit. Copy the 'correct' value of this message in the data value field in the box that opens. Click OK , and then do the same for the other (if you have two).

    6. RESTART. It will not work until you restart your computer.

    7. Open Windows Media Center and see if the problem is resolved.

  • Netflix will not load up to in Windows Media Center more.

    I've had Netflix service for about two months now. Up to two days, I was able to stream movies through Netflix and Windows Media Center option. Now it will not load anything. It will allow me to connect to Netflix, but I can't get something and my instant queue will not charge.

    I get a message stating:

    NO INTERNET CONNECTION:

    The internet connection has been lost. Make sure that your computer is connected to the internet, and then try again.

    Problem is that I'm connected to the internet. (If I was not logged in, they would not connect to Netflix in the first place.)

    I had even gone to the Media Center General settings to test the internet connection and it says that the internet actually works.

    What is going on? I missed something?

    KC

    You can try a system restore on the eve of the update has been installed and see if
    the problem is resolved. Nothing in the update that fell from Netflix,
    but you can certainly try a restore. A restore is a good troubleshooting step
    for beginners.

    (Do not forget that there is a function of pause/forward who s equivalent to check-in for DRM)

    Looks like the upgrade of the processor messed up somehow DRM rights for this machine, to the point where no films previously saved are playable AND NO NEW FILMS can be registered and enrolled in some way a Canadian Film Channel. (Bell Expressvu - channels 300 + Movie Network)
    Delete the contents of the file DRM (archive first)

    Partial contents of the folder have been recreated...
    Problem remains.
    Can Watch all the channels, but those who are 'Movie channels' stop after about 6 to 10 seconds and display a Message of copying prohibited.
    The broadcaster has banned this content to be copied. You can only read this content on the same computer on which it was recorded.
    Note: I don't like on my OLD recorded movies... In fact already deleted... I just want to be able to watch the movie channels and save NEW ones...

  • Video error - files needed to display video are not installed or not working not properly. Please restart Windows Media Center or restart the computer

    I have Vista Version 6.0.6002.18030 (vistasp2_gdr.090429 - 2357) SP2 installed during an automatic update.  This box is only used as a Media Center

    Now, I get this error when you try to watch HD programming - I get a few seconds of viewing before the image starts to freeze, the acoustic breaks then the error message.
    Recorded at stations SD I will often get towards the end of the program, and it starts too break up.
    The Analysis ToolPak that I found for the Hauppauge 500 t tuner I have reports that all networks have 70 + strength and 100% quality.
    The performance of the Task Manager tab indicates the processor cores ares works at about 25% of capacity
    I had a lot of trouble getting the Pioneer BD drive to work - it turned out to be a very minor mistake, a slider maxed out on the Graphics tab "overlay" card - but until I found this he encouraged to re - install the OS from the original DVD and the problem persists.
    The system used to work properly and there has been no hardware apart from the Pioneer BD drive changes.
    I got ffdshow installed from the beginning, so I don't think that's the problem.

    DVD read OK
    BluRay disks play back ok using the Cyberlink plug in BOF VMC
    Different types of downloaded files play OK using VLC.  So, I conclude that the (integrated) graphics (latest drivers installed) and in the rest of the material are very good.
    Looking through the forums, this seems to be an old problem, but its very curent FRO me and SUPER frustrating.
    The indices of anyone?

    Hello Clement,

    Thanks much for the reply.
    I had already downloaded the Tuner card driver on the site yesterday and installed (this is the same version I already had, but he did not seem wrong to re - install).  No change.
    I really don't understand well enough codecs!  -are you making allusion to the East no doubt not that the encoding of the input signal software cannot do its job properly?  Are the part of the tuner driver codecs? I could not see them on the website of the tuner (http://www.newmagic.com.au/Support/Hauppauge_Vista_Drivers.html)
    Can you please point me in the right direction for the codec pack (btw, I though 'codec packs' were notoriously bad news! and since I recently made a new facility would be not all right codecs be there that they must have been before when everything worked well?)
    I have a chart integrated 'card' on the ASUS P5E - VM HDMI, an Intel GMA x 3500 and here too I have the latest driver from the Intel web site.
    I think I've found the "MS decoder checkup" utility you mention (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=DE1491AC-0AB6-4990-943D-627E6ADE9FCB&displaylang=en).  I have a Red Cross and green ticks for different decoders but 'Microsoft MPEG-2 Video' (msmpeg2vdec.dll.) decoder is compatible with MCE, but not with MP10.  When selected "update now" button is dimmed.
    Thanks again
  • Windows Media Center does not display my photos. I tried to re-setup my album and it shows my files but no pictures in them. I can see my photos in all viewers

    all my photos are in JPEG format, I download my photos on several websites and on my Windows live.com page, I also see with Windows Live Photo Gallery, I use Adobe Photoshop 7 to edit and save my pictures in .jpeg format, I can visualize in Picasa, PhotoStudio, ZoomBrowers EX etc.. I can spend my photos to one of my other computers and my pictures by e-mail, and they can be consulted. I open one of my photos in Photoshop and saved in a folder on my desktop in .jpeg and .bmp and it does not display. I sort my folder in date and make sure that hidden files is checked. I know I'm missing something, but still nothing.

    Hello
     
    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!
     
    How long have you had this problem?

    All files compatible photo in your library in Windows will appear in Media Center, including whatever it is stored in the folder my pictures or public photo. If you store images somewhere else, like an external hard drive, you can add them to the Media Center as well. To learn how, see Add files to media in Windows Media Center.

    The following is a list of reasons why an image will not display in Media Center, as well as suggestions for correcting the problem.

    • The picture file type is not supported in Media Center. For example, some digital camera photos are saved in the RAW file format, which is not supported in Media Center. If you have a photo editing software, try to open the picture in that program, and then resaving in a file type that is supported (for example, JPEG). To see what types of files are supported in Media Center, see file types supported by Windows Media Center.

    • The file is corrupted. If this is the case, try to open the image in another photo editing program, and then save it back into a different file type. For more information on the damaged files, see the files corrupted: frequently asked questions.

    • The file is hidden. You can view a hidden file by changing its properties in Windows. For more information, see Show hidden files.

  • "Windows Media Center cannot detect the IR control cables, which are necessary to control the set-top box. Fixing parts IR that supports the IR control cables and then try again. IR HARDWARE NOT FOUND ".

    Original title: when setting up Windows Media Center, I get the error message: "IR hardware not detected".

    I have an internal TV Tuner that has been installed by HP, when I bought recently a "computer build-your-own." (According to the control panel Device Manager, my tuner is a Win TV HVR 1290, made by Hauppauge). The computer came with Windows 7. While installing Windows Media Center, after setting up the TV Signal (on channel 3) I am able to see a video thumbnail on my computer screen. I am also able to change the channel using my remote control U-Verse (not the Windows remote control supplied with the computer). So far so good! I then hit next and get the following message: "Windows Media Center cannot detect the IR control cables, which are necessary to control the set-top box. Fixing parts IR that supports the IR control cables and then try again. IR HARDWARE NOT FOUND ".  After you receive this message, the installation procedure is completed. I called HP that support intalled the tuner. They had not the slightest idea what to do. I then called Hauppage customer (manufacturer of TV Tuner). They said that I need to plug one end of the IR Blaster cable that shipped with the computer in a slot in the back of my computer (they told me which slot). They said so to run the IR all the way cable to my cable box and the other end of the cable to my cable box of band. They said it was necessary to be able to use my Microsoft Remote to instruct the box to change channels (cable IR stuck on the box). I told her that I did not use the Microsoft Remote, I could change the channel with my U-verse remote (that I preferred to use anyway). He said that it took the cable on the band decoder in order to remove the error message and the installation of Windows Media Center. I then called U-Verse technical adapter who informed me of their set-top boxes (made by Cisco Systems) do not have the ability to receive signals IR IR Blaster cable (or any othe IR signal source). Microsoft is apparently not understand how U-Verse set-top boxes are designed to work and sells a product incompatible remote control/IR. My question is this: How do I set up Windows Media Center, in order to avoid getting the error message "IR hardware not detected" when you install Windows Media Center and just use the remote control of the U-Verse that I prefer to use in the first place. Once understand you this point, please send the information to HP, At & T U-Verse and others. Thank you.

    Ron, I have something for you!

    and for all the people who have this problem :)

    Hi, I had the time of IR not detected in Windows 7 Ultimate with a TV wonder 650 card and a box of digital adapter from Verizon for my PC... Go on the road to installation and after the Media Center channel search, choose manual configuration. Choose the aerial signal (I aso picked after this analog) l. After he sought more, he finds no channels.  Do not be afraid. Just accept it and go to the main settings page in the Mediacenter. If I remember correctly, then select TV Guide. Choose Add channel. I added the channel 3.

    Since my Verizon box has no IR for the computer, I added the channel 3 for the media Center and I change the channels with my Verizon remote. All my stations in the Verizon box go to Channel 3.

    The story here is so, for some reason any Windows detects that only my box channel signal TV and you must manually configure the media center on the air, then go to settings and add the channel you want in the guide.

    Why the guide TV control which channel you can tune is beyond me, but the scanner locks all channels, it does not detect. they must be added manually in the guide.

    My TV works and looks okay now.

    It actually works!

    the only problem is that it is not in HD

    but there is something
