Is there a setting from command line for Windows Media Player?

Could someone tell me please in the right direction for a set of command line for wmplayer settings?
I use... .Wmplayer /play /playlist pA.wpl as an automatic start and play line RUN.
Player starts and displays a list of PA on the screen but does not play.
If I use... .Wmplayer /play /C:\name.mp3 then, it works very well.
Thank you
Brian Taylor

First of all, /play is not a supported parameter, and you should not put a slash in front of the file names.

To launch WMP and let him play a playlist, simply specify the name of the file to the playlist on the command line, for example:

Wmplayer PA.wpl

The /playlist parameter is only for play playlists that are in the library and does not have a file name of playlist, but the * name * of the playlist in the library, without extension or directories.

  • 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.

    Sincerely,

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Transfer of visualizations for Windows Media Player 12

    I have two computers. My office is a Windows XP Home Edition and my laptop is a Windows 7 Professional edition. I was wondering if it is possible to somehow get the visualizations of my Windows XP Media Player 9 converted to work on my Windows 7 Media Player 12.

    Where it is simply not possible or too much work in the long term, I was always curious why Plenoptic visualizations have been abandoned by the time released Windows Media Player 11. Microsoft or someone else would be able to do these visualizations to be reused?

    Hi Br4nd0nW,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Windows answers Forum community!

    Plenoptic was not entirely compatible with Media Player v12 and all non compatible
    visualizations have been removed. Those who have tried to install this file from
    Media player v9 did not have much luck.

    You can see these links for help:

    You can get most visualizations on the following Web site. Visualizations for Windows Media Player: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/visualizations.aspx

    Hope this information helped!
