• Media Center and WMP 12 does not not my MP3 files, two strange errors

  Hi all

  I am running Windows 7-64 bit. I have set up my Media Center and the folder where are all my songs. Then, I used the Media Center Extender to connect to my xbox. I went on the xbox and liked my music through my sound system.

  Now, when I try to listen to my music on my computer Media Center or WMP 12, I get the following errors:

  Media Center: the file you are trying to play (insert file path) is either corrupted missing or in a place that is currently not available

  WMP12: Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file.

  I can play my music on my PC with the help of another player as my Rhapsody Player. It seems to me that Media Center and WMP 12 does not like to play my .mp3

  I'm leaning towards a problem with a codec, but how you updated codecs on WMP 12 and Media Center?

  Or everyone does not think that there is another type of problem?

  Good people. I figured this out, and I hope this will help some of you. I have his next card: Creative Labs Audigy 2 ZS

  I went to control panel > Sound > playback > speakers

  I went to the Advanced Settings tab and unchecked Audio enhancements allow

  WMP12 restarted, a popup told me that there was an error with a plugin and disabled the plugin, and soon I was dancing on top of my desk.

  I found the information at the bottom of this thread:

• How do you play dubbed audio or subtitles in Windows Media Center Extender (Xbox 360)?

  I know how to turn subtitles on my Windows Media Center PC, but there is no option to select audio dubbed or subtitled when you use Windows Media Center Extender. All my video files contain subtitles and audio dubbed foreign films.  My wife loves Spanish subtitles, because she has trouble understanding some English films.  I searched some forums and there are questions there but they have no definitive answers.  How a company billions of dollars developing a Media Center and leave out or miss crucial features like these? Please do not react with the thread on how to activate subtitles in TV Mode. Which does not apply to this question. The key word is EXTENDERS.

  Hi AnthonyWilson5

  Subtitles should be coded in the movie view. These subtitles are automatically playing with video files. If the subtitles are a separate .srt file, then you will not be able to visualize everything by watching a video on the 360. There is no real turn option ON or OFF for subtitle in the Xbox 360.

  But for more information you can even try to contact the expert Microsoft Xbox 360 team. Please visit the links below to find a community that will support what ask you in the right direction for Xbox 360.

  I hope this helps.

  Hello texanbelle,

  Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forum.

  I am including instructions below a scan to help repair the system files related to some components of Windows, including Windows Media Center, and Windows Media Player.

  Repair Windows Vista Media Center files

  You can use the following steps to repair files that are part of Windows Vista Media Center:

  1. click on the Start menu, choose all programs, then Accessories, then right-click on the item to the command prompt and select run as administrator

  2. click on continue to allow it to open a prompt with administrator privileges

  3. run this command in the cmd prompt: sfc/scannow

  4. the cmd prompt should list text stating "start system analysis. This process will take time. »

  5. wait for the scan to complete (this may take several minutes, so be patient).  This command will scan all protected system files and attempt to replace the incorrect versions by appropriate Microsoft versions

  6. once the analysis is complete, the SFC tool will indicate whether or not it found no problems and whether or not he was able to correct

  7. If any errors are reported that SFC could not resolve, there are steps in this knowledge base article which explain how to locate and attempt to correct errors

  8. after fixing errors that are found, try to use Windows Vista Media Center again.

  Fix Windows Vista Media Center registry entries

  Unfortunately, there is no easy way to fix key/registry values that are installed by Windows Vista, as there are files.  If you want to try to repair the registry values/keys that are part of Windows Vista Media Center, you will need to re-run the installer of Windows Vista operating system and repair the operating system.

• Unable to sync music using Windows Media Center and Windows Media Player will not open

  Media Center will not sync music!

  I recently opened Media Center and I had no music in the library. I have constantly played music from the library so I didn't know what is happening. When I try installing the library again once it tells me that a necessary component for Windows Media Center is not available. I have not changed or downloaded something different. I went to check if Windows media Player is the multimedia file sharing. The message I get from that is, basically, that something is missing.  Now my Windows Media Player is not even opened. I wonder if my Zune Player (80 GB) has nothing to do with the problem. I charge my player when this has happened, but I do this all the time so I am at a loss. I went to the page "problem reports and Solution." It is the symbol of the Media Center window and says that the problem is caused by Windows. The solution is to update to windows; which I am fully updated. I tried to restore the system to an earlier date, but that doesn't work anymore. I'm at a loss to know what being of any help would be appreciated.

  As a side note video playback, TV and photos also works very well in Media Center.

  Thank you

  Shay

• Media Center and ATI TV Wonder 600 PCI

  I installed an ATI TV Wonder 600 PCI card in Vista Home Prem 32-bit edition.  I installed the latest 01/10 ATI drivers.  While setting up Windows Media Center, said the card is not supported in this area (Canada).  It's funny, I bought it in Vancouver.  I ran the configuration by ATI Catalyst TV program and it worked.  I went back into the Media Center and he accepted the Canada as a regional parameter is valid.  Media Center worked for 2 days, buy yesterday I went to watch TV and could not find my TV tuner card.  Restarted my computer (cold start) and he finds the TV card but I had to re-run the installation program, I don't know why.  Now, it is said the Canada is not a region supported by this map.  It works in catalyst program (terrible picture and sound) and it works in Nero Live.  Why not in Media Center (the best quality of image and sound)?  My regional settings are set to Canada, what is happening?

  ISII:

  What is a hybrid tuner, and if so, you are trying to configure it to ATSC (digital terrestrial) or QAM (unencrypted digital cable)? Unfortunately, Windows Media Center does not support ATSC or QAM tuning to the Canada. This isn't as far as I know, for technical reasons, which is why the tuner can work in the third-party software, but not Microsoft.

  You're not entirely out of luck. I suggest you read the Peter's blog about thegreenbutton.com. Peter wrote at length on this subject, and you are likely to find help with your tuner here too: http://thegreenbutton.com/blogs/pnear/archive/2006/11/22/202706.aspx

• Vista Media Center and my Xbox 360 extender connection

  Hi I have a problem connecting my xbox 360 and my windows vista media center. Everytime I try I get the message saying that it can't find the range extender and suggests that it is one of the following three things

  (1) the Extender is turned on and connected to the network

  It's on and it appears as an icon of the xbox 360 in my network on the vista machine and can connect to the internet, so I guess the network very well.

  (2) that the code is correct

  It's that I checked it about 30 or twice now.

  (3) UPnP does not work properly

  I guess that's the problem but cannot figure out how to solve. I have a BT Homehub router. I've implemented through active UPnp. I even tried to disable the firewall completely on it and on vista, it made no difference to the port forwarding doesn't seem to be the answer.

  Help please it is one of the main reasons I got an xbox 360 and vista

• Video error stream TV to a Media Center extender (XBOX 360)

  Hello

  I have a PC that I use to record TV, which is accessible by several XBOX 360 through Media center.

  This configuration was working perfectly until a few days ago. At the same time, all 3 Xbox has ceased to be able to view the recorded TV programs, or view the Live TV feed. The Media center PC was the victim of a power cut at the time, but seems to work fine.

  1 TV live view on media Center PC (CMCP) - works correctly

  2. play Recorded TV on MCPC - works

  3. the screen live TV on xbox - video error

  4. play Recorded TV on xbox - video error

  5 video game file imported into Media center via Photos and video Media Center on the Xbox article - works

  6 connect the Xbox to another PC, which has also the Media Center on it and play recorded TV program - works

  So far I have tried:

  1 restart both MCPC and Xbox.

  2 remove the Media Center of the Xbox and reconnect to it.

  3. a new analysis of the signal to re - acquire all channels,

  4 using the Windows update to update the video card drivers.

  I am reasonably certain that the problem lies in the CMCP, but I'm not sure how to do this by how solve this problem. I have a large amount of data on the machine, so reinstalling is not really an option. AFAIK, new programs recording occurs correctly.

  All the drivers, applications, and the windows themselves are fully updated.   The error on the machine logs show no relevant error.  The operating system is Windows Vista Ultimate, 64-bit, service pack 2.  Here is a link to the power out of the msinfo32.exe execution on the server.

  Yes, it is possible to other files or even your user profile have been corrupted.
  Setting up a new user profile would exclude corruption in your existing username

  Hi LeprechaunBooty,

  I suggest you to visit the links below and check if it helps.

• Windows 7, Windows Media Center and the library of music/photos/videos folders

  I like the 'Libraries' feature in Windows 7.

  You know the one - one which includes "Public Images" and "My pictures" and what I want in a single 'Photos' folder in Explorer.

  However, it looks like Windows Media Center is tired directly according to the definitions in the library of my user id.

  If I remove 'My pictures' library of Windows Media Center, or even from my XBox 350 Media Center Extender in the living room.  It removes a library of images for my UserID on the PC.

  It's embarrassing. Because, in general, I want only the media center to search for media in public folders. But when records navigation using windows Explorer that I want to see too well 'My' and 'Public' files aggregated in libraries as usual.

  To sum up: how to configure Media Center to analyze only the public folders without changing the definitions of on my PC library to contain only public folders?

  If this can be done - can I at least do so the Extender sees only public folders and not mine, once it is configured? (I figured out how to do this, but it's a pain - add a new user name to the computer - configure the Extender by using that user - and then the extender will see not all documents under MY personal login at least.)

  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  I am sorry to say that there are no options to make the changes you need. Scans of Media Center places appears, at this point, is by design.

  Kind regards.

• Set up Media Center using Xbox 360 as Extender fails - HELP!

  I use Windows 7 64 b Assus laptop and the new version of the Xbox 360 as a media center extender on a network home wifi elapse a router Linksys E4200.  I have Norton Internet Security (v18.6.0.29) and the standard Windows Firewall on my laptop.  I have configure manually all ports right on the Norton firewall as described in the Article ID: 911728 - last review: February 16, 2010 - revision: 6.0 entitled "Firewall Ports that must be open to use your Xbox 360 as a Media Center Extender.  I get throughout the series until the last step.  Both the Xbox and the laptop appear to expire and I get an error message on the xBox that says:

  COMPLETED CONNECTION: "the Xbox 360 has been disconnected from the PC Media Center.  For technical support, visit Microsoft Support at http://support.microsoft.com".

  If I do nothing, the Xbox will attempt to restart the connection three times until I'm finally getting a message that says:

  "Xbox 360 could not connect to the Windows Media Center computer. Turn on your Xbox 360 console off and then on again and try to connect again"

  I did this several times without success. I also disabled my firewall from Norton and my Windows Firewall but still no further.  The Media Center on the laptop says it is installed and ready to use and I do not see my laptop under video library on the Xbox, but when I choose what it I get an error message that says:

  "Unable to connect. Make sure that you have activated this console on your computer.

  I copied the last entries in the log events below that shows the last attempt I made to configure the Extender. You will see a newspaper where the Extender and successfully it implements and then several error messages that I can't understand.

  The last five entries are exactly the same as above.  During this attempt, I had turned on the Firewall Norton back after that defining carefully all the rules required by the above mentioned article.  The results are the same if I have the active firewall or disabled - just says error message the connection has expired when the firewall is disabled.

  I hope someone can help me with this - I have spent all day trying to solve this and I'm at the end of my rope.

  OK, so I spent all morning pour on my router configs without success and then realized that my drive mapping had stopped working when I updated to my current router E4200.  So I double checked all configs in Windows file sharing and realized that I had activated password sharing which prevented the player sharing between my laptop and my laptop children without creating the same user accounts on each box.  Who sets and I was able to get my shared drives. Then I pulled upward to Media Center again and got exactly the same answer as before.  I thought I was really puzzled but thought I would try and open shared files, I could see on my Xbox AND THIS TIME IT WORKED!  It must have been the password of sharing that prevented the connections between the Media Center on my laptop and Xbox and he disguised himself as a firewall or setting a timeout problem that led me down the wrong path.

  Thanks for the suggestion check the router settings.  I would not have thought to double check my disk sharing settings otherwise.
