• Media Center: Will not add folders to the library

  For about a week now through yesterday morning, I had several video files put in place in Media Center: specifically, two folders on local and network disks several (five or six) on records.

  Last night, I went to the video library in Media Center, and it was completely empty. Records and all video files are always accessible through the browser and the network as needed, so I go to Media Center and re-add the same folders. Return to the video library. It is empty. I will go back to the library settings and all defined records are previously selected is no longer! So I go through and add them back. Only to make them all disappear.

  I do this several times, including the second to the last test where I waited in circles and looked at the gauge progress and a total number of 300 + video files displayed. But the library is still empty and not setup all files as added!

  So my last try: I remove all other music and image files and add just a video file. And still no videos!

  I already rebooted once and now I am at a complete loss as to what could be the problem. The files are a mix of .avi (xvid, for the most part), .mkv and .ts who worked before this question last night.

  I said that I should leave the Media Centre, stop the windows media player network service, and then remove windows media player db file. I did all this, restarted the service and then media center, added a video file and guess what? Still no file (or folder) in my Media Center video library.

  What is happening here!

  Edited to add:

  Well, I did a few experiences more.

  In Windows Media PLAYER, I wasn't able to add folder to library video (via organize) it is. However, I was able to add folders to the library in Windows Explorer. I could then drag and drop the Windows Explorer video library in WMP. However, none of this has changed the fact that the video library in Media Center remains empty and I can not add ALL the video files via the parameters.

  In the meantime, I have two choices, I can browse my multimedia files via WMP which is not half bad but I prefer reading via Media Center. so... currently, I navigate through Explorer Windows and Media Center set as default player for all types of video file in the video library of the Explorer.

  However, I would really like this work all through (some) Media Center :)

  I wonder if there might be a corruption of the current library which is not resolved by simply removing the CurrentDatabase_ # .wmdb as suggested earlier.  You see the question even if you plan to display this content in Windows Media Player as well?  If so, in Windows 7, there is an option to rebuild the library.  This is done through Windows Media Player tools > advanced > restore library... menu (an open area along the top or bottom of the drive to find this right click menu).

• New Media Converter will not install

  Right, so I used Sansa Updater to download the last Media Converter... But when I try to unzip it by clicking on the "Sansa Media Converter" icon under all programs-> Sandisk-Sansa Updater > he ask to free me 105,63 MB on my C:\ drive and click 'Retry '. I have about 20 GB free on my C:, lack of space certainly isn't the problem. Anyone else having the same problem? The recommended solutions?

  Solved. All I had to do was unplug the "rocket", and the converter continued to install without any problem. This is something which should be mentioned in the installation instructions onscreen I think.

• Windows Media Center will not play my video/DVD

  I tried to play a video/DVD on my laptop and got this error:

  "Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with the digital copy between your DVD player and the video card protection decoder. Try to install a driver available for your video card.

  I went to the Device Manager in the control panel and everything was listed as up-to-date and working properly.  What should I do?

  Hello

  Thank you for contacting Microsoft Answers.

  It is obvious that the DVD is protected against copying. Therefore, you cannot copy the contents of the disc. But to read the DVD, you need a suitable decoder. If it is missing/corrupt/out of date, you may need to install the most recent.

  Have you installed the readers of third party DVD like PowerDVD, WinDVD, etc.. ? If so, it should work.

  2. What is the format of the videos that you try to play?

  3. are you able to play other files with Windows Media Player?

  Media Player will not be able to play video files, if there are no required codecs or video format is not supported by Media Player.

  I suggest you to check the format of the video you are trying to play. You can also try the steps in the article to resolve this problem:

  Hi Sam,

  Thanks for the reply.

  You might face this problem because of the flash drive corruption, that's why I suggest to uninstall and reinstall once and check. You can uninstall the Flash player using uninstaller from the link below.

  Flash Player Help / uninstall Flash Player | Windows

  http://helpx.Adobe.com/Flash-Player/KB/uninstall-Flash-Player-Windows.html

  Once you have successfully uninstalled Flash Player you can download and install a new version of Flash Player from the link below.

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  Hello

  1. could you give me the exact error that you are experiencing?

  The video codec required to decode and display the video can not be installed on your computer. For example, if you try to read a file that has been encoded using the DivX video codec and you do not have this codec installed on your computer, you will probably hear the audio portion of the file, but you will not see the video.

  Similarly, if you try to read a file that has been encoded using the MPEG-2 video codec and you do not have a compatible MPEG-2 decoder (also called a DVD decoder) installed on your computer, you may see an error message or encounter other problems of reading.

  For more information on finding and downloading codecs, see Codecs: frequently asked questions. For more information about installing an MPEG-2 decoder on your computer, go to theWeb page of DVD plug-in decoder.

  I hope this helps.

  Thank you, and in what concerns:

• Windows media player will not play my downloaded movies.

  Original title: windows media player will not play my downloaded movies, so I know very lil on computers! Please help me!

  I have LimeWire. I downloaded several movies and can't watch them. When I try, it automatically showed the windows media player, and then displays a message saying "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 looked for updates, perhaps thinking that I needed one, he says: there is no availiavle. I use the latest version of windows media player. any help would be greatly appreciated!

  It's really a simple question, easy to fix. But if you are really not that familiar with the computer, you may want to ask a friend who knows enough to help you.

  You can show it to your friend...
  What you need is to 'google' for a FREE video converter.
  Use the converter and changge movies in WMV file formats. (Sticking with the formats WMV, nothing else).
  Once the conversion is complete, you can play these movies in your Media Player.

  However, there is another alternative. Install a 3rd party media player called VLC. He plays any video fromats.
  Here is the download link:

• Windows Media Player will not play a. MOV file

  I have a new Dell laptop with Windows 7 Professional and Windows Media Player will not play a '. MOV' video file completely (the video but not sound). I am told by Microsoft Windows Media Player will not play a MOV file, and I need Codec VLC add on or another player who will play MOV file. What is the best solution and if its for download a Codec VLC, then what is the best source?

  Guess why?  [ :-) ]

  Types of files supported by Windows Media Player:
  https://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992

  Which was probably that there was a lack of understanding between the container file and the codec here (in November 2013).  He says he's a "MOV" does not mean that he plays with the same codecs as all other MOV files.  ;-)

  It is perhaps a better place to read up on this:

• PC Win7 will not add the mp4 files to the iTunes library

  iTunes will not add .mp4 movies at the library on PC Win7 (v.12.3.1.23).  Movie exact same .mp4 files are able to add in my iMac running iTunes 12, someone else has experienced this problem?

  In some cases with 64-bit systems, you may need to install the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for older video cards) and QuickTime to enable iTunes work with videos. 32-bit users must install QuickTime.
