Media Player 11 plays a video streaming to left side but can not display the overview

I have Windows XP and have Windows Media Player 11 for quite awhile with no problems at all. Suddenly, my player goes immediately to the toolbar on the left tray low down. He reads the stream or the video, I can hear it but I can't optimize the image using the right click.  I deleted my 11 Windows and re-installed but nothing... Could you help out me? Thanks to you all

Hi Evantha,

I'm sorry to hear that you are facing this problem with the computer. I will do my best to get the problem solved. However, before I'll have to ask troubleshooting questions.

1. When was the last time that the player was working fine?

2. How did you remove Windows Media player?

3. are you aware of any recent software or the hardware in the computer changes?

You can go through the article and check if it helps. Here is another article with more information about the player.

You can also go through this article and check if it helps. If the problem persists you can Uninstall and then reinstall the drive and check.

Hope this helps and provide us more information if you need more assistance. We will be happy to help you.

    Hi bbdunford,

    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.

     

    You may encounter this error message for the following reasons:

    (a) the file type is supported by the drive, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the player.

    (b) 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.

    Windows media player will play only the files and videos only if it supports this type of file.

    Method 1

    Check if the video file format is supported by Windows media player using the link below.

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

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992

    If the files are not supported by Windows media player, then you will need to use a few players from third party that supports this file format.

    Method 2

  • My recently downloaded Windows Media Player 11 play dvd, audio cd and cd rom, but will not recognize two photos of the dvd which have been able to acknowledge by Media Player 10 and record of the Explorer Windows-with some difficulty

    1. Windows Media Player 10 has opened a photo successfully dvd but a message "Microsoft has encountered a problem and needs to close" came on the screen several times.  Had to re insert the dvd picture, but it would open again each time.
    2. Tried the cd drivers and troubleshooting dvd and was informed of my dvd could not be played because there was no decoder for dvd.  Following instructions and chose a windows xp approved decoder pack download - dvd has chosen the Roxio CinePlayer DVD Decoder Pack.
    3. Then upgraded the media player to Windows Media Player 11.
    4. After that, dvd and cd rom could be opened by the media player 11, but neither the DVD or cd ROM readers would recognize the photo DVD in question had been inserted into one of these discs, and even less to be opened by the media player.
    5. Program scanner and photo used to transfer my photos printed digitally on a dvd are trademarks of Hewlett-Packard.  Contact the center of the photo, but they could not provide me with any guidance or even particular HP photo program they used to create the dvd picture.  I remember the photos were stored on the dvd in JPEG format picture and was able to open by Windows Explorer before I've updated since WMP 10-11.

    "" I remember well, the pictures are stored on the dvd in JPEG format picture and was able to open by Windows Explorer before I've updated since WMP 10-11 ""

    Looks like you have a data dvd, which has just the pictures on it and it will not be seen by WMP, who needs a dvd-video disc.

    It should always open in windows Explorer and you should be able to see your pictues it.

  • Windows Media Player Auto played a video without being in the media library, possible?

    I recently opened up windows media player and clicked on play a bit before he had fully charged it, thinking I would play my mp3 library, rather a * video looked to play. I couldn't find the video anywhere on my hard drive. (also * is not seen nor this computer I used, is often used on the internet, it's a family computer) Pourrait that happen to watch a video in my browser on netflix streaming and a wmv file that is attached to the back of the video streaming? Anyway, I have no idea why she would automatically play and not be in the library windows media anywhere. Is this always already arrived to someone else? Thank you!!

    Someone visited questionable sites by the sounds of it.

    Ppersonally I would clean my computer by running my anti virus and especially a malware program such as MalwareBytes.

    Clean the browser cache and cookies to complete sanitation and history.

    Use Ccleaner for that either clean up the history of WMP.

  • Can Windows Media Player XP play MTS file type? I tried, but the video does not play smoothly. Is this fix really?

    I tried, but the video does not play smoothly.  Is this fix really?

    There is a possibility that Windows Media Player could
    read the file if you rename the MTS to MPG or AVI.

    And/or...the suite of freeware Media Player can be
    worth a try.

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    Media Player Classic Home Cinema
    http://MajorGeeks.com/Media_Player_Classic_Home_Cinema_d6213.html
    (works on XP/Vista/7)
    (The name of the file to download is: "MPC - HomeCinema.1.5.2.3456.x 86 .exe ')

    If this fails, it may be worth trying to convert the MTS file
    WMV format:

    There are many converters available on the net... some
    free... some detail.

    The following freeware converters are a few examples:

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    (1) Sothink Free Video Converter
    http://www.Sothinkmedia.com/video-converter/
    (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

    You will need to unzip the file... or you could just drag
    the Setup.exe from the file out of the folder and drop it on your
    desktop and install from there.

    Once installed... Open Sothink and go to... Add the files button...
    Find and select the clips you want to convert.

    Next... in the encoding settings... Choose... Video credits.
    WMV - Windows Media Video (*.wmv).

    Choose an output folder and on the left, click on the button convert.

    You can experiment with other settings later but
    This should help you get started.

    (2) format Factory (freeware)
    http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Format_Factory
    (the 'direct link' is faster)
    (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup270.zip<>
    (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
    ('all' boxes on the last screen)
    (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

    First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
    Drag FFSetup270.exe out of the folder
    and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.

    Next, after the download and installation of Format

    "Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.

    Drag and drop your video clips on the main screen...

    Select "all to WMV" / OK...

    Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

    That should do it...

  • Message from Windows XP: Windows Media Player cannot play a DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer__

    Our computer working again after installing a new hard drive and reinstall all Windows XP Home edition software from disks under Windows license, I got with the computer again.

    Why did I have a decoder of media player before the crash, but not now? Before the accident, I had not bought any software DVD player or downloaded any free DVD playback software, it was on new Dell computer.

    Windows xp does not come standard with a dvd decoder, so it must be installed. This would have been done by Dell when you purchased if you say that you did not.

    You have all the disks in Dell? If so, get through them dvd playing software, common are windvd or powerdvd.

  • Disable auto playback but do not display the big Play button in the Middle

    I have autoplay disabled in Edit-> Preferences-> project-> Start and End (unchecked all keys here). But I don't know how to get rid of the big button with the Play arrow, which is now displayed on the top of the blade up to that someone clicks on it. In addition, the slide is dimmed, although I unchecked fade in and out. It is probably dimmed to indicate that it stops.

    Maybe there is a way to change this behavior? I would like to display the slide as if it were a picture, and if someone wants to hear the narration, he must click the small play button in the toolbar. If this isn't the case, then it can just look at the photo.

    I think this should do it: the slide must be autoplayed, but then stopped after 1 millisecond, so nobody notices who played. But how? Or maybe it is possible, to somehow get rid of the Play button in the Middle, and prevent the image being mitigated, then the presentation isn't autoplayed.

    Hello

    What you need to do is turn ON autoplay. Then insert a box click on your first slide object to keep it paused until your user clicks.

  • Why my windows media player stops playing a video clip when I drag her to a second monitor?

    I have tried to read a video on a second monitor by using the operation drag and drop method. But every time I do the video stops working (even if the sound isn't yet). Is there a download that will allow me to play the video?

    Video takes a lot of memory in the computer to manage, sound does not need as much memory and that's why you will always hear.  Did you check to see that you still have a lot of space memory hard drive?  What are the specifications of your computer compared to what you need to run Media?  Before drag you it to another monitor, it works ok?  You may need to increase the speed of your computer, if not live without doing this operation.

  • Windows media player11.error windows media player cannot play dittos theplayer might not support the file type or might not support the codec used to compress the file

    • y at - it software that could help me.which will work with my Media Player to convert almost any format or find the good codec.so I can watch my videos, I have downloaded on my documents.there need some software out there that would do this work.so my media player 11 play my videos.

    Hi Bbdunford,

    O what is the file format?

    O if it works well before?

    Today, there are hundreds of audio and video codecs in use. Some were created by Microsoft, but the vast majority of codecs have been created by other companies, organizations or individuals. By default, the Windows operating system and the player includes a number of the most popular codecs, such as MP3, Windows Media Audio and Windows Media Video.

    There might be times, however, when you want to read the content that is compressed with a codec that does not include Windows or the default player. In many cases, you can download the necessary codec on the web for free or for a fee. And, in some cases, the player can automatically use the codecs installed by other reading programs and the creation of digital media on your computer.

    You may encounter this error message for the following reasons:

    1. the file type is supported by the drive, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the player.

    2 - 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.

    You can try the steps and check if it makes a difference.

    1. in order to determine what codec was used with a specific file, play the file in the player, if possible. When the file is playing, right-click the file in the library, and then click Properties. On the file tab, look at the sections of video codec and Audio codec.

    2 download and install Codecs by clicking on the PLAYER tab and check. To connect to the Internet and automatically download Codecs player

    3. configure the protocol settings

    On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Network tab.

    In the Streaming protocols area, select all the check boxes Protocol.

    When connecting to a server running Windows Media Services, Windows Media Player tries to use all selected protocols.
