  • my media player has suddenly two or three copies of all my songs and videos

    Title original: Media Player

    all of a sudden, my media player has two or three copies of all my songs and videos and even the media player files, as its brightness and contrast tutorial videos. Help.

    Hello

    To delete duplicate entries, click on another feature tab in the drive (for example the current playback), and then click library.

    If it eliminates the duplicate of your library entries, you can right click on the music file and click 'open file location '. To check if the location of the file is the same or different. This will let us know if there are entries in double or not.

    If only a small number of duplicate entries exist, you can delete those invalid manually by double-clicking the invalid entry and then clicking on delete.

    If you have a large number of entries in doubles in your library (or if your library is duplicated), it might be better to create a new library.

    Method 1: To resolve this problem, clear theWindows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:

    a. exit Windows Media Player.

    b. for Windows 7: click Start, run, %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player and then click on OK.

    c. Select all files in the folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

    Note: You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

    d. restart Windows Media Player.

    Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

    Method 2: If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

    a. exit Windows Media Player.

    b. If you run Windows 7, click Start, run, % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, and then click OK.

    c. Select the folder Media Playerand then clickdelete on the file menu.

    d. restart Windows Media Player.

    Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

    The Windows Media Player library: frequently asked questions

    Method 3: How can I prevent double or invalid entries to be added to my library when I play music files?

    When you move digital media files on your computer, the file name and file path information remain unchanged in your library. Then when you select a file to play to its new location, a new entry is created in your library if you select the option automatically added to your library when played. As a result, your library can quickly contain a large number of entries, duplicate or invalid.

    To prevent it be automatically added to your library of music files

    a. in Windows Media Player, on the Tools menu, click on Options.

    b. on the Player tab, clear music to add to the library when played check box.

    Now, when you play music on your computer or the Internet, the file will not be added automatically to your library.

    Hello goatman42749,

    ·         You have media files stored on multiple sites?

    ·         Since when are files duplicated in Media Player is due to recent changes to the media?

    Here's what you can try:

    1. start Windows Media Player.

    2. press F3 on your keyboard to open the add to the library of the find computers dialog box.

    3. click on the Browse button to locate the file on your computer so that your library contains invalid entries. Specify the location of the folder in the box look in.

    If you are not sure what duplicate in your library entry is not valid, you can add a path column to display your library by following the instructions in the last question. Specify the folder on your computer that matches the path invalid file displayed in your library.

    1. click on the search button.

    If only a small number of duplicate entries exist, you can delete those invalid manually by double-clicking the invalid entry and then clicking on delete.

    If you have a large number of entries in doubles in your library (or if your library is duplicated), it might be better to create a new library

    Here's how you can create the media library:

    1. close Windows Media Player.

    2. Locate the database on the computer that contains the entries of your library. In general, the library database file (CurrentDatabase_219.wmdb) is located in the following directory:

    directories SystemDrive\Documents and Settings\nom_utilisateur\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Player

    3. right click on the file and then click Rename.

    4. rename the file by changing its file .bak extension.

    5 start the player. When you do so, a new database of library file is created.

    6. press F3 on your keyboard to open the add to the library of the find computers dialog box.

    7. click the Browse button to search for a folder on your computer that contains digital media files. Specify the location of the folder in the box look in.

    8. click on the search button.

    The player will search for digital media files and playlists in the folder you specify and add to your library. If you have your files and playlists stored in different folders on your computer, you may need to search for files several times, by specifying a different folder every time.

    Avoid duplicate music files to avoind the music automatically added. To prevent music files to be automatically added to your library:

    1. in Windows Media Player, on the Tools menu, click Options.

    2. on the Player tab, clear the files of music to add to the library when played check box.

    Now, when you play music on your computer or the Internet, the file will not be added automatically to your library.

  • Error in Windows Media Player, Windows Media Player is not installed correctly and must be reinstalled. You want to install the Player from the Microsoft Website

    I don't know how or why it happened, but one day to another, WMP won't open. I tried to open an MP3 file, and he says that WMP has not been correctly configured "Windows Media Player is not installed correctly and must be reinstalled. Do you want to install the player from the Microsoft Website? ».

    I assumed that since I had to make some updates yesterday, that he was at fault, it had installed an update/new version of WMP and it was either buggy or doesn't work do not, so I went to the Windows updates, but no recent updates on the list had a remote connection with Windows Media Player.

    So, I accept the first proposal of the error message, and I'm headed to the Windows Media Player download page on the Microsoft Website. However, the version I should install (which was the one I already had) has Windows Media Player 12 for Windows 7. But this option is locked for me, and as I tried to install it, it says it is not compatible with my system. Not to mention, it's a whole package and not just the WMP installation.

    I tried everything and nothing seems to work. It won't even let me uninstall WMP because it won't let me open.

    My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. And the error messages that I get to try to launch any WMP feature (the tool, the installation program, no matter what), opens an error window stating that "there is a more recent version of Windows Media (12.0.7601.18150) player already installed on your computer. It is not possible to use and more old (12.0.7601.17514) installation package to install files or repair your current version of the reader. »

    Please, I ask for any intervention in this case.

    This arises from time to time, but I don't think that there is a difficulty of 100%.

    You can try (in no particular order)

    1. uninstall, reboot, reinstall WMP- http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/26107/how-to-reinstall-windows-media-player-in-windows-7-to-solve-problems/ if that doesn't help, try a SFC/scannow check - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833
    2. There is this diagnostic tool - http://support2.microsoft.com/mats/windows_media_player_diagnostic/ that can help (from http://support2.microsoft.com/fixit/en-us?wa=wsignin1.0 )
    3. You could try a system restore to a date before the problem occurred to see if that helps - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/system-restore-faq#1TC=windows-7 and see if it gets a WMP work back
    4. Last resort, a repair install - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html
    5. Or just simply forget about WMP and try another party 3rd multimedia player that you can install and uninstall at will, as free VLC - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

    But it may be worth waiting a while to see if someone else has a better solution.
