Media player library automatically updated of the .mp4 files

My Media Player library auto-updates to update when new files are downloaded / place in my target files, except files with the extensions .mp4.  When the reader is closed and reopened, low right corner says this Media Player updates the library and never - failing all the .mp4 files.

These files require me to go in the management of libraries and to delete the shared folder, and then re - ad, which becomes tedious with so many files.  Is there a way to fix this?
Thank you!

  • Media Player Library question after the drive letters changed - Solution found

    I wanted to share a solution to a problem that I found and after searching on Google, I found no answer.  But after some perseverance I managed to fix it myself.

    I installed Win 7 & got to read all of my media files in WMP12, no problem.  However, I changed the drive letters on drives where my video, music and photo files were required, then lost all the details of the library.

    I thought I could rebuild the media player library by updating the files included in the relevant libraries, but it did not work.  I tried various other corrections posted (mainly by deleting all files in WMP library so he could rebuild), but without success.  What I found worked was:

    Close WMP and Media Center
    Remove all the libraries (music, pictures, video) file paths, so no files have been included.
    Run Regedit
    Search for all references to the old drive letter paths & modify registry data show new car path (for example, my music was on E:\My music, after assigning new drive letter, as it's on the music of H:\My, so I searched for all instances of music E:\My replace E) : by: :)
    Restarted
    A run WMP
    Added the new path of the folder in the library
    Hey presto, he began to rebuild the music library!

    Hope this helps someone else that I spent several hours of frustration of trying to understand this one!

    Thank you. A few trips to REGEDIT and I finally found him. There were two places «...» Of the Shell folders' and '... User Shell Folders ". After making sure that both had updated letters my multimedia files are fluid in. Thanks again!

  • Windows 7 Media Player will not update files and allow me to remove the old files of the library.

    I've been deleting old audio/video files on my computer that also appear in the media player library but when I remove it from the library, it won't let me, but it gives me the options and it will show a pop window of the process he goes through to remove these old library files, but nothing to really occurs because the files remain in the library.

    (I guess that Afzal post ended up somehow in the wrong thread).

    To get rid of the old songs and videos in the library, you probably need to reset the media library. Note firstly reset the library will make you lose all play counts and ratings too. Then, follow these steps:

    -Restart the PC.
    -Click Start, type services.msc in the search field and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service . If its status is started , double-click the service, and then click stop .
    -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
    -In this folder, rename the folder Media Player as Old Media Player . If you do not see the folder, then it is probably hidden. Set Explorer to view the hidden files and folders and show protected system files.
    -Launch WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt.

I noticed if you click file, and then manage libraries, and then the music lets me add my Ext. harddrive (e drive) to the library list. on a computer it support of new music and videos found on the hard drive, on two computers it just music, so I downloaded a song and a video on the hard drive, plugged into the computer and media player says that it has been updated of library, and yet there they never found the new files. Why have they changed? XP was so easy. new is not always better!

  • Songs do not appear in the Windows Media Player library

    WIndows Media Player 12 adding not songs

    I got my new PC with Windows 7 this afternoon and more than 10,000 songs completely copied into the My Music folder.  None of these songs will appear in the library of Windows Media Player 12 songs. My Music folder is one of the libraries of WMP to default save location.  Only 3 songs are appearing in the library, and those are the three on the Public Music folder.  Yet when I add a song to the public music folder, it is added to the library. Then when I close WMP, and re - open, we are back to 3 original songs!  I spent an hour with HP support tonight and didn't get anywhere.  I tried the system restore.  I tried to restore the library.  I think that my WMP is maybe damaged.  Any thoughts on what I'm missing here?

    I read this on another topic, try it.

  • I have music files in my playlists that I can't make it appear in the Windows Media Player library

    Original title: Player Windows medis library - Playlist trouble

    -J' have music files in my playlists that I can't make it appear in the library - how can I sync the two up - I tried the usual fall / drag...

    Hello

    1. is the specific issue of the reading list?

    2 are you able to add other songs in the Windows Media Player library?

    3 did you changes to the computer before the show?

    The Player library is the location in the player that lists all of the music, videos and photos on your computer.

    When you play a media file on your computer or a removable storage device, the file is automatically included in the Player library, so you can access it directly from the reader. And if you have access to remote media stored on other computers on your network, you can change the player settings to add those files remotely to the Player library when you play them. The reader does not automatically add a file that you play from removable media, such as a CD or DVD.

    Since you aren't able to add songs to the library, you can try the following and see if they help.
