  • Windows Media Player keeps adding files to the image library

    Why Windows Media Player (version 12.0.10011.16397 on Windows 10) continue to add folders to the photo library? I have used libraries to manage all files-> deleted photos and add the only folder I want. After a while, even without having to restart Media Player, the default images and OneDrive files reappear. Please can someone stop this madness?

    I found the answer to this question. I had problems with cancelled OneDrive and re-Binder tries to solve the problem. In turn, every time I re-related OneDrive the additional files got added to the Media Player automatically and without notice.

  • The size of the file using Premiere pro CC 2014 exported media is much more important than the estimate, is also much bigger than the first CS 6?

    I used the preset H, 264 1080HD Youtube to export video. The estimated size is MB 7308. {(après que je réduis le nitrate)} The final size is 11,18 GB.

    Why are so many different things? Befor I use the CS6 first for size simial use the same export format is about 6 GB.

    Firstly, the estimated file size just an estimate based primarily on a combination of bitrate and duration. The actual size can vary considerably, in large part on the amount of change from image to image throughout the video. For example, if you encode two clips for a period identical to exactly the same settings, the only difference being the nature of the content - say on is an interview with talking head shot with the camera locked on a tripod, while the other is images skateboard turned into pocket - size of the two files of outputs that result will be widely divergent.

    As for the comparison between CS6 and CC2014, note that the settings for the presets have been changed. For example, YouTube 1080 h.264 presets ranged from 8Mbps to 16.

  • Frying or audio sound in Windows Media Player (especially for music files)

    I think this virus recently, I had on my PC has done major damage to my Windows Media Player files and music. It was working fine this past Saturday, but lately, I experienced technical difficulties with the sound. Music files do not play correctly. The sound is very distorted and scratchy and it sounds almost as if I'm playing music on a tape that has been eaten or warped. Sounds like kind of when you play a portable CD or a cassette player that runs on a low or dead battery. Sounds almost like the files are at a standstill, and then they sound normal, but it is on and off. I can't explain this well because it's really hard to describe. I transferred a lot of my music files on my mp3 player. Even when I play samples of the song on iTunes and Wal-Mart, I get the same problem. I've removed MusicMatch JukeBox on my computer because it prohibits with Media Player.

    I would like to get rid of the itching and the distortion on these music files. I don't know what I have to do. I printed a few instructions, but they are 15 pages long and a bit complicated to read sometimes. Do you know what problem I want to talk to? I don't know how it happened, but I bet that Media Player is not fully upgraded. I also tried the upgrade of WMP but that did not help either.

    Is there a way to relieve this itching and distortion on Media Player? What exactly is the problem I have?

    Sorry the long delay in his response (13/06/12)

    No, I have not found a software solution.  My problem is "solved" by the hard drive crashing / failing & replacement, re - install etc.

    However, I discover, before the crash, when I copied a part of the music on a USB stick and my iPod (led Seattle for THE & back and I wanted music - same 'bad') and was surprised when I plugged the USB on my car stereo - don't pop / does click - no idea why - at least the POPs & clicks were a "warning sign" of the crash of the hard drive.

    When I got home was purchased 8 more of USB drives (fits on music 10 hrs each) saved the rest of my music files.  Most were commerical and had the CD (somewhere), but some of the music was 'live' recorded at a meeting of extended family, which has turned into a festival of the song of sorts.  I was the only one to whom he recorded (after a few changes shared with others).  A week later, the HD crashed (prior to installation).

    Up to 12 USBs with music (and iPod) now and I'm not playing with CD while driving.

    If you have any music, videos, photos, you do not have another copy somewhere... maybe think about making a backup pronto... just in case.

    Take care

  • Windows Media Player shows the library ghost

    I am running Windows 7 64 bit. I deleted everything in my music library, but Windows Media Player shows that I have several albums there. When I try to play songs, WMP says that they aren't there. When I try to delete them, nothing happens.

    Something seems to have gotten corrupted, but I have no idea how to solve this problem.

    You can erase the Media Player library altogether by the removal of the database

    Output Media Player

    Run services.msc and stop the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service

    In the box start the search menu, enter %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft , and delete the folder Media Player.

    Open Windows Media Player and it will recreate the database from scratch, so you will get the computer search for media files dialogue.

  • My ongoing media player make copies of all the songs in the library.

    Everytime I open Windows Media Player for my music, I find that there are multiple copies of each song in my library. I tried to delete the extra copies but they keep coming back with even more copies and then I get a message that says that media player cannot play a song because it can't find the file. Apparently when I delete some extra copies of the file needed to play the song is deleted, I think. Why I get so the number of copies of each song and it keeps progress so that I can have 5 copies or more. Whenever I have delete songs and I come back, I think even more copies. Now my library's all grimy upward and I paid for and downloaded music is lost and so is the money I had spent. What is going on?

    Looks like a corrupted media library, then I suggest that you change it. 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. Check if the problem persists. Tim Baets

  • Windows Media Player not able to burn the 80 minutes of audio

    MEDIA PLAYER NOT ABLE TO BURN THE 80 MINUTES OF AUDIO ON CD.

    I want to burn a 77-minute cd in media player and can not.   I add a playlist to the burnlist and Monte total autonomy than 77 minutes.  I use a 80 minute cd.  Media player automatically moves the last two songs on my playlist of 77 minutes and registered the disk "next".  I want to record the 77 minutes of music on a single cd.  Any suggestions?

    flustrated1, you use Windows Media Player to burn a CD, and if so, what is your WMP version? Where exactly did you select CD burning without gaps ? As far as I know, only WMP 12 supports CD burning. Tim Baets

  • Windows Media Player 12 - slow to update the library

    I have a big disco 50K more songs.  I recently moved the music to a harsh new Bank and changed the directory structure.  I deleted the music library WMP (by removing everything C:\Users\###\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media Player), open from WMP12 and so went to file/manage libraries added in each of the directories music where the music is stored.  As expected, WMP began to read music and I can see the songs populating the library as they come.

    The problem is that this is happening very slowly.  As about 2 seconds per song.  At this rate, it will be almost 4 days of continuous operation to completely rebuild the library.  I got it done in the past (but maybe not with WMP12?), but never experienced this kind of snails pace update.  Any ideas on what could be causing it to ad to the library files so slowly or what I can do to speed things up to?

    Thank you
