• Windows Media Player won't play videos

  I have Windows XP Home Sp 3 with all updates.

  There are three computers in my house, all with the same OS.

  We'll play videos and memories on TV with Windows Media Player slideshows, but others will not.  Who will play has been longer and maybe have a better codec.  Otherwise, I don't know why.

  I prepare a thesis on slide TV show which will be sent to about 100 people.  It is the DVD-R format and will probably be played on DVD players for which there should be no compatibility issues.  Some will want to see on their computers, however, and this is where the problem arises.  I use mostly WinDVD, so I have no problem, but what do the people who have that WMP?

  I don't understand why WMP should do by default.  Do I say to people who want to see the DVD on his computer?

  Hello

  You have converted this file to windows media player supported file types or they should have DVD decoder installed on the computer.

  It seems that you did not actually transfer files... did you
  check files on the jumpdrive to see if they would play?

  Might be interesting to try another.

• Media Player won't play content protected after the restoration of PC

  Media Player support?

  Media usage rights acquisition.

  I can't plays music, that I bought in the past. I also don't remember the user name and password with the fact that he said that I signed. In fact, I don't remember signing up! I have a password / Windows Live account, but who does not work either. I restored my PC completely, but re entered the backup files, most of which. I have Media Player 11 update and that seems to be the moment where I lost the rights of acquisition, but this is not certain.

• Windows Media Center won't play video, but Windows Media Player will be?

  I'm reading a video .avi with the xvid codec. I installed the codec earlier and it plays fine in Windows Media Player, but when I try to play in Windows Media Center, it indicates that one or more codecs are required to play this file, but they cannot be found. I know I would just watch with Windows Media Player instead of Media Center, but I want to watch it on my Media Center extension (my Xbox). I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate, 64-bit. Why does Windows Media Player with this codec and Windows Media Center not work? How can I solve this problem?

  -Slick05_1

  Hi Slick05_1,

  Thanks for the replies on the forum.

  Given that the Microsoft Vista Media Center and XBOX do not play the files suggest it would need to be a codec which solves the problem or maybe file conversion which would solve the problems you are experiencing.  Since the codecs for files is not something written by Microsoft, we do not have the information for that in our system.

  What I suggest is to go to your search engine preferred and in the search line and typing "is possible to play VLC on XBOX.

  WARNING:

  Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  What I suggest also done an online search using your favorite search engine for "play MKV files in Vista x 64 Media Center" to find whether there may be suggestions about codecs or these codecs created by other organizations then Microsoft.

  Please let us know if you are able to get this to work for you.

  Best regards

• A few tracks on a CD Windows Media Player 12 will play but not others

  I downloaded an album on Amazon.com MP3 to my computer.  After you download the Amazon MP3 default folder, I cut and pasted into the folder my music to the title of the appropriate artist.  Before ever opening Windows Media Player, I've renamed some of the tracks so that some were marked [Explicit].  Then I opened Windows Media Player to play the music.  Ironically, the ones I renamed plays very well, but the other tracks (unmodified) on the same CD are not recognized.  If I navigate to the folder of the album, a track, right-click and select "Add to Windows Media Player list" this will work in the drive.  But if I click on the album in the drive, it cannot recognize the path.  Huh?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  FYI: Using Windows 7, Windows Media Player 12

• Media Player won't play my dlna Server files

  Howdy. I'm listening to music stored on my phone to my laptop android using Windows media player. I have Windows Vista and Media player 11.

  I use a Motorola Droid Bionic.  My phone is able to locate the files on the PC, but never, Media player recognizes or load the files from the phone.

  The phone is on the network. I see that in the network window. Also, I welcomed the "unknown device" that appears in the media sharing in Media Player, but never, it load or display the files on my phone that I can play.

  I looked in the "Add library...". ' option to see if there was a file on my phone that I needed to have the Media Player monitor, but nothing shows. The radial button for ' my folders and those of others that I can access "is selected.

  Any suggestions of what I should try next?
