• Windows Media Player does not recognize external DVD drive - so how do you watch a movie DVD?

  I just connected an external DVD - RW drive in my ultrabook of Windows 8 for the first time.  The ultrabook recognizes the drive and the dvd movie which are, but Windows Media Player only - only says: "connect a device".   The resolution of the issues said that the drive works properly.  I can't copy this movie at the video store, because it's a borrowed DVD.  So, how do WMP to recognize the DVD drive and play the movie?

  Hi HWH-CED,
  DVD playback is possible in 8 Pro windows media center. Player Windows Media 8 has no native codecs DVD added to it. You have the option to purchase an update for your Windows 8, which is Media Center Pack to allow playback of DVDs on your computer.
  * Note: Media center pack is only an upgrade for existing computers to Windows 8.

• Get a fixed image and audio while playing a movie in Windows Media Player, also get the message: "network is too busy to read the file to its original quality.

  Original title: Windows Media Player

  When I go to play a movie using windows MediaPlayer all I get is an imagwe again with audio and this message 'network is too busy to read the file to its original quality. Also, all my other media playing programs read the video but are rather "lag". I think the problem is that I already used a program to download torrents called 'BitTorent' and maybe this has used up all my bandwidth or processing speed? Not really sure but would really like it if I could still use WMP and I'm looking for resolution to my problem?

  Thank you

• adding new files or remove the old Windows Media Player files. (Vista)

  Since June 2010, I was not able to add new files or remove the old Windows Media Player files.  I can click on a new file and play using WMP or add to a playlist that is currently playing, but it does not recognize that it was added after as I close the program and re-open it.  Or I can delete the files that no longer exist on my computer but WMP always has them as my files.  When I click on add new media, it recognizes the right amount of files I would be adding, says to add them and then nothing is there.

  Your media library has probably been corrupted. To reset, follow the instructions for WMP 11 Vista at http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#medialibrary . Note the reset of the library will make you lose all the counts to play and possibly ratings too. Tim Baets

• Music files are not listed in the Windows Media Player library

  Music files were deleted from Windows Media Player. The need for a Solution.

  AT & T Communication Manager, who gets my mobile internet card online, asked if he could deal with some updates.  I had only had the camera for a few days and assumed he was talking about some AT & T software.

  Next thing I know he turned my internal computer to the outside.  Washed and folded it carefully but seems threw things into the pockets now.  I had to hunt for my documents, but a lot of things are different, changed my toolbars, settings on Open Office.  Cannot access some files.  He was asked to record a program I had a lot of time.  Nothing in the Windows Media Player I had the program adds a big chunk of my record mp3 files music.  But I think that much of the music in my eMusic account, which now has nothing in it, can be conveniently added (unless I'm going one by one I think).  Moreover, my eMusic Download Manager is empty.

  I want to reverse sync my mp3 player but don't know how.  Should I get Windows Media PLayer 11?  I have Vista.

  Thank you very much.  And if you can help without talking over my head I would appreciate it.

  Hey Asher,

   
  1 are the music files on the physical hard disk?
   
  Step 1: If music files are present on the hard drive, then we can manually add the files to themedia player library or create playlists accordingly.

  Step 2: If the files are not deleted permanently from the hard drive, then restore the computer to an earlier time should help. To restore the computer to an earlier time when everything worked well, try the following steps.
  a. Click Start, type system restore in the search box and then in the list click on the system restore program.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
  b. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.
  c. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.
  d. click Finish.

   
  See which is the system restore?

• video files preview 'this file cannot be previewed because of an error in the windows media player manager rich low."

  I used to be able to watch VIDEO (including the .avi) files in the preview pane in windows Explorer, but it has since stopped working. This change took place after the update to the latest version on windows media player. (version 12.0.7601.18150)

  attempted fixes:
  1. in options from files of the variations of tab - all reviews of checking / unchecking "always show icons, never thumbnails" and "show previewhandlers in the preview pane. the first has nothing to do with this problem. However, the 'show previewhandlers... '. "when checked this error message is displayed in the preview pane" "this file cannot be previewed because of an error in the windows media player rich preview Manager." When unchecked the poster preview pane a thumbnail with the icon of the program it is supposed to open, in the present case, WMP, this correction allows the preview of the PHOTO but NOT of VIDEO. " also I reset by default, of course.
  2. they also examined the options under system settings panel-advanced control and troubleshooting without success.

  all the less someone ' one can confirm that there is a problem with windows media player? or it comes from windows Explorer?

  UPDATE:

  I found this temp. The difficulty of the problem:
  https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=xBgrJ3XO-Z8

  This shows that the problem is with WMPRPH.exe (Windows Media Player Rich Preview Handler) it happens when wmprph farm, now if someone knows how to impose this program to continue to work as it should which would solve my problem.

  Cannot delete files from library

  There are files in my library that I deleted the files, but the items still appear in my library. An example would be the items stored in the folder 'Public '.  When I right click on the file and choose 'Remove', nothing happens.  Any suggestions on how to get these files is no library WMP?  I tried already to 'Restore the library' and I also tried "sfc/scannow", which did not find any problem.

  It seems to be a corrupt library file.  In any case of the deletion and re-creation of who?
