My Windows media Player on my PC 64 bit of HP Touchsmart 320 seems to play (extended) oversized movies

My Windows media Player on my PC 64 bit of HP Touchsmart 320 seems oversized movies (expanded) so that they are not visible while playing well on a memory stick on my TV. I downloaded your Fix It tools, and it made no difference.

  • Windows Media Player cannot always find the info to the album by tearing or playing

    I really like WMP (very flexible features, changes and types of rip)... BUT the music identification software is horrible. You type the name of an album (because it will not appear) and the search function will give you pages on visits that are not even close. You type in Santana and might get the IDS of several firsts as suite Vivaldi Saint something or other, which? Maybe on the next page of hits that you could find the album you typed in and exactly how you typed it, huh. Why wouldn't be the first shot? This search feature is how stupid? For example. I could type in Masters of Classical Music Vol.1, Mozart, and it will give me all MCM volumes but the one I want. Get rid of the vol.1 or Mozart, or both, and you have the right ID even faster, what? Many of the volumes MCM yielded no ID of classical music at all, what? Was a time, you can click Update music info. and get the ID/album art correctly most of the time. How can the system ID is worserer over time instead of better.

    I tried to do some of the things I like to do with WMP NERO9 and Nero9 turned out to be much less flexible, but the Gracenote ID system has a very high success rate 99 percent to get the ID of music correctly tagged for songs and albums. AND I don't need to hunt for the news of the album that is already in the database somewhere. The version of Nero on my laptop does not burn WMA lossless or 320 kbps mp3.

    So, I guess my question is, are at - it a trick to get WMP albums ID with precision and without me having to hunt through independent music lists? With no luck, I have disabled the Windows Firewall. Furthermore, this isn't a victory op sys. problem, because all oenological practices (11 or 12) of 7/Vista/XP all are terrible to find the data of the ID. I cringe every time that I try to copy a classic CD, because many times you will need to enter all the data from the massive album manually for a single tear. Data entry takes way longer than the period of investigation. Yes, it sucks. Rock albums are easier to obtain, but not always easy.  Creative, included at the same time, a software suite that was very good, but over time, they forced now to buy some of these subtleties with their sound cards.

    Anyone has any ideas on this topic?

    Hi Waynesalo,
    As you may know, the Microsoft answers Forum is a community of users of Windows software that contribute and answer questions to help each other. It isn't a developers or programmers (unless you want to register) forum at all. However, there are many developers and programmers forums out there that deal with more complex issues such as you pinned. If you want to dive into the more detailed questions, you can start with one of the links below:
    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490842.aspx
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/Win7/archive/2011/04/05/new-included-music-files-are-not-displayed-in-Windows-Media-Player-library.aspx
    Secondly, I understand the problem you are running into. As a DJ part-time, trying to find some hip-hop and R & B songs is almost impossible. You can watch the server so that the news of the album are pulled. If I remember correctly, you have the choice of three. I found this not have all the information I'm looking for, so I settled on a cause it's less time consuming enter my settings and change this server info each time. Now, I don't know if you have the possibility to change this information in WMP 11 or 12, I use an older version.

    In addition, if you want to talk directly to Microsoft of its products, let me suggest this link:

  • Windows Media Player 12-impossible to scroll to the next song in the song playing

    Windows Media Player 12

    Hello

    I have Windows 7 on my computer, it is already installed with Windows Media Player 12, I find that when I chose a song to play, I don't, when I take another song to play, I can not scroll the next song in the song that is already running, like WMP 12, DO NOT HAVE THAT FUNCTION, to allow me to do still in the older version of WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER 11, you can do it, I know that creating a playlist would solve this problem, but I don't want to do that, Jean-Claude, I had sometimes simply highlight a song anywhere on the playlist & scroll downwards or upwards, directly below the song playing already also, in the main selection, I can't organize my songs in order, I like to do that as well, and yet, in WMP 11, you can also do.

    Why the new version of WMP 12, did not have these features, as the older versions had, I am very disappointed in WMP 12, it is simply & boring, I can't even add color improvement for WMP 12 because there is no function for this as well.

    BRING BACK THE OLD VERSION OF WMP 11, I SAY, CAUSE OF WMP 12 SUCKS!

    Do you mean that you always want to see the playlist Now Playing music while? In WMP 12, read the list is hidden by default. In library mode, click reading (top) to bring him back. In now playing mode, right-click on a blank area and select list . Tim Baets

    Hello

    Your suggestions might be. I think you need a codex or right and compatible for Win Media Player or you will need to install another player.

    Sites Web de Microsoft provides own codex for Windows media player. I ve installed the beyond and I'm able to watch all the movies and short clips on the sides of the internet as youtube for example. No problem at all...

    Check this sites from Microsoft and plug-ins available:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/plugins.aspx

    But I noticed that many Web sites provide movies that can be opened with flash player.
    I would recommend so also install this player. As far as I know you can find it on the Adobe site.

    Good luck and best regards ;)

  • Windows Media Player 11 & MP4

    I can play a video file MP4 with WMP11 from an external hard drive and an SD card using ffdshow codecs, but it will not exactly play the same file copied to the internal hard drive of the PC.  When I try to read a file in the C: drive for example MP4, WMP11 stops and displays the message «the selected file has an extension (.)» that is not recognized by Windows Media Player."  So, any ideas why WMP11 recognizes and play a MP4 file on an external drive, but not on a hard drive internal?

    Thanks but the problem is solved.  The command 'open' for .mp4 files in the registry must be changed from "C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe" '%1' to 'C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe"/Open"% ".  Simple really!  Then the files .mp4 plays well with the codecs installed "ffdshow".

  • Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file.
