• Netflix no longer works in Windows Media Center

  Hello!

  Recently (a week ago) my Netflix stopped working through Windows Media Center.  When I try to start the Netflix app in WMC, I just get the message 'there is a problem with the application.  Try again later. »

  I reinstalled Netflix in WMC, update of Silverlight, and yet, it does not solve the problem.  However, on some other user accounts on my computer it works fine again.  I don't know what to do.

  Help?

  I started having exactly the same problem a couple of days. The only thing that I did is to install Visual Studio 2010 and Silverlight 4. Since Netflix is a Silverlight application, I'm guessing this has something to do with it. Upgrade Silverlight this week?

  Now I'll uninstall Netflix in Windows Media Center and Silverlight 4, and then reinstall Netflix in Windows Media Center. If this solves the problem, I'll report back.

  Update : I have uninstalled both in the order above. Then I ran the Media Center and clicked on Netflix. It prompted me to reinstall the Netflix player, that I let him. As soon as it was over, I have connected and managed to go my instant queue (it wouldn't let me do it before).

  Then, I tried to look at something and was motivated I need Silverlight. I let it install, knowing that Silverlight 4 is now current. However, he installed Silverlight 3.0.50106.0 . Now he can play very well, however.

  Update #2: I closed Windows Media Center and went to http://www.silverlight.net. Here, I chose "Windows Runtime" in the box "Install Silverlight". This updated my system for Silverlight 4.0.50401.0 . I started Windows Media Center, choose something in my instant queue and began to watch.

  So, my conclusion is that maybe it was a problem with Silverlight all along. Try to uninstall Silverlight on your system and put it back in place, starting from silverlight.net, or let the Netflix player to do it for you.

• Stop recording in Windows Media Center

  I need to help, stopping at Windows Media Center (Windows Vista Ultimate). For some reason programs took a specific series on once for automatically records. I can't find any option to COMPLETELY stop the records to AVOID it. I don't want to record off tv. I am only able to cut the recorder when there's a notice, that he began to record.

  That sounds like some show was somehow may (inadvertently) value series 'Record '.
  Try this: in recorded TV, go to scheduled > series.  The show in question shows up there?  If so, select it > cancel the series.

  HTH,

  I lost my CD/DVD and Media Center has stopped. I can not down load and I was prevented to loging on internet by something.

• Display mode error "Windows media player has stopped working" in windows media player

  You can try the options under the view menu to change the available on the computer visualizations. When you play the files in 'Now Playing mode', make a right click anywhere within the interface on Windows Media player and go to visualization. Choose the desired option or try a different visualization in the context menu.

• Netflix search works only in Windows Media Center (windows 7 pro or Home Premium)

  A couple of weeks, there is an update to the Netflix app and since then all 3 of my media center Netflix apps is no longer looking.  First error says "APPLICATION ERROR there is a problem with the application at this time. Try again later. "and the second says"SERVICE NOT AVAILABLE this web service is currently unavailable. Try again later.  I checked that the service IS available, because it works fine in IE and I contacted Netflix to confirm status.  The update of the application Netflix WMC seems to be broken.  Anyone know of a fix or are we at the mercy of having to wait for that ultimately get solved by Microsoft.  (I run everyday Media Center is our main source/interface for television and movies).

  I am a network/systems admin.... do NOT ask me if I restarted my computer or re-installed the application

  Thanks for any help on this!

  It is a failure on both of my computers of Win 7. Must the installation be run from the command line? I don't see the Install.log file that he mentions.

  Edit: So much worse! Read another thread mentioned that he had to be run from a local directory rather then a network drive, worked like a charm! Thank you!!

• Problems with Netflix Plugin for Windows Media Center

  I'd rather watch Netflix through my windows media center, since I can use a remote control, and I watch on a screen more great all in the comfort of my couch.

  It is a huge pain in the rear to have to use the browser Netflix program and must be implemented on the second monitor. So just by using the browser is not a solution.

  That being said, I can not play videos. On Windows Media Center, I open the Netflix plugin, log on to the account, access my instant queue, click on a movie, and then click play. It changes the blue background of the screen, and a small circle of spinning that tells it to load upwards. But then he just argued right out to the previous screen... which is description/options of the selected film (read, delete, find others like it).

  I tried various films of selections. I tried to disconnect and return signature. Restarted the computer. Even uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin from Netflix, BOTH the Silverlight program. No chance whatsoever.

  I contacted Microsoft and they are stumped on this. I was wondering if there is anyone here who had this problem and fixed.

  Hmmm well the problem fixed itself somehow.

  I tried to play a movie again today, and when I click on play, a windows media center style dialog box appears and asks something in the sense of knowing if I wanted WMC to access my netflix account. I clicked 'Yes', and it has loaded the film. I had not seen this before dialog box...

  So I pressed the back button and tried again to see if it was indeed fixed. Yes. I tried again and again with different movies... and it WORKED!

  I guess that the problem is not from my system, but rather netflix or something.

• Windows Media Center displays/does not play videos in folders of same accurate as they have always been saved

  Videos that previously played by Windows Media Center (which came installed on my laptop) suddenly stopped appearing in Windows Media Center records, although some videos (very few) are always show and play exact same files on my hard drive as videos which stopped working.

  I don't know that I did something to cause this, although maybe I did, inadvertently, or certain updates or new facilities caused program.

  Please help, I use Windows Media Center as my main videos media player. Windows Media Center is not connected to a TV, just use it as a media player on my laptop.

  He also noted - I recently moved several files from my hard drive to an external drive, if it will be of any significance.

  Thank you.

  you go into media center tasks and add new locations to
  storage/libraries? some external drives can be a problem, too.
   
  best bet is a system restore. You can CANCEL a system restore if it does not work.

• 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
