• Playing old consoles by windows media center

  I'm trying to play my NES, SNES and N64, through Windows Media Center. It works, but there is a mismatch between touch me on the controllers and actions. I understand that video playback to watch TV Live has a similar shift, because if, while watching TV, I unplug my coaxial cable, the TV show will continue to run for a few seconds. Media Center does not appear to be all that much of customizable options that I see, so I wonder if there's some way to make sure that this delay is not there, ideas?

  Hello PTrev.

  There is not much that can be made to this topic.  The GAL, as you see, is because the computer must convert the analog signal into MPEG or another digital video codec, it can appear on the screen and do all his fancy stuff recording.  Even the type of equipment they use for television still gives a delay of a second or two.

• Audio stuttering then crash by watching the video with Windows Media center

  I'm having a problem with Windows Media Center which seems to have left me speechless. Whenever I have try and watch live TV or recorded using Media Center program, he starts to play to repeat the first second of audio for about 6 seconds and then stops playing gives me an video error and won't let watch me something else. I have a Setup Xbox 360 as an Extender and having no problem whatsoever. The strange thing is that, if I open the program saved directly from Explorer windows with media center, it will play well. If I stop and try and then click RESUME He stutters and gives me this video error.
  It used to work fine until I started to play with the audio settings from 5.1 to 7.1 audio in the windows configuration settings. I changed the settings in-game your 7.1 speakers. Actually I tried to switch back, but when I try to 'Test' the speakers it gives a sound like it is stuttering and I still get the video error when I try to play. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

• Live365 program plays more stations in Windows Media Center (the two MCE 2005 on XP and Vista Home Premium version).

  When you select any Live365 station, just have a beep. Three different computers with the same problem (XP and Vista). However, all 3 have IE8 with the same default security settings. I also contacted Live365 support for the resolution and waiting for their response. Live365 is working on other media, just not Windows Media Center PC or extender readers.

  Thought I'd share some good news, instead of a few problems.

  A month ago, Live 365 in Windows Media Center started working again on all my computers (Vista and XP). Don't know if it's a windows update, or an update of the app live365. But whatever the fix was, thank YOU!

• Windows Media Center will not play a DVD, I get video with a loud noise and no soundtrack.

  When you try to play a DVD in Windows Media Center or media player, the video starts, but there is a loud cracking sound with no sound of music.   This Media Center has played the DVD in the past.
  My system is: Vista Home Premium
  NVIDIA GeForce 8500
  Hauppauge Win TV HVR-1600
  Realteck HD audio
  ViXS Pure TV - U 48BO
   
  I checked these devices using HP Hardware Diagnostic tools and they work.  I uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled.  Also updated all the drivers.

  Reading this forum, I tried to delete the file from library: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Medial Player

  So far, nothing has solved the problem.

  Thank you for your response.

  I went through the steps.  He has not fixed the problem.  The good news is that I stumbled upon a fix.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Realtek Audio drivers.  Which corrects the problem.

  Thank you.

• Cannot play movies/recorded shows in Windows Media Center on Windows 7

  Three years ago I bought a Sony laptop with Vista and an external tuner ATI so that with a CableCARD, I could use Windows Media Center to record shows/movies. I recently bought a new PC with Windows 7 and found that the Windows 7 PC cannot read the 500 films/shows that have been saved and the new Windows 7 recorded shows can be played by the Vista laptop. Is any way to convert or run natively these shows that have been saved under the WMC?

  Hi RalphGreenlee,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  If I understand correctly, you are unable to play back movies recorded in windows media center.

  Looks like the file cannot not supported by Media Center or you need a codec to right.
  What type of video file format?
  Also check the videos if there are other formats to the choice other than the one you have now.

  Method 1:
  Step 1:
  Indicate the file types supported by Windows Media Center:
  Types of files supported by Windows Media Center:

  Step 2:
  Try using a good set of codecs and then try to burn video files.

• Unable to play XBOX music in Windows Media Player

  Hello.

  I have the neck of XBOX music and I am not able to play .wma music downloaded using the music app (I use 'Add to my music' in the music App) in Windows Media Player. The message that appears is:

  -----
  www.Xbox.com
  There is a problem with the usage rights of the item you are trying to play. To refresh your music rights:
  1. start the Zune software on your computer
  2. connect
  3. read article in the Zune software

  Now you are ready to try to play the item using Windows Media Center or Windows Media Player

  Fair enough. I have Zune installed, when I try to open the same file .wma in Zune, I get the following:

  To see if there's more information about this error, click Help on the Web [web help there is no info on this error].

  It will download any music that is not "in the Collection" and store them in \Subscription 'music library except location.
  then try to play the music in WMP. It should now play the two songs of XBM and Zune.

• AVI video files play sound but no video in Windows Media Player 7

  My video files avi play sound but no video in Windows Media Player 7. Video files avi are since 2002 and has played very well until I'm a new PC with Windows 7 so I know that the files are not corrupt. All my other files and videos play fine in Media Player. I checked online and seen the posts in other forums on the codecs being the problem. Does anyone know how to fix this? Based on the other forums I found it seems that it is not uncommon that a problem with Win7.

  Also, is it possible to convert audio and video files in different formats with Media Player? Or do I need any other software to do this?

  It is not that there is a problem in Windows 7, it is more likely that you don't have just the installed CODEC the video file is saved with.  You will need to find a source, download and install any CODEC no MS yourself. You can use GSpot to identify CODECs used in AVI files. An alternative to downloading of many individual CODECs is to install FFDSHOW instead. Some media players like VLC and Media Player Classic also have internal CODECS and support for a wide variety of video and audio file types.
