Problem with the playback of an audio .asx file in Windows Media Player.

Hello

I'm not able to play an audio .asx file in Windows Media Player on the Windows Vista-based computer.

I get the following in a pop-up error message:

Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the specified protocol is not supported. If you typed a URL in the open URL dialog box, try using a different transport protocol (for example, "http:" or "rtsp:").

Help, please.

Thank you.

Error message: "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the specified protocol is not supported. If you typed a URL in the open URL dialog box, try using a different transport protocol (for example, "http:" or "rtsp:"). »
Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the specified protocol is not supported by the player or not supported by the server.
If you encountered this error by clicking a link on a Web page, the link isn't valid.
If you encountered this error by typing a URL in the open URL dialog, try opening the file using a different transport protocol (for example, "http:" or "rtsp:").
The following is a list of protocols supported by the player and the correct URL syntax examples:

(a) MMS://serveur/nom_fichier (for example, a file with a .wma, .wmv, .asf, or .mp3 extension)
(b) http://server/filename
(c) rtsp://server/filename
(d) mms://server/sami.asf? SAMI = http://server/sami/sami_demo.smi (SAMI file)
If the Player supports the protocol you used in the URL and you can't always read the content, check that the drive is configured to use all of its supported protocols.
 
To configure the protocol settings
(a) in the Player Windows Media, on the Tools menu, click Options.
(b) in the Options dialog box, on the tab of network in the Streaming protocols area, select all the checkboxes (Multicast, UDP, TCP, and HTTP) Protocol, so that a check mark appears in each.
(c) note that the supported protocols can be used only to distribute digital media files. Windows Media Player cannot be used as a browser.
If the fixes above don't work, you can rename the folder of information network for the drive so that it can rebuild its information network files after restarting it.
 
To rename the folder of information networking of player.

(a) close Windows Media Player. (To do this, on the file menu, click on exit).
(b) to make the changes that you will be able to see the hidden files and folders

    Thank you, Michael Phelps 907

    Hi Mike,.

    an .asx file is not a media file. It is a file that contains a pointer to a content online. So if you are unable to read a .asx file and are able to play other files using Windows Media Player so the best thing is to open the .asx, a Notepad file. When you open the .asx using Notepad, you will see a link that starts by http: and so on. Please copy this link and go to Windows Media Player. On the Windows Media Player window, press the Alt key on the keyboard and click file and Open url. Paste the link and check if Windows Media Player is able to open the link. If she opens the link this is a problem with the formatting of the .asx file and if it does not open the link then it is a problem with the server online of the .asx file. It could be that it is deleted from the server.

    Hope this information helps. Keep us informed on the status of the issue.

  • Problem update the eponymic information from a mixed CD using Windows Media Player.

    (Last?) version of media player, the I installed (11.0.5721.5280) does not seem to have the same functionality as the previous version I was using (10.00.00.4081) when it comes during the extraction of information albumn and song from the internet for a mixed CD.  I mean a mixed CD a CD I burned a number of other CD.  I want back the song, albumn, information etc. for each track, but Media Player changes the information for all of the CD.  One response to this problem for about a year ago suggested highlighting the track (s) and right click for information albumn, how you were presented with an option, one of them being that the tracks came different albumns.  It worked in the old version of Media Player, but I can't make it work in the new version.  Should I have a wrong setting option?  Can you explain how to accomplish what I'm trying to do with the latest version of Media Player?  I'm actually running Windows XP if that makes a difference.

    Hello

    You can add information about the media for the items in the media library using different methods.

    Refer to this article for help:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/pt-PT/Windows-XP/help/Windows-Media-Player/11/album-info

    Media Player automatically updated media information, but you can prevent the media information to be overwritten by following these steps:
    a. click the arrow below the library tab, and then click Other Options.

     

    b. updates toAutomatic media information for the files area, verify that theAdd missing informationoption is selected. (It is selected by default).

    This will prevent the player to accidentally overwrite the information in appropriate media that you have added with the incorrect media information that might be available
    in the database online.

    Note that the Add missing information option will not prevent the player to overwrite your changes if you use the Find Album information command
    to manually download the media information from the online database.

  • Videos with a resolution of portrait (1280 x 720) play with a black screen, audio is heard, in Windows Media Player 12 on Windows 7

    Hello

    I noticed that the video playback for videos (with a resolution of portrait, specifically 720 x 1280, appear black with audio being heard in Windows Media Player 12 (WMP 12) on Windows 7.  A Playbook has been used to capture video to the resolution of portrait.  I also noticed that if the Playbook capture resolution 1280 x 720 of the landscape, the video plays fine in WMP 12, so I know it is not a Codec problem and seems to be related to the dimensions of the video picture.

    The same portrait videos can be read normally with VLC and other video player applications.  Is this a known problem or limitation with WMP 12 on Windows 7?

    Thank you

    RS

    P.S. as an aside, Playbook captures video in MPEG-4 AVC video Codec and Audio MPEG-1 layer 2 Audio Codec format.

  • How can I change the music button on my keyboard to launch Windows Media Player to launch WinAmp?

    original title: program music keyboard key

    How can I change the music button on my keyboard to launch Windows Media Player to launch WinAmp?

    Thank you

    Drew

    As Mike Hall suggested, first look for the keyboard utility and seek to change the keyboard assignment there.

    If this option is not available, you can try to change the default program to open files of music. I do not think that "hotkey" keyboard music trying to specifically open Windows Media Play, rather it opens the program assigned as the default value for the music.

    So you'll need to get to the default programs control panel applet. To get there:

    1. Click Start , then Control Panel (in midway up on the right side)
    2. In the Control Panel window, click programs (not options, just the word more big programs). (If you have your set control panel to displayall items in the Panel control, then the applet default programs will be already visible and available directly)
    3. The second group of options should be the default programs. The two options here that should be of interest to you are:
      Make a file always open in a specific program type and (especially) set your default programs.

    You should find everything you need there.

    I'm unable to read the files directly by any player... Each time, I have to choose 'Open with' Option.I has even changed the Option default WMP or VLC etc... But again if I want to play another file... I have to redo the same process... How do I solve this problem... ???

    Hello

    WMP have not perhaps not all of its default settings. Go to control panel, click default programs, and when this window opens click Set your default programs, and then when that window opens click on Windows Media Player in the list of programs, left column and in the right column, click Set this program as default. Wait for the app finally assigning all faults and then OK and then close the Control Panel application.
