• Video error: the files needed to display video are not installed or not working not properly. Please restart Windows Media Center...

  Please help - it's driving me crazy! I got this to work!

  I am using Vista Ultimate and a connection (cat-5) ethernet to an xbox 360 as a Media Extender (via a Linksys router). I get the error of the video:
  "The files needed to display video are not installed or not working not properly." Please restart Windows Media Center or restart the computer "."

  I have a Happauge PVR 150 TV capture card installed, and you want to watch TV and my video files Via the Xbox 360. I can see the guide for lists of TV programs, but not to look at them without getting the message above.  I can also put in place a program to record, display the video thumbnail, but not play. Video files only will play are videos very select few years recorded only where there is.

  My graphics card is an ATI 2900XT - 512 MB of ram, with the latest drivers.

  I've seen a number of discussions on the web that describes the same (or similar) problem, but none of them seem to have no solution.

  I had Norton Internet Security installed and it has since withdrawn because of the firewall. I had thought, it could be a firewall issue, but it is not. I'm now using the Windows Firewall for now.

  I deleted and reinstalled the Xbox as an Extender media several times... no help. I have re-installed the complete drivers for the video capture card, it has not helped either. I checked and double-checked the settings on my router as well.

  The xbox is set for the share on my multimedia computer. The correct files can also be programmed for sharing.

  On the PC in Windows Media Center, I can view the TV programs, record programs etc etc etc all work.

  Any help would be really appreciated!

  I assume you mean WTV and not the WMV files? Likely the reason is that the adapter

• Video error - files needed to display video are not installed or not working not properly. Please restart Windows Media Center or restart the computer

  I have Vista Version 6.0.6002.18030 (vistasp2_gdr.090429 - 2357) SP2 installed during an automatic update.  This box is only used as a Media Center

  Now, I get this error when you try to watch HD programming - I get a few seconds of viewing before the image starts to freeze, the acoustic breaks then the error message.
  Recorded at stations SD I will often get towards the end of the program, and it starts too break up.
  The Analysis ToolPak that I found for the Hauppauge 500 t tuner I have reports that all networks have 70 + strength and 100% quality.
  The performance of the Task Manager tab indicates the processor cores ares works at about 25% of capacity
  I had a lot of trouble getting the Pioneer BD drive to work - it turned out to be a very minor mistake, a slider maxed out on the Graphics tab "overlay" card - but until I found this he encouraged to re - install the OS from the original DVD and the problem persists.
  The system used to work properly and there has been no hardware apart from the Pioneer BD drive changes.
  I got ffdshow installed from the beginning, so I don't think that's the problem.

  DVD read OK

  BluRay disks play back ok using the Cyberlink plug in BOF VMC

  Different types of downloaded files play OK using VLC.  So, I conclude that the (integrated) graphics (latest drivers installed) and in the rest of the material are very good.

  Looking through the forums, this seems to be an old problem, but its very curent FRO me and SUPER frustrating.

  The indices of anyone?

  Hello Clement,

  Thanks much for the reply.
  I had already downloaded the Tuner card driver on the site yesterday and installed (this is the same version I already had, but he did not seem wrong to re - install).  No change.
  I really don't understand well enough codecs!  -are you making allusion to the East no doubt not that the encoding of the input signal software cannot do its job properly?  Are the part of the tuner driver codecs? I could not see them on the website of the tuner (http://www.newmagic.com.au/Support/Hauppauge_Vista_Drivers.html)
  Can you please point me in the right direction for the codec pack (btw, I though 'codec packs' were notoriously bad news! and since I recently made a new facility would be not all right codecs be there that they must have been before when everything worked well?)
  I have a chart integrated 'card' on the ASUS P5E - VM HDMI, an Intel GMA x 3500 and here too I have the latest driver from the Intel web site.
  I think I've found the "MS decoder checkup" utility you mention (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=DE1491AC-0AB6-4990-943D-627E6ADE9FCB&displaylang=en).  I have a Red Cross and green ticks for different decoders but 'Microsoft MPEG-2 Video' (msmpeg2vdec.dll.) decoder is compatible with MCE, but not with MP10.  When selected "update now" button is dimmed.
  Thanks again

• Windows 7 Media Player - Server execution failed

  My PC woes began - a few weeks ago I had problems with RAM that I solved since. However, in the course of trying to diagnose the problem of memory, I installed and uninstalled a myriad of programs.

  And now my Windows Media Player won't play, while Media Center crashes if I go into the sections of music or video (Live TV seems to be good though). If I run WMP from the shortcut to the taskbar, the window flashes up briefly before disappearing. If I try to launch it by double clicking on an audio file, I get the message "Server error".

  I tried to disable all the features of media in the section Windows features and then by reactivating. It did not work. Note that iTunes works perfectly, playing the same mp3s that break WMP.

  I really do not have to reinstall Windows 7 Ultimate edition just for this problem...

  It was a pretty simple solution for me and I was able to reproduce the problem and fix it. WMP always "Server runtime error' until I uninstalled all 3rd party codecs. I realized later that it wasn't the codecs is causing the error, but rather the settings, I had for them. In order to reset everything to stock, I uninstalled all codecs from my machine, uninstalling WMP and WMC then rebooted, deleted the WMP folder in C:\Program Files, reinstalled WMP and WMC, restarted. Then everything worked as expected. I then reinstalled my codecs and BAM, the problem came back. It wasn't until I messed with the settings, specifically for FFDShow as my problems went away.

• Problem with Windows Media Player Audio sync DivX playback in full screen

  Hello

  I have found lately that when playing videos on Windows Media Player divx mode full screen audio is out of sync.  If the video is played in window mode, there is no problem.  I had no such problem in the past, but now for about 1 month or so, I have this problem.

  I have fitted iq508a to vista 64-bit, with the latest drivers delivered HP installed (using the HP update utility)-does anyone else have this same problem too?

  Thanks in advance

  Jim

  I can't believe! I solved the problem with this problem of video audio sync during playback in full screen!

  While watching the Pineapple Express, I thought WTF I'll take another closer look at this, and while they were smashimg their cell phones so that they could not be found by triangulation, (don't ask - u just I have to watch - stoner movie )...

  in any case, I looked under tools options in WMP.  I unchecked the option on the performance tab "use video smoothing"-the video as reloaded and bingo! everything in harmony!

  BTW, I checked my another PC running Vista 32 bit and the option ' use video smoothing ' also exists and it is checked if this seems to be a problem with WMP works on Vista 64 bit or running desktop Touchsmart of WMP... In case I am much happier now...

• Problem with Windows Media Player on your computer.

  I tried to load a program called Yawcam which can be used to control a webcam.  Installation of Yawcam has asked if I wanted Windows Media Center to view the Webcam.  I clicked Yes.  Serious mistake.  Windows Media Center has taken over my computer.  I have changed throughout most of my icons on the desktop for a Media Center icon, and clicking on one of them causes Windows Media Player start up, even the icons which are always original.  I can't find any setting in Media Player which will solve the problem.  I can't even start Yawcom.  And unfortunately I did not define a recovery point.  Can someone tell me how to retrieve my Windows Media Center desktop icons and return control of my computer myself?
