• Error "server is busy" Windows Media Player 12 (WMP 12)

  Dear friends @ MS,

  I use WMP 12 on Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 (full specs below)

  I noticed that when it seeks to "Apply media information changes" a status window are displayed with a bar that does nothing.

  I left it for an hour and when I came back, that's what I saw the link below (pic). "The server is busy."

  Either by the way, I ran troubleshooting for Player settings reset both, no change either.

  I know this isn't a single occurrence since I've had this problem before. Do you have any suggestions?

  Thank you, in advance.

  In the WMP library, you click on organize and select manage libraries - music. What places are? Is there any location not available or who do not meet? Same question for other libraries (videos, pictures, and Recorded TV).

• Windows Media Player 12 will not play mp4, mp3, wmv files through IIS hosted local site when the PC is disconnected from the Internet

  I have an IIS Web site 6.1 on local 32-bit Windows 7 machine that serves HTML and MP4 videos via Internet Explorer on the local computer.  An internet connection is not necessary because it is all local storage and local accommodations through IIS.  IIS is configured to serve the MP4 videos in the form of downloadable files, don't not streaming somehow.  I have the right MIME type ".mp4" with the installation of "video/mp4" in the IIS server, so I don't think that's the problem.

  When the machine is connected to the internet, by clicking on a video link MP4 in any HTML page served by the local IIS server results in Windows Media Player opening and playing the video in its own window.  However, when the Ethernet cable is unplugged, by clicking on the same results of video link MP4 in Windows Media Player by opening its own window, and then display this error message:

  Windows Media Player cannot play the file.  If the file is on the Internet, connect to the Internet.  If the file is on a removable storage card, insert the storage card.

  It's almost as if Windows Media Player has a bug and since it accesses this media file via a URL, but the machine is not connected to a network, he thinks that this file is unplayable.

  When the Ethernet cable is disconnected, the local IIS server is still all the HTML code and ActiveX content except for media files.  I also tried to access MP3 and WMV files via the IIS server to see if Windows Media Player will open those when the computer is disconnected from the Internet.  These caused also Windows Media Player files display the same error message.

  I tried the VLC (VideoLAN) Player after changing the property file in VLC of WMP for .mp4 files extension.  With VLC installed and the extension changed to VLS property, I can download/open the MP4 video using the link in the web page served by IIS all when they are disconnected from the internet.  The only thing I can't do is get VLC player to open and play the video simply by clicking on the link in Internet Explore web pages served by the local IIS server.

  I would like to make use of Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player with this IIS server that serves the MP4 videos rather than using VLC player.

  Thank you

  I finally found the answer to my problem:

  When they are disconnected from the internet, mysteriously, Windows Media Player 12 requires that you check a checkbox in tools > Options... > zone settings tab player called "Internet connection (ignore the other commands).  Once this box is checked and the settings saved on APPLY, then Windows Media Player 12 will play videos served by the local IIS server on the same machine, while disconnected from the Internet.

• When you start Windows Media Player I get error: "Server execution failed".

  Hello

  When I try to start Windows Media Player by double-clicking an audio or video file, I get the error "Server execution failed" for this file. Can someone tell me what this means and what I can do about it?

  Thank you

  Christi

  Hi Christi,

  You may receive this error if you try to open a file media shortly after the closing of Windows Media Player (WMP).  When you close WMP, the user interface is closed immediately, but WMP continues to be in a State of "shutting down" for a few seconds, and the process is still in activity during this period.

  To avoid this problem it should be enough to wait a few seconds before Windows Media Player opens, 2 seconds at least.

• Windows 7 - Media Player 12 problem - won't open - error "Server execution failed".

  Hello

  I have trouble with WMP 12 on Windows 7. Whenever I try to open the program, the window opens, but it is completely insensitive and greyed out. I can close it in "End task" in the Task Manager.
  When I try to open a file, for example a video, I get the C:\User\Public\Videos\Filename.wmv error message
  Server execution failed
  Previously, I was able to remove the library to solve the problem. Nothing I did worked this time.
  Any help or assistance would be greatly appreciated that Windows 7 was not a very good experience for me so far!

  Kind regards

• In windows 7, Windows Media Player does not work and displays "Server execution failed".

  I am facing a problem when I want to open the WMP it does appear anything (do not open) and when I try to open a media file, then it displays "Server execution failed". Could any body help me solve the problem.

  Things to try:

  • Uninstall WMP then reinstall it of "features" - "turn on or off windows features" develop ' media features. and uncheck the 'Windows media player' reboot your PC and then do the same thing but check WMP to reinstall it.
  • run WMP - problem shooters in "search programs and files" enter "help" (without the quotation marks), in the results click "troubleshooting." Click on 'programs' and run the WMP troubleshooters.
  • Run the wmp FixIt - go to http://support.microsoft.com/fixit/?wa=wsignin1.0 and run the FixIt of MP.

  If it still does not work, try a SFC/scannow scan.

  If all goes well, one of the highest peuvent help.

• "Server execution failed" in Windows Media Player

  original title: the execution of the server failed

  Often, when I play an audio file in Media Player, my computer loads for a few seconds and then gives the error "Server execution failed". I tried everything in this topic: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-sound/windows-7-media-player-server-execution-failed/ecc08c3b-d445-48c2-b07d-9df48500434f, but it does not solve my problem. I got the errors of memory before, but I fixed those.

  The suggestion worked for you? Try 5 second delay.

  Sometimes an audio file has a period of closure in fade or even silence or a low level at the end. If you click on to read another file before the file is actually finished playing, you get a server running has no reviews.

  It would be more elegant if the application produces a message of type "has a moment, please" and then fix the new request, but...

• Problem with Windows Media Player: "Server execution failed" and "files needed to display video are not installed or do not work properly.

  I have a problem with Windows Media Player on laptop Lenovo G780. My laptop is under warranty (bought a month ago), but technical support Lenovo told me that the Windows Media Player program is not covered by the warranty.

  And this is a problem:

  When I click on Windows Media Player - to about 0.1 sec I see it opens and closes the window and nothing happens.

  When I select a mp3 or wmv file and right-click with the option open with Windows Media Player - I get a message: "Server execution failed" - I checked that all services with 'Media' in the name are running.

  When I select a mp3 or wmv file and right-click with the open option with Windows Media Center - Windows Media Center opens with the message: "the files needed to display video are not installed or do not work properly.

  When I select a file mp3 or wmv and right-click with option open with Windows Movie Maker life - see the video

  I tried to turn / WMP and WMC - did not help
  Tried to run as administrator - did not help
  I don't see something suspicious under events

  What can I do else?

  Thank you

  I had the same problem and then by chance, I tried a video on YouTube and it worked for me. Here's how I went on this issue and solved my problem:

  1. go to the computer, then OS (C).
  2. you will need to open Program Files (x 86) and Program Files.
  3. go to Windows Media Player in Program Files (x 86) and open the folder.  Then, remove the wmplayer file.  You may need to work around the error TrustedInstaller.  I'll tell you that, in a moment.
  4. in Program Files, go to the same folder for Windows Media Player and select the same file again. Wmplayer.  Copy the file in another window open.  Copy ensures that if the question comes up again you can at least try to fix it again.
  This should be the end of your problem.  If you need to circumvent the TrustedInstaller question is how:
  1. right click on wmplayer and select Properties > Security > advanced > owner > Edit > other users and groups.
  2. Enter your username and then click on check names.  Click OK.
  3. close the dialog boxes as he has requested.
  4. open again the properties and click Security.  Select your username from the list and click on edit.  From there, select full control.
  This should give you full control over the removal of the original file for WMP and easily allow you to copy the other files (x 86) programs.
  Please let me know how it goes for your problem.

• Windows 7 windows media player, the Server execution failed?

  Windows Windows 7 Media Player went I turn on I get this,: Server execution failed. What is c?

  There are some tips in the forum Server execution failed thread

• problem of windows media player "Server execution failed"

  Windows media player does not work whenever I play a movie I get the message 'Server execution failed '.

  Look at the following thread: -.
  Windows 7 Media Player - Server execution failed

• 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.
