  Have you installed a third-party codec pack?

  Windows Media Player cannot play the FLV files. You will need a third party FLV player to play these files or you will need to install the latest codecs pack

• Cannot delete files from Windows Media Player library.

  Original title: deleting files problem

  I deleted a large number of music of my WMP library & computer files, but they are still listed in WMP. I can't play any of them as they were deleted, and I get a message telling me so when I try! Why are they still displayed in the list and how do I get rid of them? I tried to restart, changing the target folder, etc., without change. I even tried to remove all of the library (but not the computer this time) and they do not always go!

  Hi Jamie,

  Welcome to Microsoft Community where you can find all the answers related to Windows.

  According to the description provided, looks like you are not able to completely remove the files in Windows Media Player.

  I have a couple of steps that should help you to solve this problem.

  You can try to clear the database of Windows Media Player and check if it clears the titles and generic icons.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  Method 1:

  1. exit Windows Media Player.

  2. click on Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player in the start search box and enter.

  3. Select all the files in the folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

  Note you don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

  4. restart Windows Media Player.

  Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  Method 2:

  If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. exit Windows Media Player.

  2. click on Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the start search box and enter.

  3 select the folder Media Player, and then click delete on the file menu.

  4. restart Windows Media Player.

  Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  Keep us informed on the status of the issue. If you face problems more when working with Windows post on Microsoft Community.

• Invisible MP3 files in Windows Media Player

  After a registry cleanup, I ended up in a strange situation. Windows Media Player 11 will play MP3 very well, if I double click on an MP3 file in Windows Explorer to the media player will start and play the file.

  If however in Media Player, I open a file I don't see any MP3 file, if the file type is defined for media files (all types). In the drop-down menu, I don't see a type of MP3 file. If I select all the MP3s files are displayed and can be read.

  Where and how can I reset the media player will identify the types of media?

  Thanks in advance!

  OK, I found the problem!

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Extensions the following is missing:

  In Types:

• Adding MKV files to Windows Media Player library

  How can I add MKV files in the 'Vidéo' section rather than in the section 'Other' library?

  Copy / paste the following text in Notepad, save it as WMP_MKV.reg , double-click this file to add it to the registry and restart WMP:

  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
   
  [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mkv]
  "PerceivedType"="video".
   
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Multimedia\WMPlayer\Extensions\.mkv]
  "PerceivedType"="video".
  'Permissions' = dword:0000000f
  "Runtime" = dword:00000007
   
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\MLS\Extensions]
  "mkv"="video".

  After that, MKV files will be added to the video instead to other media (it may be necessary to add new files).

• How can I access my music files through Windows Media Player?

  OK, here's the facts:
  I have Windows Vista.
  Most of my music in my music is missing.
  I can view and listen to the music of "missing" in Windows Media Player (library).
  In Windows Media player, if I click on a song and 'open file location' need me for my music, and the file is not there.
  Looking for songs via the start menu or through my computer does not work.
  MP3 audio files are also missing.

  Not having access to the original files, I can't add music files individually to my mp3 (Windows Media Player lets you synchronize files only, and I don't want to lose a part of the 'missing' files I have on my mp3 using the Sync feature).

  How can I access my music? Clearly, it is still on my computer somewhere since I can play through Windows Media Player.

  Hello

  Step 1: Check what all records are controlled by the player. Then check these records, if the music file is present.

• How can I remove folder rip of monitored files of Windows Media Player 11?

  RIP my CD to wav files on an external drive that I can use to make compilations of disc or mp3, but if I put this drive to be Windows Media Player rip folder, it includes it in the library of almost anything. As much as I have a separate player for mp3 (Yes, I don't keep my music in My Documents, Microsoft; I really don't like my music down from the ship), it includes the files wav and mp3 s, causing duplicates in my library. I only want to listen to mp3 because I use a computer as a network hub to my mp3.

  How can I delete the folder rip as a watched folder, and why Microsoft does not insist on what actually monitored? I don't see the point. I now do a temp folder just for tears and move the wav files on before turning back to my library. Pain.

  Hi dhinged,

  Ripped files are automatically added to the Windows Media Player library. On the computer, the files are in the folder specified on the tab extract music from the Options dialog box. You can change the folder at any time, but it can not be removed from monitored by Windows Media Player.
  Ref: where can I find the files that I ripped?

  I suggest you to create folders separated external hard disk (wav) files ripped to mp3 so that you can monitor folders separately.
