• 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.

• Reset the library in Windows Media Center on Vista Ultimate

  Any way to reset Media Center, so it restores the library of images, video and audio?  I need to start all over again because it won't let me control my own destiny.

  Media Center has found all kinds of stuff on my readers that I don't want to appear in its menus.  No, it's not _, but I can't see how this could be a real problem.  Is finding all sorts of photos of various I don't want not shown.  I wouldn't have to revamp my hard drive in an attempt to hide the stuff of Media Center.  That's all just crazy!  Media Player 11 is much better behaved.

  Once Media Center detects something it got him to it!  At least it seems that way to me.

  It would be a great improvement if Media Center show you a list of files that it finds and then gives you the ability to remove or add to this list.  MS apparently he dumbed down so that you can do.  Then after that it's must rescan and update everything.  Media Center development team please talk to the development of Media Player 11 team and see how they do.

  Apparently, it cannot detect that I moved my Public folder to another drive.  He is always looking for C:/users/Public and won't give up his research there.  I empied on all my music, video, photos, etc. under my user so it won't find anything be it next time around.  Now, I just need to find a way to reset the library from scratch.  It would be a nice option to have on task!

  Another option would be to score a registration file in Media Player/Media Center with a power button set with a right click on the folder.  Carbonite for that because he's back in line ups and it couldn't be simpler!

  This is really an excellent product to be almost useless for me.

  BajaPaul,

  Windows Media Center takes advantage of your information to the Windows Media Player library. We will need to edit your library here.

  <><><><><><><><><><><><>

  Add or remove watched your library folders:

  Open Windows Media Player, click on the library tab and choose the type of media (video, music, photos, recorded TV) then press F3 on your keyboard to open the Add to library window, press Advanced Options, make your selections for your library folder (by selecting Add, Remove, ignore or Enable), click on OK.

  Now, let's remove existing content unwanted from your library:

  Press on the library tab, choose the type of media (video, music, photos, recorded TV). Now select library in the left panel, displays, select file. You can now right click on the folder you want, and then select delete, to the notification area select delete from library only, press on OK. Alternatively, you can right-click on any multimedia file and follow the steps above to remove.

  Note: Pictures and video in Windows Media Center libraries automatically monitor your current user photos and video records. Any multimedia content added to these folders will be automatically analyzed in your Media Center, which includes the folder Public under C:/Users, place only the content you want to add them.

• Error "Invalid Application" - failed to launch at the launch of Windows Media Center.

  Original title: Windows Media Center Edition:

  Current operating system: Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit SP2, latest MS Silverlight installed

  Freshly installed, all updates up to SP2, whenever I have open Windows Media Center, and then select Internet TV (TV + movies) I get an error stating:

  «INVALID APPLICATION - unable to launch «»

  Nothing opens and I see all the icons TV.  I then click on the OK button and the app closes back to TV + movies (TV recorded - by default).  I can click on Play DVD, no problem.  I can click on the Netflix plugin (once again no problem).  The question seems to exist ONLY when I select 'Internet TV'.  I don't have a TV Tuner card in the machine, as well as setting up is not an option.

  Note: I am a COMPUTER technician for over 20 years and have researched the matter only of trying many fixes that don't work not including:

  • sfc/scannow (does report no error)
  • CHKDSK (no corruption of reports)
  • reinstalled MS silverlight
  • Installed the Netflix option
  • Parameters, make sure all the General internet settings are selected correctly
  • Disabling the firewall/AV
  • Change Windows MCE receiver opening Service of the Local Service Network Service logon

  Except to call Microsoft and forking over $99 - nobody knows what is the cause?

  Additional information:

  After starting Windows Media Center, and then selecting TV + movies, under the heading Internet TV a bit dimmed it says "BETA".  Not sure if this has something to do with it.  Also on my laptop which has Windows 7, the Windows Media Center interface is different and seems to work without problems.  What gives?

  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance!

  Hello chisox05matt,

  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers Site.

  You can check with the device manufacturer for more information about recording and playback. This can occur if the video was recorded in landscape mode. Try to change the display or orientation in software video editing for playback in Windows Media Center or Windows Media player.

  In addition, you can also see the thread below that contains information about a similar problem.

• How can I get files mp4 video to appear in genres other than the kind of 'The other' in Windows Media Center?

  Hello

  I have mp4 video files that I can't to the list under the genres that I want to do in Windows Media Center.

  I have the list of the kind I want them to appear as in the Details section on the right of the video click, but in the movies section, they appear under the type 'other '? Why?

  Do I need a '. '. XML data file"to make it work?

  I noticed all movie files that can take the date meta online have 2 to 3 "." XML files"in their records. These video files appear under the genres as they should.

  I tried to make one. XML file for the video files that can't dry meta data online but they always appear under 'Other' type only.

  I need more than 1. XML meta data file? If I do what they are and how can I do it myself?

  Can someone lead me to a site that explains how all the. Meta data files XML that I need to make this work.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I did a long time ago and it does not help.

  However, I found a solution.

  'Master Media Center' (free version of the program) will download the XML MetaData files and place them in the folder of video/film. This will force even make a MetaData XML file if it cannot find anything online.

  Apparently, Windows Media Center uses XML files to determine what kinds of display movies under.

  Without a metadata file XML Media Center will put the video file in the type 'Other' even if you wrote a kind under details.

  Now, if I can get my Windows Media Center to stop crashing when I open "Movies!
