• "created the slideshow" inside loop problems (Windows Media Center) during playback

  Why didn't Windows Media Center during playback of a repeat of the start file "slideshow created with music" and / or "loopback", with only the first 20 or so (on perhaps a 100 total on the full slideshow) slides or photos over and over again without showing the rest of the majority of the slides at all?

  Hey trasel,.

  Unfortunately, it is not possible to include another small video clip for an existing video on which you have already created.

  However, you can create a new slide and add it to the existing one.

• Windows Media Player volume control does not work during DVD playback.

  When I play a DVD in Windows Media Player or Windows Media Center I can't adjust the volume with the volume control of the program or main Windows volume control.  Simply sound 100% flight.  It's on a HTPC connected to an A / V recevier, so the only way to adjust the sound with the volume of the receiver control.  When I play any other type of multimedia (avi, mp3, etc.) in the two WMP or WMC in the program volume control is working properly.  The interesting part is, when I play a DVD using VLC Player or Cyberlink Power DVD the volume setting in the program as well as the main Windows volume control works correctly.  This leads me to believe it's a software is not a hardware problem.  I think that WMP and WMC using the same "engine" so the same problem knocking them both.

  Other info:

  Windows 7 64-bit.

  Windows Media Player 12 version

  Audio is routed to the receiver via the digital coaxial

  For what it's worth, this same problem occurred with the same exact material when I'm running Vista 32 bit.

  All other software is the latest version with all updates installed.

  Any ideas are welcomed and appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  Reinstall the WMP and WMC application and see if it works very well.

  1. open the Control Panel -> programs and features.

  2. click on Windows to enable or disable features in the left pane.

  3 expand the multimedia features, disable Windows Media Player. Click Yes to continue, and then click OK to exit. Then restart.

  Note: If you turn off your WMP, Windows Media Center will be off either. You may need to reconfigure the settings for Windows Media Center after her reactivation.

  4. open or turn off Windows features turn on again. Functionality in Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center. Turn it back on.

  5. launch Windows Media Player, initialize the program.

  PS: If you turn off your WMP, Windows Media Center will be off either. This does not happen when we choose to turn off MCE.

• Issues of Media Center in Windows 7 (Pro) & questions

  I tried to add movies (files) to Media Center, but it does not work.
  I select the (local) drive, then click on the folder (where are my movie files), then next, but it does not add.  Why can't we just TYPE in something like that?  And why this menu seems to go to sleep?  My system partitions a WEI 7.8 and I click on a menu item and the software just sits there for a few seconds, then responds.  Where was all this time?

  All my movies have very useful and consistent file names.  How do I get MMC to view THOSE and not the odd internal name in the files of brand somehow?

  Is it possible to associate a poster of film or jpg with each film so the inscription looks better?  Now, it's a bunch of blocks of sickly aspect (who chose these colors?).

  When you watch movies, MMC insists on sending audio directly to the optical output, bypassing the volume/mixer Windows and the volume control in Media Center.  The + - at the bottom does absolutely nothing!  Execution of Media Player Classic - Home Cinema, I have total control of the volume, as for all the rest.

  There is a scroll bar?  They make it easier to jump around in the media file.

  I run Media Center (on a system with two screens) and it goes full screen.  The mouse is stuck on this screen.  Why?

  On another Win 7 (Premium) system with a TV tuner, how I record TV on my data disc?  The boot drive is much smaller, and since I regularly back up, I like to keep all the data off of it and on a table.  I wish that my machine "DVR" record TV shows on that second most "drive" too.

  Must Media Center be run to have a programmed recording to arrive?  (I know that the computer must be on).  I guess what I'm asking is if Media Center includes a service that runs in the background, time and the timing of registration, monitoring and who uses Media Center or the utility to record at the right time.  If Media Center is open and running, it is adjustable to open reduced?

  Thanks to all who can offer clues with all this.

  During a Media Center, go to tasks.

  Then TV > recorder > recorder storage

  Change the drive where Media Center records there.

  Media Center is not need to be run to record TV, it will record what you have planned in the background.

  You could try to control Windows Media Center via Control Panel / programs and features / Turn Windows Features on or off / multimedia / Windows Media Center, make sure that it is checked.

  System Restore will not uninstall or reinstall your entire operating system, take your machine over time until the selected restore point (you choose) and load Windows from this date and time.  Programs and updates that have been installed since that date and time are no longer available and need to be reinstalled.  System Restore will also leave you a "Undo" restore point which allows you to return to the present before the start of any restoration.  It also gives you an option to check what effect the return to a previous era will have on your program installed, etc..  It does not affect your personal data, applies only the settings, system files, programs, drivers, and updates.

• Media Center works with Comcast (PACE) DC50Xu?

  I use Windows Media Center on Vista with a tuner Hauppauge 1950, with a kit remote control Windows Media Center with a DC50Xu of Comcast (PACE). While I can see the TV via Media Center, I can't have the Media Center to learn the codes for the Comcast DTA remote. I learned that the Comcast remote uses the XMP Protocol.

• Microsoft Media Center remote with pace DC50X 1039, Setup box cannot change channel

  Can I use Vista Media Center to record only TV etc...
  Recently I had to use a configuration of Comcast Digital adapter carrier (DC50X) in order to get access to the channels.

  Vista recognize the Remote Setup Box, but it is not able to change the channels of the Remote Microsoft.

  On this page: http://mythtv.org/wiki/MCE_Remote I have the 3rd remote from left to right.

  I contacted PACE (the author of the configuration box) with the following response:
  ". The DC - 50 X uses a new remote protocol called XMP. Check to see if it can emit IR codes using the XMP Protocol.
  "If you use Microsoft remote issue codes using the XMP Protocol, it will not work with the DC 50 x"

  Anyone know if Microsoft Remote is able to use the XMP?

  Someone knows how the Media Center as the configuration box to change the channel?
  It looks like, it uses IR (due to the extra step of IR with the configuration box).

  If you have a WMC working with the DC50X, what is your Setup, what version of the distance, whats is your hardware configuration?

  My tuner (Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-500) can see the image, the sound is fine.

  Any help would be much appreciated.

• Volume of notification & media settings...

  Hi guys I'm new to this forum and I am looking for some advice/help.
  I just got my z3 and updated to the recent update. Now, before this update I had a play around as you do and I have to admit, I really like the phone and functions. So, I advanced and updated the software. After doing this, I noticed that some of the features that I really liked, for example the mute disappeared. No problem, I discovered that you can just use the volume button to do this. However I've read on the whole volume control operates media and message.
  So my question is, these are distinguished by setting the volume of messages without affecting the volume of your media or should I keep the volume control each time I finished watching or listening to a multimedia file in order for me to hear my message notifications?

  Hope someone on Sony can answer that.

  No @revsi the ring volume is related to the volume of notification.
  The volume of the media is a separate slider.
  GoTo settings/sounds and notifications that you have a cursor of volume with the ringer alarm.
  If you watch a YouTube video and turn down the volume. Your ring volume will still be high.
  If you do not listen to any media to help the volume keys will then change the ring volume. Hope this helps

  I don't know if the Upgrade Advisor can really help me.  I have a m8200n and it is runnin vista Home premium.  Currently, it works very well for me and I'm not really bothered that much by vista.  I don't want to risk an upgrade and have problems.  I prefer to do a clean install on a new drive sata hard...  As I try to run ideally as a 64-bit system.   Is it possible that I can know for sure if I fail to do that?  Cost me $199 at least for an OEM version of Windows 7 Professional over at least $100 for a decent 1 TB SATA HDD... $300 to be a Guinea pig is a lot of money when I could buy a whole new machine starting around this price?  What is your opinion on the m8200n?  I like to use the remote control that comes with it to control Windows Media Center to record...  Help?

  Remote control works with the home edition Premium, professional, full and business editions of Windows 7. This is because Media Center is included only in these 4 versions of Windows 7.

• Media Center crashes during video playback of need to hard reboot.

  Hi, any help would be greatly appreciated as this has been driving me crazy for several days of attempted troubleshooting, Googling, try many things to fix it... first of all let me apologize in advance for the length of my post but I wanted to give as much information as possible to help anyone trying to rule out things...!

  OK, so the problem...

  I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit as a clean install on my HTPC, after the first do a complete 1 & 0 format of the hard drive that had previously installed Vista Home Premium, installation went well and I proceeded to install all updates to Windows, and then update drivers for all my hardware.

  The system is used only as a HTPC, it's my only TV and video playback device, (so reliability is essential for me) and it is connected to a defintion of Sony, 44 "Widescreen Rear Projection TV Standard, via S-video, with audio goes to a system DD/DTS 5.1 Surround Sound Speaker Logitech z5500, via a sound card by using the optical cable (specifications of the complete system below).  The system worked flawlessly more of one year using Vista SP1 32 - bit, until I upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate on the hardware configuration identical.

  Since installing Windows 7, it worked fine for the first week, not a single problem, I am housebound are disabled so that the system is in continuous service 24/7 and he had no problems in the first 10 days, however all of a sudden I'm getting now random freezes requiring a hard reset , but it occurs during video playback of any of my 3 hard disks, or when you try to play a DVD in Media Center. Which led me to think it is associated video (problem of driver or hardware fault) card, disc or HARD associated.

  Frost can occur sometimes, after a few minutes of reading, or sometimes after a few hours, requiring a restart of the hard to get the sytem to answer.

  Reading of the TV via the TV Tuner card is not affected, its only when playing of stored content (MPEG2, h264 .mkv .avi files or DVD) are all media SD HD and all played fine for the first few days.

  Intermittent freezes occurring could block the system completely freeze the image and audio and all activities, nothing would work at all, I tried windwos keyboard, ctrl alt del, nothing at all, to do a reboot hard to recover the system, it can then be either minutes or sometimes an hour before the same thing happens again. I tried to use different video files in the case of the corruption of files, different DVD to exclude damaged disks, same result.

  System includes:

  1. Map - mother ASUS M3A32 - MVP Dlx, Socket AM2 +, 790FX/SB600 chipset, BIOS v.2003

  All the material above has had pilots upated since the sites of respective manufacturers, including BIOS of motherboard, chipset, graphics card, network card, sound card, card TV, keyboard (Logitech Setpoint) etc... etc...

  All of the above software has been installed by using the latest available versions downloaded from the manufactuer sites, which claim to support Windows 7 and all have been updated regularly since its installation.

  I have tried many of the suggestions I've seen posted to try to solve this problem, including:

  1. Uninstalling and reinstalling Media Center and WMP
  2. Disabling subtitles in Media Center
  3. Disable unused mobo onboard devices in the BIOS
  4. Update BIOS
  5. Updated all drivers
  6. Disabling Control Panel Nvidia PhysX
  7. Disabling the Enhanced Sound features for reading devices
  8. Run CCRegistry cleaner
  9. Run many Virus scans nomral mode and safe - no problems found
  10. Don't run the Checkdisk on all HARD drives - no problems found
  11. Run the SeaTools Diagnostic tools for HARD drives - all disks HARD discover OK
  12. Tried playing files AVI of HDD separated to avoid a HARD drive problem - same problem occurs on all readers
  13. I tried change graphics card for an ATI HD4850 with the latest ATI drivers - same problem.
  14. Tried to change the audio output S/PDIF instead of Xonar Soundcard onboard - same problem occurs
  15. Tried the Windows 7 repair facility - problem persists.
  16. Tried to uninstall all updates of Windows -same problem
  17. I tried the system restore to before the occurrence of the problem started - no help
  18. tried to re-downlaoding all hardware drivers updated and re - install in the case of a corrupt driver download - no chance even problem

  Essentially none of the abvoe helped to solve this problem, and it becomes really frustrating to have to restart the PC again and again trying to watch a recorded video file or DVD.

  After remove all the above I can only assume that it is a problem with Windows 7, needing a fix of the millisecond.  At least I think that I've exhausted everything I can try... ???

  With what is my HTPC, if I can't perform reliably, I have to reinstall Vista, Vista was not the best OS, but at least it was reliable for me in terms of my HTPC.

  I was really eager to get Windows 7, I used the RTM version on my netbook for some time before I made the decision to purchase the full retail version for my HTPC, and never had any of these problems with my installation of netbook that I used for playback of media files from an external USB HDD.  So I'm really disappointed to have these problems after doing all that I could to make sure that Windows 7 would work OK.

  If anyone can give me any suggestions of what I can try, anythign I can too watching, or if someone has hada similar problem and found a solution for him... Please, please, post more details, because I am really at my wits end now and have to resort to watch the recordings on a 10.2 "screen of my netbook with some speakers of the small laptop usb, after spending so much money on my system and surround sound Setup HTPC, its devastating to think that I'll have to go back to Vista...

  Absoultely ANY suggestions would be appreciated...

  Thanks in advance for any help and once again, I'm sorry for the length of the post, if there is more information needed I've not provided above, please let me know and I will try to publish as soon as POSSIBLE...

  After the forum of scouring and reding of countless discussions, it seems, there is some sort of problem with Media Network Sharing tha could be the cause of this problem, as many people have reported that disabling wmpnetwk.exe in the Services.msc solves the problem.

  It's not an ideal solution for me, as I have a HTPC in the room that I play media from the main HTPC downstairs and all the hype MS seemed to suggest that Win 7 is it is much easier to achieve, and has been one of the main points of sale used in one of their commercials for the operating system.

  This my MS you need to pay attention to this problem and work towards a solution and allow users to know when the solution has been provided, probably have a service that must be disabled to let the operating system work reliably is quite counterproductive.

  Nobody seems to answer my post above with other suggestions and wmpnetwork.exe disable workaround was published last November, all the while still there is no permanent solution...?

  EDIT: Just to confirm this wmnetwork.exe Netwrok disabling media sharing in the services, as well as disabling the media streaming in the Netwrok Sharing Center > advanced sharing Options, solved the constant crashes for me.

  So all the MS speak of 3rd party drivers for the cards video and other material or material defects are to blame, it's total BS, the only problem is to do with Windows and Windows Media Sharing, lets hope, they decide to do something to fight it... !!

• Comcast DTA severely limits media center TV volume on two of my computers

  I completed the installation of the Comcast DTA on two computers and successfully installed the IR blaster to be able to use the Media Center remote and the cable guide.  However, the audio of TV is severely limited.  The comcast tech came out and said I should use the DTA as a tuner and its remote control.  Yes the volume comes back, but then I can't use all the Media Center including DVR functionality.

  Why the DTA is screwing the audio of the TV through Media Center?
