  • DRM will not play on Windows Media Player

    For years, I've been downloading audiobooks (WMA) of Overdrive and listen to them on my computer.  The DRM has never been a problem.  Suddenly he is now.  Whenever I try to play a protected file, I get the "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem when reading this file."

    I scanned this forum and others.  I carefully and repeatedly followed the instructions given here.  I used ResetDRM (once again, repeatedly).  And the result is always the same.  I can play video files, mp3s and wma files not protected to my heart's content.  No problem.  But DRM won't work.  After that I run ResetDRM, WMP says to update software to play a DRM file.  Let him do it.  And then I get the SAME error.

    I am at a loss.  Can someone help me?  Please?

  • Question for Microsoft Support; I have a huge amount of music files .m4a that I can not play on Windows Media Player?

    Question for Microsoft Support;
    I have a LARGE amount of files music .m4a in a storage drive stand alone that I downloaded from an old Apple computer have more possession of. I can't understand how to enter these data into my old Emachines computer Windows Vista run the Media Player program. I tried to copy a few files m4a manually in the file Media Player Music folder, but they do not play. I'm not really all that computer savvy and know only the basics, I need to use my computer really. Can you give me some step by step instructions how to get these converted files or whatever it is I need to do to get them to play and to integrate properly into my library if it is possible? If this isn't the case, I'll have to go out and buy a new Apple computer for my 60 GB music collection. In the past, that I've never had no real problem shooting files to leave this computer based Vista and convert these files to my old computers Apple Itunes Player. So what's the problem with your system of guys that done anyway this such a pain in the butt? I would really like to understand what exactly is happening with this issue? It's very frustrating for me. I'm a finish Carpenter not a computer programmer. Such things should not be so difficult for someone like me to understand. All I intend to buy a really nice computer, probably in the summer and was considering a Microsoft based computer. But if this kind of problem will be spread with Microsoft products, so maybe I should reconsider. help you can offer to alleviate this problem will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you

    According to research on the Internet, Windows Media Player, atleast this is version 11 (included in Windows Vista and available for Windows XP SP2 +) cannot play Apple loseless type .m4a audio files without having to install any codecs.

    If you want to use Windows Media Player, you can follow the instructions mentioned here to install the necessary codecs and plugins.

    (In the related instructions above, in the first step talks about codecs - your .m4a files are files Apple loseless then follow the party referred to in the first stage about Apple loseless .m4a)

    Personally, I prefer using alternatives to Windows Media Player rather than installing codec packs.

    If you don't want to install codecs, download no matter what media player from "programs that open. M4A files"- Windows category list on this page.

    If you use a spare player - VLC Media Player is my choice.

  • Why Firefox 5 will not see the Windows Media Player Plugin?

    Hello useful Mozilla expert,

    When I click on a link to play a standard WMV video in Firefox 5, in the movie player window it is said 'Click here to download the'.

    When I click on 'Click here to download the plugin' in Firefox 5, I get a panel of Firefox that says I need to Windows Media Player 11, but I already Windows Media Player 12 and the browser Firefox WMP plugin installed on this computer... it worked fine in Firefox 3.6.

    If I then click to install the Windows Media Player 11 plugin, it goes to another Firefox sign that says: ' no plug-ins have been installed, Windows Media Player 11 - no available '. Then, there is a "manual install" button, and when I click, it takes me to a third party plugin site called 'InteroperabilityBridges.com' which has a plugin Firefox WMP dated April 2007 available.

    Here is the link he gives... http://www.interoperabilitybridges.com/Windows-Media-Player-Firefox-plugin-download

    When I check my Panel "programs and features" in Windows 7 on my control panel, I can see that I have already installed something called, "Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin" installed and it is dated 10/24/2010 and it is version 1.0.0.8

    Despite having already the required plugin installed and showing in my control panel, programs and features, this WMP plugin does not appear on my plugins Firefox 5 Panel. So I tried to re - install with the installer of origin and available to the above URL Setup (they seem to be the same, except my installer of origin has a date of 2010).

    I also tried the 'fix' option in the setup of the plugin... it still does not appear in Firefox 5, nor this browser will play a WMV file in the integrated test related troubleshooting page plugin Mozilla WMP player, or other pages that embedded the WMV players.

    So the question is, why is Firefox 5 demanding I install a Windows Media Player plug-in older, version 1.0.0.8 of 2007 when I have already installed...? and why it won't work?

    I went through all the troubleshooting information in Mozilla and go to the page dedicated to this subject and nothing works...

    http://blogs.technet.com/b/Port25/archive/2007/04/16/Windows-Media-Player-plug-in-for-Firefox.aspx

    What is the solution? The upgrade again for the 3rd time in the last 2 months, this is not an option... I'm tired of going through all the difficult steps of the upgrade and find what has changed and rejected another upgrade of the browser Mozilla and re - install plugins, extensions, modules and customizations and repair everything that does not work, as I always do now with Firefox 5.

    It seems that as soon as I get most things squared away in a new browser from Mozilla, then they came out with three new releases, so when I'm still struggling with the FF5 version (as I am now) there will be version 9 I get annoying constant 'reminders' upgrade to.

  • EA4500 Windows 7 can not index the files so not seen by Windows Media Player

    I install a drive on the USB port of the EA4500 and 4 files.  A music course.  I want to access this folder through my laptop wireless with Windows Media Player, but I don't get a handle on disk + 3000 songs.  A PC cable can access files, but not a wireless laptop.  I don't know where is the problem.  If I use the reader via //host/Music the star ratings are not available, but I get all the music, if I map a drive can I get star rating but only a handful of songs.  I tried to change the permission, but I can't change the permissions of the file on the Linksys.

    You should be able to change the permissions on the page of the router. Using the classic Firmware or the Linksys Smart Wifi? If you use the firmware Linksys Wifi Smart, it is under the USB storage device > access to records. If you use the classic Firmware, it's under storage > Administration. The laptop should be able to see all the files just like the office.

  • CD will not rip using Windows Media Player in windows 7

    I just had Windows 7 a few weeks ago and have had no problems until now to rip CD.

    However now it shows "windows media player is unable to extract one or more tracks from the cd.

    I went to TOOLS - OPTIONS - DEVICES - DRIVE, click on use a connection error (read both rip are default to digital) no change

    I have gone to tab EXTRACT music and tried to drag the bar in the quality of the Audio and/or modify the rip format, but when I do I get "ripping settings could not be suppied" and they reset to original settings.

    I went into the registry editor and delete the MP3 encoding rate low and still no change - it just keeps going give me the "windows media player cannot extract one or more tracks from the cd.

    any ideas?

    Open WMP

    Go to Tools - Options - Rip music and see if you have a location, that music is being ripped off. I did not when I looked, it was empty.

    Then go to organize - manage libraries - music, it should be a location of folder of music here, otherwise click on "add" button and add the music folder.

    Now do the same for the other 3 libraries, videos, pictures and recorded tv, all should have places, remove those without a location.

    try to check out again.

    I hope like me you will be out of service again.
