• Windows Media Player library sharing request

  I received a request to share Windows Media Player library. I'm not on a network. Is this some type of malware or something? How should I handle this? A month ago, I received a similar request for iTunes sharing Jeremy-PC. Help, please. My computer has been hacked?

  You're invited because you are on a network, this is a security feature of Windows.

  I assume that you have chosen the option to not share when asked?

  You can safely share if you know who you are sharing with (if you know who is Jeremy-PC)

  If you prefer not to share with who you can disable media sharing.

  To activate:

  When you are connected to the internet, go to: Control Panel, network and sharing Center.

  Expand the sharing of multimedia files, click on edit, if media sharing is currently disabled, there will be a popup.

  If you check the share my media, then click OK, you get another popup.

  Here you can highlight the computers on the network and allow or deny.

  If you click settings, you can choose what you want to share.

• need help with Windows media player library

  I have duplicate in my media player library files, probably because my drive external hard drive letter changes when I turn it on and based on what I plugged my USB ports. Is it possible that I can get media player to update my library and remove the duplicates that exist no more. I don't want to have to do all the one at a time and try to guess which ones are duplicates and those that are really

  No guarantees...

  This method worked for a user who has posted a similar question. I can't find the thread more, but I gave this person the following response...

  Open WMP > tools > Options > Library tab > under "Automatic media information updates for files,", put a dot blue radio 'Add only missing information ' (if the blue dot is already there, UN - dot, then re - a point it) > OK

  Hope this works for you as well.

• Media Player library

  How can I move music from iTunes to windows 7 media player library > all the research I did only make me move the music to the playlist. I can not move from the playlist to the library either. Just playing them does not add them to the library. I have also moved into my office, but can, t move from there either. Help, please!

  Hi - I'm back with a refreshed brain cell!

  The reason why you can not see "create mp3 version" will be because the settings have not yet been changed! (I forgot which yesterday.)

  Open your iTunes player... .in the LH window click on 'Edit' and select 'Préférences' from the drop... a box will appear.

  In the lower middle section cd you will see "Import settings" - click and in the upper drop-down list (using the side of the small arrow HR) select "MP3 encoder" and then in the box below, you can choose what quality convert you to. You can choose which setting to use here... I'd certainly go for 192 Kbps , which is the highest speed offered directly. Personally, I use the "custom" setting - another box appears and offers a full range - I use 256 Kbps * which is comparable to the typical rate of a downloaded title. Click OK to exit the boxes when it's done

  Now when you right click on one of your songs, you should see "create mp3 version" - this on all ten titles you have purchased and I really hope that they will be included in wmp. (If it's not there is a decoration of library who need adjustment!)

• Unable to see the new files from the external hard drive in Windows Media Player library

  Original title: music is dead

I noticed if you click file, and then manage libraries, and then the music lets me add my Ext. harddrive (e drive) to the library list. on a computer it support of new music and videos found on the hard drive, on two computers it just music, so I downloaded a song and a video on the hard drive, plugged into the computer and media player says that it has been updated of library, and yet there they never found the new files. Why have they changed? XP was so easy. new is not always better!

• Media player library automatically updated of the .mp4 files

  My Media Player library auto-updates to update when new files are downloaded / place in my target files, except files with the extensions .mp4.  When the reader is closed and reopened, low right corner says this Media Player updates the library and never - failing all the .mp4 files.

  These files require me to go in the management of libraries and to delete the shared folder, and then re - ad, which becomes tedious with so many files.  Is there a way to fix this?

• Windows media player library

  My media player library does not allow me to delete files and it always trys to update. There is a folder called D:, users, rodger, videos that no longer exists, but it won't let me get rid of it and I have a full library of icons that point to this old disc and will not play or allow me to delete. How can I solve this problem. Should I remove the old installation and reinstall media player 12

  Hi rodgeallen

  Try this fixit automated tool that aims to solve the problems of the library like the one you describe. If this does not work, you can save you external media files disk and uninstall and reinstall a new copy of WMP 12 as a last resort.

• Backup of Media Player library content

  I understand how to save a playlist in Media Player in My Documents / my music but how do you back up all the content of the Media Player library?

  My library is currently on my XP computer and I want to transfer to my new computer Windows 8.1.  My plan was to copy my music on an external hard drive folder but I can't figure out how to get all my music from Media Player on this issue in one fell swoop.  This problem has always bugged me whenever I made a systematic backup on my computer but I never had the time to ask the question so far.

  On the other hand, is there another method to transfer all my music between machines?

  Thank you.

  Well, no one else has developed a response, but I see that there are at least 2 more of you out there with this problem and I think I have fixed it myself so I'll put what I have done.

  I already had my Playlists folder in My Documents / my music and chose to use it, but do your own choice where you want to save the library.

  In WMP, select all the songs
  Click on the first entry
  A CTRL on the keyboard to select the entire list
  Drag the first entry to the playlist pane, and the rest will follow
  Click selection without a title, give it a name, select "save under" and scroll to my Document / my music / my Playlists (or anywhere where you want to store)
  Save

  I was sure that I had tried this before without success this time it worked.

  I posted what was essentially this question in another thread and received an answer that seems to say that it was not necessary to do so and that all the user in WMP files are already stored on my computer, but they did not specify where and I was unable to locate so using this method took my mind at rest even if she turns out to be useless.  If I find out additional info I'll update this thread.

  Hope this has been useful.

• Try to remove deleted files from the Media Player library

  There are video files in my Windows Media Player library that I deleted, but items still appear in my video library.  When I right click on the file and choose 'Remove', nothing happens.  The video files were originally in the folder my music and I deleted them using the Explorer.  However, they still appear in the Media Player library (even if they are not functional - because I have deleted!).  I followed what Umesh suggested GregRN, but that doesn't seem to work for me.  How can I get rid of deleted files appear in the Media Player library?   I use a HP Pavilion dv4 using Windows 7 (64-bit).

• I deleted the files in computer music but they always appear in the media player library.

  original title:

  I deleted the files in computer music but they always appear in the media player library. When I try to remove/delete, nothing happens. run convenience store and he said that my library is corrupt. How can I fix it? I want to just erase all the library song! They do not even play because I already deleted files from computer!

  Hello

  1st solution of Tim De Baets:

  "You probably need to reset the library to get rid of the files in the library. Note firstly reset the library will make you lose all play counts and ratings too. Then, follow these steps:

  -Restart the PC.
  -Click Start, type services.msc in the search field and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service . If its status is started , double-click the service, and then click stop .
  -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
  -In this folder, rename the folder Media Player as Old Media Player . If you do not see the folder, then it is probably hidden. Set Explorer to view the hidden files and folders and show protected system files.
  -Launch WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt. »

• Media Player Library question after the drive letters changed - Solution found

  I wanted to share a solution to a problem that I found and after searching on Google, I found no answer.  But after some perseverance I managed to fix it myself.

  I installed Win 7 & got to read all of my media files in WMP12, no problem.  However, I changed the drive letters on drives where my video, music and photo files were required, then lost all the details of the library.

  I thought I could rebuild the media player library by updating the files included in the relevant libraries, but it did not work.  I tried various other corrections posted (mainly by deleting all files in WMP library so he could rebuild), but without success.  What I found worked was:

  Close WMP and Media Center
  Remove all the libraries (music, pictures, video) file paths, so no files have been included.
  Run Regedit
  Search for all references to the old drive letter paths & modify registry data show new car path (for example, my music was on E:\My music, after assigning new drive letter, as it's on the music of H:\My, so I searched for all instances of music E:\My replace E) : by: :)
  Restarted
  A run WMP
  Added the new path of the folder in the library
  Hey presto, he began to rebuild the music library!

  Hope this helps someone else that I spent several hours of frustration of trying to understand this one!

  Thank you. A few trips to REGEDIT and I finally found him. There were two places «...» Of the Shell folders' and '... User Shell Folders ". After making sure that both had updated letters my multimedia files are fluid in. Thanks again!

• Software BlackBerry BlackBerry Link cannot display Windows Media Player library

  Hello

  BlackBerry link shows me an empty m usic library even if I have thousands of tracks in my Windows Media Player library. There was a time, it worked, but since a month Blackberry link displays a message: "there is no track in your Windows Media Player library. I reinstalled the software a bunch of times and have always chosen the Windows Media Player - not have iTunes installed. All other functions operate.

  Anyone an idea what to do?

  Thank you very much!

  Kilian

  Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 (64-bit)

  BlackBerry link 1.2.3.48 (32 bit)

  BlackBerry OS 10.2.1

  Windows Media Player 12.0 (32 bit)

  Solved it myself:

  I deleted the Windows Media Player library database (= all files in the C:\Users\NAMEOFTHEUSER\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media drive) - therefor I had to close all programs (all programs BB, the wmplayer and wmplayer network service). After the removal of the database, Windows Media Player has revamped its database and link BB finds the database.

  How can I fix my Media Player as it says I can't play some files as it is corrupt, I'm not very computer im still learning.i tried the troobleshooter but it is not solved the problem.

  Hello

  Open the troubleshooter in the Windows Media Player library

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-Windows-Media-Player-library-Troubleshooter

  Method2: It would be possible that the files in the directory that stores Media Player may contain corrupted data. Go to the following directory and delete all the files in the folder. Test if the problem recurs.

  %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media Player

  Note: Please save the contents of the directory first.

  Method 3: Reinstall Windows Media Player

   

  As a last resort, try to uninstall and reinstall Windows Media Player.

  This version fixes most of the problems of corruption of Windows Media Player.

  Note that uninstalling Windows Media Player 12 also disables Windows Media Center because WMC uses WMP12 to its operation.
