    Hello patv1,

    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers Site.

    In addition to the response of Azam, you can also 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.

    I hope this information is useful.

    I had posted a question on my Ext. harddrive, my windows xp Media Player recognizes new music I have add out of it, but all my computers which are used to windows 7. then I myself especially when I add the new music on the hard drive for media playyer on xp I have spend the toolbar and click on file, then click Add to library computer search and it adds to the media player library. but windows 7 does not have this option. 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!

  • M4a and M4P files don't show in the Media Player library

    Original title: display music files m4p in medial Microsoft Reader library

    My Itunes Music Library contains 1400 songs, my Media Player library shows only 20% of people.  Seems that m4p and m4a files do not show in the Media Player library.

    WMP 11 is not supported with built-in support for M4P and M4A (MPEG-4 audio) files. For the support of library and the tag for the latter, you need to install the plug-in in WMP Tag Plus .

    Note that M4P files are protected against copying, if WMP will probably not be able to read them.

    The files have already been burned on a DVD and therefore cannot be converted. However, you can download and install third-party codecs to play .m2ts files.

  • 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. »

  • Removal of Windows Media Player "Library" entries for files that I deleted

    I deleted a bunch of files of music from my computer (directly in Windows Explorer), but registration for the music files deleted still appear in my Windows Media Player "library".  I tried to right click and select 'Delete', but it does NOTHING.

    Any ideas how I get rid of these old entries. I hope I don't have to uninstall and reinstall Windows Media Player!

    SHE FOUND!

    If you have a large number of entries in doubles in your library (or if your library is duplicated), it might be better to create a new library.

    Method 1: To resolve this problem, clear the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. exit Windows Media Player.

    2. for Windows 7: click Start, run, %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player and then click on OK.

    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.
