Why there is no service on my windows media player play

I can't find the button "play to" wmp on my media player is updated, but there is no button "play to" where all the help guides show that it is. I tried several of the help guides provided by microsoft, but you still can't find the button "play to" any help would be greatly appreciated

Weird?

The button appears on mine, but you can use it in 'Streaming' is turned on, and the PC can connect to your multimedia device (TV in my case).

If you right click on a file (photo or video, etc.) in WMP, then 'Play To' appears?

Additional information - http://www.everything-microsoft.com/2009/10/29/windows-7-guides-using-play-to-in-wmp-12/

It may be an error in WMP or even course, so have you tried the old UN-install/Reboot/reinstall WMP to see if that helps? - http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/26107/how-to-reinstall-windows-media-player-in-windows-7-to-solve-problems/ and/or convenience stores of WMP - , to the search type "Troubleshoot" (without the quotation marks) in "Troubleshooting" click results click on "programs" and look at convenience stores of player three media (esp delivery to zero one), to see if they find and then fix anything.

PS - the search around, I just found this tip for another ' play to ' problem on WMP12.

1 closed WMP12.
2. go into [Control Panel-> system] Services and safety-> administration-> Services tools
3. Locate the service named "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service"
4. stop the Service manually.
5 locate the "UpnP device host" service Stop the service and restart it.
6. start 'Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service' now.
7. close the control panel and all the windows. Open Windows Media Player... make a right click on a playlist and see if the Play option lists the TV. Try to play now... He started playing for me at this point!


While the symptoms were not the same as yours, it may be useful to at least check the services are listed and started.

  • 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.

    Thank you

  • Why are my fuzzy HD videos in Windows Media Player full-screen?

    When I downloaded my videos I wanted them in HD so I used a converter to convert videos in HD. When I play in Windows Media Player, it is blurred. I played it to players like DAplayer, Divx Player, VLC Player, Freesmith Player, and Windows Media Player. I noticed that if I play the video in how it was originally without convert HD he plays well, but it depends on whether or not the video is in HD right from the start. If it wasn't in HD from the beginning, when I first downloaded the video then it will not be in HD. Why this phenomenon happens and is there a way to fix it. Also, if I play the HD video that is converted in a small screen, it plays in HD. If it is full screen it's blurry.

    It depends on the resolution on the downloaded video and the native resolution of your screen. If the movies are 320 x 240 or 640 x 480 (or even smaller size), and that your monitor is 1600 x 900 or similar larger, then the full screen video will be blurred, no matter what you do. It's the same thing as taking a wallet-sized photo and blow up to 8 x 10. The pixels are stretched to the point of not be smoother.

  • I can copy music to a CD - R or must there be a CD - RW using Windows Media Player?

    Can I copy music from a file on my computer to a CD - R or must there be a CD - RW? I use Windows Media Player. I've done it before, but it has been so long I don't remember if I used Windows Media Player or Roxio CD software that I used to have. I want to be able to use the CD in my car. I copied a CD purchased in-store music to my computer and now I want to make a copy.

    Thank you

    CD - R is very good.  The only difference between the two is that the written warning is much slower to write, but can be reused on a limited number of times.

  • Why Windows Media Player plays the song wrong when I click it in a playlist?

    I did a huge selection automatically (with 145 songs) with five-star is Windows Media Player 12 in Windows 7 on my Dell XPS L702X.

    So, let's say that I want to hear "Everybody Hurts [edit]" r.e.m. I click on n, it starts WMP play "Slips through my fingers" by Agneta Fältskog!
    He plays another song which is 24 positions above!
    At first, it used only for touch me when I was sorting the songs in the playlist by Genre, Album, year, etc... But now, even with the contributing artist, he played another song!
    The only way for her to play the song I want is with some navigation arrow keys or when I clicked on the playlist and I'd get a unsorted list. With the unsorted list, I find the song.
    It's a difficult problem, but I have a temporary solution. But please try to find an answer!
    EDIT: now at random. Unsorted perspective will give me wrong songs and the artist's view contributing sort will give me good music! What a mix! Say that it is a "re - Mix"!
