Thanks, Debwradyan
More details please.
Unless I hard (possible :)) ( ) this - http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/m3u8 and it - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M3U seem to suggest he can already understand? (maybe not).

Windows 7 Media Player will not update files and allow me to remove the old files of the library.
I've been deleting old audio/video files on my computer that also appear in the media player library but when I remove it from the library, it won't let me, but it gives me the options and it will show a pop window of the process he goes through to remove these old library files, but nothing to really occurs because the files remain in the library.
(I guess that Afzal post ended up somehow in the wrong thread).
To get rid of the old songs and videos in the library, you probably need to reset the media 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.

Windows media player will show it's extraction and burning, but then the burned cd does not play?
Windows media player will show it's extraction and burning, but then the burned cd does not play? Used to work properly, then a few days ago decided not to make a playable copy.
Your setting got changed if you don't burn it as audio. This is the setting you need to change...
Click the dropdown arrow in the "burn" pane and select "audio disc" and you should be ok again. R
(You will need to start over with a fresh blank disc).

Windows vista Media Player will not play mp3 or wma files

Hi rpwerner,
Please use the forum for Support of Vista,
This is a codec package from Microsoft you want to download to see if it will be useful. Also, try to update your Windows Media Player and Windows Update to get the latest version of the codec required to play the type of media.
You can also use your favorite search engine to look for codec packs available on the web to help you read the content.

Windows Media Player does not update album art and album info.
I have a desktop HP Envy h8 - 1417c 64 bit PC and I've recently updated to 8.1 of Windows (from Windows 8 - entered loaded on the PC). After the update, Windows Media Player still works fine, but it doesn't accept new information when I try to extract one of my new CDs to the library of music and album art. It search in the internet and search the correct art and information, but when you click on accept, nothing happens. CD selections simply remain blank. I can still see the info from old files and art (before the update), so I know he kept what was already ripped. I also have a vague called music editing software yet (which works with Windows 8), and he finds no more album. Also, I loaded iTunes and have no problem to find illustrations of album and info with this program. Is there something that I am missing? I can't find anyone having this same problem on the internet. Thank you.
Hello
Microsoft technical support may be able to help you, 8.1 of Windows and Windows Media Player are not HP products:

I'm running a quad core with 8 GB of windows 7 with office 2013 RAM. All are clean installs. When I try to play a video file on Media player my system breaks down and made a memory dump. This also happens when I try and put a video in PowerPoint. I am able to play these videos on QuickTime on the same machine. The videos play fine on another machine of Windows 7 office 2013. We use this system for presentations churches.
Can anyone help?
Hello
- Do you have an error message when you play this video?
- What Media Player do you use?
- Did you recent hardware or changes to the software to the computer before the show?
I suggest using Windows Media Player, then try the following steps. This problem may occur because of codecs. A codec is a software to compress or decompress a digital media file, such as a song or a video. Windows Media Player and other programs use codecs to play and create digital media files.
You can refer to the suggestion made by Rohit Chettri in the following link and check if it helps.

Windows Media Player will only play a sound with no video .avi and .mov
I started having a problem where the Windows Media Player will only play the audio portion of my .avi and .mov video files.
These files were created by my FlipCam or my Sony Handycam.
I never had problems until recently and think that it is due to some kind of Windows Update.
Both my computer and my wife's computer had the same problem and we are both using Windows XP Home Edition.
I apologize if this topic already on this forum.
Thanks for any help and advice.
CoDec = compressor decompressor.
A program is used to compress the file. You then need to unpack the file to play, you need the codec used to compress the file to decompress it on your pc.
You need DVD playing software installed to power the mpeg codec, or you can buy a codec to just run in media player.
AVI is a wrapper and may well contain more than 800 different file types, it has 800 different codecs! Thus, to read an avi file, you should know what codec was used to do and have that installed on your pc to read.
DV.avi is made with the dv codec, divx.avi is made with the divx codec.
Of course, that manufacturers make their codecs, you must make sure you have the latest being, to be able to read files made with it, so everything just because you downloaded the codec divx 12 months ago does not mean it will play files created with codecs of today!I hope this explains it is ok for you.
It surprises me that you say that you have downloaded all the updates of altest, but are still running wmp9, where we are now on WMP11 for XP and 12 for win7.
I would update my WMP version first.
Here is a page that will tell you that the codecs are on your pc and who has access to WMP 11.
http://www.myvideoproblems.com/tutorials/HowToFindCodecs.htmlHere is a page that will tell you how to know what codec was used to create the file that you are trying to watch and also if you have the right codec for it
http://www.myvideoproblems.com/tutorials/AVIcodec.htmlIt is generally accepted that the codec packs adding is a bad idea, so if you need a codec to read a certain file, google it's manufacturer and just install the one you need.
I would work just on the pc at the same time when you found what the problem is, you can fix on the other 2.
Need more help with this, just ask.

Windows media player will not play my downloaded movies.
Original title: windows media player will not play my downloaded movies, so I know very lil on computers! Please help me!
I have LimeWire. I downloaded several movies and can't watch them. When I try, it automatically showed the windows media player, and then displays a message saying "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file. "I looked for updates, perhaps thinking that I needed one, he says: there is no availiavle. I use the latest version of windows media player. any help would be greatly appreciated!
It's really a simple question, easy to fix. But if you are really not that familiar with the computer, you may want to ask a friend who knows enough to help you.
You can show it to your friend...
What you need is to 'google' for a FREE video converter.
Use the converter and changge movies in WMV file formats. (Sticking with the formats WMV, nothing else).
Once the conversion is complete, you can play these movies in your Media Player.However, there is another alternative. Install a 3rd party media player called VLC. He plays any video fromats.
Here is the download link:

Windows Media Player will not play files .avi or .mpg - Error Message: C00D1199
Windows Media Player won't play .avi or .mpg files; files which I know to be readable by Windows Media Player. In addition, this program has played these accurate files in the month of August. The files are readable on other programs. I searched other forums, but it is impossible to find an answer to this problem, except the recommendation of a codec - although I don't know how I have "lost" the codec in the past two months. Today, spontaneously and erratically, Windows Media Player recognizes the .mpg files, but not the .avi. Microsoft Security Essentials have installed and up to date, if it is not a virus. Have problems in other programs with the recognition of previously readable files. Not sure if it's related, so I'll post in separate... forums but I'll give you a link if you want to. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Media Player will read is more than Cd or DVD after a Vista update
I've recently updated the following text on my computer "Windows Vista for systems x 64 (KB968389) and Windows Vista Service Pack 2 for x 64-based systems (KB948465)"; now my Media player will read the CD or DVD. The media player will play already exsisting file. However, it did not open to place the CD or DVD in the drive.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you John for answer... Unfortunately, there is no change at this time. Could it be possible that by updating Vista with these comply with the provisions mentioned is, updates, it could have damaged my driver? I remember as the update has been filling that I was informed that it can cause some drivers to malfunction. Any thoughts?
Thank you.
