• Why windows media Center can't find my music files?

  All my music is stored on a drive separate expansion and Windows Media Center has this drive configured as the search for the music folder but it is not picking up all the tracks in folders.  EG - on a single CD folder it shows only 3 of 14 titles available.  I tried to re - select the folder of extensible file again, but it still captures all the tracks?

  Hi SandraRatcliffe,

  (1) since when are you facing this problem?

  I suggest you to remove the Windows Media Center data store. To do this, follow the steps mentioned below

  (a) exit any running instance of Windows Media Center.

  (c) %SYSTEMDRIVE%\ProgramData\Microsoft\eHome\mediaCenterDataStore.db

  To remove the file, follow these steps:

  (d) click on start, then run.

  (e) in the Open box, type run and then click OK

• Windows Media Center can't find digital signals

  Why microsoft is located on their products

  I have the media center of vista and I can not get digital signal; I searched for 3 hours trying to find updates or what ever may help and what I find is a stupid idea and eventually find a Ko but it is not for my product!

  Microsoft then why no update for media center don't why no help substantal for media center. Why do you persist in telling lies on the products (vista, media center) when they just are garbage?

  I have the media center of vista and I can not get digital signal...

  I don't know if this reflects the problems you are having, but I had a similar problem with Windows 7 Media Center and my Tuner of TV Hauppauge WinTV HVR950Q. I know that I have entered digital HD but Media Center it would not recognize despite repeated attempts and various configuration changes. Finally, in total exasperation I changed my position of my real Canadian position at one South of the 49th parallel (e.g. American). My digital signal was instantly recognized within the TV configuration.

  Someone needs to inform Microsoft that the Canada in digital TV effect and actually had digital broadcast metropolitan centres required by law since August 31, 2011. Maybe the program should be renamed media library.

• Windows Media Center won't play DVD

  Windows Media Center won't play DVD. This program has played these exact DVD in September. These DVDs can be played on other devices. Error message indicates that there is a problem with the decoder, but don't tell me the code of error message. 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 "lost" the codec in the month. 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.

  Hello cowgurlup55,

  In addition to the response of Santosh, please relay if the problem occurs when you play a DVD or a single. Please also relay if the same problem occurs when you try to play the DVD with Windows Media Player.

  In addition, if you have an extra DVD decoder installed, then try to update the DVD decoding software.

• Windows Media Center cannot detect the error DVD Windows Media Center cannot detect a DVD in the DVD - ROM drive. Insert a video DVD into the drive

  Original title: why Windows Media Center does not detect my DVD?

  I built my computer motherboard ASUS P658D, Intel i7 processor clocked at 2.6 gHz, 12 GB RAM, 750W Corsair PWR. power, Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit & ie9. When I put or the other two DVDs in one of two DVD players, Windows Media Center appears and when I click on "Play DVD" Media Center give me a window that says:

  "Windows Media Center cannot detect a DVD in the DVD - ROM drive. Insert a video DVD in the drive." Two DVDs, I've tried are educational for DVD

  my Nikon D300 Digital camera and a family video DVD or both these very well play in a bed of same computer running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, & ie8.

  I tried Microsoft Fixit, no help. I tried to send Microsoft Support, and I got NO HELP. I did not bring any changes, and installed any program, just

  scoured the internet. A DVD player is a Sony Optarc with Microsoft Driver, the other is ASUS. I also tried to use Windows Media Player but nothing

  rises or it returns me to Windows Media Center and it does not detect to play either of my DVD. How can I get help here, or from Microsoft? Thank you.

  No, there is no yellow warning in Device Manager and the device manager says that two DVD players work properly. Mr. Fix it's

  automated download from microsoft that is supposed to automatically fix some problems, but he provided no help here. I think it is more likely

  that there is a problem with Windows Media Center or Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and either of my two new Sony DVD drives

  and ASUS.

  I thought my way in a solution. My thought was: Device Manager indicates DVD players work properly and both are new and we're Sony, and the other ASUS so I think only an unlikely problem with readers. The problem is with Windows Media Center "do DETECTED is not the DVD. So there must be a problem with Windows Media Center. I thought that I might need to reinstall Windows 7... then I thought that maybe if I just reinstall Windows Media that will work. He did. My problem was:

  Start > Panel > programs and features > features on or off Windows activate > then uncheck the box for multimedia functions > restart the computer > and then re-check the box to restore the multimedia features > now both discs play both DVDs, I tried. Both disks are operating normally. Reinstall the characteristics of media Windows 7 resolved the problem. Thanks to all who offered solutions.

• Windows 7 Media Center can't find my DLNA certified DMP (an LG BD390 Blu - ray player model network).

  I have a Player LG Blu - ray wireless connected to my home network.  Configuration of the network connection to the format Blu - ray says it is successful, and it is capable of downloading movies on the shared internet connection.  My management software from the network router (WRT610N model) Cisco Linksys® Network Magic Pro displays the Blu - ray player on its network card device.  LG Blu - ray player is a certified DLNA DMP (digital media player) device and the software supplied LG Nero MediaHome 4 (Server DLNA media graduate) successfully concludes the LG Blu - ray device when it starts.  So far, I've been unable to get the Windows 7 Media Center (supposed to be a media graduate DLNA server) to find my network Blu - ray player.  But the problem is more than just that the Media Center do not find my network device, even the 7 network and sharing Center window is not this network device when I select «View full map»  When I go to printers and devices on Windows 7 and select 'Add a device', it does not find my device of network Blu - ray player that passes by the Cisco Network Magic software and Nero MediaHome 4 software.  So what prevents the network of Microsoft Windows 7 software and Media Center software to my LG Blu - ray network player?

  Media Center Extender technology owns and uses any DLNA.
  I don't know why Umesh from Microsoft Support thought it was possible. You
  will not be able to set up your Blu Ray drive as an Extender. You CAN use

• Windows Media Center won't add DVD files to its library which do not affect the disk C on Vista

  Hi people,

  I had Media Center works well with more than 104 GB of movies in the library.

  I ran out of disk space and a 1.5 TB drive was added to the system.

  Once this new space has been initialized, I moved all film to him records and updated the path in Media Center to 'Look' that new folder.

  Media Center can no longer see or read these films.

  I deleted all the files associated with the WMP 11 app (APPDATA\Local\Microsoft\Media player to rebuild the DB but no difference.

  Does anyone know how to activate the Library Media Center pull in DVD files outside the C drive?

  Thank you
  Derek

  Holy Cow,

  I just found the answer in an article at www.paraesthesia.com/archive/2008/09/12/how-to-set-up-a-dvd-library-in-windows-media.aspx

  The library 'Add folder' does not work in the Menu 'Settings' of Media Center.

  On the other hand, it works via a right click on the window of DVD library.

  IE: when you're in the Livrary DVD, right-click and choose Add movies.

  This is a bug not documented in Media Center!

• Windows Media player or Windows Media Center can be used as a upnp client?

  Windows Media Player / Center to Winbdows 7 as a UPNP client?

  I'd really like to have this question answered for once and all. Can the Player Windows Media center to Win 7 be used as a upnp client? I want to use it to play movies on a HD support connected to my router. The router has a Media Server enabled on it which can broadcast video using upnp. I can find the folders on the hard drive and use them in my libraries in Windows Media Center, but if I'm not mistaken, that is not streaming and can be glitch. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
  Anyway can someone please carlify?
  Thanks in advance!

  I can't tell exactly what you want to do for sure. It looks like you want
  Windows Media Center to be able to read music and media of any computer your
  network. To do this in Media Center, you must add these other records
  places explicitly or in Media Center (using Windows Media
  Player/Libraries in Windows 7).

Windows Media Center is supposed to do, but it does not work. Maybe the problem is on the side of uPnP server, however since I can't find all the options in WMC linked to this, I can't make that assumption immediately.

• Windows Media Center has stopped finding the info guide

  I have Windows Media Center in Windows 7

  It worked very well for a few years, but about 2 months ago it stopped to show the guide.

  When I set to manually record a string at a certain point it works very well.

  I also think that, when I looked in the section regular programs, it shows programs at the request of record (I can check to confirm cela if nec.), but when I go on the Guide grid, maybe 1 or 2 channels appear and IE not avaiable

  I have confirmed that the time is correct and tried to restart, and refresh the guide - but nothing has worked.

  I contacted Zap2It - but they said that it is the Windows Media Center, causing the problem. -any help is appreciated.

  FYI - I just did a full rescan of the tuner and channels - and now it works.

• Using an ATI TV Wonder HD 750 PCIe and the Media Center can't find the analog signals of the conductor not to use a decoder

  I just installed a diamond ATI TV Wonder HD 750 PCIe on my 64 bit Windows 7 system (it's actually the second tuner card I tried) and still get the same problem. Media Center recognizes the card and both tuners analog and digital, but fails the analogue listening. I get digital very well. I tried to add a channel manually and still no luck. I use cable TV with no cable box and tested the signal on my TV and receive all channels.

  I also downloaded the latest Diamond driver and installed all updates more recent windows.

  In Media Center, I tried to automaticlly and manually select my signal and each combination, but available with no luck.

  Can you please help

  Rob

  
  Because, for an analog tuner, Media Center requires that said tuner is an MPEG2 Encoder (or that the manufacturer creates a software encoder which emulates this.)  The Theater HD 750 chip is not this, and it seems (after some looking) that ATI has not created a software encoder (side note: they are unlikely to do so, because they left the tuner market.)

  Out of curiosity, what was the 'other tuner"which has been tried before?

  Honestly, my recommendation would be to return the tuner (if possible) and get a combo tuner or hybrid that is known to work properly.  My first recommendation would be for a Hauppauge HVR-2250 (Council dual combo/hybrid), because it works wonderfully in MC as a tuner NTSC/Clear-QAM of combo/hybrid.  MC knows how to treat as what it is, and it works very, very well (I have not one.)

  That, or an AverTV Combo G2 (which is not as flexible as the ' 2250, where its slightly lower price.)
