• Windows Media Center won't play video, but Windows Media Player will be?

  I'm reading a video .avi with the xvid codec. I installed the codec earlier and it plays fine in Windows Media Player, but when I try to play in Windows Media Center, it indicates that one or more codecs are required to play this file, but they cannot be found. I know I would just watch with Windows Media Player instead of Media Center, but I want to watch it on my Media Center extension (my Xbox). I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate, 64-bit. Why does Windows Media Player with this codec and Windows Media Center not work? How can I solve this problem?

  Hi Slick05_1,

  Thanks for the replies on the forum.

  Given that the Microsoft Vista Media Center and XBOX do not play the files suggest it would need to be a codec which solves the problem or maybe file conversion which would solve the problems you are experiencing.  Since the codecs for files is not something written by Microsoft, we do not have the information for that in our system.

  What I suggest is to go to your search engine preferred and in the search line and typing "is possible to play VLC on XBOX.

  WARNING:

  Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  What I suggest also done an online search using your favorite search engine for "play MKV files in Vista x 64 Media Center" to find whether there may be suggestions about codecs or these codecs created by other organizations then Microsoft.

  Please let us know if you are able to get this to work for you.

  Best regards

• How to get Vista Windows Media Center to really stop video

  During playback of a video in WMC the stop button takes me to the screen with various options beginning with 'Done '. When
  'fact' is selected the video goes into the small PIP with square stopped blue and remains here and in "Now Playing".

  How do I really stop a video rather than have him act as if he is only suspended.

  When I press 'stop' and 'fact' I want that it shut down completely.

  Hi Dazema,

  It is the occurrence of same process even in my computer when any type of video. This is normal.

  You can also pass the option to click on the left arrow to return to Windows Media Center options after stopping the video or the video playback.

  Videos that previously played by Windows Media Center (which came installed on my laptop) suddenly stopped appearing in Windows Media Center records, although some videos (very few) are always show and play exact same files on my hard drive as videos which stopped working.

  I don't know that I did something to cause this, although maybe I did, inadvertently, or certain updates or new facilities caused program.

  He also noted - I recently moved several files from my hard drive to an external drive, if it will be of any significance.

  Thank you.

  you go into media center tasks and add new locations to
  storage/libraries? some external drives can be a problem, too.
   
  best bet is a system restore. You can CANCEL a system restore if it does not work.

• Windows Media Center will not record shows?

  I just brought a new model of the series Gateway ZRX 6971, with touch screen

  I have upgraded to Windows 8 Pro

  Get the free download for Windows Media Center

  Previously recorded shows that has been saved so I still had Windows 7 has played without problems in Windows 8

  However, it won't save poster now because I have "insufficient disk space".

  But I have over 900 GB of free space!

  I tried to tweak the settings in the settings options and even tried to disable recording of HD!

  Still no luck!  Help!

  See my post "Windows 8 - record TV with Windows Media Center problem"

  The answer to my problem is in the penultimate position...

  I managed to solve it now by running a recovery job in the computer management application.

  In case anyone else has this problem, here's what I did:

  1. close Windows Media Center

  2. open the computer management application and navigate to the bottom of the tree in the left panel by selecting system tools-> Task Scheduler-> Task Scheduler Library-> Microsoft-> Windows-> Media Center

  3. at the top, the central panel find the "MediaCenterRecoveryTask" task, which should have a status of "Ready".  Right-click on the task and select run (status changes to "Running")

  4 wait for the task to do his stuff (the status does not change) then right click on the task again and select end (State dates back to "Ready")

  5. open Windows Media Center, which will realize that there is a problem and that it is necessary to rerun the configuration

  After the execution of the task above and completing a successful installer of Windows Media Center, I found I could record once more tv!

  Guess I'll never know exactly what was wrong, but I'll settle for having working again!

  Hope that works for you

• Audio stuttering then crash by watching the video with Windows Media center

  I'm having a problem with Windows Media Center which seems to have left me speechless. Whenever I have try and watch live TV or recorded using Media Center program, he starts to play to repeat the first second of audio for about 6 seconds and then stops playing gives me an video error and won't let watch me something else. I have a Setup Xbox 360 as an Extender and having no problem whatsoever. The strange thing is that, if I open the program saved directly from Explorer windows with media center, it will play well. If I stop and try and then click RESUME He stutters and gives me this video error.
  It used to work fine until I started to play with the audio settings from 5.1 to 7.1 audio in the windows configuration settings. I changed the settings in-game your 7.1 speakers. Actually I tried to switch back, but when I try to 'Test' the speakers it gives a sound like it is stuttering and I still get the video error when I try to play. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

• Problems with reorded/live TV in Windows Media Center/player

  Having recently updated the drivers for my graphics (Nvidea GeForce GTX 460 SE) Windows Media Player/Center refuses to show any video image during an attempt to play live TV or TV recorded previously. I only get audio.
  My drivers are up to date and the only thing I can think that I've changed has been updated my graphic drivers. This is television shows that were working before.
  I have been using a third-party program to play these in the meantime, but obviously it is not compatible with my remote windows.
  Any suggestions?

  If it all started after updating the graphics driver, you can easily restore the driver.

  Try to card tv tuner driver update. Visit the tv tuner card manufacturer's Web site to download and install the latest version of the driver.

  Another thing, you could try resets WMC: -.

  Run the Setup again.

  Open WMC > tasks > settings > General > installation Windows Media Center > rerun the installation

  Does that help?

  If the above does not help then try to reset WMC: -.

  Open Control Panel > uninstall a program > turn Windows features on or off > scroll multimedia features > uncheck the box against Windows Media Center > follow the instructions on the screen > Reboot > open again to turn Windows features on or off in the control panel > scroll multimedia features > check the box against Windows Media Center.

  Now reconfigure WMC again.

  I would also suggest you to uninstall any third-party application you are using at the moment.
