• Windows media center extender will not play all my mp3

  I used to listen to music from my pc to my xbox recently just windows media center extender. but when I play certain songs, I get an error that says: an error has occurred and may not play a few songs, but some of my other songs play fine. When I went to look at my library, I noticed that some of the songs had a yellow padlock in front of the icon. I looked through the properties and could not understand anything the thing he looked the same as a normal file for me. any ideas?

  Looks like that the songs can be protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management). You are able to play the same songs with Windows Media Player?

• Windows Media Center visualizations will not work

  My Windows Media Center visualizations will not work for some reason any. its been like that for a while.
  When I listen to music and want to see my office shows that the program is still underway
  I thought it has something to do with the visualizations I instaled on Windows Media player
  (like ribbons and Upcube)
  I tried to remove them, they either come back or he will constantly ask me to go to it

  my system is portable

  • Windows Vista Edition home premium
    • Intel core 2 DUO

    32-bit operating system
    2.00 GB

  I missed a CD command before the directory (since corrected) so orders would be as follows:

  CD C:\program files\windows media player\visualizations\
  
  DIR

  You'll see the DLLs listed here, they are visualizations that have been installed (if the author decided to use directory default visualizations) NOTE: there may also be cases where the author badly spelled directory visualizations and used something like "visualizations".

  regsvr32.exe - u nom_fichier.dll  (use only the indicated file name that you want to remove)

  repeat if necessary.

  Windows Media Player cannot rotate a video.

  Windows Live Movie Maker can turn a video clip, but you
  may need to convert the video to a compatible format like
  . WMV, before you can import it into Windows Live Movie
  Maker.

  See the following screenshot.

• Windows Media Center displays/does not play videos in folders of same accurate as they have always been saved

  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.

  Please help, I use Windows Media Center as my main videos media player. Windows Media Center is not connected to a TV, just use it as a media player on my laptop.

  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.

  you're not giving us enough information. When did it stop working? If it worked
  previously, I would recommend first trying to run Windows Media Player AND Windows
  Media Center, and then again. Control Panel, programs and features, tour
  Windows feature turn on or off. Uncheck the two programs, restart. Go back and turn them
  both on reboot. This solve your problem? Otherwise, you should try a system
  Restore to a point where everything worked normally, maybe early August? By

  Hello bluepole,.

  1. the Media Player and Media Center work fine before?

  2. the problem occurs with all types of files you play or any particular file?

  Try the methods below to resolve this issue:

  Method 1:

  Reduce hardware acceleration (or turn off) video hardware acceleration (if supported by your video card)

  1 open the screen resolution by clicking on the start start button Picture button, click on the Panel, and then, under appearance and personalization, click on adjust the screen resolution.

  2. click on advanced settings, click the Troubleshooting tab, and then click on change settings.

  3. move the hardware acceleration slider to none to reduce or turn off video hardware acceleration.

  Method 2:

  If you are not able to play all the files, make sure that the right codecs are installed on the computer for videos to play in Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center.

  Refer to this article for frequently asked Codecs:

• My windows media player will not play a DVD

  My windows media player will not play a DVD: Microsoft Windows 95 Version 5.1 (Build 2600.XP_SP3_gdr.111025 - 1629:Service Pack 3).  Download a free version of media player to play the DVD?  Please tell me the name of the upgrade and where to find the free download version, if so.  Thank you!

  First thing that you do not run windows 95 if your build number is 2600.XP_SP3 it is a build number of windows XP.  Second, you will not be able to play DVDs using this version of windows and media player only.  The reason for this is DVD is a standard that a group of companies shut down and basically, they demand rights fees to use, it codec, which you don't have. You will need get a program that has integrated these codec (or find them somewhere).  Your best option for this is to completely abandon the but of the using Media player to play your DVD (unless you are looking to buy another piece of software).  There is a free option that I use on my machine Windows 7 Basic its called VLC is a free player that makes just about every format out there (not sure Bluray).  VLC uses its own codec (I think it's developed for the linux community orginially) rather than using the codec of the industry.  You can find the program at http://www.videolan.org/

  My old videos in my windows media player will not play. acquire CODECS rises. I get audio but not video for all the movies at home. Movies that I downloaded and clips play very well. How can I fix it. I use wmp 11.

  Hello satindoll11233,

  1. What is the exact error message you get when you try to play videos?

  2. What is the format of the videos that you try to play?

  3. are you able to play other files with Windows Media Player?

  Media Player will not be able to play video files, if there are no required codecs or video format is not supported by Media Player.

• Windows vista Media Player will not play mp3 or wma files

  my windows vista Ultimate 64 player will not play any of my wma or mp3 files. said that I did not have the codex of right. but wma and wmv are windows. What's new?

  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.

  NOTE:

  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.

  Hope this helps,

• 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 a. MOV file

  I have a new Dell laptop with Windows 7 Professional and Windows Media Player will not play a '. MOV' video file completely (the video but not sound). I am told by Microsoft Windows Media Player will not play a MOV file, and I need Codec VLC add on or another player who will play MOV file. What is the best solution and if its for download a Codec VLC, then what is the best source?

  Guess why?  [ :-) ]

  Types of files supported by Windows Media Player:
  https://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992

  Which was probably that there was a lack of understanding between the container file and the codec here (in November 2013).  He says he's a "MOV" does not mean that he plays with the same codecs as all other MOV files.  ;-)
