• Windows media player (11) starts, but does not play file

  When I double-click an audio file, WMP opens but then does not play the file.

  MP3 and WMA (and other formats) files are configurΘ for dΘmarrer with default WMP and video files to various formats still work very well.
  I can get the audio to play by doing a right click and select 'Open with' - 'WMP '.  Drag and drop files into the playlist now also does not work.
  I'm under WMP 11 on XP Pro version.
  Any ideas?

  This just started recently?
  If so, what has changed?

  Try to uninstall the codec pack, it can cause conflicts, play media files.

  If the problem persists, try reinstalling the Media Player and test.

• Windows Media Player duplicate songs shows, does not show album titles or art of Seagate NAS Media Server

  I just bought a Seagate BlackArmor NAS 110, copied my music to her collection (a big bunch of WMA and MP3 files) and activated the press service that would allow my music to be listened traveled with other DLNA devices.

  I then pulled up to my Windows 7 laptop and opened Windows Media Player. The NAS media appeared immediately. I clicked on "The Album->" under the name of server. Here is what I get:

  -All photos are displayed in the list

  -No album art

  -L' artist album appears usually (but), instead of the title of the album

  -Some albums are displayed with duplicates (2 or even 3 copies) of each track

  What happens here? Is there a problem with the Seagate DLNA implementation? Windows Media Player is getting confused somehow?

  Reference:

  http://www.Seagate.com/www/products/external/BlackArmor/blackarmor_nas_110

  Hello

  ·        Have you tried to connect the Seagate BlackArmor NAS (Network Attached Storage) 110 on another computer and checked display it music files?

  To delete duplicate entries, click on another tab of feature in the Player (for example the current playback), then library.

  If this does not remove duplicates from your library, you can add it to the library of the computer search dialog box to analyze a file on your computer the entries double invalid pointing. The player will remove invalid entries in your library that point to files that no longer exist in the folder.
   
  Method 1:

  To use the Add to library dialog box search for computers.

  1. start Windows Media Player.

  2. press F3 on your keyboard to open Add to the library of the computer search dialog box.

  3. click on the Browse button to locate the file on your computer so that your library contains invalid entries. Specify the location of the folder in the box look in.

  If you are not sure what duplicate in your library entry is not valid, you can add a path column to display in your library.

  4. specify the folder on your computer that matches the path invalid file displayed in your library.
  Click on the Search button.

  The player will search for digital media files and playlists in the folder that you specify and remove invalid entries in your library that point to files that no longer exist in the folder. If not valid in double entries point to other folders on your computer, repeat this procedure, specify a different folder every time.
   
  If only a small number of duplicate entries exist, you can delete those invalid manually by double-clicking the invalid entry and then clicking on delete.
   
  If you have a large number of entries in doubles in your library (or if your library is duplicated), it might be better to create a new library.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/Windows-Media-Player-library-frequently-asked-questions

  Method 4:

  How can I prevent double or invalid entries to be added to my library when I play music files?

  When you move digital media files on your computer, the file name and file path information remain unchanged in your library. Then when you select a file to play to its new location, a new entry is created in your library if you select the option automatically added to your library when played. As a result, your library can quickly contain a large number of entries, duplicate or invalid.

  To prevent it be automatically added to your library of music files

  1. in Windows Media Player, click the Tools menu, Options.

  2. on the Player tab, clear music to add to the library when played check box.

  Thanks and regards.

• Windows media player - live radio stream does not.

  Original title: windows media player - live radio stream

  Windows media player-i'm trying to listen to a live stream of a radio station.  I did this for a few days and it worked fine.  Now, it won't work, it shows the connection and made, but nothing happens.  yet looks like trying to connect.  instructions had said to turn off your pop-up blocker until he started, and I did, but still do not work.

  I remember not to make any changes at all.  I don't think I even restarted the computer... But I decided to try with internet explore instead of firefox and it works fine.  I'll just use this way.  Thank you very much!
