Windows Media Player 11 on XP SP2 has lost all its music library and will not allow him to add again.

I have the media player 11 and it worked very well.  Yesterday I opened a session and opened it, and there is no music in the library.  Playlists are still there.  I tried to manually add folders to watch. No joy.  When I repeated the procedure for adding, records Analyzer was still empty.  As if I never said what to monitor.

I followed the advice offered in this forum at staceygumbert and followed a link to:

http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/fixing-when-windows-media-player-library-wont-let-you-add-files/.

This notice did not.  Once I deleted the database because it suggests that WMP asks about media sharing.  When I click on the button 'Settings' WMP fails and sends an error report.

If I connect my wife, everything is OK.  I tried to copy its database through my user profile.  No joy.

My Roku Soundbridge can't 'see' libraries.  However I think it's to be expected considering not having WMP does not all libraries.

Software configuration:

Windows media 11.0.5721.5268 player

XP SP 2

Hi thesafesurfer,

  • Windows media player: the server is running has no error

    When I got this error when trying to play a piece of music, I ran WMP Troubleshooter who reported

    • Corrupt recording script
    • Reset Windows Media Player
    • Windows Media Player library
    • Network Windows Media streaming settings are corrupt

    All errors have been shown to be fixed, and when I tried again to play the music, everything was fine - until I then restarted the pc when the same error "Server execution" appeared.

    I removed the WM Center and WM Player, rebooted, reinstalled WMC and WMP and restarted.  This time, when I tried to play a song that I got a very strange message that was clearly not of Microsoft origin "trial expired, buy now or enter your serial number" in a window had.

    I ran a full scan MS Essentials without result.

    I tried the suggestion in a previous post:

    Method 1

    (a) click Start and in the search bar type cmd.exe

    (b) right click on cmd.exe and click Run as administrator

    (c) in the command prompt, type the following command

    net localgroup "Administrators'"NT Authority\Local Service"/ Add

    (d) press on enter and restart the computer

    (e) check if you are able to read the files in Windows media player.

    Same result - "trial expired...". »

    I tried solving problems of parameters of Windows Media Player, which just reported 'Configuration settings could be wrong', but did not set.

  • -What someone answering questions on Windows Media Player. I can't download a license for music. It gives me error 438.

    I have Windows Media Player 11

    Hello

    1 have had any changes made to your computer before this problem?

    Perform the following methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1:

    There is a possibility that internet settings are causing this error 438 to come.

    Go to your Internet Explorer and check the settings of Internet security. Make sure to set the level on 'medium high'. If the level is set higher, it can block the Windows Media Player to download the license, Windows Media Player error 438 to come.

    Also in the Internet security settings, it is important to "run activex controls and plug-ins." By activating these two parameters, it must deal with what caused the error to occur in Windows Media Player.

    Method 2: reset the DRM Bank on the computer.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    (a) If Windows Media Player is running, exit Windows Media Player.

    (b) locate the DRM folder on the hard disk, and then rename the folder to DRMbackup DRM.

    Note: by default, this folder is located in the following location in Windows:

    %SystemDrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DRM

    (c) visit the following Microsoft Web site:

    http://drmlicense.one.Microsoft.com/Indivsite/en/indivit.asp  

    (d) follow the instructions on the website to update the safety component of Windows Media Player. This procedure allows you to obtain new licenses for media content. You can also reset licenses for purchased content so that you can play that content on a computer.

    Note: DRMs, such as Microsoft Windows Product Activation, maintain an internal hardware ID. This ID is based on the hardware configuration that existed during the installation of Windows or installing Windows Media Player 11. If you change the processor of the computer or other devices, the hardware in the DRM system ID does not match the new computer configuration. When this occurs, DRM determines that a user has tried to move the content protected to a different computer. This behavior can also occur if the storage protected by DRM in the Windows registry has been changed.

    Note: you must contact any third-party stores where you purchased music to reset the licenses for that music. If you copied CDs for protected Windows Media Audio files, the CD must be copied again.

    For your reference: When you try to use Windows Media Player 11 to play a digital rights (DRM) - management protected, multimedia media can not play

  • Window Media Player 11 - prompt for information already filled in under "Advance Tag Editor" does not appear

    Earlier when using "Advance Tag Editor" in Window Media Player 11, singer and other information earlier filled by me, names appeared automatically by typing just a letter of the word. For eaxample so I had previously filled Mohd. Rafi 'Artist Info' and if I needed to write again Mohd. Rafi for the song under this column, just by typing M, name and surname as Mohd. Rafi used underneath and just by clicking on it, it is used to get automatically filled in the column. Now, he can't like that. I write full name every time. Please guide me as to what I should do. According to me, a box has been "unmarked" by me in error as this prompt for more information, already filled, is no longer available.

  • Can Windows Media Player XP play MTS file type? I tried, but the video does not play smoothly. Is this fix really?

    I tried, but the video does not play smoothly.  Is this fix really?

    There is a possibility that Windows Media Player could
    read the file if you rename the MTS to MPG or AVI.

    And/or...the suite of freeware Media Player can be
    worth a try.

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    Media Player Classic Home Cinema
    http://MajorGeeks.com/Media_Player_Classic_Home_Cinema_d6213.html
    (works on XP/Vista/7)
    (The name of the file to download is: "MPC - HomeCinema.1.5.2.3456.x 86 .exe ')

    If this fails, it may be worth trying to convert the MTS file
    WMV format:

    There are many converters available on the net... some
    free... some detail.

    The following freeware converters are a few examples:

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    (1) Sothink Free Video Converter
    http://www.Sothinkmedia.com/video-converter/
    (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

    You will need to unzip the file... or you could just drag
    the Setup.exe from the file out of the folder and drop it on your
    desktop and install from there.

    Once installed... Open Sothink and go to... Add the files button...
    Find and select the clips you want to convert.

    Next... in the encoding settings... Choose... Video credits.
    WMV - Windows Media Video (*.wmv).

    Choose an output folder and on the left, click on the button convert.

    You can experiment with other settings later but
    This should help you get started.

    (2) format Factory (freeware)
    http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Format_Factory
    (the 'direct link' is faster)
    (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup270.zip<>
    (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
    ('all' boxes on the last screen)
    (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

    First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
    Drag FFSetup270.exe out of the folder
    and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.

    Next, after the download and installation of Format
    Factory... you can open the program and
    left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
    "Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
    (this is where you find your files after they)
    are converted)

    Drag and drop your video clips on the main screen...

    Select "all to WMV" / OK...

    Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

    That should do it...
