• Windows Media Player 12 "Play To" does not work

  I am trying to use the "Play To" feature between two Windows 7 computers.  Both behave the same way.  When I select the "Play To" feature at the top right of the window, the "Play To" dialog box appears very briefly.  In fact, so briefly that I just see the outline - no text inside (I don't see "play to" in the title area).  I have all the media streaming features turned on and I can 'see' libraries (and can view all photos/videos, etc) - I just can't "play to." I tried two computers in both directions.  I don't get the error messages and I don't see anything in the log files.  Note that, when I try to use the "Play To" feature in Windows Explorer, I get the following error "as it is impossible to find the resource specified in the image file type."

• 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:

  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.

  See the article mentioned below.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/getting-started-with-Windows-Media-Player

  Method 2:

  You can delete the Windows Media Player databaseand check.

  1. exit Windows Media Player.

  2. for Windows 7: click Start, run, %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player and then click on OK.

  3. Select all the files in the folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

  Note: You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

  4. restart Windows Media Player.

  Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  Method 3:

  Erase Windows Media Player database cache filesand see if that solves the problem.

  1. exit Windows Media Player.

  2. If you are running Windows 7, click Start, run, % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, and then click OK.

  3 select the folder Media Player , and then click delete on the file menu.

  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 11 in XP does not play DRM files

  I have a new installation of SP3 and the latest WMP11 on XP Home.

  I get this error when I try to play any DRM file any provider:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/Webhelp/default.aspx?&mpver=11.0.5721.5262&ID=C00D11B1&ContextId=71&OriginalID=80070057
  You met the C00D11B1 error message when you use Windows Media Player.
  Original Original error error Code
  80070057 one or more arguments are invalid.

  All other types of video or audio files that are not protected by DRM play without problem, so there is no problem with the audio device or the ID3 headers because none of the DRM files I've tried are MP3s.

  Many hours of research I find that the error is returned for various problems. I tried all the solutions, and none of them solve the problem.  It may be missing or conflicting codecs like all types of files not DRM play without problem. The quartz.dll is recorded and uncorrupted. I reinstalled WMP11 several times. I have reset the DRM with Microsoft tools both Netlix and individualized WMP11 using several MS individualazition sites and by force using the command-line of the several times with each reinstall.

  The last thing I tried is to use the resetDRM tool and not to individualize and then installed Amazon Unbox for rentals and video purchases. I ran the troubleshooting included in Unbox and let individualize WMP11, then troubleshooting reported no problems with my set-up. I downloaded a free file short Amazon and although he'll play the Amazon unbox player, trying to read the file in WMP11 always returns the same error as before and therefore trying to play one of the other DRM files I have.

  If someone has another solution or an idea of what to check that the usual suspects?

  Hello

  Sometimes, this problem can be caused contributions file included with the MP3 ID3 headers. Make a copy of the file and then use an ID3 tag non - editing program Microsoft to remove or reset the file's ID3 headers.

  Caution:

  • Try to remove ID3 headers might damage the file and make it unplayable. Therefore, always make a copy of the file before editing.
