Windows Media Player 12 shows the files like long 0 seconds

Distance I broadcast my video files on my computer at home on my laptop so I can access the recorded TV and other files captured to work.  Recently, all my files were changed to show the right length of 0 seconds, but only in Windows Media Player 12, it works fine in Windows Media Center and Windows Explorer, it seems to be the recent updates to WMP.

Well, I don't know what part did, but it's fixed now, I did apply the tools-> editing media information, and then I made the tools-> Advanced-> media library to restore...

  • "Windows Media Player cannot burn the files to CD" error while burning a CD

    My Windows Media Player says "Windows Media Player cannot burn the files to the CD. Check that the disc is clean and not damaged. If necessary, select a slower recording speed or try a different brand of blank discs.  I have burned several CD from Windows Media Player in the last year.  I used different brands of CD, since I first saw this message, but it continues to give the same message.  Whenever the burner starts to burn, I get this message.  What is the problem?

  • Error "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' when try to play wav or midi files.

    Original title: WMP "can't play wav or midi.

    Using WMP 11 on Windows XP SP3.

    Windows Media Player has somehow forgotten how to play wav or midi files. Doubleclicking either of these file types give an error "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. " There is a button 'Close' and 'Web Help' which still informs me, "you met the C00D1199 error message... ". ». Following the advice given nothing less than useful.

    I can easily play these files with RealPlayer or VLC so I don't think it's a driver problem, and it wasn't a corruption right after installing the other players. WMP seems to work OK when playing music or AVI. And there is no harm to hear a sound (wav or midi) in Windows for various system events. Have already uninstalled/reinstalled WMP without result.

    Thanks for your reply.

    I have since determeined the problem comes from an updated codec package I installed a few weeks ago. These codecs were from Shark007 which I believe is a Microsoft MVP. Use the codecs from this site for a number of years without any problems so I did not initially suspect it was the source of the problem. I uninstalled the codec pack and installed K-light package and everything seems to be Ok now. Now, I'll be in contact with the members of this forum.
