  • Windows Media Player takes a long time to open and search

    Slow initialization of WMP 12, research and classification.

    IM under W7 Ultimate 64.
    When I start WMP12 it takes much more time to initialize that WMP11 on vista, 2 minutes before I can even start by selecting music.
    If I do a search it also picks up a similar amount of time and locks (graying out, slider timer). Once I have a bunch of songs loaded on the screen, say a playlist with 200 songs and then click a tab as a note it takes 30 seconds to REList per category during this time it hangs again.
    I have about 40,000 songs in my library. I have rebuilt the library and the database now resides on a second disc which did not make a difference.
         
    (1) what someone else with similar problems and found a solution?
    (2) is it possible to replace it with WMP11 which worked perfectly and was much more intuitive?
    (3) can anyone recommend a replacement player who has gapless playback and fast database access?

  • Windows Media Player 11 for Vista problem with skin mode

    My Windows Media Player for Vista (premium) works well for more than a year.  The other day, for the first time, I chose to start it in appearance (small) mode.  The hourglass appeared, then she flashed "not responding".  When I searched for help, help app has just ended.  When I asked for more details, the message says "a problem caused this program blocking interact with Windows.  Problem event name is AppHangB1; version of the app is 11.0.6002.18065; Hang sign is e710; Blocking type is '0 '. timestamp of the application is 4a5dce03.

    I went into Control Panel to try to fix, but Media Player is not displayed as an installed program.

    I tried to download and reinstall, but it says that my version is more recent than the downloadable version.

    I tried to remove the program .exe file and I was told that I needed permission (even though I am the administrator).

    I ran the cmd scan, but he said that some errors could not be fixed.

    I tried to run regedit, but my computer says there is an error and could not work.

    So I can't open, remove, repair or replace the Windows Media Player 11.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I saw another thread that has suggested to delete three registry entries.  That did not work, but because WMP didn't work, I felt "BOLD".  I've therefore deleted everything in the registry, including 'by default'.  And guess what?  It worked!  He put back me in full mode, I'll leave the skin only mode.

    Thanks again.

  • When windows media player will be able to play blu - ray?

    One might think that in the 21st century windows media player keep upward over time. Of course I can buy the software from someone else, but why should I?

    Hello

    WMP 12 8 win not only will not play Blu - Ray, he will not play ANY type of file or DVD movie disc...

    It is because of licensing issues, and the fact that you can buy the software, or more so... even get free... is one of the reasons for Microsoft to do this...

    A lot of drives\burners of DVD\Blu-Ray includes a player with the drive for free, besides other part 3ed sources...

  • Open a URL in Windows Media Player

    Is there a chance to open a url directly from youtube in windows media player?

    Let's go into the details.

    I have the old Matrox rt.x100 video card (full screen on an external monitor only with windows media player + live show video plugin), so if I want to open a livestream of youtube video and play on external monitor through the Matrox card I need wmp.

    Beacause it, is there any chance and the possibility of open url directly in Windows Media Player?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,

    Stefan

    I don't disagree that VLC can, but it's obviously research any HTML content on the page, to jump beyond all the toolbars, comments, announcements, links and... then find the video, determine the FLV or a video that is wrapped in the HTML5 or Flash wrapper, then play the open content.

    This will never come to WMP.

  • Windows Media Player 11 & MP4

    I can play a video file MP4 with WMP11 from an external hard drive and an SD card using ffdshow codecs, but it will not exactly play the same file copied to the internal hard drive of the PC.  When I try to read a file in the C: drive for example MP4, WMP11 stops and displays the message «the selected file has an extension (.)» that is not recognized by Windows Media Player."  So, any ideas why WMP11 recognizes and play a MP4 file on an external drive, but not on a hard drive internal?

    Thanks but the problem is solved.  The command 'open' for .mp4 files in the registry must be changed from "C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe" '%1' to 'C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe"/Open"% ".  Simple really!  Then the files .mp4 plays well with the codecs installed "ffdshow".

  • Coventing VOB to avi not playable on windows media player

    I have a HOME VIDEO (i.e. There is no license no questions here) I have a program that allows to convert VOB files to avi so that I can store the video on my computer, and then play using windows media player, etc...

    However, I can't get windows media player to read the file if I convert VOB to AVI using mpeg2.  This isn't a good option, but it works.   Other options for the avi settings include:
    INTEL IYUV codec
    Microsoft Video Codec I
    XviD codec MPEG-4

    With all this, when I try to run windows media player avi files which result gives me the following 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.

    How can I get a high quality VOB to AVI conversion that will play in windows media player?  I need to find somewhere new codec?  If yes where?

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers forum.

    Windows Media Player and. Read VOB

    Windows Media Player (and) Windows Media Center should be able to natively playback unencrypted. VOB files. As long as the whole structure is there you can point Windows Media Center in the folder root containing records audio and video TS. To display a local copy of your movie in Windows Media Center everything you need to do is Add the folder to the watch list. You can select and then ideally in your library or you can do the following to access the files using Windows Media Player.

    Opening. VOB in Windows Media Player:

    1 or you can right click the upper Video_TS. VOB and select Open.

    2. click Select a program from a list of installed programs, and then tap OK.

    3 uncheck always use the program selected for this file type.

    4. click on Windows Media Player, and the family film should start playing.
