• Windows Media Player 11 is not often day Date last played

  I have a fairly complex auto playlist, but when I am using it and showing the "Now Playing" list, the column "Date last played" is not updated.

  He used to update in the past, but now it is no longer made. Is there something I can do to recover this feature? While it worked, it was very helpful, because I could use the "Date last played" from time to time to what extent I had, if I pressed the stop and I wanted to restart here where I left.

  With WMP 11 because my system is XP.

  1. Exit Windows Media Player.
  2. If you are running Windows XP, click Start, click run, type %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft and then click OK.

     If you are running Windows Vista, click Start, all programs->Accessories->run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft and then click OK.

  3. Select the Media Player folder, and then click delete on the file menu.
  4. Restart Windows Media Player.

     Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

• Windows Media Player - change the columns that appear under 'Now Playing'

  I would like to change the columns displayed in the views now play and Windows Media Player play list.  The factory default is to show only the fields title and length.  It wouldn't be that big a deal this is something fairly simple to access the page layout options, hit choose columns and select the check boxes for the columns I want to show... but the title and duration are the only fields that it allows me to select from.  He still refuses to allow me to select anything else.  I know that there is a way to display more information, but for the life of me I don't remember how to do so that he can do.  Help?

  Hey,.

  I've recreated the scenario on my Windows Media Player. It shows all the info like length, side, title, album, artist to contribute. Appoint you.

  Scan SFC should be your friend.

• No sound in windows media player (11.0.6002.18111) only trying to play mp3 files. No way of fixing/uninstallation or reinstallation. Need advice!

  I recently encountered a problem with Windows Media Player 11 (a specific version in the title of the topic) where no sound play atall when you try to play mp3 files. When trying to play a track of the progress indicator moves VERY slowly and jumps in a stuttering mode and no sound whatsoever is coming through the speakers. He is a recent problem.

  All audio files work on other audio programs like Real player, quick time e.t.c. and the sound comes from the computer normally. Only the sound that I have are with windows media player when you try to play mp3 files. Still fine read video files, wav files play fine. How boring is that he suddenly decided he likes are more mp3 files!

  More annoying, I stumbled upon the fact that I can't uninstall the reader as in Vista, it is part of the operating system literal, I can't download and install WMP install package from Microsoft because I tried and it tells me that I have a more recent version of Windows media player and therefore impossible to use the downloaded Setup program to install or repair windows media player. It is therefore impossible for me to get an installation package that is newer than the one on the computer, you would have thought that the downloadable installation on the microsoft Web site would be the more recent but no!

  I can't think of a way to solve this problem. For me it feels strongly a Codec issue to do with MP3 and WMP but I don't really know about Codecs enough to go on the setting of the specific Codec with the question, or even track down which codec it is perhaps whether she "is" a codec problem in the first place.

  I tried settings with the menu of options in WMP 11 troubleshooting unsuccessful (obviously), I also tried an audio tool / repair of breakdowns than microsfts audio troubleshooting prompted me to try, that of no problems with the actual audio devices on the system... I KNOW, his problem with WMP and mp3 files!

  So, to summarize, WMP doesn't read MP3 files, I can't run a repair tool that there is no 'installation' to WMP 11 package, it is not an uninstall utility is which means that I can't uninstall it to reinstall a new, I can't download the installation package and run it as apparently I have a more current version than is available on the microsoft Web site. Then what should I do?

  I need some advice on how to go about trying to solve this problem I've hit a bit of a brick wall...

  Any advice would be much appreciated!

  FIXED!

  randomly enough rate and bit depth format sample somehow has set high in the sound control panel, advanced driver.

  After hitting "restore defaults" it resets the depth of rate and little sample return at: 16 bit 44.1 khz

  The sound now plays perfectly.

  Weird it performs only mp3 files!

  Thanks for the help people, it seems that I ended up sorting out on my own though! Yay for me! haha

• Windows Media Player 12 for Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials

  Hello

  Is it possible to get Windows Media Player 11 or 12 on a Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials, because I have a few videos that I want to watch from the server. I searched on the Microsoft Web site to see if I can download Windows Media Player 11 or 12, but it doesn't seem to work... but is it possible?

  In addition, older versions of Windows Media Player would work for Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials if you provide links. It would be great to try!

  Thank you!
