• Windows media player11.error windows media player cannot play dittos theplayer might not support the file type or might not support the codec used to compress the file

  • y at - it software that could help me.which will work with my Media Player to convert almost any format or find the good codec.so I can watch my videos, I have downloaded on my documents.there need some software out there that would do this work.so my media player 11 play my videos.

  Hi Bbdunford,

  O what is the file format?

  O if it works well before?

  Today, there are hundreds of audio and video codecs in use. Some were created by Microsoft, but the vast majority of codecs have been created by other companies, organizations or individuals. By default, the Windows operating system and the player includes a number of the most popular codecs, such as MP3, Windows Media Audio and Windows Media Video.

  There might be times, however, when you want to read the content that is compressed with a codec that does not include Windows or the default player. In many cases, you can download the necessary codec on the web for free or for a fee. And, in some cases, the player can automatically use the codecs installed by other reading programs and the creation of digital media on your computer.

  You may encounter this error message for the following reasons:

  1. the file type is supported by the drive, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the player.

  2 - the file might have been encoded with a codec that is not supported by Windows Media Player. If this is the case, Windows Media Player cannot play the file.

  You can try the steps and check if it makes a difference.

  1. in order to determine what codec was used with a specific file, play the file in the player, if possible. When the file is playing, right-click the file in the library, and then click Properties. On the file tab, look at the sections of video codec and Audio codec.

  2 download and install Codecs by clicking on the PLAYER tab and check. To connect to the Internet and automatically download Codecs player

  3. configure the protocol settings

  On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Network tab.

  In the Streaming protocols area, select all the check boxes Protocol.

  When connecting to a server running Windows Media Services, Windows Media Player tries to use all selected protocols.

• Windows Media Player will not play. WMA files

  Windows Media Player will not play. WMA files, but all the rest that he will play codecs for.

  What is going on?

  Reset Media Player and accepted the default set and makes no difference.

  Still will not play. WMA files.

  This has happened on three different machines using hundreds of different. WMA files and none of them will play.

  All of these files were torn to the folder of music with Media Player.

  SFC/scannow seems to have done the trick for a user here. See:

• Windows Media Player Version 12 new problem rip CDs: no album info.

  I use Windows Media Player 12 on Windows 7 Home Premium OS V..  I was rip CDs to this computer for years without any significant problems and have hundreds of CD in MP3 format in my library of music.  When I recently tried to rip a new batch of CD, the albums were coming all up as 'Unknown' album & artist, "track 1, track 2,... and follow n for the titles of the songs."  After the investigation period, a pop up window would come saying "Windows Media Player cannot download information on the media for this CD... "What has happened to WMP and how to fix it?

  HI - the first necessary check is if nothing has changed after a recent update for the media player (you may remember being asked to set your preferences) view of library in WMP go to 'organize' - 'options' and check that internet access is authorized and in the privacy, the "online display media information" tab is checked. If these settings are correct, then we will study more deeply... Thank you - r.

• Uninstall-reinstall Windows Media Player 12 for Windows 7z

  Seems to be a major problem with Windows Media Player 12, (not just me!). My problem could be solved easily by doing a restore. However, if I do a recovery, I'll lose hundreds of thousands, most likely several million files because I have at least 13 t of memory on my computer and external hard drives that will play only on this OS. That's why I have to repair Windows Media Player. Is there a solution?

• Windows Media Player Album Cover Art disappeared after the installation of 11 Explorer (Windows 7)

  A large part of my cover art of the album disappeared from Windows Media Player after installing Explorer 11 (using Windows 7). It's hundreds of albums and for art that was already present before installing Explorer 11. The number of albums is to manually replace the work a tedious task seriously.

  It's the same thing with the installation of Explorer 10, but less than albums, so I learned to live with it. But it's now on a ridiculous on the part of the library.

  Can someone tell me where the art is gone? And why?

  If there is a way to replace it without doing a search for each album with missing art?

  If she is still on my computer somewhere, but is no longer connected to the media player?

  Where the cover of the album art in general is maintained? I can not even understand this, using my computer or go to my account to backup Carbonite.

  Thanks for any help.

  Hi Jamie...

  Your album covers on album is in application data files and it will always be there. There is obviously a problem somewhere and it can be if you rebuild your library of wmp that the work will return. I guess you can still see the piece in the album files ok - Yes?

  First of all if I should run the Fix It tool and the sfc scanner - after that restart your pc and see if anything has changed. (The scannow sfc tool will report if there are errors, it cannot fix)

  Fix - download and run the tool for WMP (all problem areas)

  http://Support2.Microsoft.com/FixIt/?WA=wsignin1.0

  sfc scannow - follow the instructions here.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833/en-us

  After making such a report and we will then rebuild your wmp library if necessary.

  Ric.

  Afterthought - memory I got a screenshot of the cache of art, so here it is. It is also a "hidden" folder (you can tell by the gray look), that's why you don't find it easily!

• Windows Media Player CD identification search became extremely reliable

  Hello

  I was the extraction of CD by the hundreds to my computer and other than the occasional missing album art or year of production for the last years I did this, I found the 'search' CDDB used to identify the CD, to be precise. But I've become so identification of CD now precise frustrated at the end (last 3 weeks or more) has become the exception, I would say that he received only 1 out of 10 correct, that problems are broad in their misidentification.

  Since it is not able to identify anything either on the CD (all the info as unknown) to get the right artist but the bad album, i.e. all the track info is wrong, or that it identifies the album, but it appears in Chinese or Arabic, symbols or the title of the album is OK but it's by another artist , I can almost guarantee that with a 2 CD box set, he will get 1 CD right but the 2nd completely wrong and the clincher for me that something is in place is that if I insert a CD already successfully snatched made long ago that he can not re-inentify the most and that after that I know my databas personal WMP has been rebuilt from scratch after be mandated by Microsoft to resolve a different fixed an issue - you name the scenario and I will have lived this pathetic ability to identify CD. Fortunately, the info is available on the database of the AMG (CDDB), he just stopped corresponding info correctly. So my process has become now that I had to disable 'Automatic CD ripping' as I was getting just rubbish connected to the ripped CDs. Now I insert a CD to see what a mess it can automatically identify its content, I can right click the album art (or lack thereof) and select "Find album info" in the menu contextual, I may add, change or replace the 'search' the data which he filled previously and looking for the album, the 'best game' that it displays is not as far as I know, never one he chooses automatically and sometimes this "best match" is one I want to, but often I have to select the second or third game we find, or try a different search for more specific info. So I have a number of questions, firstly why the process moved from 99.9% to 90% reliable inaccurate? And on the other hand if the info is there it should be able to do a much better job of selection CD info (at least equal to the way in which he did a few weeks ago when I ripped about 100 CD without a single wrong with title, artist, or song).

  Also everything that caused this problem, does not appear to be communicated Windows or WMP related, problem is cross-platform and through releases of WMP, it just seems to be the process of search for CD database that went haywire!

  Fortunately for over the last 10 days, the search of the database of Windows Media Player is back to be 99.9% reliable. Due to lack of feedback from Microsoft technical support and the time when the search for the database was poor and then back to be accurate; My guess is that there is a database of monthly reorg which failed in may but has been clean in June and this problem would only be picked up by someone like me who's tearing six or CD for my PC every day, such as a glitch like this is real obvious, but user casual is not. I am so happy that the problem was temporary, but in the last month, I picked up a number of skills in the use of the database to perform the data recovery CD directed by the user when the automated process is broken!

• Open Firefox Windows Media Player for video files

  I need to make Firefox to open the actual Windows Media Player application (not a plugin, the window real app) when clicking on video links, for example, WMV. These file types are already associated in Windows Explorer with WMPlayer, but this has no effect on Firefox.

  What happens now is that, after you have clicked on a video, I get a screen black with yellow icon of VLC Player (VideoLAN VLC installed on my PC) in the Center and no video. I don't want to launch VLC or internal plug-ins.

  You can change the type of application opens for each kind of type in Firefox options.

• 21 of Firefox opens not mp3s in Windows Media Player

  I put the option program of file type for the two 'windows media player' and 'request' and Firefox always opens the mp3 in a generic player in a new tab MP3s played in the popup from Windows Media Player (after download) fine in the latest version of Firefox 20.X. I tried to disable the Microsoft WMP plugin (the only way to prevent them from opening in a new tab using Quicktime was to disable the plugin (QuickTime).

  MIME MP3 settings in Quicktime format have been unchecked and the settings of Windows extension all are defined on Windows Media Player as the default player for MP3s.

  Hello sewing1243, 21 firefox now uses the codecs that are included in your operating system that allow him to directly read mp3 and mpeg (also for html5 videos). in order to disable that, enter about: config in the address bar of firefox (confirmed the message information where it appears) and search for the preference named media.windows - media - foundation.enabled. Double-click it and change its value to false.

  Another way to download files without tweaking the above-mentioned preference would be to click right on the link that leads to an mp3 file or right click on the drive in firefox and choose to download the file like that...
