Windows media player libraries

The problem is simple. When I work with my WMP library and delete a folder. for example, my pictures and my videos; they stop to allow me access to their subfolders in my OS library, if you use windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, with WMP12.

This means that... I exclude my pictures folder in the application of WMP and I then cannot access in my library to explore as well. To access it in the Solution Explorer, I have to 'include a folder '. I once then re-included the folder my pictures, and my videos... I am able to access their subfolders in Explorer... and this translates into my WMP with these libraries available to update my information on the media.

I made this several times and it's starting to annoy me a little since I only want--and I want to say ONLY... my MUSIC library to be included as a source for my WMP library.

To summarize:

1. out of my photos and my videos as a library in WMP makes it IMPOSSIBLE to access in my library OS browser explore.

2. to access the libraries excluded my WMP library... I include in my Explorer OS to access them and their subfolders.

3. once I re - include these folders... WMP starts to update the information on the media of the respective files in my Windows Media Player library.

I want to access my OS Explorer and make them unavailable for my Windows Media Player. Please tell me how to do it.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello

From your problem description, I understand that when you delete files from the Windows Explorer is removed if deleted Windows Media Player. Please let me know if you do not experience this problem.

It is design when you delete the folder of Windows Media Player, it will be deleted in the Explorer and you can not access the subfolders and we need include folders.

Hope this information is helpful and let us know if you need help with Windows in the future. We will be happy to help.

    Hey everybody,

    I recently replaced my Xbox 360 with an Xbox-especially that I like the Media Center of the things, I have the XboxOne added as a UPNP to Play streaming device that seems to work great.

    Now my problem is seen of Windows Media Player 12, I made a list of things that I would like to stream (organized in subfolders) is the problem, Windows Media Player does not in fact the subfolders display, instead of this it shows a ridiculously long list of things contained in these files that I added to my library., how to make some organization to the library in WMP 12?

    Look forward to suggestions.

    Nevermind - thought about it, had to add folders as a custom view with customized in WMP 12 Navigation pane.

    Open 'WMP 12'
    Choose "organize."
    Select "Custom Navigation pane"

    Check "Record" Under the images & Videos groups.

  • Lost all libraries in Windows Media Player

    I had a very serious fight with a browser hijacker. I had great support from Microsoft to get results in the race, but in the process lost all my music from Windows Media Player libraries. I know that they are still in the computer, somewhere, because they went during the time of repair, but came back twice during the process of return to the somewhat operational. Is it possible to search for music files? I don't know if I should remove the player and download it somewhere (?) or go to another player or what. Some files have been compiled for many years and are not replaceable. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, always keep up to date, have 4 GB of ram and 800 GB of free space on the HARD drive. I use MS Security Essentials with Malwarebytes and Advanced System Care Pro for maintenance. Is it possible to download a new copy of Media Player. I'm starting to ramble, so if anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd be deeply in your debt!

    This seems to be a question of recovery then. No other player will improve the situation, unless the files are accessible. I could cite this entire thread of resettlement, but I think it would be better to mark this as replied and post a new question in the section 'repair and recovery' the Forum... something along the lines of 'Files lost after Browser Hijack' and then briefly detail what happened, what support you have received (and where) and I hope that someone recommends a plan of action to try to recover the lost files.
    I'm sorry that a simpler solution is not an option!

  • A library fom a deleted user account still shows in my Windows Media Player "other libraries".

    I created a couple of local user accounts on my computer that I deleted later.  Even if the user accounts are no longer on my computer, their libraries still appear in Windows Media Player "Other libraries" on my system and for other people on my network. How can I get my computer to stop sharing of libraries that do not exist?

    In fact, I don't want one of my libraries in ANY of my user accounts appears on the computers of other network users.  How do I stop sharing libraries?

    Open services.msc and find the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service. If you stop and disable the service, that the libraries should no longer appear on other computers.

    But if you had a deleted user who always showed upward, you will have to dig into the registry to fix. I had the same problem with a deleted user and only just found out how to remove it.
    First you must find the SID of the user removed before removing all the elements in the registry.
    Look in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList. There are sub keys that represent the SIDS of the users of the system. When click on each sub-cles see you on the right side ProfileImagePath that can help determine who the user is.
    Once you have the SID go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\PREFERENCES\HME (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\PREFERENCES\HME if you use 32 bit 8 Win). Here will be locked by using the same SID you found under the ProfileList key. Delete the main folder that relates to the SID, you want to remove. To remove the SID folder, you may need to take ownership of the folder SID key.
    Then go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Media Player NSS\3.0\Media servers. Here will be another folder related to SID that you remove. After the two keys were removed, restart the Windows Media Player network sharing service.
  • Content of albums and libraries in Windows Media Player is removed

    Original title: WMP 11 Trashes my Playlists

    How can I keep WMP 11 to screw up my playlists?

    Several times I had to re-create all my playlist. After they are created, they work for a while.
    Then all to blow/unexpectedly when I open WMP 11 (on w/SP3 XP Pro installed) some of my albums disappeared and registration of the library is ransacked everything (songs missing, missing data, mysterious created albums).

    Is it one that once I re-created all my playlists that I can save the file somewhere so when WMP 11 trashes them later, I can just remove the information in WMP 11 and copy the file (s) back to basics to avoid re-creating all my playlists over and over?

    Thank you

    Hi Paul,.

    Welcome to the Microsoft community!

    The album and lists the library in Windows Media Player are removed.

    The problem may occur if the library database is corrupted.

    You did changes to the computer before the show?

    To overcome the problems which would pose if library database is corrupted, I suggest you follow the mentioned steps:

    Method 1:

    See the site:

    You cannot view, add, or delete items in the library of Windows Media Player 11

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/925718

    Method 2:

    See the site:

    Solve the problems of Windows Media Player video and other media or library

    http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_media_player_diagnostic/

    If you want to reuse the library list and the album, and then copy the contents of the %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player in a different folder, and whenever you want to reuse, just copy in the original folder.

    I hope this helps. If the problem persists, or if you have problems of Windows in the future, let us know and we would be happy to help you.

  • Windows Media Player keeps adding files to the image library

    Why Windows Media Player (version 12.0.10011.16397 on Windows 10) continue to add folders to the photo library? I have used libraries to manage all files-> deleted photos and add the only folder I want. After a while, even without having to restart Media Player, the default images and OneDrive files reappear. Please can someone stop this madness?

    I found the answer to this question. I had problems with cancelled OneDrive and re-Binder tries to solve the problem. In turn, every time I re-related OneDrive the additional files got added to the Media Player automatically and without notice.

  • How music from a different source to record automatically in windows media player?

    I use frostwire to get my music and I want to know how to configure my windows automatic update of the new media player music I down Frost wire

    Hello

    I suggest you to save music downloaded to the location of music library (Libraries\Music) files, it automatically adds the Windows media player files.

    You can also manage the library and add the location where files are saved.

  • Windows Media Player 11 on XP SP2 has lost all its music library and will not allow him to add again.

    I have the media player 11 and it worked very well.  Yesterday I opened a session and opened it, and there is no music in the library.  Playlists are still there.  I tried to manually add folders to watch. No joy.  When I repeated the procedure for adding, records Analyzer was still empty.  As if I never said what to monitor.

    I followed the advice offered in this forum at staceygumbert and followed a link to:

    http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/fixing-when-windows-media-player-library-wont-let-you-add-files/.

    This notice did not.  Once I deleted the database because it suggests that WMP asks about media sharing.  When I click on the button 'Settings' WMP fails and sends an error report.

    If I connect my wife, everything is OK.  I tried to copy its database through my user profile.  No joy.

    My Roku Soundbridge can't 'see' libraries.  However I think it's to be expected considering not having WMP does not all libraries.

  • Windows media player does not differentiate between the multiple discs from the same album

    editing by Windows media player

    All ripping a pair of compact discs windows libraries program "merges" both folders when I change the title of the album, the artist name, and genre stars, so that the list of songs is 1,1,2,2,3,3 etc. until runway 15 where the first, longest, cd continues to his last runway 23.  It's confusing to me, because I want to be able to label and burn each file separately.

  • transfer music downloaded to Windows Media Player

    I have Windows Media Player version 11.0.6002.18311 which I use to rip and burn music especially. When I download music, it usually goes in my folder of music on the hard disk and eventually finds his way in the WMP library. Sometimes I physically open it to give him a bit of a kick of thumb. But recently I downloaded an Album and tried to burn it with WMP, which can be fickle in the best of cases, and accidentally deleted in the process. After extraction and replacement of files in my music from the trash folder I can still play them on my computer through WMP, but I can't get back them in the library for some reason any. Can you please help.

    Hi, I'm not trying to be difficult, but in my version of WMC, there is no option advanced under Tools, which in itself is already quite difficult to find, and I couldn't locate a topic "Organize" or whatever it is on the management of libraries, sorry.
