  • Windows Media Player-random mode

    Windows media player

    I like to listen to my media player in shuffle mode, but he often plays a lot of the same songs. many songs have not yet been picked yet. Is there a setting so it takes songs completely random?

    As far as I know, shuffle mode * is * completely random, but if you do have a lot of songs, it will indeed come quickly the same songs.

    If you want to exclude the songs that were recently played, then you must create an AutoPlaylist, with affection as the last played Date is before 30 days and mix this auto playlist instead.

    By default, this playlist does not include songs that have not yet been played. To do this, you must first CONDITION with play count: Total overall is 0 , as in the example playlist at http://thewelltemperedcomputer.com/SW/WMP/screenshot/Playlist1.jpg .

  • Windows Media Player 11, DVD video, not big enough in fullscreen

    During playback of movies DVD with WMP 11 and in full screen, the video does not stretch to the edge of the screen.

    I have a flat screen monitor set to 1600 x 900. When I entered the mode full screen the video becomes a bit larger, but does not fill the edges of the screen. In other players such as InterWinDVD player or video Media Player Classic DVD of the CCCP play full screen completely to the edges of the screen (except for two black borders on the top and bottom do wide screen of culture).

    However in WMP 11 200% is not big enough. I was wondering if it is possible to get the video to play 300 or 400% in size?

    Here's what I mean:
    http://img44.imageshack.us/i/wmp11problems.jpg/

    Notice how the video area (Pink) is not stretched to fit the vertical edges of the screen.

    I really like WMP 11 due to SRS wow effects. Unfortunately, since the upgrade to a monitor flat screen with a resolution of 1600 x 900 WMP 11 the fact that the culture of the video. Other players I use InterWin DVD or the Media Player Classic CCCP do that mean the culture of the video. I am running Windows XP with SP3.

    Hey Helldiver.

    Check if you have the plug-ins installed to support the features of DVDs on your Media Player. Windows Media Player is a complete DVD player when combined with a DVD decoder (MPEG-2 decoder) with features such as full-screen video playback controls, ads chapter DVD and integrated pouch.

    If you are running Windows Vista Home Premium or Windows Vista Ultimate, DVD capabilities are included as part of the operating system. If you are running Windows Vista Home Basic, Windows Vista business, or Windows Vista Enterprise, you can enhance your DVD playback experience by purchasing a pack of decoder DVD or upgrade to a more powerful version of Windows Vista.

    Here is a link to the list of plugins that you can install to get the features of full fledge for you DVD:

    I started recently by using windows media player media sharing features and I wanted to share 2 seasons of a TV show from my office to my lap top, I added in, but after 20 minutes they still did not show again. They just take a while to appear here? And if so how long about?

  • Tips on how to make Windows Media Player DVD playback are not the player of Tosh

    I don't want to use the Toshiba Media Player pre-installed to play the DVD, I want to use the Windows Media Player installed. I can't change the default to WMP in the Panel DVD player as the only options are Player Toshiba or Nero.

    WMP can play CDs, MP3 etc but cannot even play DVDs in the drive. Anyone got tips on how to change this?

    I agree with Liam
    VLC Player is much better than WMP.

  • Windows Media Player ActiveX plays do not image, but the stand alone WMP application. Why?

    I use my Windows Media Player v11 with extra codec to play mp4 files (mp4 are not supported by default with WMP 11, so I had to install a codec). It works very well in the stand-alone application, but when I use the ActiveX control in the regulation, it does not use the codec and I get only sound... no picture. I thought that the ActiveX was merely an interface to the same application of base used by OR and the stand alone media player. And if it's the same kernel, it must use the same codec. What Miss me?

    I have a tip for you. If you download Quicktime 7 (QT), you can select the QT activex player (see picture). It plays mp4 and seems better. QT is free, so there shouldn't be any problem. Try and see if it make you good
