  Windows Media Player 12 library issues

  The library settings of WMP on my Win7 x 86 Ult PC appear to have corrupted after clicking on a BSOD just as I recorded a new network folder in music library settings. It was very well until now, but after the restart, will organize > manage libraries > music does not return a screen. Other libraries, such as the image will be open a screen and can be kept, but it seems that the media in these cases does not actually view.

  Restore the system to a point before the BSOD did not fix the issue.

  Running MS FixIt for Windows Media Player has not fixed the problem.

  Running sfc/scannow does not detect any problems.

  Deletion of the library and the settings deleting the folder AppData/Microsoft/Media Player did not help.

  The only possible solution I am aware of what I have not tried is to uninstall/reinstall WMP via Add or remove features - I'm reluctant to do for the simple reason that this step seems also to uninstall Windows Media Center, I receive countless hours over the past four years, get the installer of my _extremely_ preferences - and there are also of the OEM changes (its a VAIO Sony's older) as art of support and background disc changer that I would struggle to restore.

  Have to reinstall Media Center from scratch would be a disaster even greater that losing the music library, which is a fairly large disaster already.

  Someone knows some way to correct this problem _without_ lose all my settings in Media Center?

  PROBLEM SOLVED

  I noticed another possible solution in another thread and it worked - in Explorer to delete the folder music 'Libraries' section, click on the section heading 'Libraries' and select 'Restore default libraries' in the menu.

  I then could open WMP and add my network via the feature folder successfully organize.

• I deleted a single file from my Windows Media Player 11 library and now I want it in my library - how should I do this?

  Am running Windows XP and removed a single file of the library only (and not from the library and my computer) and can see the file in the folder, it can play in Windows Media Player by clicking on it in the folder, but can't find a way to 'restore' the file so I can see it again in my WMP library.  Any way to do this without rebuilding the entire library?

  Hi JohnEvergreen,

  Follow these steps:

  (a) open Windows Media Player (WMP).

  (b) access to the "library". Click the menu "file" at the top of WMP. Select "Add to library" and wait for the dialog box labeled in order to pop open.

  (c) restore files. Click on the 'Advanced Options' button in the dialog 'Add to library'. In the column "watched folders" make sure that the folder that contains your original music is selected, which is indicated in the column "Type" as "Rip folder. Look under the section "watched folders" and ensure that a tick is filled to "Add files previously deleted from the library." Click on the 'OK' button and wait for the dialog box "Add to library by searching computer" to open it.

  (d) in the look in dialog box "Add to library by searching computer" at the 'progress' bar, indicated by a green line moving from left to right; also, below, monitor the "found files" and "added files" account.

• Windows Media Player turns on by itself

  I had a problem with Windows Media Player acting on itself, forcing himself to the front as the dominant program.  This is not the case when I boot up, but rather at random, usually when I'm games.  It will automatically turn on, forces itself upward, and even when I close it, it immediately turns on again.  He dominates so much that I can't even in the start menu to shut down the computer.  Usually, I have to do Ctrl/alt/del and then stop the pc from there.  Reboot and then it will be fine.  It's totally random, sometimes not happening everyday, then happening several times.  Someone at - he heard of this or know how I can fix?  Thanks in advance for any help :)

  Hi vegaz70,

  Have you been able to solve the problem by changing the multimedia keys?

  You may have to the Windows Media Player application to start when a specific action is executed (fired) by using the Task Scheduler.

  Delete the task (Windows Media Player to start) in the Task Scheduler. To do this, follow the steps mentioned below:

  (a) click Start , and then look for Task Scheduler. Click on Task Scheduler under program.

  (b) in the Task Scheduler, click Task Scheduler Library in the left sidebar, you will see the list of scheduled tasks. Select the task and click on remove in the right sidebar.

• Windows media player music disappears reappears does not recognize files

  Can someone help me?  I have a problem with the recognition of music files (MP3, WMA, etc.) in Windows Media Player 12 (version 12.0.7601.17514).  I'm on Windows 7, 64-bit, on my computer tower to my main hard drive. I store my media (mainly), MS Office, PDF, and other various files on disc 2 of the secondary, internal size TB.  I have an external USB hard drive enclosure I can insert my player with internal 2 TB.  This allows me to take my multimedia files with me on vacation at home.  I can use this external box to read the media on other people's computers files, when I go on vacation.  When I put the internal drive in the external case in media players, the files appear, but do not work.  Their Player Windows Media displays a red "X" next to a lot of music album files and, when these red "Xs" appear, they appear in a cluster through the album of music together.  On my home computer, these Reds 'Xs' do not appear!  Another thing, some of the albums mysteriously disappear and reappear weeks later.  However, some of the files, when I play, his corrupt and static as in some places.  Sometimes the music files will play at Midway until it cuts and a red 'X' appears.  What happens here?

• WIndows media player music sorce

  Hi, I have on my computer a few music files in various formats, lower quality formats are used with iTunes for usage of mobile devices but I have the best quality formats that I use to listen to music around the House and I use the 'windows media player' but when I open the drive it is load all music files , I would limit the player just for higher quality files, and if I try to create a playlist I don't understand in the forms of album with all of the work of art as.

  How can I solve this problem?

  Thank you

  Window7, 64

  It must only be including these defined folders in the library music in Media Player.

  However in the iTunes preferences, you can set a different location for its library. Or hold the SHIFT key when you start iTunes to get the ability to change/create a new library.

• Windows 8 Xbox and Windows Media Player music app

  I think it happened when I upgraded to Windows 7 to 8.  Some of my old purchased music appears in the music app Xbox but can only be streamed. How can I get that back in Windows Media Player if I can do things with him (i.e. sync on my phone)?

  Hello

  To regain the rights to the files, contact the provider of the files. Some online stores offer this and likely to call it activation of the computer, computer authorization, library restoration, synchronization license or something similar.

  How to restore your digital rights varies from one store to the other. A store might limit the number of times that you can restore your rights, or it can limit the number of computers on which you can use the songs or videos that you got on their part. Some stores allow to restore the rights on all protected files.

  For more information on the store's policies, refer to support customer or the info on the help of your store. If you got your music or videos in a store that is no longer in business, you will not be able to restore your rights in this content.

  It will be useful.

• Windows Media Player - corrupted library

  Separated from this thread.

  EIS,

  I am running Windows 7, 64-bit home etsur and have Windows Media Player V12.

  I have two big problems with WMP, the first is a library corrupt - I can not add properly

  files to the library.  The other problem is that WMP will not successfully "apply media

  Change information after I used the "Update Album Info" feature for albums that have been properly added. It evokes the

  bar of progression, says it is 100% complete, but there has been no change in the Explorer of W...
   
  As part of an attempt to solve the first problem I tried everything that follows, (not in this)

  ranking).

  Convenience store of the Player library run Media 1.).

  2.) run Media player troubleshooting utility parameters.
  3.) and then, if necessary, run [alt - t], advanced tool, restoration of the library
  4.) remove the WMP to force a complete rebuild - close WMP library database in the start menu

  engine search box type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player in Windows explorer which

  seems to remove all files (but not the subfolders). See if that solved the problem.
  5.A) Unload WMP - Panel, programs and features, [left] activate Windows features

  on or off, multimedia, clear features checkbox Windows Media Player, Yes, OK, restart the PC.
  5b.) Reload WMP - control panel programs and features, [left] activate Windows features

  On or off, characteristics of media, select the Windows Media Player box, Yes, OK, restart the PC.

  After 2). I thought that the first problem was resolved that 120 new albums ("unknown") have been

  successfully added, but I noticed that there are a few folders that were not added and

  cannot be added manually. Verification of the files that are included with the library management is not helping either. And the second problem persists.

  If you can offer any new help, I would appreciate it.

  Hi Steve, this is certainly the WAV format that's your problem. WAV is generally very bad marking support: WMP only WAV files tags once wrote during extraction, and they is not editable later. For more information, see

  http://thewelltemperedcomputer.com/SW/WMP/wav.htm

  There is no need to re - tear the relevant albums that you can only convert WAV files to another format using a tool like dBpoweramp. Recommended formats are MP3 or WMA Lossless if you do not want quality loss.

• Windows media player icon library

  Hello community, I am a true beginner so please bare with me. When I play my own videos recorded on Window Media Player, there is a 3 library icon that is square at the top right of the image what opening on you allows in other files such as images etc.

  When I send this video by email as an attachment and open it in my mail SENT to my computer to check if everything was OK, the library icon is still there on the video to access my computer as before.

  (1) can I assume that this icon is only show on my video sent that I use the same computer, he sent.

  (2) can I assume that the person who receives the video accessory on e-mail can not see the icon and therefore does not have access to my files on the computer.

  The library icon shows that if you go to the bottom of the video to indicate the break game etc, the library icon above as shown right.

  I do not share my computer with others.

  See you soon

  Hello

  This icon toggle you between the current playback mode (i.e. When you actually watch the video) and the mode of the library (where you make playlists and put things, etc.). That's all it is - its got nothing to do with which had permission to post this video file on other computers.

  When you send the video file to someone by e-mail all that they get is the video file. This file can get opened by Windows Media Player or any other appropriate video player application. If the recipient uses Windows Media Player this icon will behave as it does for you - they can switch between the two modes (but on their computer). Basically, after emailing the video file, it will be then also exists on the hard drive of their computer and they will play them hard drive.

  The video file attachment of e-mail in your sent folder exists on your hard drive, not the recipients.

  A 'regular' video file, sent by electronic mail does not allow the recipient to access files on your computer, at least that separately configure you access for them in some way.

  PS Please be careful opening email attachments (even from people you know) because they can be a source of pollution.

• Cannot remove Windows Media Player 12 library

  I want to remove the entire library in Windows Media Player 12 (running Windows 7) so I can start over with a new database. With previous versions of WMP, it was simple - I get the Media Player folder in the Local environment and remove all files (leaving the files). Now when I try to do it I get the message "cannot complete this action because the file is open in Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service. Close the file and try again. "How can I do this?

  Hi red high Mahoney,

  Thank you for using the Microsoft Answers forums.

  Make sure that the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service network service or Windows Media Connect does not work as follows:

  1. click on start and then click on run
  2. in the run box, type services.msc
  3. in Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service or Windows Media Connect (WMC) and then verify that the status column is started
  4. double-click on the service and click on the Stop button, change the type to disabled startup
  5 restart the computer.

  To reactivate the function repeat the above process, by clicking on the Start button instead of the stop and change the type of startup to automatic.

  Now try to delete libraries.

• Windows Media Player keeps opening by itself. Whenever I close it, it opens upward again.

  Also, when it is open, it keeps dominant control of pc by making the application active every few seconds.  If I go into another window it comes down soon to WMP as the active application.

  This is a new computer.  He did not at first, but began to arrive a few days after installing iTunes.  I realized that I was still running SP1 of Vista so I downloaded and installed SP2.  He ran for awhile ok then after a few hours of running WMP began to open again.

  Sometimes he begins to start and sometimes it starts after the computer is running.  The last time he started to happen, I was in the middle of another windows update software and was not actively working on the computer.  Just run the update.

  It won't let me be disable it with the Task Manager.  As soon as I stop the application it opens right away again.

  I searched my card documents and settings of virus with the latest free version of AVG and it is came with a Trojan infection and moved to the vault. This solves the popping up of WMP: D!

  In addition, the Trojan horse was named "Agent2.BMMK Trojan horse"
  See you soon and I hope this has been useful to some ^^
  EDIT: I have the Lycosa keyboard also but have never had a problem with WMP pop-ups until today. Could be the keyboard, but there still everything went well after the removal of the Trojan horse.
