• Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service or a service it depends on failed to start. (Windows 8)

  A problem occurred recently in which I can't stream my music from WMP with other devices in the home as my Xbox 360 group. It has always worked well and this is the first time, it's happened. When I tried to connect my PC to the Xbox, my PC has appeared on the list, but when it connects a reason any. I then went to my PC to make sure that everything was in order. I open Windows Media Player and watched the streaming options. Everything was going in order, except that the media from my computer was turned on not a reason any. I clicked on ' turn streaming media on "and it led me to the page of the control panel option. It reads simply "media streaming is not enabled" (as well as usual and precautions which not). I clicked on the button below "streaming media turn on. This is where my problem appears. Loads of my computer and nothing happens. I tried a few times and he told me then that the title of the question says. He then invites you to me to go to the service administrator tools. So I did and I went through the list of services until I found than the one titled "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service. He was not running although it should be automatically. I clicked on it and press start and it says "Windows cannot start the service on Local computer" with error 1068: the dependency service or group could start.

  If anyone has a solution I would be very happy. I tried to be as complete as I could in the description.

  I had this problem as well, with 8.1 widows.  On the Dependencies tab, I had two components, the HTTP Service and Windows Search. I found that Windows Search has been disabled.  I don't know how it's spent, but allowing him to corrects the problem.

• Media Player network sharing service uses 40% of my processor

  Hello

  I bought the HP P6270IN with win 7. everything is perfect, but... I have a problem... media player network sharing service uses 40% of my processor . I do not want to use WMP library. Please advice how to solve this problem.

  Hi Parth,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

  You use the Windows Media Player network sharing feature?

  If you use this service while the service is required to operate to check computers or network devices with which you share your music. This service also index/updates of the library that is shared.

  If you do not use this service and still is using the CPU you can change the type of start up manual (which is to be launched by the user).

  To disable the service temporarily

  1. opening the Services Control Panel, or type services.msc into the start menu search/run box.

  2. double-click on Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service, and then change the service to Manualstartup.

  This has now disabled temporarily the service unless you manually start the service. You can restart the computer and check if the service has been stopped and the CPU usage was down.

  Hope this information is useful.

  I do not recommend, you delete all file system, because it can cause you many problems.
  But in general using unlock you can remove almost anything literally...

  http://www.filehippo.com/download_unlocker/

  It will show which process is the file/folder you want to delete, and even it will remove the process or service holding the file/folder you want to delete...

  go at your own risk with regard to the deletion of system files
  

• Windows Media Player network sharing problems

  Hello

  I operate a laptop Gateway using Windows 7. In recent weeks, I started receiving messages saying "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Configuration Application has stopped working and needs to be closed." After this, another message appears asking if I want to report the problem to Windows. This happens about once every 5 minutes or so, even when the Media Player does not work. If anyone has experienced this problem and is there a way to fix or disable this feature of sharing media player? Thank you for your time.

  Patrick Taylor

  Hello patrick1210,

  Sorry for the delay in responding to your message.

  In the views of others with the same question, it seems that maybe that's a problem with the file mf.dll.
  Some have been able to replace the file.

  A few suggestions:
  (1) run SFC to see if you have corrupted system files.
  Click Start
  Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
  Click on "Run as Administrator"
  At the command prompt, type: sfc/scannow

  This will check for any violation of the integrity and repair any damaged operating system files.

  Reboot your system.

  (2) register the dll from the command prompt. Go to a command prompt, right click and select 'run as administrator '.
  Regsvr32.exe mf.dll

  If please reply back and let us know if this helps with your question.

  Sincerely,

• Windows media player network sharing the CPU excessive service

  After you have enabled the sharing of multimedia files, I find that this service runs continuously and consumes about 25% of the time processor. In addition, Windows Media Player uses also a surcharge of 25% when they are active. I have a quad core cpu and even if it is a considerable success on my computing speed.

  I've tried several things:

  Deleted then recreated the home group

  People with disabilities and rebooted Media Sharing

  Rebuilt the windows media player library

  Looking for corrupted hard disk files

  Run my computer for three days without rebooting! (Still not enough to complete the indexing!)

  None of them worked.  In addition, when windows media player is active, it seems to be constantly updated in the library. (I think this explains the 25% CPU usage).

  I have search databases, etc. online and although this problem is frequently mentioned, the only "solution" was to disable sharing... which seems a little extreme and also limits how do I use this feature because I have to restart it whenever I wanted to stream a file.

  Help, please!

  Thank you...

  Well!  I have an answer.  Apparently with a large media library (I have several thousand titles and 150 gigs of stuff) it takes forever for the library index for distribution to work properly.  After several days of 50% use of media player and the service of streaming media... they finally stop! The CPU usage is back to normal... the library is indexed and all is right with the world. I would like someone from Microsoft said this long ago... and I really hope this helps others with the same problem.

• Windows Media Player network sharing using 33% CPU resources

  Network Media Media Player sharing module chew cpu

  I have a problem to use cpu similar to others on the use of the CPU window media player.  I used process Explorer tool and concluded that the wmpnetwk process was continulally with 33% of the resources of my CPU, even when the media player is started.  Media player itrself use about 20-22% cpu when it is open and put a media is underway, which is all the time. MY PC has a CPU triple heart so it is a pretty big piece of the CPU!   I tried all of the fixes suggested without result.  It is perhaps a more unique problem.  I've upgraded to Windows 7 64 vista premium 64 premium, but not to install a clean (delete all).  Found a number of problems related to the user's requests and reinstalled them.  As media player and media center are part of the operating system apparently I can't do that for them.  This JUST started happening.  Is it possible the update did something?  Also, I have a laptop with windows 7 preinstalled and won't have the same problem.  I look at this turning point multimedia and Media Player off and setting adobe media player as my default until someone can come to a better suggestion.

  Quick update.  Player use and cpu just off center media and the media is back at a low level.  Remains to be seen.  Why wmpnetwk use so much cpu?

  In fact, I found that my step can be a little higher and quite tedious.

  You can actually do the following which allows to save time! Wmplayer.exe is responsible for managing the shared library, wmpnetwk.exe share this library on the network(Please correct me if I'm wrong here)

  1. Open Windows Media Player and remove all monitored folders and close Windows Media Player (for me Windows Media Player became unresponsive after he consumed more than 300 MB, so I closed it by force), open it again with an eye on the Windows Media Player (wmplayer.exe) process to ensure that the CPU is acceptable.
  2. Add a tracking of file in Windows Media Player.
  3. When the dialog box opens showing the progress of the files added to the library, keep an eye so it gets stuck for a long time (about 2-5 min +, normally, you will find that the memory usage begins to boost quickly) and take a note which folder/sub-folder it got stuck on. (It is a good indicator that a file in this folder may be corrupted), if the dialogue ends while watched folder has no problem.
  4. If there is a problem with step 3, close the dialog progress, remove this folder monitored, close Windows Media Player and move half the files in this folder that you noted to another folder not monitored . Repeat steps 2 through 4 until the watched folder performs its search.
  5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 until you have added all the files in Windows Media Player.

  I don't know why there no code in windows media player to check if corrupted files, but it is definitely a leak memory in the application and I hope this will be corrected my Microsoft soon!

• Windows Media Player library sharing request

  I received a request to share Windows Media Player library. I'm not on a network. Is this some type of malware or something? How should I handle this? A month ago, I received a similar request for iTunes sharing Jeremy-PC. Help, please. My computer has been hacked?

  You're invited because you are on a network, this is a security feature of Windows.

• WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER... Missing codecs

  My windows media player use to play DVD & VCD but now missing the codec so can't watch these now. Download the codecs but them uninstalled as apparently do IE, Media Player etc unstable. Is anyone able to help with this please... Thanks :)

  Hello

  Thanks for posting in this forum. I understand that DVD is not playing in Windows media player, installed some codecs but these codecs were Internet Explorer unstable. Let us know if it's the misunderstanding of the question.

  A codec is a software to compress or decompress a digital media file, such as a song or a video. Windows Media Player and other programs use codecs to play and create digital media files.

  A codec can consist of two components: an encoder and a decoder. The encoder performs the compression function (coding) and the decoder performs the decompression function (decoding). Some codecs include both components and some codecs only one of them.

  For example, when you rip a song from an audio CD on your computer, the player uses the default Windows Media Audio codec to compress the song into a compact WMA file. When you play that WMA file (or any WMA file that may be broadcast from a Web site), the player uses the codec Windows Media Audio to decompress the file for music can be played through your speakers.

• Sumvisin Cyclone MKV Media Player network connection problem

  Hi I recently bought this Sumvision Cyclone MKV HDMI Network Media Player V2, everything was perfect at the start, he was playing files via USB and then I connected to a wired LAN, everything was great, I have Windows 7 ultimate and thought, maybe that's a problem. I didn't have a standing thread throughout the living room, so I bought the upgrade from USB WI - FI £14.99, once again, everything was good, connected and it worked perfectly. But now my problem is that when I go in the NETWORK portion of the menu connection, I find my network, put in my username and password and all I get is "LOGON Failed", I have tried changig my username and password several times now, and everything else I can think of. The box is always connected to the internet which is evident by the internet service still doesn't work. I've updated the firmware with the "Youtube activation", the "Fix Windows 7" and "disabled by default subtitles", but none of these things helped, I just additional options in the menu. I tried so many things now that I'm losing my grip and thinking, that I post here to see if anyone has had similar problems and solved the problem. I'm not too hot on networking and maybe there's a protocol step by step I'm missing.

  Just an additional info, I use a siemens gigaset 4 ports + wireless router I have 3 PC connected via an ethernet cable and I have1 spare ethernet cable for when I do the repairs. My officejet 4670 wireless printer is working fine on my network and can be used by the other PCs at home. I also have nintendo Wii I have ith wireless network connection. As I said, the media player can connect to my router, but it can not connect to my pc through the router, it says my network, but when the username and password is set, it just says: connection failed. I'm at my wits end with this and I have idea o what I am doing wrong, please help!

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi RealGoneKid,

  It can be a problem with the USB adapter that is used when you connect the media player on the network.

  First of all, I would say that you check if it works when you connect the player via a USB cable and check if it works.

  If this does not work when connected via the USB cable there is a possibility that the wireless USB adapter may cause the problem.

  I suggest that you contact the device manufacturer for more support on the issue.

  I hope this helps!

• Media Player 12 "play to" missing option in trying to sink from PC to TV

  original title; Media Player 12 "play to."

  I have a Sharp Aquos certified DLNA TV news.  I can reach my home network using a Wi - Fi connection and use internet television applications.

  When I try to stream from my computer (win7 with wmp12) on TV, I don't see the "" play to "option."

  When I choose the game icon in the game tab, I get an error message "no devices found media."  I greeted streaming, I tried to allow programs through the firewall... nothing.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  There are different types of DLNA certification. to play at work, the device
  must be a DMR (Digital Media Renderer). Your TV can 'pull' using DLNA and is
  a DMP (Digital Media Player), but apparently is not a DMR. I downloaded the
  Manual and the only references DLNA are for functions of TRACTION. This would seem to
  be the case with many Sharp televisions.
   
  Strong customer service may be able to confirm what DLNA features are supported.
