• Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service missing in Windows Vista

  I use Vista and WMP11.  I have all the Vista and WMP11 installed updates.  I'm trying to set up the sharing and noticed that the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service is totally absent from Services.  I ran the Vista System File Checker and it did not help.  How do we install this service?

• 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.

  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 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.

• 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!

  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
  

• 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.

  Parth

  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.

• Windows Media Player-how delete the audio files in the WMP library and add album art

  How can I get rid of dublicate on WMP songs? How can I get all the cover art?

  To make WMP automatically look for the cover, make sure retrieve additional information from the Internet are checked in Tools - Options - Library (press Ctrl + M, if you don't see the Tools menu). The only add missing information option is recommended.

  Regarding duplicates, I suggest that you try to reset the media library. Note firstly reset the library will make you lose all play counts and ratings too. Then, follow these steps:

  -Restart the PC.
  -Click Start, type services.msc in the search field and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service. If its status is started, double-click on the service and click on stop.
  -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
  -In this file, rename the old Media Player like Media Player folder. If you do not see the folder, then it is probably hidden. Set Explorer to view the hidden files and folders and show protected system files.
  -Launch WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt. Check if the problem persists.

• Get a fixed image and audio while playing a movie in Windows Media Player, also get the message: "network is too busy to read the file to its original quality.

  Original title: Windows Media Player

  When I go to play a movie using windows MediaPlayer all I get is an imagwe again with audio and this message 'network is too busy to read the file to its original quality. Also, all my other media playing programs read the video but are rather "lag". I think the problem is that I already used a program to download torrents called 'BitTorent' and maybe this has used up all my bandwidth or processing speed? Not really sure but would really like it if I could still use WMP and I'm looking for resolution to my problem?

  Thank you

• How to disable the pop up "Windows Media Player cannot download the information on the media... "after the extraction of a CD without activation of network connectivity.

  When I copy a CD with Windows Media Player, I get the message pop up after the investigation period is over: "Windows Media Player cannot download the media for this CD information. The other titles, artist, and album will be identified as "Unknown" in your library. For best results, connect to the Internet or manually add media for CD information. »

  I know that the message appears when I turn on the setting to allow WMP to connect to the internet to get information about the media, but I don't want WMP does. What I want is a button I can push on the pop-up that says "don't show this message again" (similar to the warnings seen in internet explore). How can I disable this pop-up window without activating the internet connection option.

  In case you're wondering, the data from the internet are incompatible in the naming convention so when I rip an audio book, so I can listen to my mp3 player, I can't completely post-processing script because not all of the disks in a set have a coherent on the slopes or even name the disc etc. At least drives marked 'Unknown' is consistent and so easy to script for the reduction to a single MP3 file.
