    Windows Media Player sharing videos?

    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?

    PS I know that videos can be shared as I already have a video shared between computers.

    Hi Nahtzee,

    You can add videos again and check or on the destination computer, close Windows Media Player and check.

    Step 1: You can check if the types of files to your videos (seasons) are supported by Windows Media Player. See the article below:

    Information on the types of media files that supports Windows Media Player

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992

    Step 2: Ensure that the seasons or the videos are available in the follow-up case. For more information on the issue of follow-up and localization, see the link below:

  • Windows Media Player 12 - Video DVD plays but the images are not displayed

    I have a DVD that we created with Adobe Encore.  It has a mixture of video and still images to a timeline.  I play this back on a new computer Windows 7 with Windows Media Player 12.  The DVD plays back fine until it reaches the fixed image on the timeline.  At that time the reading shows just the last frame of the video to the video portion.  The audio continues, but it does not show the image.  We tried multiple image formats, and nothing seems to work (.jpg, .tiff, .psd).  The video is very good reading but with CyberLink DVD player and on a standard TV/DVD player.

    Any thoughts?

  • Windows Media Player enabled at startup interferes with sound, video and other sources

    Hi, this is a known issue since I've had this laptop second hand! But always thought that one of the USB flash drives was the cause (Sandisk Cruzer Micro U3), since the mouse cursor blinks like crazy until everything is fully charged and becomes stable. It is clear now Windows Media Player peut cause this conflict for two reasons. A single, "WMP" is pre-activated on startup? (as confirmed with the Task Manager, he just goes there and "sparkles" like crazy). And two, "WMP" wants to seize all media, he can find by default automatically; I "can I" accidentally put as such (during an update of Windows that you are prompted), not sure?

    A purchased late 2009 "Pinnacle PCTV Pro HDTV USB Stick" product had never worked right? Cause the software "TVCenterPro" was unstable, and TV shows have been troubled and often froze. OEM is finally released with a great release of TVCtr Pro5x ("TVCenter6"), and it works much better! But I could only install it in trial mode until I found the CD product key.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled TVC6; but no TV (or FM radio) channels can be found in the full activation mode? And better actually worked in "trial mode; which didn't make any sense? Pursuit of the investigation, that's when I discovered "WMP" behaviour above; and forced a complete process tree removal. I did the same thing to TVC6, which cound not 'see' peripheral integrated audio from the laptop in full mode? And on reloading the program, it worked! TVC6 can now detect the device audio and pick up channel and stations by their identifiers as he did in "test" mode There's more to refine what I should do to properly operate the TVCenter6. But I need to know why "WMP" havoc on audio, video and other sources, hardware and software!

    The 'specifications' are Internet Explorer 9 (new), Vista Home Basic SP-2 and Windows Media Player 11.0.6002.18311. The embedded video is ATI Radeon Express and the audio Realtek High definition, the processor is Intel Pentium Dual Core & so on.

    * The system doesn't have a virus etc and is up to date. Has anyone met a similar behavior with Windows Media Player?

    PS: I just start WMP(11x) again, and of course, the mouse cursor begins to blink like crazy immediately. The only solution is to make the highest (force the tree closed the process and prevent WMP launched with the use of the other audio video).

    It turned out that the real problem was much worse than I thought! I had to reinstall sound, video and other device drivers; Windows Management Framework Core for Vista x 86 [(bundle 32 bits: Windows Powershell 2.0, Windows Remote Management 2.0 ("WinRM"), Background Intelligent Transfer Service 4.0 ("BITS"))], etc.. And preparation tool system update to find and fix registry I didn't know were there? (42 total, only 4 keys were fixed. The other 38 were removed one by one, after finding a way to change the access permissions; not even administrator has for Vista Home Basic; for files also). Addition of a few executables of line at the command prompt (indicated in respective Microsoft etc. support messages and articles online); and what you said that I had already done all troubleshooting (failed?). After working on it for two days, the system suddenly broken to normal; and works better than ever. Windows Media Player (11 x) is working great now and is no longer remains in memory when opening and closing several times; hardware audio and video is surprisingly better; even the works of volume mixer! And that weird State "crazy cursor" that caused the blue screen error if allowed to go on long enough are gone! (even after the insertion of misc USB flash and other devices). Windows updates found nothing to "change" other than the periodic updates. I also ran the command line to stop several languages of the poll"(tout ce qu'il s'appelle?), and"Windows features"appears much faster than the overall speed and performance." All that's left is to tweak "Windows features" for optimum performance; Therefore, the problem is solved!

    Please note: I can't turn off the storage management removable and Remote Differential Compression etc to speed up Vista even more (not). TVCenter6 works fine but "hangs" in memory (at the end).

    For these questions, please go to the related post via this link: optional features of Windows cannot be enabled or disabled, hidden Windows updates cannot be uninstalled.

    Support: Please add a "Mark" button for the problems solved by the user (and when Microsoft does not provide the answer, as is the case with all other messages); so I can close the nets, I opened as 'resolved on mine'.

  • How to make. To read with Windows Media Player MOV video format files

    My Kodak Zi8 video camera to use it. MOV format which do not play with the application Windows Media.  Does anyone know if there is an available Windows Update to resolve this problem?  I know that there are tools to convert the MOV format as AV1, but it's a bit complicated to do.  Y at - it a simple way to get the MOV file to play with Windows Media.  ITunes does not offer the features I want, for example to make a film of my video files.

    MOV files are QUICKTIME from APPLE files and can be played in Windows Media Player without conversion.  You will need to find a converter to convert Quicktime to WMV files, if you don't like the AVI format. Bob Larson Access MVP

  • Open Firefox Windows Media Player for video files

    I need to make Firefox to open the actual Windows Media Player application (not a plugin, the window real app) when clicking on video links, for example, WMV. These file types are already associated in Windows Explorer with WMPlayer, but this has no effect on Firefox.

    What happens now is that, after you have clicked on a video, I get a screen black with yellow icon of VLC Player (VideoLAN VLC installed on my PC) in the Center and no video. I don't want to launch VLC or internal plug-ins.

    You can change the type of application opens for each kind of type in Firefox options.

  • Windows Media Player and a 5.1 Surround sound

    I recently bought a Dell Inspiron 660 and I use the speaker system, I had with my old computer - a set of very good quality Sony 5.1 Surround Sound speakers.

    I tested the speakers under sound settings - all speakers are appearing in the work. I also played music using Nero media player and Media Player Classic - everything works fine.

    However, whenever I try to play music in Windows Media Player - the only sound from two speakers?

    I'm confused here - I know that the speakers work, as evidenced by the sound test and the fact that they work with other media players, then why they won't work with Windows Media Player. Have you tried a few "fix - its" Microsoft - nothing has worked so far.

    I use Windows 7 (even on my old computer - incidentally where the media player worked well) and equipped with K-Lite codec pack.

    Anyone has any ideas - I use Windows Media Player the most and have all my songs stored there, so it's going to be a real pain if I can't use it and it's my favorite player, but it's just annoying and frustrating.

    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Try this.

    -Go to the control panel
    -Find the icon of speakers
    -On the devices tab of reading, find your set of speakers and click Properties
    -Click on the enhancements tab
    -Check the box "Speaker Fill".
    -Click OK.
  • Have Windows XP... Asking me to update Flash Player for videos but there is no option of XP

    All of a sudden without vids will play... I watch that version is not safe and I need to update... All update options for Windows 7, 8 and others, but no option for Flash for the XP system... Seems "allowing", I can get around...

    Two updated versions are currently:

    • 18.0.0.194
    • 13.0.0.296

    If you cannot install 18.x, then you would need to use the Adobe uninstaller program to remove 17.x. otherwise, Setup for 13.x will always tell you the superior version already.

    It has a link to uninstaller in our article of support here: Flash Plugin - keep up-to-date and solve problems.

  • Windows Media Player 11 is blank and no sound during playback of videos .wmv

    Its a recent Windows XP installation of origin as well as all updates (for example. SP2, SP3 etc) so straight to media player 11 with no previous versions.  Videos probably date from before the player.  Codec issue maybe?

    XP did earlier versions of WMP installed & running, go to

    run, type: MPLAYER2

    Try in WMP, go to tools, options, look for the "file types" tab, select all, maybe tweak

    others.

  • Windows media player (11) starts, but does not play file

    When I double-click an audio file, WMP opens but then does not play the file.

    MP3 and WMA (and other formats) files are configurΘ for dΘmarrer with default WMP and video files to various formats still work very well.
    I can get the audio to play by doing a right click and select 'Open with' - 'WMP '.  Drag and drop files into the playlist now also does not work.
    I'm under WMP 11 on XP Pro version.
    Any ideas?

    This just started recently?
    If so, what has changed?

    Try to uninstall the codec pack, it can cause conflicts, play media files.

    If the problem persists, try reinstalling the Media Player and test.

    In addition, you can test a corrupted profile by testing under a new account:
