• The feature 'Play To' Windows 7 Windows Media Player plays only one item in the playlist

  I've used this feature in the past to play a playlist of video files, but recently when you try to play a playlist of MP3 files, I encounter extremely undesirable and incorrect behavior.  If I try to use the feature of "play to" WMP to play an album of MP3 music to my active DLNA home theater receiver, with success, it will play a song on the list, and then she repeated constantly that the only point until I manually hit the fast forward button or the rewind on the console of the player to a different element.  (Or double-click on a different entry.)  He did the same thing that I did a right click on the album and allows you to 'play' for the album, or if I add playlist to play each file individually to window.  I also tried to create a playlist in WMP and using play from here the exact behavior even.  There is absolutely no options or in the Play To WMP window in general, who seem to control this behavior at all, so any suggestions would be appreciated (because from my point of view, it's a rather massive bug obvious that I have no idea how he managed to pass in fact any sort of quality assurance tests either).

  1. the music files on the local computer? If not, where are they?
  2 do you have this job ever for you with music files?
  3. what brand/model home theater receiver?
   
  I'd be curious to know if you have a problem with other DLNA software. Some people have
  used http://www.kooraroo.com/download.php (there is a free trial version). This is not a

  Original title: strange going ons

  When I go to my music using windows Explorer, it shows a folder named unknown artists with 7 subfolders.

  When I bring the windows media player, it displays only an album with an unknown artist.

  When I open one of these subfolders, writing the name of the artist, but all the tracks have been listed as track 1, track 2, track... in the library, that I went to this artist's album. He entered all the information correctly. When I clicked open the location of the file that shows the location of the albums as one of the subfolders under unknow artist and all tracks as track 1...

  so, how did we can list everything correctly in the library but point to incorrect information?

• Windows Media Player will only play a sound with no video .avi and .mov

  I started having a problem where the Windows Media Player will only play the audio portion of my .avi and .mov video files.

  These files were created by my FlipCam or my Sony Handycam.

  I never had problems until recently and think that it is due to some kind of Windows Update.

  Both my computer and my wife's computer had the same problem and we are both using Windows XP Home Edition.

  I apologize if this topic already on this forum.

  Thanks for any help and advice.

  CoDec = compressor decompressor.
  A program is used to compress the file. You then need to unpack the file to play, you need the codec used to compress the file to decompress it on your pc.
  You need DVD playing software installed to power the mpeg codec, or you can buy a codec to just run in media player.
  AVI is a wrapper and may well contain more than 800 different file types, it has 800 different codecs!  Thus, to read an avi file, you should know what codec was used to do and have that installed on your pc to read.
  DV.avi is made with the dv codec, divx.avi is made with the divx codec.
  Of course, that manufacturers make their codecs, you must make sure you have the latest being, to be able to read files made with it, so everything just because you downloaded the codec divx 12 months ago does not mean it will play files created with codecs of today!

  I hope this explains it is ok for you.

  It surprises me that you say that you have downloaded all the updates of altest, but are still running wmp9, where we are now on WMP11 for XP and 12 for win7.

  I would update my WMP version first.

  Here is a page that will tell you that the codecs are on your pc and who has access to WMP 11.
  http://www.myvideoproblems.com/tutorials/HowToFindCodecs.html

  Here is a page that will tell you how to know what codec was used to create the file that you are trying to watch and also if you have the right codec for it
  http://www.myvideoproblems.com/tutorials/AVIcodec.html

  It is generally accepted that the codec packs adding is a bad idea, so if you need a codec to read a certain file, google it's manufacturer and just install the one you need.

  I would work just on the pc at the same time when you found what the problem is, you can fix on the other 2.

  Need more help with this, just ask.

• Error: "Windows Media Player cannot find the file. If you try to play, burn, or sync an item that is in your library, the element can point to a file that has been moved, renamed or deleted'

  Original title: laptop won't read the music files stored on external hard drive

  I have an old Compaq laptop Windows XP, so it was out of memory I transferred everything on a Portable Seagate (500 GB) hard drive and started to access it. It's worked well for over a year, but lately, began to stop playing my music files. Absolutely everything on the hard drive opens, however, images, files and folders, but when I go into Windows Media Player, it pops up with this error message:

  Windows Media Player cannot find the file. If you try to read, burn or sync an item that is in your library, the element can point to a file that has been moved, renamed, or deleted.
  I have not modified parameters or anything that moved. I used to be just able to restart the laptop, or disconnect and reconnect the hard drive and it works again, but now it or not will be not at all, or it will cut off half way through a song and then not to play anything more.
  I can't find any support for this problem because the phone reads that the hard drive is there, and everything else works. Only the music doesn't. I tried to play music on a connected USB and it works fine. I'm so confused!
