Windows Media Player very slow on network

• Windows Media Player 12 - slow to update the library

  I have a big disco 50K more songs.  I recently moved the music to a harsh new Bank and changed the directory structure.  I deleted the music library WMP (by removing everything C:\Users\###\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media Player), open from WMP12 and so went to file/manage libraries added in each of the directories music where the music is stored.  As expected, WMP began to read music and I can see the songs populating the library as they come.

  The problem is that this is happening very slowly.  As about 2 seconds per song.  At this rate, it will be almost 4 days of continuous operation to completely rebuild the library.  I got it done in the past (but maybe not with WMP12?), but never experienced this kind of snails pace update.  Any ideas on what could be causing it to ad to the library files so slowly or what I can do to speed things up to?

  Thank you

• my windows media player is VERY slow to start, sometimes stops working, will not play some videos

  When I run the program it opens but will not play a song sometimes longer than 15 minutes. Stops working and the screen will sometimes foggy transparent white - I can still see the player, but he has a white on fog. Today, that happen when you try to copy a cd. -just a regular old cdr.

  Show first frame of video and play a sound but video does not move. Windows vista-home premium-toshiba.

  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.

• Why Windows Media Player is a little slower at the opening of the media?

  Hi all

  Today, Windows Media Player has been a bit slower... Why? I do not know.. I scanned for malware, spyware and viruses and there is nothing... I discovered that this isn't my PC, or my windows... It seems that it is in all Versions of it... I tried other players, they were all very good... Now what am I supposed to do?

  Description of the LAG: it takes longer to open/load a simple media... Either when I opened my playlist, get to the next/previous track, and at the opening of any media what to choose in the list...

  Any help is appreciated...

  Best wishes

• 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.

• 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 share Sony Micro Hi Fi to a wireless network on Windows media player on my computer

  Original title: Media Player

  I am new on this forum and not particularly computer.

  I spent most of today trying to get my new Sony Micro Hi Fi to a wireless network with my computer to listen to music from my hard drive.
  I use Windows XP home and Windows Media Player 11.
  I managed to make a connection between my computer and the Hi Fi, but the Hi FI maintains e-mail "No Server"
  In Media Player, if I'm going to Library / Media Sharing icon CMT MX700... is displayed in the window but the 'Allow' button is not active, so I can't leave.
  If I click on the 'Settings' button and go to this page, I have the box "allow computers and new devices automatically" checked.
  I checked the router multicast TP Link setting is disabled. I tried disabling my Macafee firewall and also open the ports recommended for media sharing.
  I was also in the it management services and value Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service, HTTP SSL and automatic Plug-and-Play Auto Start Up.
  Can anyone offer advice?
  Thanks in advance
  Don

  Thanks for your advice.

  I followed it and any other links I could think of, but never had the Windows Media Player to the network.
  However I bypassed the problem with advice from the Sony Support by installing Serviio software that worked immediately.

• Windows media player will not play videos that I created a few years back. they use to play very well; now, I received the acquired codec error message. I use wmp 11

  My old videos in my windows media player will not play. acquire CODECS rises. I get audio but not video for all the movies at home. Movies that I downloaded and clips play very well. How can I fix it. I use wmp 11.

  Hello satindoll11233,

  1. What is the exact error message you get when you try to play videos?

  2. What is the format of the videos that you try to play?

  3. are you able to play other files with Windows Media Player?

  Media Player will not be able to play video files, if there are no required codecs or video format is not supported by Media Player.

  I suggest you to check the format of the video you are trying to play. You can also try the steps in the article to resolve this problem:

• Windows media player; I have a mpeg file played ok before the download Flash Player to move to another place; but now the audio wont play even if the video is very good

  I have a mpeg file played ok before the download Flash Player to move to another place; but now the audio wont play even if the video plays very well.  The mpeg file may was converted from another format mpeg before do me.

  Hello

  1. are you able to play the other mpegs successfully?
  2. what version of Windows Media Player do you use?

  I suspect that the file is corrupted.

  Method 1.
  Check if you can play the same video in a different media player.

  Method 2.
  You may need to check if the codecs work very well to play the file. Check if you have installed third party codecs. Uninstall them and re - install and then check.

  I hope this helps.

• The tab network on Windows media player does not open

  I can't open the network on Windows media player 11 despite uninstall and reinstall twice. I even brought back to WMP 10 and even on the network tab would not open. any ideas, anyone please?

  Hi Mooby00,

  1. what happens when you try to access the network tab?

  2. you receive an error message?

  3 when was the last time it was working fine?

  I suggest that restore you to the basic version of Windows media player in Windows XP, which is version 9 and check if the problem persists.

  I hope this helps!
