• Windows media player cannot connect to the internet

  He will not play some native titles to a hard drive, as it wants to update the licenses, but he proposes to update by downloading the components but then said it was impossible to connect to the internet.   My computer is internet and everything works fine, except that Silverlight will not play my Netflix if I connect my Bluetooth headset until I open it.  What can I do? I can't find the windows media player settings.  I want HP with windows 8. Core i7.

  Hi Daniel,.

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  • The problem is specific to some of the tracks, or all?

  If you're having trouble playing a song or video, it may be because the file is protected by the management of digital rights (DRM). DRM is a technology that content providers sometimes use to ensure that the digital music and you get them video files are used and distributed according to their usage rights.

  Consider possible situations:

  a. When you try to play a file that is protected in the player, the Player checks if you have rights to use valid media on your PC. If you do, the player plays the file.

  If the player does not find valid media on your PC usage rights, or if rights to limit what you can do with the file, the player can not read the file. In this case, you will see an error message tells you why the file could not be read.

  b. it is protected by rights?

  (i) slide in the right edge of the screen and then click Search (if you use a mouse, point to the corner bottom right of the screen, move the mouse to the top and then click Find.).

  (ii) sign up Windows Media Player in the search box, and then tap or click Windows Media Player.

  (iii) pass on any or right click on a media file, press or click Properties and then press or click the rights of use. If the file is protected by rights, the license terms appear in the media used rights box, and you will see what usage rights you have. If nothing appears in the media used rights box, it might be because the file is not protected, the usage rights are not on your PC or that you are playing a file that is being listened to on your PC (for example, you play content subscription directly from an online store website).

  If the problem persists, I suggest you run the troubleshooter in Windows Media Player and check.

  a. press the Windows key + X , and then select Panel.
  (b) in the search box, type Troubleshooting , and then click on troubleshooting.
  c. click on show all and then click on settings of the Player Windows Media.

  Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

• Error "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file' when try to play wav or midi files.

  Original title: WMP "can't play wav or midi.

  Using WMP 11 on Windows XP SP3.

  Windows Media Player has somehow forgotten how to play wav or midi files. Doubleclicking either of these file types give an error "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file. " There is a button 'Close' and 'Web Help' which still informs me, "you met the C00D1199 error message... ". ». Following the advice given nothing less than useful.

  I can easily play these files with RealPlayer or VLC so I don't think it's a driver problem, and it wasn't a corruption right after installing the other players. WMP seems to work OK when playing music or AVI. And there is no harm to hear a sound (wav or midi) in Windows for various system events. Have already uninstalled/reinstalled WMP without result.

  Thanks for your reply.

  I have since determeined the problem comes from an updated codec package I installed a few weeks ago. These codecs were from Shark007 which I believe is a Microsoft MVP. Use the codecs from this site for a number of years without any problems so I did not initially suspect it was the source of the problem. I uninstalled the codec pack and installed K-light package and everything seems to be Ok now. Now, I'll be in contact with the members of this forum.

  Hello

  ·         What is the format of the files that you play when you get this error?

  ·         Do you get what this error during playback of all files or a particular file?

  You may encounter this error message for the following reasons:

  1. the file type is supported by the drive, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the player.

  2 - the file might have been encoded with a codec that is not supported by Windows Media Player. If this is the case, Windows Media Player cannot play the file.

  You can try the steps and check if it makes a difference.

  a. to determine what codec was used with a specific file, play the file in the player, if possible. When the file is playing, right-click the file in the library, and then click Properties. On the file tab, look at the sections of video codec and Audio codec.

  b. download and install Codecs by clicking on the PLAYER tab and check. To connect to the Internet and automatically download the Codecs of the reader.

• Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD. The disk has been created in a way that the player does not support

  Original title: error reading from a photo cd

  Error message "Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD. The disk has been created in a way that the player does not support"when the disc is inserted into the PC HP Touchsmart yet he plays on the laptop.  Help please

  Hello

  (1) what is the file format of the photos on the CD?

  (2) you are able to play another CD/DVD on this computer?

  (3) have you made recent changes to the computer before the show?

  (4) is it a Blu - ray disc?

   

  Install the codec for Blu - Ray. Your Blu - ray player should have come with a medium containing the codec. You can also use your favorite search engine and free research Blu - ray codec.
  The Blu - ray disc format is not supported in Windows Media Player. To play a Blu - ray disc, you must use a non-Microsoft program that supports Blu - ray playback and a device that can play Blu - ray discs.

  If you have a program that supports Blu - ray, then I suggest you to use the Troubleshoot utility and check for the issue.

  You can try the following methods and check if it helps.

  Method 1: Play a CD or DVD in Windows Media Player
