Xbox 360 Media streaming from Vista Media Center, required codec on XBOX but not other extensors?
I am trying to use my Media Center on my Xbox - but I am unable to get the videos to play, other than the native codecs from Microsoft.
Now, if I connect to Media Center on the Xbox and go through the video dashboard they play all since I have sharing enabled on WMP11. But it is not useful.
Media Center may be forced to work with the Xbox 360?

Media Player play the MP3 files but not others
My OS is XP and I'm using Media Player 11.
In my WM library, I downloaded several music files. Most are MP3 files. Some will play, but others do not. When I look at those who don't in properties, I see the length of play is 0:00. As far as I know, I have all codecs updated but cannot be sure 100% bee.
Can someone please tell me in words of one syllable preference (I'm technophile worse of the world) if they know of a cure.
Steve
Looks like the files are corrupted. Do you know how they were created originally?
You will probably need to re - download or re - extract the files. If this isn't an option, you can search the Web for MP3 repair tool, but there is no guarantee that the repair will work. Tim Baets

Xbox 360 Media Center won't play Albums
I use my 360 as an Extender for 4 years. About 2 months back my hard drive of the PC began to fail. So I bought a new PC and recovered all my music on the new PC (old and new were running Win7 64 bit). I plugged the 360 as an Extender again. Everything (Live TV, Recorded TV, pictures, etc.) works perfectly. When I try to play music by clicking on 'Play the Album' I get an error box. "Audio error" "year Error Occurred while trying to play your selection. If I go in the album and click on any song and click on 'Play song' it works without error.
I tried to delete an album from the hard drive and ripping again and this album plays very well when I click on "Play Album". So, the question is not network settings or firewall or proxy, etc.. I have re - rip each album, but spoke more than 300 and I'd rather not spend this time. I guess that when I copied the files on the old PC Win7 something again has been or has been marked properly. So I reset the security and ownership on the files and there was no change. Individual files will be read, but the albums are not.
I should also mention that "Play Album" works fine on the Media Center PC.
So, the big question is, when you click on "Play Album" 360 Media Center Extender, which looks at the system and what it takes to be able to play the album successfully?

Media Center is planning a record but didn't and defer to a later date.
Windows XP Media Center 2005 has been in place. 1st symptom was that it would block when calling my TV (usually just sitting on my TV). Sometimes, he reached the following menu, but will not charge recorded TV or records on demand (just sitting with 'circle' symbol circling). Discovered that sometimes if I end task through the Task Manager and restart and then not choose my TV but using the shortcut for Live TV I can sometimes get Live TV, sometimes it crashes with 'circle' symbol encircling. Pointed out that memory almost full (indication AnVir Task Manager).
After reboot, all usually (not always) is clear and that is running. with Media Center. After reboot, I sometimes have a monitor that is not turn off as it is supposed to (hard drives are supposed to be off, but I haven't checked that)-requires a reset forever and at 10 min., working for the monitor, but still does not go on standby after 15 minutes.
All the foregoing is symptomatic with Media Center (usually) works after the restart. Media Center records sometimes and sometimes does not. When it does not usually record it defers to a later date, if available, otherwise no recording until then is a guide and it as if by magic reappears, postponed.
The second tuner (usually used for recording) records while TV Live is on but if scheduled recording is not as long as Media Center is running she sometimes record and this is sometimes not.

It seems a problem with missing or damaged system files. I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.
Method 1:
Let flow the Microsoft Safety Scanner and check if it helps.
Microsoft security scanner: http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. During these 10 days, it will remove all the files infected by the virus and records. I suggest you create a backup of your data, and then install Microsoft Safety Scanner.Method 2:
Run the scan tool (SFC) System File Checker and check if it helps.

Hi mcfat,.
Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!
(1) you get an error during the download?
For now I suggest you to download the latest announcements of guide manually and see if it gives any error or that the download is finished successfully.
Follow the steps below to download the lists guide manually.
You can configure Windows Media Center Guide lists auto update, but you can also download the latest Guide information manually.
Method 1:
1. on the start screen, go to tasks, click settings, click TV, click Guide, and then get latest Guide listings.
2. When prompted, select Yes to begin to download the Guide listings. You are notified when the update of the Guide is complete. You can continue to use Windows Media Center and the Guide while new Guide information is being downloaded.
Access the link below for more information on the above steps.
If you have any question by downloading manually too, then try Method 2 and see if that can deal with the issue.
Method 2:
(1) close Media Center
2) click on the start menu, choose run and type cmd
(3) run the command regsvr32.exe atl.dll
(4) run the command C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehSched /unregServer
(5) run the command/service C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehSched
(6) runs the C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehRecvr /unregServer command
(7) run the command/service C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehRecvr
(8) runs the C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehRec.exe /unregServer command
(9) executes the command C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehRec.exe/regserver
(10) runs the C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehmsas.exe /unregServer command
(11) runs the command C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehmsas.exe/regserver

Xbox 360 Media Center extender 545 error code
Hello everyone I thought I'd ask my question here as nowhere else.
The problem is, my xbox 360 has benn works fine it's just the media library.Whenever I try to add as an Extender happens to the part where it sets up my xbox and it says error and it can not set up my computer. So far, I have tried the part where you remove certificates and restarted some Services, but none of them worked.Under Event Viewer, he saidMedia Center Extender Setup cannot create an account for the extender with the ID: uuid:10000000-0000-0000-0200-0022483530EF.
Error: The system cannot find the specified file.If anyone can help me with this, it would be appreciated muchly, Spudals (Jake)PS. IM passing by a N1 Vision Wireless router, it worked before, so I don't think it's important.PPS. I tried on another laptop and it worked fine, this laptop also had windows 7.Hi Spudals,
Welcome to the Microsoft answers site.
I suggest that you allow the default Administrator and try to set up the media center extender, follow these steps:
To activate the default Administrator account, follow these steps:
1. Click Start and type CMD in the start search box
2. right click on CMD in the list and click "Run as Administrator"
3. type the following command: net user administrator / Active: Yes
If the problem persists, you can try to create a new user account and the extension of configuration and check, if it works fine, then it could be a problem with the user profile, follow the steps in the link:

I have a Windows 7 Media Center box, and an Xbox 360 that I use as an Extender. The two connections to the same wired router. Everything worked fine until I went on my old router (failed) and put in a WNDR4300. After the new router has been installed, I didn't have the Extender work then, deleted from the media Center and re - he added. It worked but after I shut off/started the xbox, no link. It is repetitive: I can make a new connection, but then it didn't reconnect after reboot of the xbox.
Check/change:
-J' changed to a static IP xbox
-There is no part 3 a / v or a firewall on the support center
-L' on the media center network adapter is 'home '.
-The network card on the media center * fact * show the xbox 360
-The event log after the xbox is restarted shows:
event ID 538: installation of media center extender does not like the Extender has been detected on the network, but for the Extender upnp search failed (timed out after 20000ms)
-How long before it, I have found that the service IS running upnp device host (and set to auto)
-J' checked 4300 router wndr and UPnP is enabled (advertising set to 30 minutes)
question, any ideas what configuration will solve this problem?

UPnP search fails when adding Xbox 360 Media Center Extender
First of all, I spent a week looking for a solution to this so if I missed something obvious, I apologize.
My xbox has been connected as a media center extender to this combination of the computer and the router for several months now. The router is a WII-HP-G300NH Buffalo. Earlier this week the media center extender was having video playback problems. After restarting the computer, the Extender was is no longer connected.
When I try to add a new extension unit I get the message "unable to add extender. Microsoft says to activate upnp and multicast. Check. Reflashed firmware dd - wrt. No luck. Back to buffalo firmware. No luck. Try an old Linksys WRT54GL I hang out. No luck.
The event recorder has this error: "Media Center Extender Setup has failed as the Extender has been detected on the network unsuccessfully searching for UPnP for the Extender (timed out after 20000ms)." Event ID: 538
Now, I did everything I could find on the activation of network discovery, anything allowing to access media and these. Network and sharing Center is located about large open. I also tried switching between home and work networks.
That said, I decided to check and see what updates have been installed. It turns out that an update has been applied on the day, that I started to have problems. It is said that it can not be uninstalled. Description Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 installation software item updated
Note: I have no system restore points. Small SSD and has not taken the time to understand how to save elsewhere.
That's all the information I have. I convinced myself that it is not the router via the steps described above and that it is something to do with the computer. Help?
FIXED.
Reinstalled NIC drivers.

Windows Media Center won't play video, but Windows Media Player will be?
I'm reading a video .avi with the xvid codec. I installed the codec earlier and it plays fine in Windows Media Player, but when I try to play in Windows Media Center, it indicates that one or more codecs are required to play this file, but they cannot be found. I know I would just watch with Windows Media Player instead of Media Center, but I want to watch it on my Media Center extension (my Xbox). I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate, 64-bit. Why does Windows Media Player with this codec and Windows Media Center not work? How can I solve this problem?
-Slick05_1
Hi Slick05_1,
Thanks for the replies on the forum.
Given that the Microsoft Vista Media Center and XBOX do not play the files suggest it would need to be a codec which solves the problem or maybe file conversion which would solve the problems you are experiencing. Since the codecs for files is not something written by Microsoft, we do not have the information for that in our system.
What I suggest is to go to your search engine preferred and in the search line and typing "is possible to play VLC on XBOX.
WARNING:
Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.
What I suggest also done an online search using your favorite search engine for "play MKV files in Vista x 64 Media Center" to find whether there may be suggestions about codecs or these codecs created by other organizations then Microsoft.
Please let us know if you are able to get this to work for you.
