• 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.

  Best regards

• 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?

• Windows Media Center displays/does not play videos in folders of same accurate as they have always been saved

  Videos that previously played by Windows Media Center (which came installed on my laptop) suddenly stopped appearing in Windows Media Center records, although some videos (very few) are always show and play exact same files on my hard drive as videos which stopped working.

  I don't know that I did something to cause this, although maybe I did, inadvertently, or certain updates or new facilities caused program.

  Please help, I use Windows Media Center as my main videos media player. Windows Media Center is not connected to a TV, just use it as a media player on my laptop.

  He also noted - I recently moved several files from my hard drive to an external drive, if it will be of any significance.

  Thank you.

  you go into media center tasks and add new locations to
  storage/libraries? some external drives can be a problem, too.
   
  best bet is a system restore. You can CANCEL a system restore if it does not work.

• Netflix in Media Center returns a 'there was a problem of data recovery. "Check the works of your internet connection and try again" error instead of loading Netflix data.

  context: a previous thread with an identical title never responded, the problem just disappeared.  Well its been two weeks since then and the problem came back.

  somethings which may or may not apply: internet TV seems to work better in media center.  All updates have been applied to H.P. of Vista SP2. Netflix works fine in ie8 (such as the internet, of course). Tried to delete all the Internet Options, delete browsing history section of Internet Explorer. I get the same error message with my windows 7 professional media center, but netflix seems to play anyway (no game with vista). I recently installed quicktime alternative 2.72 to see what it was and how it worked, then removed and put back in quicktime.

  Tried / symptoms:

  -Remove all the browsing history (econcepts)
  -Same message on Win7pro but works even when (econcepts)
  -Works on Win7 no problem (omegafiler)
  -Works in ie 8 (econcepts)
  -Works in crome (Martin TX)
  -Consensus is that it started around December 30, 2009 (GeoffG1, johnetX, me)
  -Remove and reinstall silverlight (omegafiler)
  -Remove and replace netflix plugin (omegafiler)<- how="" did="" you="" do="" that="">
  -Netflix says: microsoft problem (Nitestalker)
  -Microsoft is silent (this thread - on vacation?)
  -Same problem on 32-bit and 64-bit VMC (JRSMiamiFL)
  -No applied update (johnetx)<- perhaps="" date="" related="" or="" drm="" date="">
  -Disconnect from netflix, you reconnect again - ultimately the same error (chicagokiwi)
  -Tried to reduce the number of items in the queues to well below the limit of 200 (econcepts)
  -Tried the register / unregister the third wire procedure, no joy (does not break anything else however)
  -Disabled the firewall, no change (econcepts)

  Someone else knows Netflix not being is not able to connect?  It started yesterday (30/12/2009) for me.  I looked fine the day before without problem.  The message I get says "there was a problem of data recovery.  Check the works of your internet connection and try again. Ok.  I make it work with both my VMC - one with the service pack and the other without.  My OS updates have been loaded in early December, so I don't see how this could it be.  I searched and found this problem has come up before, but I have not found a solution.  I made NO changes to my HTPC.

  Those who have and solved this problem.

  UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE *.

  2009-01-05 has attempted to start Netflix this morning and you know, it works on both my VMCs.  That's the good news.  So now the real questions are:

  Only 20 people reported it as a problem and only 6 on the green button.  I believe that it affected all the world with Media Center.  So why not discussed much?

  It already happened, causes a stir and silently slips without known cause or cure.  How can we find out what caused this and how to prevent it from happening again in the future?

  Hello Clement,

  Thanks much for the reply.

  I really don't understand well enough codecs!  -are you making allusion to the East no doubt not that the encoding of the input signal software cannot do its job properly?  Are the part of the tuner driver codecs? I could not see them on the website of the tuner (http://www.newmagic.com.au/Support/Hauppauge_Vista_Drivers.html)
  Can you please point me in the right direction for the codec pack (btw, I though 'codec packs' were notoriously bad news! and since I recently made a new facility would be not all right codecs be there that they must have been before when everything worked well?)

  I use Vista x 64.

  I have about 9 at the moment and would be like preferby for free. I do not have satellite or cable tv so want those online, is there any where I can get a sky without a satellite dish as prison breaks soon.

  Enjoy your weekend.

  I don t think you will be able to find a free channel Sky One in the internet.
  But I'm not an expert m and this is only my personal opinion.
  If you don t have a satellite or cable TV, you could buy a DVB - T TV tuner, and maybe then you will be able to receive more channels TV using MCE ;)

• No sound with hp pavilion media center m8020n

  Almost 2 years, I got the video card replaced in my HP Pavilion Media Center m8020n.  Shortly after, the noise disappeared.  I have Windows Vista and an HP w1907 19 '' LCD monitor.  I have tried everything I can think to restore the sound and would like to know if the problem is the PC, speakers in the monitor, of which.  Thank you.

  Hello:

  Your replacement video card has an HDMI output port?

  If so, probably disabled video card audio system integrated.

  To activate the onboard video, enter the BIOS, find the onboard audio setting.

  It will be set to auto or off.  Change the setting to "Enabled".  Save the configuration when you have made the change and again when you exit the BIOS (save settings and exit).

  When you restart and return to windows, you should have the on-board audio back.

  If your new card video has no hdmi port, or your audio settings on the BIOS is already active, then unfortunately, I don't know what could be the issue.

• HP DVD Play - Vista Media Center: blue border

  Hi, I have a HP Slimline s3330f media center (VMC) vista, running HP DVD Play (v2.42 build 5820).  He plays the Blu - ray.  I connected it to the TV via HDMI and I have audio digital (S/PDIF) goes directly from s3330f to my digital receiver.

  Discs Blu - ray play well as VMC when I select the item 'HP DVD Play' to the Ribbon of VMC.  The problem is that there is a blue border around the movie.  It's as if the movie does not play in full screen (it has a blue border of 2 ").  Now, I know that this blue border is the VMC screen in the background.  Also, as a test, I stopped VMC and launched HP DVD Play directly to play a blu - ray movie - it works perfectly.

  No idea how to get rid of the blue border (in other words, do read HP use DVD full screen when VMC is running)?

  Notes:

  Installation VMC - to use a big TV flat screen

  -VMC is configured as 1080i

  -nvidia drivers are installed at 1920 x 1080 resolution

  nvidia drivers - are configured to use HDTV 1080i (and I also tried 1080 p, 1080 p/24, same result).

  OK, I seem to have solved the problem.  However, I made a few changes and I don't know exactly what the change really solved the problem.  Here's what I did:

  -upgrade to the latest Nvidia drivers

  -deleted the Realtek audio drivers and reverted back to the default value of Microsoft HD Audio drivers (this, BTW, although DD 5.1 to work via S/PDIF)

  -implementation of the registry changes (see here: http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/thread/278165.aspx )

  -re-installed HP DVD Play (latest version)

  I suspect it's the registry changes that solved the problem.

• Windows Homer Server Media Center not showing the new files I downloaded

  So I installed WHS2011 and thought that the library would easily work. It seems that the new files I put on the server are not get updated when I try and view them through the Media Center. Also when I serach for libraries on another device, it shows me two homeservers, one who say no files present and the other who has files (but does not update the index!). What is going on? (the file types are the same as the other files that are appearing fine)

  It is a basic installation, the only change I made is to move the directory to a new hard drive and update the WHS settings to point to the serverfolder updated on the new hard drive.

  I checked the settings on the media section of sharing control panel and it's on, I also checked on the dashboard and the media of Stentor is enabled.

  Why are my new files not updated in the index?

  Why two media servers on my other devices?
