    - WMP 10 no longer plays streams I can no longer connect to a live stream of radio or video like cspan radio or cspan tv. This is true whether I am playing it in a web page or directly thru the player. There is nothing wrong with my network as I can play the same streams in some of my other players but not all. Apparently those players that use parts of WMP to play streams can no longer play them and those that don't can play the streams. This is the error message I get in WMP: Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the specified protocol is not supported. If you typed a URL in the Open URL dialog box, try using a different transport protocol (for example, "http:" or "rtsp:"). I have tried a system restore to a point before the problem started to no avail. Tag: Parental Ratings in Windows Media Player 11 Tag: 262990

    - Unable to Rollback to WMP 10 I need to do a firmware upgrade on my Creative Zen MP3 player but cannot do so until I downgrade to WMP 10. Unfortunately XP SP2 will not rollback the player for me. I have followed the instructions on the Microsoft website but when I go into Add/Remove Programs and try to rollback, the operation tells me that it succeeded. I restart and WMP11 is still installed so of course I can't remove the other programs to required to do the Firmware upgrade. Any ideas how to get around this problem?

    - Ripping a CD to an MP3 file to a hard drive When I use Windows Media 11 player to rip a selected CD track to an MP3 file, it seems to want only to do this to a CD drive. I assume there has to be a path to send the MP3 file to a defined hard drive path - is there not? While I am a very experienced computer user, I am new to this area of activity. I also find WMP 11 a little kludgy to work with ripping selections, creating playlists, et al. But that may well be because I'm just not that well versed in doing these things. Are there any good free "tutorials" around that I could download for such activities. I was referred to iTunes. But I don't want to use any of Apple's software. Apple Quicktime for movies was a real PITA, and I got rid of it years ago. Ron Hirsch Tag: Parental Ratings in Windows Media Player 11 Tag: 262984

    - Windows Media Sharing Service will not start I cannot get the windows media sharing service to start. When I manually start it I get the following error message: Could not start the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service service on Local Computer. Error 1008: An attempt was made to reference a token that does not exist. I am on Windows XP, and am attempting to share with our XBox on the same network. I cannot see the xbox listed as an option to share with (in media player), I believe it is because the sharing service is not started. Any help is appreciated!

    - Playing _from_ mp3 player? Hello, I have a Sansa Clip which I have loaded with .wma files from my home computer by sync'ing with WMP 11 at home. I have a USB cable at work with which I can connect the player to my work computer. Is there a way to get WMP 11 to play these files directly from the player on my computer at work without copying them to my hard disk using Explorer? This seems like it should be a simple thing to do, yet it does not appear immediately obvious how to do so. All help greatly appreciated...thanks.

    - How to prevent WMP11 from saving UNC path instead of drive letter? Hello! I have noticed that whenever I add files to the WMP11 library from a mounted network drive (e.g. E:\Media pointing to my server/ share), WMP11 will resolve the UNC name and store \\myserver\share \Media instead of e:\Media. Q: Is there any way to prevent this behaviour? Background: As a mobile user I regularly change environments where different servers will provide me with the same set of media files. The servers are in sync, so they do have the same files. Yet, WMP11 will try to locate any given file on Server1 which might not be available in Environment B and vice vesa. This is cumbersome. Please advise. Thank you & BR Markus. Tag: Parental Ratings in Windows Media Player 11 Tag: 262959

    - WMP11 problems with MP3 ID3 tag data I use a 3rd party program (MP3tag) to update the ID3 information on my MP3 files because it can do several at once. I have about 300 files that I recently ripped from CD that were missing the ID3 tag information (technically, most of them had ID3 tags, but it was ID3v2.4 which WMP does not appear to support). I re-tagged all of the files with both ID3v2.3 (which WMP reads fine from my other MP3s) and ID3v1 tag information. Winamp and every other media program I have tried recognizes the ID3 tag information, but WMP still shows them as unknown artist and doesn't read any tag information. I am certain the information is there, but I think WMP must store metadata somewhere and refuses to refresh it. I have tried removing the files from the library and then re-adding them... that didn't work. I wouldn't really care about WMP not recognizing the information since I don't use it much, but this tag information is fed to my Xbox360 for media streaming and it becomes a real pain-in-the-ass to search through artists to unknown and scroll through these 300+ songs and manually adding each song to the playlist when I want to listen to a particular artist affected by this issue.

    - Slow play, choppy music I have the Vista Home Premium o/s. It takes 30 seconds to play the song once it is clicked-on. Also sometimes the audio is choppy. I never had these problems with my old Xp o/s even on an older less powerful box. Tag: Parental Ratings in Windows Media Player 11 Tag: 262952

    - Overhauling auto sync playlists I am trying to overhaul my auto sync playlists. I started with these playsts: - 4 or 5 stars (the defaut one) - All Music The above just managed to fit all my songs on my device (a 8GB microSDHC card) ... it was 99% full. I have now set up my own auto playlists because I want to be a bit more selective about the music on my device. I removed the above two playlists completely and then added the auto playlists I created all in one step: - 5 star - 4 star - 3 star - 2 star - Unrated The goal here was to delete all the music I had rated as '1 star'. I figured what would happen is that WMP11 would scan the music already on my device that it was aware of (seeing as I used WMP11 sync to put it there in the first place), notice that all of the music specified in these new playlists already existed on the device, and then notice that some songs (namely the 1 star ones) were no longer required on the device and remove them. To my dismay instead it made a sync list in the "sync results" pane that listed all the new playlist songs as if they had never been synced to the device in the first place. Naturally the synch for all these songs failed because there was essentially no room left on the card. It said "did not fit on device" for every single one of them instead of "already on device", which is what I was expecting. On top of that, it did not delete the 1 star songs from the device like I was expecting. Does anyone know why this is and how I can fix it? I am expecting to much from WMP. This seemed like a fairly basic thing to me and I expected it to be as smooth as butter. By the way I am using Vista 32 Premium. Has anyone gotten a similar setup with a large auto-sync playlist change like this to work properly? Tag: Parental Ratings in Windows Media Player 11 Tag: 262951

    - Stop WMP 11 from attempt to sync memory cards Is there a way to get it to stop automatically scanning every memory card I stick in my USB reader? This is INCREDIBLY annoying - I use WMP to watch my baby via an IP cam - having it up and running seems to make it think it's ok to scan everything. Please - provide a way to disable this. Besides the annoyance, it also kicks the player out of skin mode which is even MORE annoying as WELL as shutting down the video I am watching. In general, this entire feature seems to have issues.

    - external hard drive sync Hi, Is there any way to tell WMP11 to sync to an external harddrive? I store all of my cds using wma lossless and I'd like to sync to my portable hard drive at a lower bitrate. I know wmp can do this with a usb flash drive, but I'd like to do this with my entire library, and I don't have any flash drive quite that large ;^).

    - No audio in DVD playback on PC - what am I doing wrong? Hey folks: I am for the first time in my life trying to play a video DVD on my desktop PC (believe it or not). I have a commercially recorded documentary (title "King Corn") lent from a friend, and can't get it to play properly. The problem is no sound. The video looks fine, but there's no audio output whatsoever. I've tried using Windows Mediaplayer as well as a program called Media Player Classic. Both behave pretty much the same way -- the video plays silently. When the film first opens, it shows me a "menu" in the form of two selections, the first of which is the film, the second is a blank box labeled "Empty Title". I select the first box (which has the thumbnail- size, shrunk-down opening shot of the movie). Then the screen is filled with the opening scene in the playback window frame, and to the right is a list of "chapters" in the DVD info window frame, listed under the heading "Title 1". Also on the opening screen is a sort of on-screen, text menu that offers three choices: Play, Chapters and Audio Options. It seems that Audio Options would be the thing to select at this point, but I can't get it to respond. I tried clicking on it with the mouse pointer. Also tried moving the selection highlight with the arrow keys, and some other keys (spacebar, tab, page-up, page-down). Nothing seems to move the highlight off the "Play" option. So okay, I Iet it start playing, but get no sound, even with the volume boosted to the highest setting. I played around a bit with some of the Win Mediaplayer menu options that looked like they might be relevant to audio output, but to no avail. Is it possible that this disc is recorded in such a way to preclude it from playing back (with audio) on a computer? Everything else seems to work -- skipping forward, pausing and resuming play. I'm thinking that there's something very basic that I'm missing. But what? On the DVD itself, there are two directories, VIDEO_RM and VIDEO_TS. In the VIDEO_RM directory, there are three files: VIDEO_RM.BUP, VIDEO_RM.DAT and VIDEO_RM.IFO. In the VIDEO_TS directory there are ten files: VIDEO_TS.BUP VIDEO_TS.IFO VIDEO_TS.VOB VTS_01_0.BUP VTS_01_0.IFO VTS_01_1.VOB VTS_01_2.VOB VTS_01_3.VOB VTS_01_4.VOB VTS_01_5.VOB I'm running Windows XP on a Dell P4 machine with 512MB RAM thanks Alex G.

    - loading a few wav files to listen to in order...do I need a degree to do that? I have just been preparing a list of 12 audio files saved as WAV containing the spoken word - and thought I would used Windows media Player to play them through so I could hear how well one runs onto the next. The files are saved in a folder on my separate hard drive. The media player seems to think I have to complete a degree course on playlists and libraries and god knows what else before I can play anything. All I actually need is a button saying 'find your files here' where I could see the drive I want, access it, see the 12 files I want, select them, press OK and there they are on the screen waiting for me to press play. That seems logical to me. Or can kind person recommend some other player where loading files and playing them is simple? Thanks in advance.

    - Short audio files clip/skip in Vista Has anyone seen clipping of short audio files when played on Windows Vista? It sometimes sounds like the files are "skipping." I've read a number of posts about this, but none of the fixes seem to help. I've uploaded some sample files and I'm looking for people to tell me if they are having the same problem on their machines. The end of this file clips on WMP Vista: http://www.thetravelyear.com/work/vista_audio/test-short.wma This file has a little silence added to the end and plays fine: http://www.thetravelyear.com/work/vista_audio/test-long.wma I could just add silence to my files like I did above, but I need to maintain 20+ language training applications - each of which has thousands of short utterances. I don't want to be forced to do such an ugly hack just to support Vista. Several other people have suggested downloading new drivers and disable all audio enhancements, but that hasn't helped. And the problem isn't just on RealTek and SigmaTel audio drivers - I've seen it on my Creative X-Fi card as well with brand new drivers. I've validated this error on a number of machines and with Vista SP1. Can anyone help me out? This is very frustrating and I need a better solution.

    - Cannot Connect To Server Hello... Some good friends of mine are having trouble streaming songs from my website. I know the problem does not stem from my end...because everyone else I know has no trouble at all w/ my music files. They simply go to my site, click on a song link; & the song streams & plays perfectly. Anyway...when they attempt to do the same...the message my friends are getting on their PC reads: >>Windows Media Player cannot connect to the server. The server name may >>not be correct, the server may not be available, or your proxy settings >>might not be correct.<< Since I've ruled out the first two fixes, I followed the instructions in the WMP help files on fixing the proxy settings...but that doesn't work either.

    - UNABLE TO REFRESH MUSIC LIBRARY IN WMP11 I had to copy copy My Music folder from my PC1 to PC2. Before I did this, I saved My Music folder on PC2 and renamed it My Music-old, then I copied the contents of My Music from PC1 to My Music folder in PC2 via my network. I later deleted My Music-old. When I try to play the songs in WMP11, I am unable to refresh the music library and I only see a ghost list of duplicate music tracks listed from the old folder that was deleted. These old folders are no longer on my hard drive but WMP11 still shows them as ghosts files in the Music Library. I have tried to delete the Music Library using every possible method available in WMP11, and I even uninstalled the program in safe mode, then reinstalled it but the ghost music library still appears and if I try to click on a song to play it, I get a message that the track is missing (since WMP11 is pointing to music files that are deleted off the drive). I tried again to refresh the library but WMP11 won't do so and won't find "My Music" folder even though the location is the same default location as before on my local drive for PC2. Since I was not able to figure how to fix the problem, I deleted WMP11 and rolled back to WMP9 which works with no problems. I tried once more to upgrade to WMP11 but the same problem with it creating a ghost music library keeps happening. Is there any knowledge base article or hotfix or any solution for this problem? Thank you. Tag: Parental Ratings in Windows Media Player 11 Tag: 262891

    - WMP11 stopped playing DVDs I recently installed a WinTV HVR-1600 and a GA-P35-DS3L(r2) system board with onboard Realtek audio. Subsequently, I found that WMP11 stopped playing DVDs (C00D1163); previously, there was no problem. My Sonic Cineplayer (it came with my DVD drive) does still play DVDs, however. I uninstalled and reinstalled my audio drivers, video drivers, Cinplayer and its decoders, and WMP11 itself, but the problem persists. I tried setting various MPEG decoders as preferred using DECCHECK, but it made no difference. WMP reports the filters listed below (which are consistent with the MPEG filters reported by DECCHECK).

    - C00d11b1 error I have been getting this error on/off for about 2 months. After doing everything that everyone her suggested, I was still getting the errors on certain video, mp3's and wma files. Turns out I finally did a chkdsk (I used the command prompt check) and my secondary hard drive where I stored all the files had a whole mess of errors and the "chkdsk /r" found them and repaired them and every file that was giving me problems has been fixed. However, at least 2 of the songs now skip, but the player no longer crashes and everything has returned to normal. Probably not the fiax-all for all the problems, but you may want to check. A 30 minute chkdsk could save numerous headaches. Tag: Parental Ratings in Windows Media Player 11 Tag: 262882

    - Odd autoplay problem If I put a CD in my drive with no applications running, the cursor brings up the little CD icon, the light goes on, then nothing. If I then click on Autoplay, the dialoge box comes up. I select an option and check off to do it everytime. The action, for example play in WinAmp, occurs. I then take out the CD, close WinAmp, right back to square one, look at AutoPlay and nothing stuck. However, if the application, say WinAmp, is running then the disk plays. Autoplay is enabled for the drive, and in group policies. If I launch Media Player and configure it to rip the CD upon insertion, that works as well IF it is already open, but it won't launch it first. The end goal here is I want to put a CD in this system, have MP rip it and play it, then eject it, even if MP isn't running already. If the content is already in my library, just play it. This is a server (WinXP Pro) I use for media that is connected to my LCD TV and I don't want to have to power up the TV to play a CD. -Jim Tag: Parental Ratings in Windows Media Player 11 Tag: 262875

    - Aspect ratio resetting to 4:3, but only in WMP11 I record a good deal of video, always using a 16:9 aspect ratio. The camera I use formats the video with a .MOD extension. WMP11 refuses to play the video in anything other than 4:3. VLC, MPC & Zoom play the video correctly. (VLC and MPC are setup to force 16:9, while Zoom worked with no problems.). Manually changing the extension to .AVI or .MPG does not affect the playback, and converting the files to any other format, using the default setting of the source file, also does not fix the problem. I tried to following software used to covert the files: Any Video Covnerter and Nero 7. I have the latest DiVX codecs loaded as well as any that were installed with VLC, MPC and Zoom. Nvidia video card (7950x2) with latest drivers. An associate recommended that I install the CCCP codec pack...bad idea? What am I missing? Why do I have to force players to display 16:9? Why does WMP11 refuse to play these files in 4:3, and why are there no options within the software to change the desired aspect ratio? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    - Why Does WMP 11 Change My Music Library When I try to update my music library, the names of the files are changed. They appear the way I want them and I don't want WMP to change anything, just add missing info or album art. Also, can I get rid of certain information (tags, album art) that appears in the library that I don't want? Pat Tag: Parental Ratings in Windows Media Player 11 Tag: 262860

    - Low bitrate mp3 'skips' during playback I recently bought a new PC with Vista. On my old XP machine (also running WMP 11) I had no problem running 32 kbps bitrate mp3s (voice recordings predominantly). On my Vista machine I get a 'skipping' effect similar to listening to a very old record. I have no problem playing any other mp3 at 128+ kbps bitrate. I am running Vista Home Premium 32 bit on a Gateway FX7024 quad core (2.4) w/ 3 Gig Ram. I am using WMP 11 with current updates. Any thoughts would be apprecaited. Thanks for your help.

    - WMP 11 rips CD's on its own? Recently (like the past month or two), I've noticed that every time I so much as place a cd in my system, whether to play it, or rip it... WMP opens itself and starts ripping the cd all on its own. I've gone into the Program options and looked under every tab. Finally saw a check box that, if checked, would make WMP do exactly this. Well... personally I don't like WMP and prefer to use a different program. I cleared the box. Even after clearing the box, it STILL DOES IT! Anyone have a clue how/why it does this? I tried looking around online but had no luck. It's frustrating that I have to quickly shut WMP down before it gets very far into the ripping process each time a cd is inserted. THEN I have to go to the folder WMP is ripping to and delete the folder with the (usually) microscopic file in it. I shouldn't have to do any of this. Help? Thanx in advance Oh yeah... in case it helps (I don't see why it should though), system specs: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor TK-53 1.7 GHz 1 gig memory Windows Vista Home Premium 140 gig hard drive Tag: Parental Ratings in Windows Media Player 11 Tag: 262842

    - Inconsistent Artist display order I have just acquired a CD by the Swedish group Anglagard, except the first letter is an A-umlaut and the second "a" is an a-ring. In my "Songs" display, albums are listed alphabetically by artist, with Anglagard falling between Andreas Vollenweider and Anonymous 4. This seems right to me. However, in the "Artist" display, Anglagard is in a section all by itself. I don't know the relative merits of these two approaches; I'd need to get the opinion of someone Swedish, but they are certainly inconsistent. -- Steve Swift http://www.swiftys.org.uk/swifty.html http://www.ringers.org.uk Tag: Parental Ratings in Windows Media Player 11 Tag: 262838

    - Amazon Unbox / Vista SP1 / Windows Media Play 11 Just download a video from Amazon Unbox. When I try to play it in WMP, WMP canâ??t play it and then attempts to download WMP9 codecs and then fails. Anyone else seen this. Any remedies? Iâ??ve contacted Amazon and they suggested a hotfix, but the hotfix wonâ??t install. Besides this suggestion, Amazon is at a lost. PS the same video(s) work fine on the XPSP2 laptop running WMP11 Tag: Parental Ratings in Windows Media Player 11 Tag: 262837

    - Using media player for a hard disc full of DVDs - Windows XP? Hello, I'm sure this question has been asked before but I thought I'd find out for sure. I'm running Windows XP SP2 with all the patches - latest media player 11.05721 - as far as I know. I saw several recent articles about ripping DVDs to your hard drive. So I ripped two DVDs to my hard drive so far and renamed the folders to the names of the movies. I can manually select the VOB files in those folders and play them but I'd like to see the movie titles show up in my movie library in media player. I saw a nifty program/hardware solution called kaleidescape or something like that that does what I want but it seemed very expensive. I already have a couple of movies on my hard drive, I just want an easy playback from a library. Thanks Tag: Parental Ratings in Windows Media Player 11 Tag: 262823

I enabled Media Sharing and saw there are settings for Parental Ratings. Are
Parenal Ratings something I can set for each song/video in my library? If
so, how do I do it?
