    - Configure button grayed out In WMP11 under tools, options, Network tab, in the Steaming proxy settings, under my HTTP protocol, the configure button is grayed out. How can I fix that? Tag: Streaming Proxy Settings Tag: 262503

    - Playing whole CD's I occasionally want random selection to play whole CD's rather than individual tracks. WMP11 doesn't cater for this, but it occurred to me that if I could encode the albums as single tracks when ripping (as well as individual tracks) then I could fabricate a playlist that played the "Single Album" audio files. I don't think WMP can be persuaded to rip albums to a single audio file, and I couldn't find such as option in either Exact Audio Copy or CDEX. Has anyone achieved this? -- Steve Swift http://www.swiftys.org.uk/swifty.html http://www.ringers.org.uk Tag: Streaming Proxy Settings Tag: 262499

    - =?iso-8859-1?Q?=BFQU=C9_ES_LA_ILUSTRACI=D3N=3F?= 1 - Definición y lema de la ilustración. Definición: es la salida del hombre de la minoría de edad causada por él mismo Lema: Sapere aude atrévete a saber ten valentía para servirte de tu propio entendimiento - ¿De qué libera la ilustración? De la minoría de edad del - ¿Por qué somos culpables de nuestra minoría de edad? Porque la minoría de edad es causada por el hombre mismo, cuando la causa de esto no radica en una carencia del entendimiento, sino en una falta de decisión y arrojo para servirse del propio entendimiento sin la dirección del de algún -Si se dejara en libertad a los seres humanos, ¿Todo iría peor, según Kant? Si, porque al hombre le resultaría difícil salir de la minoría de edad que se ha convertido ya en una segunda naturaleza, y sería incapaz de servirse de su propio entendimiento. La minoría de edad se vuelve permanente y el que intentara rechazarla correría un peligro puesto que no está acostumbrado a caminar por sí -"Aquel público que anteriormente había sido sometido a este yugo por ellos ( por los tutores) obliga, más tarde, a los propios autores a someterse al mismo yugo" . Explica y pon un ejemplo: Que una sociedad se ilustre es bastante probable, pues incluso entre los tutores de la gran masa algunos pensadores autónomos que se habrán quitado el yugo de la minoría de edad y extenderán a su alrededor el valor de cada hombre para pensar por si -Según Kant, ¿ una revolución que cambiara el gobierno lo podría arreglar todo? No, porque el cambio de gobierno, cambiaría la forma de gobierno pero no conseguiría cambiar el modo de pensar, sino que los nuevos prejuicios servirían, como guía para la gran masa irreflexiva. 2 -¿Qué entiende Kant por uso público y uso privado de la razón? Explica y pon ejemplos. Kant dice que para la ilustración sólo se requiere la libertad para poder hacer uso público de la razón en todos los asuntos. El uso público de la razón debe ser siempre libre y éste sólo puede logrear realizar la ilustración entre los hombres. Kant entiende por uso público de la propia razón el que hace cualquiera como intelectual ante su público del universo de lectores y entiende por uso privado, el uso que está permitido hacer de su razón cuando se le confía cierta responsabilidad o un cargo civil. La razón en su uso público, en tanto que especialista en algo, o en tanto que ciudadano o ser humano, podemos y estamos obligados a criticar. Pero, en su uso privado, en tanto que partes de un engranaje social en el cual cumplimos una función debemos obedecer las normas. Por ejemplo, un oficial al que sus superiores le ordenan algo, quisiera, estando al servicio, exponer sus razones en voz alta acerca de la utilidad de esa orden, él tiene que obedecer. Sin embargo en justicia, no se le puede prohibir que en cuanto intelectual critique o haga comentarios sobre los errores del servicio militar y los exponga a consideración del - Una alumna padece la injusticia de un profesor; en respuesta, boicotea la clase ¿debe hacer esto, según Kant? No. Como alumna haciendo uso privado de su razón debe obedecer al profesor y las normas impuestas por el centro, y no puede boicotear la clase. Ahora bien, como ser humano y ante una injusticia boicotea la clase haciendo uso público de la -Un profesor francés de filosofía ha publicado un artículo contra la religión musulmana donde sostiene que el Corán es muy violento y lo vincula con el terrorismo. Según parece ha sido amenazado . Relaciónalo con el uso público/privado de Kant y da tu opinión. El profesor al publicar el artículo ha hecho uso público de la razón, como filósofo y como ser humano. En su calidad de funcionario de educación y ciudadano de un Estado laico debería haberlo escrito haciendo uso privado de la razón. Como funcionario está obligado a cumplir las normas. Mi opinión es que el profesor hizo bien en publicar el artículo y expresar libremente su opinión y criticar, y fue valiente al hacerlo y no temer a las consecuencias, amenazas y represalias. El profesor optó por su libertad para expresarse públicamente sin tener en cuenta que como persona podría correr peligro -Opina sobre la distinción Kantiana uso público/uso privado de la razón. Kant sostiene que el uso público de la razón debe ser siempre libre y el uso privado tiene que limitarse. En mi opinión criticar y obedecer son las dos caras de este uso de la razón. Tenemos libertad para expresar nuestras ideas sobre todos los asuntos y criticar haciendo uso de esa libertad pero el límite de mi crítica está en las leyes y normas de mi país, que me obligan como ciudadano a obedecer y cumplirlas, porque sino la sociedad no funcionaría. 3 - Sería posible, según Kant, establecer una norma, o una constitución política como definitiva?¿por qué?¿Cuál sería la piedra de toque?¿Podrías relacionar todo esto con algún aspecto más actual? No, es imposible, porque impediría cualquier ilustración posterior del género humano, se colocaría en una situación que le sería imposible ampliar sus conocimientos, deshacerse de errores y avanzar hacia la ilustración. La piedra de toque de todo lo que sobre un pueblo se puede determinar en cuanto ley, se encuentra en la cuestión acerca de si un pueblo se puede imponer o no a sí mismo una ley como -Yo quiero ser inculto, ¿tengo, moralmente, derecho según Kant?¿Por qué? No tenemos derecho a ser ignorantes, pues frenamos el desarrollo de la humanidad. -¿Qué entiende Kant por progresar? La naturaleza humana contiene una finalidad: la de desarrollar todas sus facultades( por ejemplo. La razón y la libertad). Esta tendencia a perfeccionarse (a ir a mejor) actúa como causa y finalidad de toda la historia humana, y es lo que le da sentido. El progreso sería el desarrollo de las capacidades humanas. 4 -" No vivimos en una época ilustrada, sino de ilustración". Explica y compara con nuestra época. En aquella época faltaba mucho para que los hombres, tal como estaban las cosas, se sirvieran de su propio entendimiento sin la dirección de algún otro por eso dice Kant que no vivían en una época ilustrada. Pero es de la ilustración o el siglo de Federico ( Federico el Grande, monarca ilustre, tolerante en materia religiosa y abierto al desarrollo ilimitado) porque liberó por primera vez al género humano de la minoría de edad y dejó en libertad a cada cual para servirse de su propia razón. La ilustración es sobre todo, una reivindicación de la libertad y de la emancipación respecto de cualquier sujeción o dependencia. La ilustración marca antes y un después en lo cultural y en lo político, a partir de ella países de Europa y EE.UU. hicieron sus revoluciones políticas y se crearon sistemas democráticos en los que los ciudadanos gozaron de todas las libertades. En otros países se Europa como España, la ilustración no tuvo tanta influencia y consecuencia de ello fue que siguiera sin libertades. Han tenido que pasar siglos para conseguir una sociedad con libertades (democrática) como lo que tenemos ahora, en lenguaje Kantiano una sociedad con ciudadanos con ciudadanos mayores de edad. Opiniones, críticas. El libro es un ensayo con titulo en forma de pregunta. Kant es un pensador ilustrado, su filosofía y este libro no puede ser comprendido si no es desde la perspectiva de los intereses e ideales de la ilustración, por tanto hay que ponerse en aquella época. Los ideales de la ilustración (individuos libres, el ser humano se hace a sí mismo, naturaleza perfectible, sociedad no estética sino en progreso, ciudadanos capaces de saber y decidir por sí mismos, antidogmática y sin verdades absolutas) los comparto todos, pero son ideales. Kant cree que ha llegado la hora en la que el hombre se haga cargo de su vida y decida por sí mismo. Por ello se pregunta ¿Qué es la ilustración? Dice que es la salida del hombre de la minoría de edad causada por él mismo. Empieza planteando el problema: la minoría de edad del hombre. A continuación las razones, propuesta para solucionarlo y qué se requiere para ello. Kant mantiene que para la ilustración no se requiere más que libertad y que una sociedad ilustrada hará posible ciudadanos más relacionados, más conscientes de sus obligaciones y, por tanto, mejores. Pienso que en parte tenía razón, la libertad es imprescindible para poder hacer uso de la razón en todos los asuntos. Ahora tenemos todas las libertades, de pensamiento, expresión etc. Pero estas libertades están condicionadas también por los prejuicios sociales que siguen existiendo, si soy valiente y me enfrento a esos prejuicios y seré libre verdaderamente sin limitaciones. Yo pienso así, pero todos no somos ni pensamos igual. Por esto creo que la educación, la cultura y el conocimiento de las cosas hará que tengamos criterio propio y la sociedad en su conjunto tendrá menos prejuicios. No estoy de acuerdo con Kant cuando dice que un cambio de gobierno no cambiaría la forma de pensar, pienso que sí, según qué gobierno podría ayudar a cambiar la forma de pensar. Las críticas que hago es que Kant olvida el contexto social de nuestros comportamientos. Nos pide excesiva pureza moral ante la impureza de la realidad social. Kant dice que no tenemos derecho a ser ignorante, pues frenamos el desarrollo de la humanidad, me parece que se excede en el concepto de humanidad y no da valor al ser humano como individuo al poner sus actos bajo la idea de humanidad.

    - Sharing to PS3... Hi, I have managed to set up sharing to my PS3, and most of the files that my Vista Business x64 PC has within the "My Music" or "My Videos" folders work... but I have several folders full of Audio on another computer running XP Pro.... I access these music files through my Vista machine that has a Network drive mapped to my XP machine, and also has the offline files set up so that I can still play the media and synchronise to the XP machine when it's switched off... So, basically, I need to know how to grant access to the PS3 to READ this offline folder. Can you simply SHARE a mapped offline network drive within Vista? Any other solutions? I hope i've explained my requirements fully. Tag: Streaming Proxy Settings Tag: 262490

    - WMP: no video & visualization under restricted accounts Hi, I have now 2 problems with Media Player 11 under Win XP Home SP2 which work fine a few months ago. 1) I canâ??t actualize album info anymore. It opens a blank window with fai.metaservices.microsoft.com written above and nothing happen. This is not a firewall issue, it the same after deactivating it. What kind of safe settings must be done in IE7 to allow WMP to actualize the album information through internet? 2) I saw a few weeks ago that WMP11 did not show any visualization anymore. But I did not have time to search how to fix it. I can not use a system restore point since the oldest one is after this problem. I tried last week end to reinstall and this fix the problem but only under the admin account. The 2 others restricted accounts can not play video (sound is fine) or see visualization (equalizer and so on also disappeared, unknown plugin is written). Video is working only in mini mode in the taskbar. I tried with a lot difficulty to rollback to WMP10 but it is the same problem for the restricted accounts. I was not successful to roll back further to WMP9. Amazing is that if I change the both restricted accounts to admin accounts then everything looks fine again. Do you have an idea what I should do because I do not want to change the 2 restricted account to admins? It may be a permission problem on some folder or registry key? 3) Some questions on WMP: Which media player service should be set on â??automaticâ?? or â??manuallyâ?? or deactivated. Can I remove wmpnscfg.exe from startup entries? What is wmiprvse.exe? Thanks in advance for answer Mical Tag: Streaming Proxy Settings Tag: 262462

    - Saving music, videos & pictures My son's laptop, running XP Home and approximately eighteen months old, is so full of crap I've decided to reformat and do a clean install of his OS. He has, in his WMP 11 library, close to 30GB of music, videos and pictures he wants to save. I assume all of these are located elsewhere in folders on the laptop. It's my understanding that the WMP library basically contains only links to the files in these folders as opposed to storing these files within WMP itself. What is the best way to save these files? I was thinking that I would simply copy or move them from their current file/folder locations to one of my Desktop external drives and then return them to his laptop once the clean install was finished. My intention is to eliminate the recovery sector on his hard drive and create a single partition. He has an actual installation disk for the XP operating system so he doesn't need the recovery sector. Does anyone have any suggestions, or any criticisms regarding my approach? If I'm wrong, then I'm wrong. I'm open to any and all advice and I appreciate any assistance that is given.

    - Library dissapeared and now I cannot add to library or share media Ive encountered some strange issues with WMP11 (on XP) over the past 2 weeks and Im hoping there's someone out there that can help. The problem started with my playlists disappearing from my library. When I noticed this I tried recreating them, but they would not save. A week or so later I noticed that all my music files were no longer in my library. While all this was happening my xbox could continue to see all the various media that was no longer "in" WMP. A few days ago I noticed that no new media was accessible from my Xbox and decided to try and troubleshoot the issue. I started by dropping and then re-adding my media folders to the monitored folders list. However, after hitting OK and then reopening the Add to Library dialog the montiored list was completely empty. I cannot get anything to "stick" in the list. Ive tried various fixes including deleting the WMP DB from %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Player as suggested by KB 925718. I've also reinstalled WMP 11 multiple times. I even removed the Zune UI from my computer thinking they may competing for the same files even though they had been coexisting happily for months. At this point I can play music/movies by using File/open but for everything else (library media sharing etc) the WMP is useless. Im uncertain where to go from here. Thanks in Advance for your help.

    - Microsoft falling, further and further behind Microsoft still insist on providing a maximum artwork resolution of 200x200 (and having the gaul to call it 'hi-resolution'). Worse, with WMP11 they apparently will downgrade any higher resolution artwork you manually add. For some considerably time Apple via the iTunes Store have been providing 600x600 artwork which is _nine_ times the resolution. Well now Microsoft are looking even more pathetic since Apple now offer 1425x1425 resolution artwork which equates to more than _fifty_ times the so called hi-resolution artwork offered by Microsoft. Note: iTunes 600x600 resolution was already the best of all the stores (Walmart and Amazon use 500x500). Now while this is perhaps an absurdly high resolution for its main uses (on an iPod screen or a computer display, or even a Full-HD 1080p TV), it is equally the case that Microsoft's offering of a paltry 200x200 pixels is barely adequate for even a Zune let alone using in Microsoft Media Center on a HDTV. Considering Microsoft have spent so much effort tarting up their graphics for Vista, disfiguring it with such mediocre artwork is a bizarre (but perhaps typical Microsoft) decision.

    - Strange Connection Problem with new Denon 4308ci Hi Everyone, I have searched a variety of threads, but cannot find any quite like this problem I am having. I will try to make this as less confusing as possible... First...my equipment... PC1...(name is HTPC)....Vista 64...WMP11 version 11.0.6001.3869 (I think...doing this from memory, since I am at work right now) ....Wired ethernet to linksys wrt54g wireless router. PC2...(name is MediaPC)...Vista 64...WMP version 11.0.6001.7000 (just installed Vista SP1 to try to resolve this issue). Wireless connection to my router. Denon AVR 4308ci. wired to Linksys router...2 weeks old, firmware was just updated. The goal here is to have streaming audio from PC2...MediaPC.. since it is left on all the time. Second...the problem... Through the wired connection the Denon can see PC1 ...(HTPC) and plays music fine. PC2...MediaPC.. can see the Denon....log into its Web Page and configure with no problems...So the connection is good. But the Denon does not see PC2...Only PC1. As a test, I disconnected the wired cable from PC1 and used a wireless USB NIC. (Same as what I use on PC2) The Denon Still sees PC1 (MediaPC) But now it says "not authorized" ( I am thinking it sees a different MAC address somewhere...but not sure why this would make a difference) I put back the wired and disconnect the wireless...all is good again. More information.... PC2 can see PC1 in WMP11. But PC1 Does not see PC2 (same as the Denon does not) This makes me believe it is not a problem with the Denon, since PC1 cannot see PC2 either. I have been through every setting on both PC's to make sure sharing, network, etc. are the same. I have checked all firewall, and router (wireless settings). Without patting myself on the back too much...let me say...I just got my Microsoft MCSE 2008 upgrade from Windows server 2003 last week. And I am Cisco CCNA certified...So believe me when I say I have checked anything that I can think of. The only thing I have not done is directly wire PC2 to the router to bypass the wireless and see if that makes a difference. It is a hassle to move the PC2, but necessary at this point. I will do that tomorrow. So in summary...PC1 works fine when hard wired..when wireless is connected to PC1...Denon sees it but says "not authorized" The Denon does not see PC2 at all. So maybe this error message may give someone a clue on where WMP11 is looking? And Maybe by adding or authorizing a MAC address it will allow connection? As I said, I am technically qualified to understand any feedback, but just don't really know where to look. Thanks Tag: Streaming Proxy Settings Tag: 262391

Thankfully looking over MSDN I found that it was possible to introduce custom file formats into WMP and I was successful in creating a registry patch which can stream H.264/MP4/M4V & AAC/M4A to my Xbox 360 from WMP11. http://a8t8.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!2518DD508BB713E8!156.entry With that out of the way although the primary purpose has been fulfilled I would like to improve on it if possible but here is where I have hit a brick wall. There are two outstanding minor issues that I would love to fix and better tie MPEG4 support into WMP if it is actually possible; 1) The length of audio/video for custom formats is not displayed in the library or during the now playing when you play something from the library. 2) Seeking is not supported (is that the right term?) where you can jump to any point in the video, fast forward/rewind etc when you play something from the library. But.. seeking will work if you open the MP4/M4V/M4A in WMP through explorer or through the File-Open menu in WMP or if the videos end up in the "Other Media" category in the library. The time length of the media file also sort of displays semi properly when you do this too though only for a brief moment if you jump to various points in the file it will display the time length. Why it partially works in one way and not through the other I have not been able to figure out at all & looking over MSDN and the registry I cannot locate anything that points me in the right direction. Ideally I would like to at least enable seeking for MP4/M4A/M4V if playing them through Windows Media Players own media library. (I have also looked pretty much at every WMP MPEG4 add-in pack and splitter, registry tweak that's out there and none have been able to overcome this.) Is it even possible for custom formats to be fully integrated into WMP's own library ? Thanks for any pointers or enlightenment anyone can share. Tag: Streaming Proxy Settings Tag: 262383

    - Any way to tell WMP11 to write ID3v2 only, not ID3v1? Ok, this may seem like an odd request, but is there any way to tell WMP11 to write ID3v2 tags only, not ID3v1, when tagging MP3 files? Long story short, my mp3 player (TrekStor vibez) can play back LAME encoded MP3 files gaplessly with absolute perfection, but only if they don't contain any ID3v1 tags. I've been using Media Monkey to clean out the ID3v1 tags where necessary, but if I want to re-edit any tag data using WMP11, WMP adds back in ID3v1 data. Thx.

    - xbox sharing - can see files, but not play them Win XP Pro SP2 Windows Media Player 11 xBox 360 (Dashboard version 2.0.6683.0) I've just downloaded and installed WMP 11. I go into Library -> Media Sharing. My xBox is listed. I select it, click "Allow" (default settings). On my xBox, I can now go into Media and select "HOME:Laptop" as a media source. Folders in WMP's default locations (ie: My Documents/My Pictures) are visible, as are the extra monitor folders on my external hard drive that I added to the Library. I can go into these and view file lists. I can list Albums and Genres of music: I can SEE all the stuff in my Library. However, I cannot view or play any files. It just hangs for a bit, trying to load it, and then I'll get the red-circle-with-line-through, or a cross for pics. I'm running Windows Firewall and I can see that the various TCP and UDP ports required for sharing are open. My router - a Thomson Speedtouch - is pretty much default. There aren't any firewall settings that I can see would interfere (and in any case this is all INSIDE the router firewall, right?) The xBox and PC are on the same subnet. My library has over 11,000 items in it - I've seen this mentioned as a possible cause? I've searched the newsgroups and google and either I'm missing something or this isn't common - most queries seem to involve the xBox not being able to see the PC at all. Can anyone suggest anything?

    - WMP 11 brings up wrong CD data Been ripping CD's with WMP11 (Vista Ultimate PC) .. all working OK. However put in one CD (genuine not a home copy) and it brings up art work & track list for a totally different CD. Although if I click play it does play correct track. I have tried CD on an XP PC and the same issue. Initially I thought that there must be wrong data on CD ... however I then loaded iTUNES .. and brought up correct art work & track list ??? So somehow WMP 11 is getting wrong 'data' for this CD ? Not a big issue for i CD ... but would like to understand how/where WMP 111 actually gets it's art work & track list from, and can I correct it ... do I need to tell WMP to 're-learn' or something ?

    - WMA Lossless to MP3 conversion Not strictly a WMP question, but where better to find people who know? I've ended with a lossless WMA file (because my CD was almost unreadable, and EAC extracted the track successfully). I'll keep the file for posterity, but I'd like also to convert it to 192kbps MP3 for my WMP11 library. I can't see a way of doing this in EAC, nor in CDEX, nor in WMP. Have I missed something, or do I need a different program? -- Steve Swift http://www.swiftys.org.uk/swifty.html http://www.ringers.org.uk Tag: Streaming Proxy Settings Tag: 262351

    - removing dead song links from WMP 11 OK, I've Googled for a while now, and the best solution I've found for removing dead song links from the WMP library is to delete the library entries, and then rescan monitored folders ... basically building the library from scratch. And that's actually a poor solution. Is there really no better way of doing this? Tag: Streaming Proxy Settings Tag: 262345

    - WMP 11 playlist format I accidentally posted this question in the MAC forum and was hooted off the block. Here is where I should have put it, maybe. I recently bought a CD label maker that included a software package. It only allows importing WMP playlists in .asx, .wax, and .wvx formats. Windows Media Player 11 saves playlists in .wpl format. I assume previous versions of WMP used those old formats for playlists Can I just change the extension to .wax, or is there a conversion routine floating around to change .wpl to .wax? Thanks.

    - Vista + uiMode="none" fullscreen issue Dear all, I am running into an issue with Vista I haven't with XP. I have an application that embed a WMP activex. When playing a video, the standard behavior (that works well on XP), is to be able to dblclick on video to enable fullscreen mode. However, on Vista, i am experiencing some trouble. Here is the pattern to reproduce the bug: * Start the video * Right click to make appear the contextual menu * Then try to double click on the video => the player stay in normal mode I am only able to reproduce this issue when: * UiMode is set to "none" (i have my own controls) * Autostart is set to false By setting the uiMode to "full" i don't have the bug. To avoid the problem, here is what i tried without results: * Use dblclick event to manually set fullscreen * Override Wndproc to catch double click * Set WindowsLessVideo to true A funny thing is by overriding wndproc or with registering to the wmp doubleclick event, I dont receive any notification over the video, but I receive it over the "black borders" on the top&bottom off the video. So expert, i have a couple of questions for you ;-) * Is the surface renderer different in uiMode=full and uiMode=none? * Can we pragmatically change the video renderer of WMP? * What exactly is the OcxState property? * Could anyone test my bug pattern and confirm that this is reproductable (or not)? * Do you have any idea how to avoid this bug? (PS: I already tried to upgrade my driver to be sure that wasn't a driver issue) Thanks a lot in advance, Az. Tag: Streaming Proxy Settings Tag: 262326

    - Scrolling to the end of a long list of albums Would whoever is in charge of the people who work on Media Player please instigate a rule that all developers *must* have at least 1,000 albums in their library and that they can only ever play/test the *last* dozen or so? That should get the problem fixed in a hurry. If you need some rubbish to fill up the first 988 albums, I'll send you my collection. :-) -- Steve Swift http://www.swiftys.org.uk/swifty.html http://www.ringers.org.uk Tag: Streaming Proxy Settings Tag: 262323
