    - No video in limited account after SP3 Hi, WMP11 doesn't play video, just audio, since recently. I've tried MPG, WMV and AVI encoded with DIVX. This is in my everyday limited Windows account, an administrator account (any one) can play video all right. It was working fine before. I don't know exactly where things went wrong since I'm not playing movies all the time, but I recently upgraded my XP home to SP3. I tried downloading WMP11 and just re-installing it but an error is displayed at the end saying the program wasn't installed. The next time I run WMP a welcome configuration windows is displayed, but then the problem isn't solved. I've found other similar problems but there's no telling if they're related, it seems to me that the no-video problem may arise in WMP by multiple causes: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/community/newsgroups/WindowsMedia/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.windowsmedia.player&tid=4d5bc888-04c9-47d2-b1d9-21c0aceb34f7&cat=&lang=en&cr=US&sloc=&p=1 http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/community/newsgroups/WindowsMedia/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.windowsmedia.player&tid=b2e2ea1e-a225-4006-b145-703f3ba8474d&cat=&lang=en&cr=US&sloc=en-us&p=1 http://computerhelpforums.net/windowsxp-general/3919-bizarre-windows-media-player-wont-play-wav-files-after-sp3.html Tag: WMP can't sync certain files to device Tag: 263713

    - Hidden data in WMP 10 Not really, but looking at the Library tab shows ~25% of MP3s whited out. They still play and can display track data, but only when selected. Something must have happened to one of my display settings. Anyone else experience this? I have not yet been able to figure out any difference between the normal ones and the reverse display ones.

    - how to not sync? WMP11 on Vista When I plug in my digital audio player, WMP11 automatically brings up a window that seems to threaten to wipe my player if I don't click the correct button ("When you click Finish, your device will be updated to mirror your Windows Media Player library"). How do I stop WMP from doing *anything* when I plug in my player? I have lots of stuff on my player (that I manage myself with rsync) and I don't want WMP to sync; not even once. I have the feeling I need to eradicate WMP from my system. - Larry Fenske Tag: WMP can't sync certain files to device Tag: 263706

    - wmp11 appcrash Hi, every time I try to open a file with wmp11 (mp3, avi, mpeg..... everything), I get a "stop responding" window. Under "crash analisys", inside the error log, I read APPCRASH with MF.dll and sometimes with kernel32.dll. I've run sfc /scannow and it seems that mf.dll is corrupted. What can I do? I do not want to format just for wmp11..... I'm running Vista HP. Regards (sorry for my english!) Tag: WMP can't sync certain files to device Tag: 263702

    - WMP11 - Vista X64 - VC-1 - C00D1199 Hello chaps and ladies, I installed Vista x64 the other day, and did what I normally did on Vista x86 which is to install the Community Codec Pack. However having done that, it was not working as expected, so I removed that, did some hunting around and installed the Vista Codec Pack and then the x64 components pack. With those installed, everything worked except for wmvhd (vc-1) content. In order to rule out any encoding issues with the file I downloaded the amazing caves sampled from the Microsoft site. When I play any VC-1 content WMP sulks and says: "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file." If I click on the web help it reports I have error "C00D1199". At this stage I have removed all the codec packs I had installed since I just want to get windows back to its vanilla state. I cannot seem to manage to do that..... Any suggestions? As a side note, I downloaded Media Player Classic last night, and it *does* play back VC-1 content...... Help! Thanks.... -- Francis Bacon Tag: WMP can't sync certain files to device Tag: 263700

    - importing vcr files on dvd into media player/media centre This is a repeat request! Vcr tapes were recorded, on a domestic m/c. to DVD.The DVD was placed in the pc.and the file was opened in Windows Explorer. The VOB files was changed to MPEGs and opened with Media Centre via Media Player. Each file played with video and audio but only for a few seconds instead of the several minutes I was expecting. As far as I can tell the full file was present. Can this problem be overcome? Any help will be very welcome. Tag: WMP can't sync certain files to device Tag: 263695

    - WMP11 does not want to play cds Hi all - I recently upgraded to Vista Ultimate and since then I have not been able to get cds that I normally play to play past a given point. It will start playing for about 60 seconds and then it will pop up a msg; Windows Media Player cannot read the CD. The disc might be dirty or damaged. Turn on error correction, and then try again. These same discs were read before and are read on other players - I even replaced both drives (had intended to already) with the ASU Lightscribes and still stops at the same point and throws error msg.

    - wmpnetwk.exe and task manager I/O read bytes In trying to diagnose why my laptop is slower than normal and that the hard disk is being accessed far to much I looked at Windows Task Manager. It shows that WMPnetwk.exe has I/O read bytes at 11.744 GBytes even although I am not connected to any other computer. WMPnetwk.exe has a CPU time of 0:02.34 and only Kaspersky anti virus had a higher time. Currently I only have two AVI files totalling 1.5GB and no music files on my laptop. I do have 2.3GB of JPG and NEF photos. Why is the I/O read bytes figure so high? regards, Beemer Tag: WMP can't sync certain files to device Tag: 263688

    - Another ogg question: playing .ogg on 64bit WMP/Media Center Thank you for your answers. Now .ogg files are listed 32bit version of WMP's Library. Now, I wonder if it is possible to play on 64bit WMP/Media Center. I tried KLite Codec Pack 64bit Add-on, and Vista Codec x64 component, but still 64bit WMP cannot play .ogg neither .ogm files. I tried to search Google to find some other x64 codecs but those were all I could find. Tag: WMP can't sync certain files to device Tag: 263683

    - Auto List of Never Played Songs In Windows Media Player ... is there a way to create an auto play-list that will contain only songs never played? It seems to me if I create an auto list that says "Date Last Played is before 5 Years" I should get the songs that I have never played as well as any that I have not played in the last 5. But, if I put that criteria in my auto-list definition I get no songs. I tried to manually change the .wpl file, but nothing I tried seemed to work. Or is there advanced search syntax that can give me the same thing? One thing I realize I can do is sort by Last Played and get all those never played at the top. But, I would like to listen to these in random order (Shuffled) Not a huge deal, but I think it would be a good feature to have (and maybe it is already there... I just cannot figure it out).

    - Multiple values Suppose you have 3 different values in Genre Hits; 80s;1982 Now you will find this song under Hits and 80s;1982 So you need a space between the ; and the value You go to Genre and change Hits; 80s;1982 into Hits; 80s; 1982 Got to the song the tag is now Hits; 80s;1982; 80s; 1982 So you need a spaced between the ; and the value and you can only change this in the song it self.

    - Managing ogg files in the Library, impossible? I've installed K-lite codec pack, so WMP can play .ogg files (I've associated .ogg files with WMP). The problem is the .ogg files in my My Music directory won't show up on the Library. Only .wma and .mp3 files are indexed. Is it impossible to make WMP treat .ogg files like .mp3 files, so that I can find my .ogg files in the Library? Tag: WMP can't sync certain files to device Tag: 263669

    - WM11 Hotfix for Readyboost in Vista? When I use Readyboost via an SD card, I keep getting "Windows Media Player Stopped Working" messages. As soon as I stop Readyboost, remove the SD card, and reboot, then Windows Media Player 11 starts working again. I noticed there was a Hotfix for this problem available for XP.

    - Can WMP11 ignore a USB flash stick? I just bought myself a rather big (32GB) flash stick for storing pictures and stuff. Now, when I insert the flash stick, WMP starts using like 50% of my CPU time... I assume that it's scanning the device for media (and finding plenty) but I really would prefer if it didn't. Does anyone know what WMP might be doing? And is there a way I can make it stop? I tried waiting, thinking that eventually WMP would get tired of looking through my samey holiday photos, but I gave up after a few trillion clock-cycles. I'm having a hard time finding the synchronization settings but I believe it's set to "manual". Of course, there is an easy work-around - closing Windows Media Player - but I actually do enjoy listening to music while I use my PC...

    - WMV file made on MM1 does not play on WMP Hi to all Since I use WMP (9 and 10) I always had problems with some wmv files (not all), but because they always oppened on Winanp, etc. and were not edited by me, I didn't bother.

    - Re-ripping CDs I ripped a number of my classical CDs as fairly low bitrate MP3 and would like to rip them again as lossless WMA. However, I find that when I insert an already ripped CD which is already in my WMP media library, WMP does not pick up the details that I entered when previously ripping the CD, and I have to enter the details again.

The file does play but no sound so i think it may be the audio codec.

    - "Unknown" MP3 Dates Issue On my computer, I have some eighty hours worth of classical music that is all tagged with the dates the works in question were created. This means most of the music has dates in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, so dates in the range of 1701-1900*, with a few earlier and a few later than this. Dates prior to the twentieth century show up in Windows Media Player 11 as "unknown", although right clicking on the MP3 file itself and selecting the Details tab in Windows XP or Windows Vista shows the date from the ID3 tag. I don't believe this is normal behavior for WMP 11 because the operating system sees the dates correctly. Is it possible that I have found a minor flaw in Windows Media Player? Is there a fix for this anomaly? Any information you can provide is greatly appreciated. *Ever since the Y2K panic, it seems that people have adjusted centuries to begin on the date ending in 00 when they actually begin on the date ending in 01. I'm being a little old school here, so please don't hold it against me too much. :) Tag: WMP can't sync certain files to device Tag: 263649

It gives me an error message saying: "The file you are attempting to play has an extension (.mp3) that does not match the file format. Playing the file may result in unexpected behavior. Do you want the Player to try to play this content." Yes or No When I click on - Yes - Internet Explorer opens with another security warning box advising me - file download - do you want to save this file - Name: Play-MP3.exe Type: Application,97.8KB From: www.fastmp3player.com When I click run - then another security warning box comes up and advises me that the publisher couldn't be verified and is unknown and boots me out.

    - Using WMP 11 to play CD collection Windows XP SP3 + WMP 11 I have about 450 CD's which should require about 25GB storage. I have more than enough room for this on my regular WinXP desktop. So assume that I decide to use WinMP 11 on my existing PC to run the music, I'm still unclear about these points: Using normal audio cabling, my CD player is connected to an old Sony Amplifier which drives the speakers. Similarly, the TV is also connected to the amplifier so I can play TV or DVD sound through the external speakers The PC is in one room. The amplifier and TV in another. So, it seems to me that I need: 1. A video connection from the computer to the TV to enable the computer to drive the TV as a display of the various CD's, tracks, etc.. 2. A remote to control the computer's WMP to select and display the desired tracks. 3. An audio connection from the computer to the input of the external amplifier to drive the speakers. Corresponding Questions: 1. Which output on the computer, and which input on the TV. What sort of cabling or other connection? 2. Where do I find the appropriate remote? Does it require a board on the computer? 3. Which output on the computer, and which input on the amplifier.

    - WMP11 and Syncing Videos to Media Devices Hi All, Hopeing someone can help. I have a system with Vista Ultimate SP1. an Archos 605 with the latest fimrware, (I have also tried it with a HP PDA and a HTC Phone, both running Windows Mobile 6) I want to use WMP11 to sync my videos to the Devices, now I can drag and drop and it works fine, but the video is large and it also wastes alot of drive space or I can use a 3rd party programme which costs more money and doubles the effort. However I should be able to use the builtin sync feature on wmp11 to convert and sync with the archos, or windows mobile devices. Unfortunately it doesn't work If I sync a MPEG File it works fine, same with Media Center DVR-MS files, it converts these and reduces the file size, and syncs no problem. If I use a avi file, it fails to work. Gives you an error that Media Player cannot convert the file to a format that can be played by the player. I had a look on the net and downloaded the XP Video Codec detector, and that gave me a clue all my codecs have this error: "this decoder is not compatible with the synchronization features of windows media 10". Now does anyone have WMP11 working to allow you to sync videos automatically? If so can you advise what codec you are using so I can try that. Any help very much appreciated.

    - Ideas ok WMP is falling behind in the department of album art embedding. There are programs out there like FixTunes that make winamp look like a joke in this area, Winamp also has WMP covered here. IMO Winamp is the better media player at the moment, the way it can simply list many tracks in a format of your choice eg "Artist - Title" where as WMP seems to list them in simple form title only (that's outside of the library). I would also like to see the Auto-Tag feature emulated in WMP.

    - WMP11 Vista - Won't Show Shared Library I have searched the site, but can't seem to find a resolution to this problem. Have searched 'HERE' (http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=867861) and 'HERE' (http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=925449), and so hope someone has come across (and resolved) this issue before. So, am running WMP 11 on an XP SP3 machine. It shares out all my media. The shared media is accessible from 2 x Xbox 360s and a mixture of XP and Vista PCs - except one. WHich just happens to be my Vista PC. It's running Vista SP1 and has all the latest Windows Updates. My PC originally showed the shared library within WMP11. I subsequently deleted the shared library when I upgraded the hard drives on the media sharing machine, but now it won't add it back in. I have deleted the PC from the sharing on the media PC. I have then checked 'Find media that others are sharing' My PC has reappeared in the shared list on the media sharing PC Still nothing I have closed down all WMP programs, including the networking component and renamed the WMP folder in ..\AppData\Local\Microsoft and let it be recreated Still nothing I have allowed new devices to both connect automatically and with authorisation on the media sharing PC and either way makes no difference. I can add the media directly to the library as monitored folders and it works, but it will not show up as a shared library, despite other devices (including other Vista PCs) picking it up fine. I don't know if you can manually add a shared library, but it won't appear on its own despite it being authorised by the media sharing PC and my PC being enables to add shared media. Any help would be appreciated, as iTunes is looking more appealing by the second, but that would mean having to admit failure to a number of apple-centric mates. -- dannym ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dannym's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=50838 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=979470 http://forums.techarena.in Tag: WMP can't sync certain files to device Tag: 263586

    - Uncorrupting WMP 11 on XP Hello, I am using XP with SP2 and WMP 11 and it seems something happened to it because when I play mpegs, for example, I get errors after the first play. When the file is first opened, WMP says, 'acquiring codec', then 'codec acquired', and a red 'x' appears next to the filename, then it plays the file. If I stop the player (or let it run to the end) and try to play the file again, it can't do it. The error, from the red 'x', says, 'an audio codec is needed to play this file'. When I press the 'web help' button, a web page opens to the error. Under technical details, it says: Original Error Code: C00D10D1 Original Error Message: 'Windows Media Player cannot play the file because a required codec is not installed on your computer.' . . . this happens with any MPEG file but this particular file uses an MPEG1 codec. None of this has ever happened before, so, I uninstalled WMP 11, which actually reverts back to a previous version and did a re-install but it did not change anything. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks. --g Tag: WMP can't sync certain files to device Tag: 263584

    - Converting ogg to wma when copying to a portable? My portable device doesn't support playing ogg files. I can play ogg files in WMP because I've installed some codec pack. Is there any way to set WMP automatically convert ogg files to wma when copying them into my portable (Sync)? Only ogg files, for mp3 or wma don't need conversion.

It syncs most songs except for certain ones, displaying error message that
says that it can't find the device's certificate (for these songs). I tried
updating the firmware on the device, but the same error message came up
again. Any thoughts? Do i need to update the software itself?

What file types (file extensinos) are you having troubles with? Are these
purchased files?
