    - Outdated Driver Error Everytime I open up WMP11, whether or not I am loading an audio or video file or nothing at all, after a few moments I get a popup stating that I am using an outdated driver that is no longer supported by WMP. How do I get this to go away? I uninstalled the only plug-in that I was using and the error is still there. I am running Windows XP-SP2 and WMP11 (the most up-to-date version). Thanks, Merg -- Today's problems don't worry me, I haven't solved yesterday's yet. Tag: format for audio book Tag: 262913

    - 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. Anyone have any ideas, here? Thanks, mark4man Tag: format for audio book Tag: 262911

    - How can you get a device's sync profile? WMP11 automatically sets the quality settings so when you sync videos to your device, they are converted to a format that the device can play. Is there a way to see what encoding profile is being used, or any way to see advanced details WMP11 is using to encode the video to that device? Tag: format for audio book Tag: 262905

    - WMP 11 and XM Radio I've had occasional problems getting WMP to work with XM Radio via the Media Guide. However, what I'm getting this time doesn't make sense to me. When I login and click "Listen Now" I get this: Failure of server APACHE bridge: No backend server available for connection: timed out after 10 seconds of idempotent set to OFF. Build date/time: Dec 5 2007 15:12:50 Change Number: 1014998 I can login via the xmradio.com website though so it seems to be a problem with WMP connecting to the MX Radio site now. I'm not sure, but if anyone has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated. Chris Tag: format for audio book Tag: 262895

    - 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: format for audio book 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). I'm running XP Pro SP2, all updates installed. Q9450 processor, 2GB RAM, 8800 GTX video card.

The media sharing dialog presents itself, whereby I select to "Share my media", hit OK - and then no reponse and I return to the same dialog as if I had not done anything.

    - 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: format for audio book 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: format for audio book 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.

    - 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).

    - 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: format for audio book 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: format for audio book Tag: 262838

    - 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: format for audio book Tag: 262823

    - Converting MKV to WMV or DIVX: recommended settings? I'm using JetAudio to convert some mkv video files so I can watch them via my media server network and PS3. The results have been quite degraded. When I select AVI (divx + mp3) with same size and frame rate as source the resulting AVI file has a choppy frame rate quality. Trying the same with WMV (and a 512 Kbps video bitrate) resulted in a substantially smaller file and inferior video quality. Any suggestions for the best format, framerate and (for WMV) video bitrate? Thanks Tag: format for audio book Tag: 262788

    - Jerky playback I have a wmv file that has played just fine for over a year. I use it in a powerpoint presentation. Suddenly it started playing jerky - the audio is fine but the video starts and stops at random. First, the environment: a. XP Professional, SP2 b. Nothing else running on the system per the task manager. c. On task manager, media player shows between 45 and 60 % CPU while playing the movie. d. Running Norton 360. I upgraded to WMP 11 - didn't help. I thought maybe the file was corrupted so I renamed the old file and made a fresh copy from another computer. Didn't help. I noticed that if I play the movie a second time (replay) it isn't jerky... it's only jerky the first time that I play it. I then discovered that all of my clips are the same - jerky the first time but not the second time. AHA! A buffering problem! I enlarged the read-ahead buffer to 20 seconds. Didn't help. I'm stumped. What could have changed, even by mistake, that could be causing this? Could Windows Update have changed something on me? Or a Norton update? Tag: format for audio book Tag: 262785

    - Video freezes with WMP 11 I have what I know is a software issue with WMP 11 on WinXP. Watching videos results in system freezes to the point of my computer crashing with an infinate loop error. I have replaced the video card as well as uninstalling and reinstalling the NVIDIA video drivers and it still happens. About a month ago it began behaving after a system reboot and videos played again without any problem but when I rebooted again a week later, the system came up with a "recovery notification" message stating that it was reverting back to the last known good checkpoint and the problems came back. No checkpoints I've tried to use on the restore will fix this. There also was no new software added before or after the brief period when the WMP worked properly. This also effects other video players as well but not as severely as it effects WMP (they hang but don't crash with an infinate loop error and system dump). So, my question is this, is this codec related? If so, what so I do to fix it (such as where do I get the codecs and where do I place them) ? Tag: format for audio book Tag: 262768

    - Online CD info database errors When inserting my audio CD's, it's common that WMP has incorrect info about the album. Ii took a few tries, finally figured out how to edit the info in the pop-up window from fai.music.metaservices.microsoft.com (the page is quite touchy - it likes to refresh and forget all the data you just typed in.) Conspicuously there's a field missing. The Year! Is there another web page where I can edit this info easier? Some albums come up with the year info, so it's getting in there somehow...

    - WMP not woring For some reason WMP will not open. At the same time Internet explorer will not open either. I have installed Mozilla Firefox in order to access my mail as my mail will not open with internet explorer. There appears also to be other applications not fully operative and wonder if I have a driver conflict. I have tried to reinstall WMP but the sytem tells me there is a more up to date version already installed and it won't allow it to install version 11. I have looked in control panel to try and find WMP to uninstall it and cannot see it there.( If I could tell what version I had I might be able to download the correct version for the repair facility tool) I am running a Gateway laptop with windows vista. If the trouble is driver conflicts how do I rectify it. Thanks Terry Tag: format for audio book Tag: 262758

    - streaming audio help needed. I cannot get NBA.COM "listen live" to give me sound. All other sound and all other streaming audio that I've attempted works fine. I've tried every FAQ and troubleshooting document I can find. I've tried nba.com's tech support folk. I've got XPSP2 with IEVersion7 I'm running AVGFree and Windows firewall. I'm also using Linksys BEFSR41 I rolled back to v9 and I get chipmunk sound. If I install 10 or 11...... nothing. Anyone wanna take a shot at it, I sure would appreciate the help.

    - Reinstall WMP, says I already have Current Version I want to Reinstall WMP, though when I run the Installer it says I already have the Current Version. Can I Invoke the "Reinstall All Mode" to just tell it to reinstall everything? I'm missing the Network Media Sharing Service. Thanks, Scott<- Tag: format for audio book Tag: 262750

Is there something special about the term "Audio Books"? For me, an
"audio book" is a bunch of CD's that I borrow from my local library. I
rip the CD's to MP3 then pop the MP3's on my MP3 player and take the
CD's back to the library. This way I don't have to worry about the fines
if I'm still listening a few months later.
