    - Walmart video clips I tried to play a video clip (Vista WMP 11) on the Walmart website. It gave me a small screen and had to rebuffer every few seconds. Unwatchable. If I go to my very old and slow XP work computer with the slower DSL connection, I get full screen uninterrupted video streaming. Tag: media player Tag: 263724

    - Window Media Player 11 codecs (problems) I wish MS, would paste this on there website, How to play 99% of all video & audio media out there. Have 400 + video, in .avi .ogm .mkv .h264 vorbis..etc and media player 11 with / service pack 1 for vista can't play even one video, as for audio... well I have 3400 .flac files, and 1200 .ogg files, and about 200 monkey audio.. WMP 11 can't even play those too. So, can someone please tell, if there ANY way, of installing some codec' pack's, that would allow me to play the above mention video and audio files...and of course Freeware would be very nice. Thanks in Advance Richard Tag: media player Tag: 263721

    - Unable To Edit Media Info I recently ripped some CDs and I need to edit some of the info manually but when I push enter it just goes back to what was originally entered by WMP. I have the "only add missing info" option selected and I'm able to edit info on previously ripped albums, just not the ones ripped today. Tag: media player Tag: 263720

    - Ripping CD's with media player 11 I just got MP 11, for the longest time it didn't work so I went back to 9. And one day my MP updated to 11 and it appeared to work now "HOWEVER" when I rip cd's they go to my music files which is correct but they do not go to my MP Library and I can't move them from my music to the MP. But the MP will play them if I select it in my music. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO FIX THIS?????? Or should I say myself the headache and roll back to 9. Tag: media player Tag: 263718

    - video only - no audio Using wmp 11, I only get video with no audio with some wmv files. I loaded the file into mplayer2 and it asked to download "WMV-9 VCM RTW" which I did, and it played fine there (mplayer2) but still won't play in wmp. I noticed in streaming video I could view and hear files with wmv V9 Standard audio codec. but could not hear them if they used wmv 9 audio codec. Any ideas? Tag: media player Tag: 263717

    - Original Year ID3 tag Is there a way to get Windows Media Player 11 to display/use/enable the "Original Year" (original release year) ID3 tag? If not, does anyone know if there are plans to include this feature in a future release of WMP? It would be nice to be able to utilize this fairly powerful tag; e.g., say, when an album is re-released in 2002, it would be nice to find it via its original 1965 release date too. For more information about the tag in question, see "original year" on this page: http://assistanttools.com/articles/supported-tags.shtml Tag: media player Tag: 263715

    - 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: media player 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: media player 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?

    - 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: media player Tag: 263700

    - 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: media player 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: media player 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.

    - 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.

The file does play but no sound so i think it may be the audio codec. I see the message flash by "error downloading codec".odd thing if u play another AVI file you can then play this file again and the sound works . i got this info from GSPOT. GSPOT says both codecs are installed. Tag: media player Tag: 263650

    - "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: media player Tag: 263649

    - WMP11 Windows Vista Home Premium Hi There, new to this group: I am trying to get my WMP11 to play downloaded (.mp3's). In the Technical Support Information section under the Audio Codecs area it says that it supports - type DMO; MP3 Decoder DMO; Format 0055;Binary-MP3dmod.dll;Ver.-11.0.6001.7000? Does that mean it should support playing downloaded MP3's? Cause it does not. 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. What sort of cabling or other connection? -- PT Tag: media player Tag: 263626

    - 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.
