If I right click and use the 'Open With' option Media player will display my
tif files, as well as Photo Gallery, but they will not go into the library.
If I rename the file from .tif to .jpg it will load into the library and
display the file fine. The files are tif not jpg. I would think I shouldn't
have to rename the file to get this to work. I want to use Media Center and
if there not in the library they won't be in Media Center.
Almost every week I have it that the media-library database of WMP gets corrupt. I throw out everything in the map Users/benergy/AppData/Local/Microsoft/MediaPlayer And let WMP build a fresh database to have the same problem again a couple of days later. I'm running Vista64x, all updates are installed.

New to the forum but just installed vista 64 the other night so im sure i'll be here a lot! Now i've been looking a lot into how to play AVI files through the media center, and it seems everyone uses the FFDShow program. So, after installing vista64, drivers, and all updates (except SP1), and configuring the media center I then installed:
-Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package x64 SP1
-FFDShow
-MediaControl 5.4.4x64.......
I am new to windows vista, and I encountered a problem that I want to using Netscape navigator to browse web and sometime I visit website that contain media files such as mp3, wma... and the browse doesn't play it using WMP. With Firefox browse can play them after I install the plugin but Netscape doesn't. I have find around to find a plugin for Netscape but I have not found yet. Any body can tell me the way to fix it? I am using Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit with SP1, WMP 11.0.6001.7000, netscape navigator 9b3.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a Sony DSC-W290 digital camera that take HD video in 720P with the extension of "MP4". I can play the files on my computer with QuickTime player, but when I try to play them with Windows Media Center on the same PC, it says "Cannot play video. One or more codecs required to play this content cannot be found." The first time I tried to play these in Media Center, it downloaded a codec first before attempting to play, but it still cannot play them. How can I make Media Center play these video files?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've had Vista Home Premium installed on my desktop PC for over a year now, but I never used Windows Media Center until recently and noticed this problem when I purchased a Media Center Extender. After choosing the folders (music, video and image) that I wanted in my WMC library (on BOTH my desktop PC AND Media Center Extender), only my image files do not appear in the libraries. Under "Picture Library" (again, on both units), all folders and sub-folders which I selected are shown but contain no "items". The files which I desire to view are .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, and .bmp formats and I have converted some back and forth between formats to see if that changed anything. Can anyone steer me in the right direction on this?

I am attempting to add my music files to my Windows Media Center, anyone know how long this normally takes? After selecting my folder it pops up on the bottom right that it is adding media, it says it is searching for files and it just keeps doing that. It has been running for a few hours now and is still going. SHould it take this long? I have about 15 cd's worth of media in the folder.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI've been lurking in this and other MS groups for some time hoping to find the answer to my problem, but so far, nothing has worked. Using Vista64 with 4g ram, with latest version of Windows Mail. McAfee Security Center. Latest versions of Windows Media Player and Real Player. Have scanned and found no virus or spyware (using McAfee). Problem: Often, but not always, attached .wmv files received in email will start in Windows Media Player, or in Real Player if I chose that one. In both programs the .wmv file will start with audio and video. About 1/4 into the movie, it stops playing completely. Screen goes black with a message imposed "Play Again>". No other error message.
This has been going on for a few months and it _seems_ like it was around the time that comcast changed its email program. I did notice that wmv's coming from comcast emailers would almost always behave as described, but now I notice that it also comes (seldom) from other ISPs. I have tried saving the files in a folder and then opening them by double clicking them in Explorer, but it makes no difference. I've also tried opening them directly from WMP with same results. I've updated my video driver (Nvidea), still no joy. I have been able to google the various .wav files and download and play them completely but of course I'm not sure where the emailed file originated online.
i upgraded from XP pro to vista and i cannot seem to get medial player to play DVD files like it did in XP. What i did, i left XP installed on a 40GB "C"drive and installed vista "clean" on a 300GB "d" drive, hoping i could import a few inportant files and bookmarked internet sites later. Is there any way to find the codec from XP and install it into media player in vista?

Are there other icon libraries "hidden" in Vista which I can access and then look for my favorite icons?

When I try to play video or audio files on Media Center through the TV via HDMI, the video and audio is very laggy. It also sounds sort of static like. When I play CD's or DVD's the problem is resolved. Also, when I unplug the HDMI, the problem is resolved. Also, when I minimize Media Center, the problem is resolved. It only happens when the HDMI is plugged in and Media Center is Maximized. I have searched all over and have not been able to find a solution to this problem. I have tried changing the HDMI cords and changing the HDMI input on the TV. I've also tried to use a different TV and no luck.
