I had windows media player set up to be able to stream content(e.g. videos, music, picture etc) from my PC to my T-box.I havnt use this feature in a while and I went to use it last night but my tbox can not pick up my PC.When I go to windows media setting I go:Stream > Turn on media streaming > Then I get a pop up saying turn it on, with UAC logo next to it.I am admin on it so it should work. I click on it nothing happens.How can I get media player to stream again or how do I reset media player to default setting so I can set it up again
I wanted to ask if it is possible to set Windows media player to open as the default player inside media center.The reason that I ask this is that I find media center sound is very low quality. I am using it inside windows 7 ultimate X64. I also use Media Browser and have set it to use media player as an external player but it loses some functionality after something is played I have to restart media center and media Browser to play anything again because it will go back to menus but not play anything untill
I am trying to get the XM Radio Online plugin to work within Windows Media Center 7. I am following the widely published instructions, but when I click on the plugin it navigates me straight to the SiriusXM site. I do not get a popup to login or start a 7 day trial. I have tried this on multiple machines and I experience the same thing. When I click on "Listen Online" link it wont open up the XM player, it appears popup windows do not function in the browser within WMC.
I want to stream to my files to my PS3. My problem lies in that clicking the 'Turn on media streaming' button does not do anything. I've tried clearing the .wmdb files in the "%userprofile%Local SettingsApplication DataMicrosoftMedia Player" folder, but it appears that WMP is not able to populate any of my files in its "Library" (I don't actually use WMP, I use Winamp).I had it working in the past but don't know what I have changed. Also, I am using HomeGroup as there are other units in the house on Win7.
What I would like to do is to be able to access all of my music and videos from my computer and external hard drive, on my Xbox, through my router. I am using the Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus and firewall, and no third party antivirus/antispyware or firewall programs.I have an Xbox 360 Elite, not one of the new wireless versions. I went into HomeGroup on my computer and checked 'share media with devices' and also checked music, pictures, and videos. So far I can play music on the Xbox by going to the music app and choosing my PC. The problem is, I can only play songs that are directly in the Music folder on my computer. And only certain songs at that, I'm not sure why. I have a subfolder within Music called Full Albums and I cannot play ANYthing in that subfolder. What am I missing?Also, is it possible to access music and videos on my external hard drive? Provided my external hard drive is connected to my computer of course.Lastly, I can't access anything unless I disable Windows Firewall. How do I set up an exception for the Xbox so that I don't have to disable the firewall every time I want to do this?
I have a home network setup and am running Windows 7 Pro on my main computer. I am trying to stream my media from this computer to other devices on the network and have successfully many times on this network, mainly to a Sony tv in the living room. I don't know when or what happened, but one day I tried to watch a video on my TV, and the Windows Media Server was unavailable.-Network is setup as a "Home" Network-I have Windows firewall turned off-Am running Norton 360 firewall instead of Windows firewall-Have reset Norton firewall to all the default settings (which I believe allows media sharing by default)-Have my libraries shared-But, here's the problem I believe- when I go to Windows Media Player to ensure Media streaming is enabled, a button says "Turn media streaming on", but when I press it, it grays out for a few seconds, like it is turing it on, but then dosen't change to "Turn media streaming off", nor do I get the button at the bottom to "Save" settings.I recently converted to a SSD drive for OS and seperate data drive in RAID0, so changed a regristry key to move the user files to another drive location (all programs and files open the way they should on the computer right now, and I believe media streamiing has worked since then.
I have VLC Portable as the default program for opening some video files, like .mp4 and .avi. And I have Foobar (portable) as the default program for .mp3.Usually the icons on .mp4, .avi, .mp3 files get updated with the icons of the assigned media players.But on this PC it's not working. They're still the same icons as if WMP was the default player.Does it have to do with the Standard user account? (Because on other PCs I run from an Admin account and I don't have such problems.)
How can I make Windows Media Player stop updating media every freaking time I start it up? It always hogs up massive amount of CPU power and goes into (Not Responding) for a min while updating.I only add media files to the Windows Explorer Library so I can get indexed searches. I don't even use WMP to view files or anything. Just to burn some music CDs sometimes.I've tried deleting the files from the WMP library but the next time I open it up, it scans and updates all my files again! Is there a way to completely purge the WMP library and make it not update ever? I've unchecked every option that seems to make it scan and update but it still does it.Basically I want to UNLINK the Windows Explorer Library from the WMP Library.
I�ve been trying to stream media from my computer to the PS3. So far my guess is that the reason it isn�t working is because when I go to,Control PanelAll Control Panel ItemsNetwork and Sharing CenterMedia streaming options,the pull down menu �Show devices on:� is on �Local network� and only shows only my PC. Whenever I change it to �All networks� I see the �Unknown Device� (I think this is the PS3). When I click �OK� it doesn�t seem to keep the changes. When I reopen �Choose media streaming options�� it�s back on �Local network�.We recently got a new router (Linksys E2500) and this issue seemed to start about then. It could have something to do with the router but I�m wondering why these setting won�t save for me. If I recall correctly, these settings saved when we used our old router. Just some other info that may be useful, my computer has a wired connection to the router and the PS3 is connecting wirelessly.

I've been using Windows 7 media streaming to my xbox for some time with no problems.However, I have just moved house, and have had to change my network setup as I have a new service provider. And now, the Xbox refuses to speak to the PC.They are both on the same network, using the same router, and I have changed nothing on the PC itself, except that when I first plugged the network cable in, Windows asked me to tell it which group to join (I selected Home). The xbox is happily detecting the network and the internet, but not the PC (although the PC name is still in the list under Video Apps, but when you select it it just says "Can not find PC".
I'm in grave problem here. I just installed windows 7 x64 a few days back. And initially I installed the 32bit version of k-lite codec pack for my windows media player. The media center worked fine then. It was loading my ffdshow and ac3filter along as I checked it.But then yesterday I noticed that the same pop-up od recommended/express install of WMP came again. Initially I thought that it must be some bug or something, but then when my MKV and AVI files didn't work in WMC, I realized that somehow WMP x64 got triggered, and now it is using the x64 bit of WMP in WMC. And I just wanna revert back to 32-bit WMP in WMC.
I just got an emacines 1360g to use on a 2nd tv. I want to stream from my main htpc with win 7 media center to it through media center. I had hoped that this machine would be good enough. Added a wireless n USB adapter other than that it is stock with only 2 gb of ram. I have the tv Hooked up via hdmi with 720p resolution.When I look at network drives through windows explorer, it seems to react fairly quickly. When I try to access movies list from media center, it takes forever (>10 mins) and doesn't bing all of them up. same with recorded tv or music or pictures.Is my problem that emachines pc needs more ram or do you think it could be wireless network connection or a setting. I have another laptop that streams great from my main htpc so I don't think it is network,especially since win explorer seems to work fairly quickly. Is it possible t get this system to do media center streaming?
I'm trying to stream music to other computers and media devices on the network. I have 2 x W7 PC and 2 x W7 laptop. Laptops can push music to other PCs and to media player, but PC's won't, although they can receive from laptop. When I select 'Play To' in Media Player, the dialog box does not appear - well is does for a split second then disappears. PCs are 64bit with IE9, laptops 32bit with IE9. All settings checked and the same. Laptops are wireless, PCs on ethernet.
I have what seems to be a strange problem with m USB ports. I am running Windows 7 64bit on a HP Pavilion dx5.
I was running Winamp listening to a streaming media file through my external speakers when i decided to plug in my usb headphones ti listen. However now WHENEVER I play ANY streaming media file through Winamp or WMP the audio gets directec to the USB headphones even though there are no headphones plugged in or not. If any music is then played with the same WMP or Winamp the audio gets directed to the speakers. Play the streamng media and the audio gets redireced to the USB.
For some strange reason I cannot get any streaming media to be released from the USB, and be direced BACK to the speakers as I desire. The USB seems to be STUCK on when trying to play steaming media.
I simply wan to be able to plug an then unplug the headphones and the sysem act as it should.
I see that there have been several posts about IDM, but none of them have answers for what I'm looking to do. There is no issue with IDM, just an annoyaIDM is great, I use it all the time. But I don't want it to handle all of my downloads. Sometimes, it doesn't work properly with certain sites (the ones that make you wait a certain amount of time before you can download the file), and it's during those times that I really hate IDM.What I want changed is for IDM to only intercept streaming files, not files I could otherwise download anyway (like programs, etc). Is there a way to make IDM only take in streaming files?
I can't get eithe WMP or MC to play a DVD. I've set the region code. WMP acts like it will play, but then just goes blank, and MC says it cannot play the DVD. These are original discs, not burned copies. I have a custom built system, with 2 graphics cards (GTX 260 and a GT 220) 6 GB of RAM, and an i7 processor. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
When I press on Choose media streaming options on the [Control Panel Network and Internet Network and Sharing Center Advanced sharing Settings] Windows 7 explorer.exe won't respond and its closing it.
(Win 7 Pro 64-bit). On the "Choose Media Streaming Options for Computers and Devices" screen in the Network and Sharing center, where it shows devices on all networks, how do I get back devices that I remove from that list? I accidentally removed them and want to get them back.
I would like to know how to change the volume level from 50 to 100 in Windows Media Center on Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I have tried to look for the Windows Media Center folder by showing hidden folder and also hidden windows sytem files as well, but no success. Please help me. My complaint is that I want the volume for Media Center to be at 100 because when I use it I can only get 50.
29th September 2012 Edit: Updated is a well known windows 7 / adobe bug which has [UR;}
So I've not long migrated from XP to 7 and I've noticed that every time I watch or stream audio my Adobe Flash Player 11 which I like to set to 50% in Volume Mixer jumps up to 75% which makes the audio playback distorted & poor sound quality.
How do I get it to stay at 50% ? Usually I do like to set volumes to 75% which is what I've got my Realtek Device set to but Adobe crackles and sounds bad at 75% so I have to set it to 50%
Specifically, this applies to the Logitech G510 keyboard, but concerns any compound HID device with media keys and USB audio.
In Windows 7 (Ultimate x64), it seems the default behavior for handling volume changes from media keys is to apply them to the default audio device. That is, unless the device sending the volume keys happens to also contain a soundcard, in which case Windows applies the volume changes to the device. On the surface this makes sense, but in practice it can be mildly annoying to some people. Consider the case with my keyboard: on most days, I have a plain old keyboard with media keys. My media keys control iTunes in the background and change my default system volume. Works great. But my keyboard has ports for a headset w/mic. When I plug in my headset my plain old keyboard is now keyboard+media keys+playback device+recording device. Now, Windows decides volume media keys originating from the keyboard should be applied to my headset volume. Bummer.
This is what I'm looking to change. I want the volume keys to continue affecting the default playback device (my headset has inline volume control). I'm hoping it's just a registry edit, but I'm willing to pick apart whatever I have to to make the change.
PS: It may be worth noting this only applies to media keys using USB scan codes. If the device happens to use the PS/2 scan codes for Mute, Vol Up, and Vol Down the changes are applied to the default playback device. This provides another alternative way of changing the behavior: if I can remap the action taken for the USB scan code to the action taken for the PS/2, it would also accomplish what I'm after.
I'm trying to stream music and video files from my desktop computer to my home cinema receiver. Let's say I choose an mp3 file to play. I go to the folder and right-click on the file, then choose Play To. Both my TV ([TV]UE55ES6805) and my receiver (DENON:[AVR-3312]) are networked with a CAT6 cable to my router appear in the options. I click to play the file on my receiver. It then says "Please wait...contacting network device". The name of my receiver appears for a split second and then it immediately says "Device is not responding" and the file will not play. The same goes for the TV. If I go to my receiver and manually choose the mp3 file the networked devices menu (media server), it will play. The same with my TV. If I open Samsung AllShare on my desktop, all files will stream to either the TV or receiver. It is only this "Play To" function that won't work. The Network Map under Network and Sharing Center shows both devices on the network.
The funny thing is, I have a laptop also running Windows 7 and this same function on that works FLAWLESSLY. So I am going to assume it is not a problem with my HI-FI equipment, my router (Netgear R6300), Windows Firewall or my Avast! Antivirus software that is running on both computers. The function doesn't work when I disable both Windows Firewall and the antivirus on the desktop computer. I really need to figure this out and make it work from my desktop computer as all the media I want to stream is there, but I cannot figure it out after reading other posts about it on the internet or troubleshooting using the directions for a similar problem over at Microsoft support. I can use AllShare, but I find the interface cumbersome and it doesn't recognise track numbers so all the songs in an album get sorted alphabetically rather than by track.
my media center remote will not change the volume of my computer anymore , also the volume buttons on my keyboard also do not work. i am fairly certain the a registry error or a service or policy error, but i am lost as how to re-enable them. the remote works fine otherwise and so does the keyboard.windows 7 x64 i5-2310 12 gig ram remote model number 1039 keyboard Microsoft wireless 6000 system is fully up to date.
