Win 8.1 media player

does win 8.1 media player 12 have an equalizer in the audio area?

Hi,
Based on my research, WMP doesn't have build in equalizer, but you can download WMP skin, most of them contains equalizer.

Firefox 6.0 w/ win media player plugin 1.0.0.8 enabled ALWAYS asks if I want to open a .wmv file with Win Media Player.

Firefox 6.0 would not open .wmv files, so I downloaded and installed M/S windows media player firefox plugin, ver 1.0.0.8.
I have checked using the plugin mgr that it is installed and enabled, but firefox still will not open .wmv files - It still brings up a window asking if I want to use Win Media Player to open the file.

You have an outdated version of Flash installed.
Uninstall the current copy of Flash then reinstall, instructions here.

Windows Media Player 12 under Win 7 Pro 64 nolonger able to play DVD

Hello TechNet
"Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with digital copy protection between your DVD drive, decoder, and video card. Try installing an updated driver for your video card."
It seems that I have recently joined the chorus of MS users who have a Media Player DRM issue, where DVD's that would work perfectly well in WMP12 and MCE are nolonger being recognised. The error message above is displayed now, every time a commercial DVD
movie is inserted into the DVD drive where WIN 7 Pro 64 autoplay is used to open WMP12, The instruction to update video drivers is also not the solution.
Considering that I have until recently, been able to play DVD with my current NVIDIA driver 314.22Whql (now updated to 332.21Whql) and my DVD drive remains exactly as before, the Codec's installed with Win7 Pro 64 WMP 12 are unchanged and were working
fine. I do not know now what has caused the removal of DRM or the suggestion that my MPEG2 codecs can nolonger allow access to commercial DVD content.
I have tried all the suggestions raised about this issue from other MS users and MPV's in the forum, I have renamed the DRM folder and reset Windows Media DRM as directed. I have checked for a suitable MPEG2 codec/decoder on my system of which I have
several choices, including the one installed with Win 7 Pro 64 / WMP 12.
I have checked to see if I have a region issue with my DVD drive, and can confirm that the DVD drive will play DVD content when Playing DVD with "NERO 9 Showtime", this proves to me that the codec/DVD decoder is working in
my system, I then try Win 7s MCE (Media Center) and WMP12, the result is a black unresponsive screen in MCE, and the error message noted above in WMP with a black screen in the player.
I would like to know if MS are working on a rectification for the issue, as none of the proposed solutions deliver any functionality back to MS default DVD players. Is there an update in the works to provide a definitive solution for WMP12 and MCE DVD functionality.
Could you provide any new ideas, other than those already proposed to regain DVD function under MS default DVD programs.
Cheers Jeff

Hi Sengupta,
Yes I have already tried - Reset DRM using the method described in a post by another MS MPV here in the forum.
This is the method I used :
1. First open My Computer go to Tools>FolderOptions>View> uncheck >Hide Protected Operating System Files >
so that I can see the DRM folder and its contents.
2. Go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DRM >Delete the contents of the DRM folder, these hidden files and the Cache folder with its contents. (Cache,
blackbox.bin, drmstore.hds, IndivBox.key,
IndivBox_64.key, v2ksndv.bla, v3ks.bla,
v3ks.sec) DRM folder empty ready for DRM Reset via web link.
3. Go to start menu Find InternetExplorer > right Click icon select > Run as Administrator > Blank Web page opens > I then paste the link provided (http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/Indivsite/en/indivit.asp)
into the Url space > click Enter > a web page for Windows Media Technologies (Security Component Upgrade) opens.
4. I then click on the 'Upgrade Button' and wait for it to search for upgrade components (Progress Status: Upgrading security components.... ), A download dialog then appears asking me to proceed. I then click 'Upgrade' and wait for it to
finish downloading & installation
(Progress Bar). . The install then completes saying the upgrade was successful I then click 'Done' close Browser and restart Computer.
5. I then recheck inside the DRM folder that I had erased - the new downloaded files and Cache Folder with contents are all back inside the folder, as expected.
6. Upon restart I place a DVD that I know was working before into the DVD drive and wait, the DVD autostarts WMP12 with the onscreen DVD Disk navigation menu appearing. I then click 'Play' with in the menu option, to begin the
Movie.
7. The resulting error reappears when clicking Play
"Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with digital copy protection between your DVD drive, decoder,
and video card. Try installing an updated driver for your video card."
I will try once more to Reset the DRM using the Tool you have linked to, and follow your instruction exactly. Will see how it goes! ............stay tuned
It would be much appreciated If you could research which MS update has broken DRM, the recent updates which I can think of right now would be :
nVidia - Graphics Adapter WDDM1.1, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.2, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.3, Other hardware - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 275
now replaced by Nvidia v332.21Whql Drivers.
Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 for x64-based Systems
Possibly,
Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 7 64bit ( which I have had to remove, rolling back to IE10 to allow use in another Forum without errors and glitches). something about IE11 Browser is not right, maybe a security component from IE11
has interfered with DRM (Just guessing though)
But I think it is more than likely a security update that was downloaded and installed at the same time as these other major Microsoft Update offerings.

MP3 plays fine in Win Media Player, but won't import in iTunes

I have this MP3 file in a folder on my hard drive. It plays fine in Win Media Player.
If I "Add the Folder to Library" all other MP3 files in the folder come though fine but this one is left behind.
If I use "Add File to Library" there is just a screen "flicker" but the file is not added.
What could cause this? and how do I get the file into iTunes?
TIA
Gert
Windows XP SP2

Are you certain that the files in question are in fact MP3 files and not some other format?
iTunes can play plain old MP3 files, but it cannot play proprietary schemes with digital rights management built in, and it cannot play WMA files.

E3000 Media Server not seen by Windows Media Player (v 12.0) on Win 7

I've enabled the Media Server on my E3000 router. My PS3 can see the server and play media from it by my PCs can't!
I'm using Windows Media Player v 12.0 on Windows 7 and some older version on Windows XP and it's my understanding that the Media Server should appear under the "Other Libraries" section but it does not.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a bug in the E3000 firmware (I have the latest as of this date) or is the Media Server simply not compatible with Windows Media Player?
If it's an incompatibility issue, can someone please point me to a compatible media player for Windows 7?
I did read a post about a firmware upgrade on the 4200 that broke the media player, but I don't know if such a problem exists for the E3000.
Thank you,
Martin.

This is what you can try in getting the Computer to see the media server on the E3000:
(Obviously make sure you have the media server enabled on the router and at least one folder shared....and make sure you have scanned the folder(s))
1) Turn your computer on.
2) Disconnect your external usb drive.
3) Pull the power on the E3000.
4) Connect the external usb drive.
5) Plug the power back into the E3000.
Then see if that works or not.
If the issue still persist then here is the link which may help you: http://h10010.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01832417&tmp_track_link=ot_recdoc/c00859236/en_...

HMC150 Footage ok in PProCS4, but grey when viewing via Win Media Player

I just purchased an HMC150 and really like it and I am recording in 1080P 24 and pulling it into a 1080P/24 timeline. I can edit and view the media no problem in Premiere with full color, but if I play the original raw AVCHD original files through Windows Media Player the video is Grey and if I export them from PPro to MPeg2 they are also grey...anybody have any ideas why this would be or how to correct it?

Good question, sorry I should have included all of that information.
I am running on an HPZ800 dual quad core with 36GB of RAM using PPRo CS4 (latest version) on Windows 64 bit. I am not exactly sure which codec is going to be used in this case because I believe that there are 3 possible ones that could be used. It appears that PPro is using it's own AVCHD codec which is probably why it works fine. Windows 7 natively recognizes AVCHD, but I have two utilities installed on my system to download content from my cameras that may have also installed Codec's. The first is one from Canon that comes with their camera's (in this case the HV30, that downloads AVCHD also), and the 2nd is the AVCCam application that comes with the Panasonic HMC150 to download content from that camera. The AVCHD files from my Canon play just fine through Windows Media Player or Premiere Pro, but the HMC150 files only play in full color in Premiere Pro, not through Windows Media Player. I agree it might be codec related, but not exactly sure the best way to track down the problem. Thanks in advance for the help.

BB Link not linking to Win Media Player or iTunes

Out of the blue, my BB Link will not show my music library in iTunes or Windows Media Player.
I'm using version 1.0.0.76 and have even reinstalled BB Link.
I tried with WMP and iTunes closed and open.
It worked a few days ago now I'm having no luck - very unusual.
I'm trying to sync my Z10 and Playbook.
HELP!!! I'm tired of having problems with BB!!!

Hey cdawaters,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Do you get any specific errors when you try to synchronize the media? Also are you using a PC or Mac?
Also have you tried uninstalling BlackBerry Link and re-installing it?
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.
