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_...

  • EA4500 Windows 7 cannot index files so files not seen by Windows Media Player

    I have setup a disk on the USB port of the EA4500 and have 4 folders.  One being music.  I want to access this folder via my Wireless laptop with Windows Media Player but I only get a handful of the 3000+ songs on the disk.  A hard wired PC can access the files but not a wireless laptop.  I'm not sure where the issue is.  If I use the drive via //host/Music the Star ratings are not available but I get all music,  if I map a drive then I get star rating but only a handful of songs.  I have tried to change permission but I cannot change the file permissions on the Linksys.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You should be able to change the permissions in the router page. Are you using the Classic Firmware or the Linksys Smart Wifi? If you are using the Linksys Smart Wifi firmware, it is under USB Storage > Folder Access. If you are using the Classic Firmware, it is under Storage > Administration. The laptop should be able see all files just like the desktop.

  • Sk-2061 Keyboard Multi-media keys not working on windows media player

    I have an HP ENVY Recline 27-k150xt TouchSmart All-in-One CTO Desktop PC that came with the SK-2061 keyboard. The problem is like i said in my subject. However, I have also tried restarting the HID services and setting them to automatic which I read helped with the volume keys...that did not fix my multimedia keys. 
    All that i can do with the MM keys is when I have the player active i can press the play/pause button and then the play/pause button on the player is selected but I still have to hit the space bar to "press" the button.
    I need to be able to pause and play the media player while in a document (i'm transcribing some audio files).
    Thanks!

    Ha! Nevermind I figured it out. For anyone else who is a dingbat just hit the function key and f7...man i feel dumb

  • Apple 23" Cinema Display not supported by Windows Media Center Edition PC

    Well I'm learning the hard way and of course that is through experience. I just found out after purchasing my 23"Apple Display and talking to the Apple Support Tech is that Apple does not support the Cinema Display with PC's,
    Wish Apple would be more transparent on this issue prior to a costly purchase. For example on the Apple site listing the Display in system requirements:
    Windows PC and graphics card that supports DVI ports with full single-link digital bandwidth and VESA DDC standard for plug and play setup
    Well I have a Windows PC with a Nvidia Graphics card just as the system requirements state. Yet my PC will not adjust to proper resolution for the Apple Display. The graphics card works fine. Its a driver issue where the Apple Display is not compatible with Window Media Center Edition on Windows PC's
    So in conclusion the system requirements for Windows PC's that Apple is stating For Apple Cinema Displays is not correct. The system requirements need also to state that the Apple Cinema Display does not work with Windows Media Center Edition (MCE)
    Hope that helps for any users with Windows Media Center Edition thinking or already have purchased an Apple Cinema Display.

    Well,
    Here is the latest from Nvidia Customer Care educating users on the DVI port on the Nvidia GeForce FX 5200:
    "...The basic difference you will see in these ports are in their Physical appearance. The DVI-D has less pins compared to the DVI-I port connector. Also the Apple 23" Cinema Display will work at a resolution of 1920*1200. But this graphics card that is Geforce FX 5200 will not support this resolution of 1920*1200. It will support only till 1600*1200. So that's the reason you were having the issues were you were not able to adjust the resolution"
    So I ask, which Nvidia GPU card can I substitute for the current one at a reasonable price? I don't need dual link, so single link would be sufficient for my application . Here is some more helpful tips from Nvidia support. Hope this helps other users, utilizing the Apple 23" Cinema Display"
    "...go for a Geforce 7600 GS graphics card which is a AGP 8x compatible graphics card. This graphics card is just 129$ graphics card. Please visit the given link to know about the details of this graphics card."
    http://bfgtech.com/7600GS_512.html
    And now for the final conclusion of what you need to know regarding DVI ports. Evidently Nvidia uses a term called normal DVI port. I've never heard of that term in the literature in shopping for a graphics card and checking the specs. I guess you need to look for the specific term single or dual link specifically. If it doesn't say that, then what I can gather it is a normal DVI port...whatever the heck that is?
    "...Yes let me inform you that the Geforce FX 5200 graphics card does have one DVI port and one VGA port. But these single link and Dual link DVI port is totally different compared to the normal DVI ports. As you wanted to connect an Apple 23" Cinema Display to this graphics card. So for this you will need to have a graphics card which will have a Single link or Dual link DVI ports not the normal ports. So to support an Apple 23" Cinema Display, you will need to have either a Geforce 6 series or the Geforce 7 series graphics card. That's the reason I gave you the list of graphics card which comes with Single or Dual link DVI ports, not the normal ports."
    Oh well off to the market to pick up either a Series 6 or Series 7 Nvidia Graphics card. The Nvidia Customer Care team was very helpful and replied to my inquires very quickly through email.
    Hope this long drawn out expose helps others who might have issue with connecting their proud Apple 23' Cinema Display to their PC
    Kind Regards,

  • Video from Iphone will not open in windows media player

    I was able to import videos from my iphone 5c into windows vista, but the will not play in windows media player.
    How can I play the video?

    Rodney-- you're unclear what exactly you did. If you encoded a dvd, your computer's dvd player SHOULD play it. Unless your pc doesn't HAVE a dvd player.
    If you burned a data dvd of your fcp project, unless you have quicktime on your pc, you won't be able to play it.
    Investigate flip4mac, which allows you to export wmv files.

  • Exported media cannot be played by Windows  MEdia Player

    Hi,
    I have loaded in a CS3 project into Adobe MEdia Encoder (I would have eimported it into Adobe CS4 first but it doesn't work- it just loads the project and when it's done, nothing appears). I selected the "Sequence 1" of the project and started the Queue. When it was done, the resulting file does not play on Windows Media Player. I tried loading it into VLC but I get an error about missing a decoder "v210".
    I'd appreciate any help with this.
    Thanks!

    hi derek,
    In CS3, you can find this option by clicking "File>Export>Adobe Media Encoder". In the AME UI that comes up, you need to click on format drop down for the MPEG2DVD format. There, you can use the preset named "NTSC High Quality". since your footage is only 24 minutes long, you can increase the "bitrate" under "video" pane. Make sure that the output size does not exceed the DVD limit.
    To burn it on DVD, you can use Encore. Import the just exported file into Encore DVD project and burn it to a DVD.
    If you face any problem, Do get back to this thread.
    thanks,
    Prateek

  • Satellite A - DVD drive not seen by Windows Explorer

    THe DVD deive on D is not seen by windows explorer. It used to work but has now disappeared. The dvd hardwars starts up at boot then ceases.
    Any ideas anyone?

    Try removing the CD/DVD Filters from the Registry.
    When CD/DVD related software is installed (such as iTunes, Nero, virtual CD software), they install filters into the registry, which can cause compatibility problems.
    1) Run Regedit (Start -> Run -> Regedit)
    2) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    3) In the right pane, delete the "UpperFilters" key, and delete the "LowerFilters" key.
    4) Reboot.
    If your CD/DVD programs stop working, you will need to reinstall them (preferably with an updated version).
    This utility can remove the filters for you:

    and here is a link to the output and the window
    as you can see, you can see nothing. i tried to mess around with folder/file permissions in opt/pms like it was suggested in the comments from the aur page - didn't change anything.
    so i tried the tar.gz from the official webpage - but with the same result.
    the problem in the console output, pms not being able to bind on port, isn't even the first problem, since i can't change the port without a GUI. so i wonder how to bring it up correctly.
    i'm using arch x32 with kernel 2.6.32 and currently openjdk6 1.6.2-1
    could it be some problem with the java vm or some wrong versioning? or am i missing some other things? if anyone could come up with help and/or solution, i'd be very happy ^^;

    Although it is somewhat off-topic, I have exactly the same question.
    I asked for mencoder or ffmpeg settings in the doom9-forum and the lead x264-dev just pointed me towards pms. So I guess I'll be trying pms out (although I'm quite satisfied with mediatomb-svn, except for the HD-stuff...

  • ITunes+ Songs not playing in Windows Media Player 11

    So I got a new PC. On the previous PC i had been using windows Media player and playing songs purchased in iTunes+ in WMP.
    So I transferred all my songs to an external HD. Then on my new PC I pointed the folder in WMP to the external HD and it imported all my music, except for my iTunes+ songs.
    I have also purchased 2 new iTunes+ songs and they will not import into WMP or play in WMP.
    What do I need to do?

    Is it possible the problem is that on the previous pc I was running Windows 7 and on the new PC I'm running Vista Premium?

  • Why does my Encore DVD not play in Windows Media Player v.11

    My DVD's play properly in players and from various other DVD Software but not Windows Media Player v.11.  Most people I give my DVD's to view them on business computers, that only have WMP on them.  Is there a way to build an Encore DVD that will allow them to play in WMP?

    You can always build a Flash "DVD". Other than that you may be looking in the wrong place. Microsoft has neatly avoided any MPEG-2/DVD licensing and merely uses the respective libraries of otehr DVD software on your system, so when no such thing is installed, it never works.
