Toshiba media player

Am I alone in not being able to turn off/exit/quit Toshiba Media Player? I played a song and since that time, the media player icon shows up in my app tray at the bottom right of the home screen. I have the song paused, but every time I receive an email, the song starts playing. I have tried Advanced App Killer to no avail. Thanks.

Hi,
I use MixZing. I have a 64 gb sdram card loaded full with music and it doesn't falter. I've been playing songs in shuffle mode from the entire 9,000+ song list with no hesitation (All of the music is organized in albums). I don't know about DLNA and don't see mention on the site, but they have an easy to use contact form. My Excite is an A305-32

Toshiba Media Player Task Bar not working

All of a sudden, the taskbar in toshiba media player wont work.

I can use the keyboard to use shortcuts (eg L key to skip) and that works, but the task bar wont when clicked on with the mouse.
It was fine one day and DVD and not the next, I've tried a few DVDS and rebooting the program/computer.
I'm not very tech saavy so that all I got.

Advice on how to make Windows Media Player play DVD's not the Tosh player

I do not want to use the pre-installed Toshiba Media Player to play DVD's, I want to use the installed Windows Media Player. I cannot change the default DVD player to WMP in Control Panel as the only options are either Toshiba's or Nero's player.
WMP can play CD's, MP3's etc but cannot even read any DVD in the drive. Anyone got any advice on how to do change this?
It;s a Toshiba Satellite Pro C850 with Windows 8 installed

The free KLite Codec pack which equips the OS including Media Player for DVD decoding, thus all your currently and even most future installed players. http://codecguide.com/
It comes in varying sizes but even the smallest version enables WMP for DVD's
After installing KLite, you right click the DVD drive within Windows and select the "Open With" or "Play Disc" menu option and select Windows Media Player.
You can also just use the Windows Run Box / Search box and enter
dvdplay
which activates windows Media Player DVD menus.
Microsoft hasn't always included DVD playback in Windows and then started offered it as a fee based upgrade for XP and Vista, before finally including DVD playback in Windows 7 in what some Microsoft insiders said was an apology for Vista before removing it again in Windows 8.

Adobe Flash Player and Toshiba Media Controller Plug-In Problem

Hello,
Every time I try to upload photos , I get this error:
The adobe flash player installed on your PC is not supported by toshiba media controller plug-in. Toshiba media controller plug-in failed to start. I have tried reinstalling Adobe as well as the media controller plug-in, and I still get this error. Can someone help?

I get that message when trying to watch the Olympics on Television fantastics London Games app. The media controller is in the latest laptops so I thought it was a program. Guess not. I can't find one for sale on my comp. Does anyone know where I should go?

Toshiba Express Media Player recovery

I replaced my 100GB HDD (Toshiba manufactured, which included Toshiba Express Media Player by factory default) with 320 GB HDD (Toshiba). I want to install Toshiba EMP.
When I boot from EMP recovery disc received this message:
Recovery is not supported on this system. Press any keys to exit. (my OS Windows 7 x64 Ultimate)
Also I receive this message on old HDD. Also OS Windows 7 x64 Ultimate & Windows XP Professional x86.
When I install different operating systems (Red Hat, Debian) on my old HDD Toshiba EMP working & not removed although I deleted partitions & etc.
I updated my BIOS version from 3.00 to 5.60 for install Windows 7 few years ago.
Maybe BIOS hinder?

Ok. Long time ago I had Satellite M70 with the same option to install Toshiba Express Media Player.
It was delivered with two recovery discs.
By the way on Toshiba support page in knowledge base I found only one document related to this player - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/FAQ5C018T000FR01.htm
But I think it will not help you much.
As I already wrote this package was designed for WXP at this time and I never tested it with Win7.
It is nice that you want to use and mix old and new stuff but if this will not work there is nothing to do about that.
As far as I know the whole thing has nothing to do with BIOS and you should be happy that Win7 works perfectly on this old piece of hardware.
Anyway, lets see if anyone else has better experiences with all this.

Strange Problem with Toshiba Express Media Player on Satellite M115-S3094

I'm experiencing a strange problem in my Toshiba M115-S3094, which was pre-installed with Windows XP Media Center edition and which also had the Toshiba Express Media Player.
I had previously done a clean Vista installation on it, and then I decided to revert back to XP with my recovery DVD. I did the same procedures of first installing Express Media Player from Backup (which I made when i purchased the laptop) and then installing XP from Windows XP recovery DVD from Toshiba.
The steps included:
1- Deleted partitions from Express media player recovery disk
2- Installed express media player
3- Recovered Xp from Recovery DVD, by selecting "Recover without changing Partitions" (there is no expert mode)
Everything went very well (i.e. the installation)......But now after shutting down my laptop as I press the Express Media Center button, the "Express Media Player" logo appears on the screen after loading for 5 seconds laptop shutdowns,
I tried to open it again and again but the logo appears for 5 seconds and then my laptop shutdown....
Laptop works fine when I logon to windows by pressing power button.
Can anyone help on this strange issue..?

Hi Jaba
Thnx for reply.
Now i would answer the questions asked by you and try to clear you confusion,
Yes, Express Media Player was previously installed on my machine, and I have used it, it was perfectly working.
About installation of Media Player, The whole story is that, firstly i wasnt known about how to make a Toshiba express media player recovery cd through windows, so downloaded an ISO of the media player from a forum and install media player by first deleting partitions.
After that I can again installed xp through recovery dvd and choose the option "out of box" state and then selected "install without changing partitions"
After a successfull recovery, I shutdown my pc and pressed the media player button, the media player logo appeared for 5 seconds and then my laptop shutsdown, this is happening all the time when i start my laptop by the Express media player button.
After this I read somewhere how to create a backup recovery cd for Express media player, So i run the recovery disk creater and made a backup of Toshiba Express media player.
After doing the above procedure I again formated my hard drive through recovery dvd and selecting the option "Delete partitions and overwrite sectors". When this was finished, i booted my laptop with the newly made recovery cd for express player, after selecting English as my language, This it what said:
"Installation Error" An error occured due to wrong system ID or unsufficient space on hard drive, press escape to quit.
THE ABOVE IS THE WHOLE PROCESS IN COMPLETE DETAIL.
AND JAMA,
About the link you provided, it says that on the Recovery dvd select the option for "Expert Mode", but in my recovery dvd (for Toshiba M115- S3094) there is no such option as expert mode, there are only two options
1- Restore laptop to "out of box" state
2- Format Hard Drive

"NOT RESPONDING" message whenever I start using my Windows Media Player

I don't know what it is that causes this - if it's something to do with having the lesser expensive Hewlett-Packard computers, but this is the 2nd HP laptop I've had and the one thing I've had in common w/both of them is that, one, I got them for under $500 - about $445 or so, w/tax...anyway, I suppose that the more expensive HPs are better and wouldn't have petty problems like this - but anyway, - the last one I had & this one I currently have - the last one was a Windows 7 and this one is Windows 8, so the O/S has nothing to do w/my problem. Anyway, it's like this: every time I turn on the PC, then get it all revved up & ready to go, etc. when I turn on my Windows Media Player (WMP) the thing comes up on screen and it sometimes takes a few seconds, since I have about 740 CDs worth of music on here, but anyway, once the CDs show up on the WMP album page (where they're put up in alpha. order of LP name, as opposed to artist names, etc) - and so, when I go from the "A"s downward, just paging through it, looking for something to listen to, for instance, it ALWAYS, inevitably, without fail, gets stuck, sometimes sooner, sometimes later, but usually by the time I get to the Cs or Ds, the thing gets stuck and freezes up on me and I can't do anything w/it. Then, when I try to click the mouse a couple times or whatever, I get a message at the top of the WMP box - on the top of the box it reads "Windows Media Player", like usual, but when it freezes up like this and it stays stuck for anywhere from 10 seconds up to a minute sometimes, the message that pops up right next to the "WMP" label on the blue border reads "NOT RESPONDING". 99% of the time, it just takes a little patience and sometimes just clicking the mouse buttons a few times and/or hitting a few keys on the keyboard (not hard, just randomly pressing down on some) - then it will finally come back & unfreeze and I'm usually able to continue browsing through my catalog, but there has been other times when it seems to be in worse shape - it'll read "NOT RESPONDING" for a while and no matter how much I click the left or right mouse buttons, tap the mouse on the pad, or whatever, it might come unstuck for a few seconds, then, I think I'm OK again, but sometimes, as soon as it looks unstuck, I can't get it to move at all and right away the "NOT RESPONDING" message comes right back up (and the page fades a little too) - in fact, lately, just before I did a refresh thing on my PC to try & get things to work better, it was giving me big trouble, it would just sit there, stuck, frozen up and nothing I did would unfreeze it. I'd be frantically trying to unstick it, but no matter what I did, it'd still be frozen and when it does that, I can't get it to do anything. Recently, when it would do this, sometimes, if I had not tried to get too far down in the alphabet, I can get a certain album open and get it to start playing, but the "NOT RESPONDING" message will pop up now and again, but the music will play all right, uninterrupted.
Anyway, this is very annoying. It's been happening for so long now, that I basically take it for granted that it's going to freeze up on me when I 1st bring it up. I have no idea what's causing this to happen; like I said, this happened when I had a previous HP laptop that was working with Windows 7.
Kind of a long-winded way of putting this issue to anyone, but I just wanted to be clear and specific.
Is there ANYONE out there who owns a cheapo HP? (not a Compaq, the computer co. HP bought for that purpose, to make their cheap computers and differentiate them from the HPs) - But I wonder, it's been so long since I've even checked -does Compaq even exist anymore as a separate entity from parent co. HP? If not, then that explains why there's a difference between HP laptops that are $400 or so (at Best Buy) and the more slick, expensive HP laptops that have all the bells & whistles and usually run over $1000. Of course, I'm not about to shell out twice as much money to buy an HP just to see if the more expensive ones don't behave the way their cheap models do. I also had a Toshiba I bought about 3-4 years ago and I had even more problems with that - one instance was when the CD drive went out on me and I had to ship it in to HP (still under warranty, thank heavens) and they put a new drive in and shipped it back to me. It also crashed one time, and got infected with a virus or two or three, which meant I had to re-set the computer back to the original factory settings and, not having an external hard-drive with which to back up all my music, pix, documents, etc (my music is the most important stuff on my computer to me), which meant that I had to go through this long hassle of replacing all the music I'd lost. I have a lot of my own hard copies of CDs, but there were so many more CDs that I didn't have copies of, so I had to visit the library over & over, checking out as many as 25-30 CDs at a time on a lucky day, when the library had a lot of the CDs I needed to replace in my WMP. I don't want this to happen again, so I am going to get an external hardrive but I still don't know for sure if that would work. At least, by resetting the PC to factory settings I was able to get rid of the virus(es) that were screwing my computer up badly
So - has anyone out there had any similar problems? If so, I would appreciate any help or suggestions you may have as to how to deal with this sort of thing.
Thanks a lot. Hope to hear from one of you out there in the future.
Have a nice 4th...

Satellite A210 - How to use muldimedia buttons with other than Media Player

Hi,
is it really not possible to use the Multimedia Buttons (Play, Pause, FF) on the top of my notebook for another application than the Windows Media Player?
Is there any reason for this? I would like to control Winamp with this buttons.
It seems quite sensless to restrict the acces to ONE application of HUNDREDS available, an then this one is the Media Player which is not used by the most people.
I have the Satellite A210 Notbook.
Can you tell my how to control my winamp with this buttons?
Greetings from Robert

Hello Robert
Unfortunately there is no solution at the moment. If you check this forum you can find several very interesting threads about multimedia buttons and Winamp player. The fact is that some people have found solution for older notebook models running WXP. Winamp has offered plugin that must be installed.
Now we have new situation. Your notebook runs newest Vista OS and I didnt find any plugin that can help. Problem is that your notebook is designed for Windows Vista and preinstalled OS contains all necessary plugins for running Windows media player as a part of preinstalled operating system.
It is no kind of restriction. With preinstalled OS you can do what you want and if you can find a way to change it do this. You know very well that there are hundreds of different players on the market. You cannot expect that Toshiba take a time and create a plugins for all of them and satisfy the customers all over the world.

What product do you have that can help me download a sermon from a church website. I want to be able to play the video on a cd with the media player. I don't have Internet at home.

I have a Toshiba Computer from 2007. It has Vista, Window Media Player and Center. The website is www.saddleback.com. The following is a sample sermon weblink I would like to download and save to a CD to play on the Windows Media Play or Center.

NEW Satellite A505 - Blu-ray won't play on WinDVD or Toshiba DVD player

I purchased a Satellite A505 (Windows 7) with a Blu-ray disc player that was pre-loaded with WinDVD, Toshiba DVD player, and one other player (?) - all this software was added 12/21/2009 (by the manufacturer). When I put in a Blu-ray disc WinDVD stops responding and I have to start the task manager to "end task." The Toshiba player says "media not supported." I used the recommended compatibility settings (Windows XP) and it says "incompatible application." I tried using a Sony Vaio w/ Blu-ray and had no problems with the same disc using WinDVD. I don't know what's wrong (and I'm not super tech savvy) - my settings, my drivers, my hardware... ???
I also downloaded the free trial of Corel's WinDVD 2010 and it wouldn't play on that either...
*Note - my model number is A505-S6012 but I can't find this as an existing model on any of the Toshiba sites. It was delivered to the store around 1/4/10, so it's brand new. The A505-S6990 has most of the same features though.

jacuielaura,
I had the exact same issue with the Win DVD BD that was preloaded on my A505-S6014 when I purchased it. I myself also downloaded the Win DVD 2010 free trial and it did not work. Reason being is that they are only allowing people to trial the DVD version of Win DVD 2010 and not the Win DVD BD 2010. I also tried Cyberlink's PowerDVD and it worked but it digitized terribly. So I uninstalled both trials and went to support.toshiba.com and found what I needed to fix it.
I recommend you uninstall the original Win DVD BD version you have and any trial editions you downloaded and follow what I have listed below to fix your problem.
This is only a recommendation. Uninstall and install software at your own risk. If this fix doesn't work for you then you will have to call Toshiba and request a disc to reinstall your original software you uninstalled.
This is how I fixed mine:
Go to Support > Download > then choose your category (Laptop) then your Family (Satellite) then you're model #(A505-6012). Or you can just enter S6012 in the search box and it should bring up a list of all Laptop models with S6012 in them. Choose yours and click Go.
Now from the two drop down lists choose which Operating system: (Windows 7 64 bit) should be what you have, then choose Blu-Ray in the 2nd drop down list.
Download and SAVE these files to your desktop or My Downloads folder so you do not have to search for them again after you reboot.
You should now see this listed:
WinDVD BD for Toshiba for Windows 7 (32/64)(v8.0; 11-05-2009; 176.1M)
Also you will need to download the (Intel Management Engine Interface driver) which is listed in the drop down list under Utility (2nd page):
Intel Management Engine Interface for Windows XP/7 (32/64)(v6.0.0.1184; 10-08-2009; 6.39M)
Reboot after each installation even if it doesnt tell you to.
After both downloads have been installed and the OS is completely loaded again, insert a Blu-Ray disc and hopefully it should automatically play.
P.S. When playing Blu-Ray's I turn my power management to Performance. This may also help.
Good luck!

Issues with Windows Media Player 10.0

I authered a DVD-R project for a client using DVDSP 3. The check disc plays fine on both Windows XP and of course Mac machines. It was tested in machines running WindDVD2000, PowerDVD, RealPlayer 10.5, Windows Media Player 8 and of course the Macs, and all worked just fine. However, on a Toshiba Laptop running Windows Media Player 10.0, the buttons failed to function when clicked. Does anyone have any experience with this issue, or do you think it's a simple DVD-R versus DVD+R issue?
Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks for your time.

So, lets be clear, it runs fine on WinDVD2000, PowerDVD, RealPlayer, Windows Media Player 8, Macs and stand-alone players, but it does not play on one computer using Windows Media Player 10. Therefore you think that there is something wrong with the disc?!?!?!
No.
Its obvious that there is something wrong with that computer. Make sure it has the latest Service Packs and other such files. See if it can play other DVDs. But otherwise focus your attention on what that computer is doing wrong.

Media player hotkeys doesn't work with Windows Media Player 11

Hi;
I upgraded my windows media player 10 to 11 version. Now my hotkeys doesn't work. I was wondering if there is a way to solve this problem.

Hi
Do you mean the Toshiba Control buttons which control the WMP function like play, pause, stop, etc
On some Toshiba notebooks the Toshiba control buttons can be configured manually.
Please check this in the control panel -> Toshiba controls.
If you will be not successful I would recommend reinstalling the Toshiba utility again

Satellite C50-A-15L: unable to play music or video files via media player

Hi all
I am having problems with my media player and explorer functions all of a sudden - it seems to have occured after a recent 'important update' (always causes more issues than fixes).
Anyway, since this update, I have been unable to play any music or video files via the media player or cut and paste any items when sorting files out.
All fine previously, but now when I highlight and click 'cut', the timer cuts in and the window goes straight to 'not responding'. Drag and drop works OK, then going back to delete files.
As for media files, double click one and no response, right click and 'open', again, nothing...
Anyone else experienced similar problems?
Of know of a fix or patch?
Many thanks
Matt

From my point of few you have no problems with notebook but with Microsoft system.
"Hotmail" isnt Toshiba product.
If you have problems login the Hotmail account, you should contact the Microsoft support for help.
By the way: you can always set the system back to early time point before you received any updates.
Windows 8 creates a restore point for you automatically during Windows Updates and other system maintenance events.
Open charm bar (Win key + c), choose Apps and search for Restore Point. Then click on Settings. On the left hand side you will see the option called Create a restore point.
New window would open. Within the System Protection tab choose System restore.
Clicking on Next would lead to next step where you could restore the computer to the sate it was before the selected event (windows update).
