Unable to see windows media player DLNA server

Hello,
I thought it might be a result of my router. But upon further testing it appears to be an issue between the wireless portion of the router and the wired portion of the router. It does this with the old ActionTec with the Silver band as well.
Configuration:
Sony BlueRay DVD player connected wirelessly
HP laptop connected wirelessly runs XP media center
XP desktop running SP3 hard wired
ActionTec router, one of the new ones as it has the orange band and 1gB LAN ports
Observations
If the XP system and the Sony are plugged into the ActionTec, the Sony can see the media shared on the XP system.
The Sony sees the HP system and shared media without any problems. Both are wirelessly connected.
The Sony can ping the XP system.
The Sony can view the XP's webserver.
If have disabled the firewall on the XP system to no avail.
On the ActionTec under the UPnP, I have tried "Publish all WAN connections" to no avail.
What am I missing?
Thanks!

  • Windows Media Player Extension "Add-on for this website failed to run" except for Administrator

    This is on a Windows server 2008 r2. I am trying to allow users to watch help videos at a vendor site. If I remote desktop using the Administrator, I can play the videos and if I check the "manage add-ons", I see Windows Media Player as an extension.
    If I remote desktop on as a "normal user" and try to view the same video, I get the error message "An add-on for this website failed to run" and if I check the "manage add-ons", Windows Media Player extension is not there. That
    makes sense, since if it is not there, it won't run.
    Why isn't Windows Media Player extension showing up in IE 10 on the server for anyone other than Admin? How could I make this work? If I am somehow preventing this from taking place, where would I go on the server to change that?

    Hi,
    Have you try adding this video website into trusted sites zone or compatibility view list?
    Generally, improper security settings may casue failure to run some add-ons. So, please attempt to  decrease  security level for Internet Zone to check if this issue still occurs.
    How do you think your issue is related to Windows Media Player extension? Based on my knowledge, Flash player plug-in can lead to the problem. Please reinstall your flash player for the current user.
    Also, Please check in event log for more clues.

  • Windows media player with safari for windows

    Hi everyone
    just a little problem of mine...
    safari seems unable to detect windows media player. I get a message about 'content of MIME type application/x-mplayer2' when I safari tries to use media player. I tried installing the plugin on this page http://www.apple.com/safari/download/plugins.html which didn't seem to work. I don't know if this is a mistake but the file name suggests the plugin is for firefox...
    i have also tried installing quicktime and realplayer with no effect
    help appreciated; thank you in advance!

    Hi on_safari,
    I don't know if this is a mistake but the file name suggests the plugin is for firefox...
    Safari and Firefox (and other browsers) use the same interface for handling plug-ins so Safari should be able to use it nonetheless.
    I tried installing the plugin on this page http://www.apple.com/safari/download/plugins.html which didn't seem to work.
    Can you describe in more detail what you mean? What did you try and what happened? Were any error messages generated?

  • Installing Windows Media Player

    I can see Windows media Player in the Applications folder but when I try and play a video I get a message "NO MEDIA PLAYER DETECTED." Can anyone help??

    Hello,
    It sounds like your Media Player installation may be corrupted.
    Perhaps re-installing it will help.
    Drag that copy of Media Player to the trash can (and empty the trash). Then, download and install the latest version from:
    You can download the English version directly here:
    Windows Media Player 9 for Mac OS X (English Version)
    All the other languages / versions can be downloaded here:
    Windows Media Player 9 for Mac OS X website
    Microsoft is no-longer supporting Windows Media Player for the Mac. But, the version 9 does run just fine in OS X 10.4.x.
    Again, you'll want to drag any copy of Windows Media Player to the trash (and empty the trash) before you install the latest version.
    I hope this helps.

  • Windows Media Player on Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter Edition

    I have a server with Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter edition installed. This server is being used as a terminal server and I needed to have Windows Media Player installed in order to use a certain feature of a program running on the terminal server. After
    researching online I found that all I should need to do is install the Desktop Experience feature and Windows Media Player was included in that. After installing the Desktop Experience feature and restarting the server, I was not able to find Windows
    Media Player anywhere. I tried the same process on another server running Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter with the same results.
    I was curious as to if this was a Datacenter thing where it was specifically not included with Datacenter edition. I was not able to find any documentation stating that WMP was not included in Datacenter, and everything that I found stated that the feature
    sets for Standard and Datacenter were the same, it was just the licensing for them was different.
    Curious to see if it would get installed with Desktop Experience on Standard, I spun up a Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard VM and installed Desktop Experience and sure enough WMP was installed as well. I then upgraded the Standard VM to Datacenter with a
    Datacenter product key and after a restart WMP was still present.
    I have also tried this exact same process with Windows Server 2012 (non R2) Datacenter edition and WMP was installed as expected, so it appears that this is only a problem with R2.
    My question is, I this "works as designed" and I was just not able to find the documentation to support it or is this a bug?
    Update: After doing some more playing around I noticed that if I did a clean install of Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter and then installed the Desktop Experience feature and WMP does get installed. Then I remembered that on the servers that I was trying to
    install WMP on and it wasn't working were upgraded from 2012 to 2012 R2. So I created a brand new VM and installed Server 2012 Datacenter (non R2), then upgraded to Server 2012 R2 Datacenter and installed Desktop Experience and sure enough, WMP did not
    install. So now I really think it is a bug and it is related to the 2012 to 2012 R2 upgrade process.

  • 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.

  • Windows Media Player in Windows 8 Pro-64 Bit - Server Execution Failed

    I'm running Windows 8 Pro - 64bit.  I have also installed Windows Media Center add-on.
    Windows Media Player returns an error "Server Execution Failed" when attempting to load any non-music media file, such as .avi, .mp4, .wmv, etc.   These files open and play properly in the base Windows 8 "app" Video, and in Windows Media Center.
    WMP opens OK from a desktop shortcut and updates it's music libraries.  It plays all types of audio-only media files properly. 
    I have tried all the various "fixes" for various versions of Windows and WMP including removing WMP as a feature, rebooting and "re-installing" it as a feature... I've run regserv.dll, etc. all to no avail...
    I just want WMP to be the default "media" player for all standard file types...
    Anyone have any suggestions... ?
    Thanks... MTGB

    You can try the following suggestions.
    Method 1.
    1. Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services. Find the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service, stop it temporarily.
    2. Close Windows Media Player 12 if it is started.
    3. input %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Player\ to Windows Explorer to find the folder.
    4. Move all files in the folder to another place as a backup. Move files in the specific folder will reset database.
    5. Restart service and Windows Media Player to check the result. 
    Method 2. 
    1. Open command prompt with Admin.
    2. In the command prompt type the following command
         net localgroup "Administrators" "NT Authority\Local Service" /add
    3. Restart the computer to check the result.

  • Windows Media Player no sound while playing a avi file in server and client connection using TCP/IP connection

    Hello there
    I have a problem with my windows media player while using server and client connection by using TCP/IP connection. So when I play a video using Windows Media Player in LabVIew there isn't any sound come out but when I'm playing a video by a Windows Media Player only the sound will come out. Can you help me solve this problem?
    I also upload the vi as the reference.
    The username for the client is ihsanhaikalz and the password is ganteng

    Hi ican,
    I was looking at your VI's but I cannot seem to pinpoint exactly where you are using Windows Media Player.  In order to more quickly assist you, could you please recreate this issue more concisely in a smaller set of VIs.  Also, were you able to get sound when you did not use the TCP/IP connection and simply played the files in LabVIEW?
    I noticed in a few places that you were using the Play Sound File.VI from the Graphics and Sounds palette.  Is that what you are refering to?  I noticed there that the file path that you have designated for the song is simply the song title.  Instead, this should be a path to where the song is located on your computer.
    Also, if you are planning on using Windows Media Player, have you considered using the ActiveX commands for Windows Media Player?  Here are a few examples if you are unfamiliar with this functionality.
    Example 1 and Example 2.
    I hope this helps!

  • Open Window Media Player Database using Sql Server?

    I have a copy of Windows Media Player database that nolonger relates to actual files.
    I would like to be able to list the file paths stored in that database.
    I don't suppose that I could use SQL Server to do that, could I?
    Is there any other way at all to make such a list?
    Even a suggestion to try something would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance for any help at all.

  • I am getting an error saying "Your computer doesn't seem to support any version of Media Player". When I look at my list of plugins I do see that I have Window Media Player Firefox Plugin 1.0.0.8. Why am I getting this error?

    I am trying to load a page & I get the error "Your computer doesn't seem to support any version of Media Player". I then go to the tools & to add ons & to plugins. There under the plugins is Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin 1.0.0.8. It is enabled. My question is what does this error mean? Do I have the Media Player I need or not?

    Notes:
    1) Please use the code tags when posting code or JNLP/HTML. It helps to retain indentation and avoids asterisks and plus sings being interpreted as formatting marks. To do that, select the code/JNLP etc. and click the CODE button seen on the Plain Text tab of the message posting form.
    2) That launch file is invalid. You might check it (and the project in general) using JaNeLA.
    3) The only place that SimpleSerial class could be, that the JRE would find, is in the root of aeon.jar. Is it actually there?

  • Cannot view or play audio or video coded for windows media player, and do not see javascript

    I designed a website that uses a little bit of JavaScript. It displays fine in IE (9), but not in Firefox. Does anyone know why, and what the fix is?
    Also, and more importantly, I coded audio and video files with Windows media player's class id. They will not show or (obviously) play in Firefox. I downloaded and installed the plug in for Firefox, but no change. I'm sure I'm not the only one to have run across this problem, and I'm surprised that Mozilla hasn't built a fix in the 4.0 version. So, any ideas out there?
    Thanks!

    Firefox won't play the media file if there is a classid specified in the object tag. You either need to use conditional code to hide an object without classid for Firefoz from IE or use an embed for Firefox.
    <pre><nowiki><object id="(ID)" type="application/x-oleobject" classid="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6">
