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You have an outdated version of Flash installed.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.

And, you have the Community Toolbar installed. That has to go.

Open a Finder window then select MacintoshHD in the Sidebar on the left. Then open the LIbrary folder then the Application Support folder, the Input Managers folder and the Scripting Additions folder.
Move all the files above in bold print to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari after you have re installed Flash and deleted all those files.

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

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.

               while ((n = channel.read(buffer)) >= 0)
                    byte[] b = new byte[buffer.array().length];

                         Thread.sleep(7000);
                         //just to see if the playback stops due unavailability of data.

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.

No. You cannot download or install anything to iphone, unless it is offered in the App Store on itunes.
Adobe does not make a flash player for iphone.

Small issue with media player after install of 4.5 OS

I have the BB Curve 8330 and recently upgraded the OS to the new 4.5.0.56
So before the upgrade I could be listening to tunes and when a call or email or message came in the tunes would only stop during the notification. Now however the tunes will not restart and I have to manually navigate back to the media player.
Is there a setting somewhere that I can not find or am I stuck with this now?

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.

Editing/renaming mp3 files and folders on my Zen Micro with Win Media Player

Can anyone tell me how I edit and rename the files all ready on my Zen Micro? For instance: I have 3 folders named "2Pac", "2 Pac" and "Tupac" and would like to put them all together under one name.
I also want to get rid of the album subfolders. I have changed the files in the Library, renaming files and folders, deleting all album names, but the changes don't seem to be made on the player.
I can't seem to change them directly changing folders and renaming files on the right side of the Media Player Screen either. Only option there is to delete files.
Bepppe

Thanks for the tip Baldbear, that should work.
So I guess it is no way of editing the files when they are all ready on the player.
Is it then impossible to get rid of the album subfolders? (without deleting all files an transfer them back on again. I would have done it if it weren't for the fact that the sync stops for no reason every 5th to 30th file I transfer.

No Music / Videos on Media Player After Installing...

Helpa!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
I may be able to offer something back.
After downloading Mussorsky I think you will be very happy as it will enable you to media index.
I have the Nokia Comes With Music 2 year unlimited and this kicked off my 5k song plus digital music collection and then buying my N900 for storeage. Then I found N900 / Nokia won't allow DRM files on it, oh dear! This caused me to look elsewhere for music and fill up my N900 in conjunction with using Ovi Music with my X6 CWM and Ovi Music.
In the main approx 95% the albums index fine, and I will use Ovi Music to assist between my computer and N900 for non DRM files.
Also, with CD's as you mention, I can't remember why I but I ended up using Nero and then similarly using Ovi Music between my computer and N900.
Mussorsky was the icing on the cake to brush up the odd 5% of indexing.
This has been after hours trial and error but I've got there.
Hope this may be of assistance.
