Windows media player error

I have been trying to burn an audio cd. I start the program and it prepares my disc and burns about 5 tracks out of 20 then it stops and finalizes my disc and says the tracks are complete. then a dialog box pops up and says the process was unable to burn
my cd because the burner is busy or needs to have a software update. I checked the update status and it says it's up to date. I tried burning at a slower rate bur the same problem persists. I also uninstalled and reinstalled and the same problem persists.
media play plays any type of cd with no problem.
Windows Media Player could not complete burning because the disc is not compatible with your drive. Try inserting a different kind of recordable media or use a disc that supports a write speed that is compatible with your drive.
this also pops up from time to time. is there any solution.

Hi,
This error message usually caused by incompatible between DISC with CD drive. Maybe the speed of Disc was too high, please try to use other type of disc for test.

Windows Media Player Error; Troubleshooting Error

Question #1
When I try to play music in windows Media Player I get the following message:
Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There might not be a sound device installed on your computer, it might be in use by another program, or it might not be functioning properly.
The sound was working about a week ago, and I do have IDT High Definition Audio CODEC driver on my laptop.
Question @2
When I run any Troubleshooting program I get the following error code:
Pkg ID: AudioPlaybackDiagnostics (This varies depending on what I'm troubleshooting)
Path: Unknown (This varies)
Error Code: 0x8E5E0247 (This error code is always the same)
Source: Engine
User: Leyna-PC\Leyna
Context: Elevated (This is usually restricted)

Hi Mike,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp63501-64000/sp63555.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When done, download and reinstall the Chipset driver on the link below.
Chipset Driver - Windows 8.1
When complete, shut down the notebook by holding down the Shift key as you click Shutdown to temporrily prevent a hybrid boot.
Start the notebook and let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - restart the notebook and try playing the mp3 file.

Windows Media Player error message

On Saturday mornings for the last couple of years, I have tuned in via the internet to a radio station and particular program using the radio station's website and clicking on their link for my connection speed (cable). The Windows Media Player opens up and the broadcast begins. The past two weeks, when the Player window opens, I now get a message that says "The host is unreachable." I restarted my computer; same message. I've seen reference on some websites that it is a router problem. So I reset the router; still doesn't work. I reinstalled Media Player 9; same message. I'm baffled as to why this is happening all of a sudden. Can anyone help direct me? The router is Netgear and is about three years old. Thanks.

I have no problem doing so. You don't need Windows Media Player. Make sure you have Flip4Mac WMV installed:

Error Message on Windows Media Player 'ONE OR MORE ARGUEMENTS NOT ALLOWED'

THIS FEELS LIKE THE COMMERICAL ...
I'm trying to use Windows Media Player on my Mac Intel -- brand new.
I keep getting this error message -- no kidding!
"One or more arguements, not allowed"
Intel Mac Mini 1.66Mhz Mac OS X (10.4.9) 2gb RAM Installed

WMP for Mac has been discontinued and is not written for Intel Macs.
Instead you should use the free Flip4Mac QuickTime WM plugin available free from Flip4Mac.com
If you choose to stick with WMP, you'll get better response if you use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.mac.office> rather than an Apple forum.
Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered. You'll get your answer faster this way. Post your question in the forum if you don't find anything that helps you.

Error with Windows Media Player ActiveX control

When I try to drop in a Windows Media Player control I get an error:
"Error loading type library/DLL"
Any ideas?

If upgrading is out of question. Like a budget stopping it. You could try to this http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=8002 That will allow you to run XP inside windows 7. It is also other media players like VLC and Apple quick time that have ActiveX controllers. I have tested the Quicktime version and it is quite good.
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted

HP Pavilion dm4 - Windows 7, 64-bit. Error message: Windows Media Player won't play my DVD

Here is the actual error message. The video card has an updated driver. I can't figure out how to resolve this -
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.

Hi,
First of all, if you've recently installed any virtual drive software ( an exmple of this is Daemon Tools ), temporarily uninstall it, restart the notebook and see if this has corrected the error.
If the above doesn't apply, try downloading and installing the free KLite codec pack on the following link.
http://www.filehippo.com/download_klite_codec_pack/
When the installation has completed, restart the notebook and check again.
Let me know.

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?

Script Error report when trying to "Find Album Info" for music in Windows Media Player

When I click on "Find Album Info" in Windows Media Player, it finds the correct media info. But when I click "Finish" after verifying everything is correct, it says "An error has occurred on this script page" and asks if I want to continue. I click
yes, it goes back to the last page of finding album info, I again click "Finish" to find the same "Script error" page?

Sir, that means the Windows Firewall Blocked the Script So try these steps hope it works for you :
1.) - Open the "Start Menu".
2.) - Go to the "Control Panel".
3.) - Double click "Security Center".
4.) - Click "Windows Firewall" in the top left.
5.) - Click "Change settings".
6.) - Click "Continue".
7.) - Click the "Exceptions" tab.
8.) - Scroll down and check all of the "Windows Media Player" options.

Starz PLAY "Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing this file" error!?!

My laptop running Windows 7 is having the error, " Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file." when trying to play downloaded movies whereas the "live Starz TV" works fine. My netbook is working properly though, anyone seen this before?

- if you're still having the issue, make sure you are running all the latest video/audio codec's for windows media player and win 7 and also take a moment to check this article from microsoft.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/10/errors.aspx
if you find an answer let us know what fixed it!

Windows Media player can't find device/ error number C00D1179 - F

This is a fix for the error where windows recognizes and installs the Creative Zen Micro running the version 2.X firmware (or any other MTP device) but neither windows media or creative's software can see it.
How I got this error to begin with...
I had to replace my zen micro because of a headphone jack problem that seems to be very common. It still amazes me that a company that obviously invested tons of money into developing a device like this would let something as stupid as a poorly designed headphone jack ruin it... When I tried to sync my new zen micro I exchanged for at the store, it recognized the initial device firmware. I upgraded to the 2.X firmware and it worked until the device rebooted with the new firmare. At this point, the firmware program couldn't see it even though windows had given me the whole "New Hardware Found" thing and asked me if i wanted to sync with WMP. No other programs could find it either. I tried numerous things to get it to work, but here is what finally worked. This may not fix all the issues of this type but I suspect it will fix most of them.
As this problem is Microsoft's and not Creatives, any device running PlaysForSure (I think "plays if your really lucky" is a better name) I looked at other device forums. I found this post that got me looking in the right place.
http://www.misticri'ver.net/boards/archi've/index.php/t-3598.html
Step six said to look at the following registry entry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum
This made me look more carefully and realize that I had four Creative Zen Micro entries, confusing my computer into not syncing. The solution is below:
***WARNING- EDITING THE REGISTRY CAN REALLY SCREW UP YOUR COMPUTER!! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
. Unplug the device
2. Open Regedit by Start -> run, regedit
3. Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\U SB
4. You will see a bunch of folders with incoherent letters and numbers. Expand these once to see another unreadable folder. When you click on this, you'll see a FriendlyName field on the right side. If it says Creative Zen Micro or whatever your device is, delete the higher level incoherent folder, it should start with VID.
5. Plug your device back in and let it reinstall
6. Hopefully it will say docked when you open windows media player
This may not fix all problems of this nature. If it doesn't, look at the link in the earlier part of this post.
BTW, Creative support, we aren't all idiots who don't realize that we don't have WMP0 installed. If we tell you it worked before and stopped working now, and also included a microsoft debug file clearly showing that there is something very strange going on, don't send us a stupid thing to check like whether WMP0 is installed and make us wait 24 hours for the next useless response.

Interesting. Thanks for the information!

Bug & Conflict w/ Palm Destop 6 & Windows Media Player

I am a long time Palm user but my T2 was not getting much use considering I was already carrying Two cell phones. But I was excited to get an upgrade to a Centro for one of my phones. Now I am dealing with the differences between PalmDesktop4 (PD4) and PD6 on Windows XP SP3.
I found what appears to be a critical bug in the installation of PD6 in that it has some very undesirable interactions with Windows Media Player (WMP) 10 & 11. Let me preface by saying that I am not using WMP or PocketTunes for any syncing or transferring any media to my Centro. My Centro is only used for calendar, contacts, calculators, and Docs2Go.
I have installed PD6 and the PD6 user data to a removable drive for personal privacy on a work computer. The error is that when ever the drive is not mounted and wmplayer.exe is started, Windows searches for the Palm Access Installation package on my removable drive and attempts to start a installation of PD6. Of course it does not find the .msi and the only thing that happens is my computer locks up till I close WMP and then the ACCESS installer goes away. If the removable drive is mounted with the PD6 application directory and the PD6 user data, WMP loads quickly and appears to work fine.
Why is WMP trying to connect to applications or support files in the PD6 application directory?
I can only assume that the new PD6 media tab now is hooked into some windows media services. PD6 must be registered as a client/helper app to windows media and WMP is trying to load or locate the registered resources.
The big problem with this is that my user data path gets over written with PD6 installation defaults in the Windows Registry and I have to manually reset all the PalmDesktop registry data to point PD6 at my really user path on the V: drive.
This should not be installed this way. The association between the two applications appears to be an error in the ACCESS installation package for PD6.
I used Palm.com “Chat” support four or five time for some very basic support in getting my new Centro setup. The Palm.com “Chat” support was great. For this issue they were absolutely useless. One support person affirmed that I should be able to use the removable drive, the next just had me do reinstalls for PD6 (that I had already done) and then told me I would have to use the defaults for C:\Program Files and D:\Documents and Settings\username... They recommended that I use the Palm.com phone support number.
I did this and it had to be one of the worse support calls I have made in a while (case number 1-51474282949). Why is it impossible to get any computer software or hardware company to support the desktop software they putout? I got the same tech support baby talk about “reinstalling the application”, “use the default installation path”, “its not our application” and “you will have to contact Microsoft for support on your operating system”. Ahhhhh!
I was not even able to speak with a “Level 2” tech support person. I demanded that I be connected to a technical person a not just fed the same FAQ crap that I could find on the website. The “Level 2” person would not take my call but just passed the message to the “Level 1” Person that I would have to contact Microsoft.
So I am posting this message here to the Palm fourm in hope that the software engineering team will see this and be able to either patch their software or give me the .reg key to break the association between WMP and PD6. Below I have posted a long list of my Chat support that explains the issues in further technical details, and also details the lack of detailed skilled support available at Palm.com.
Help? Direction?
I have my palm application directory installed to V:\PalmDesktop6App and the user data files installed to V:\jcollyer-files\PalmDataV6_001 This is a removable drive that I install on my work computer. I remove this drive and take it home with me. Doing this allows me the ability to keep my palm data secure but I can still use my computer at work to manage my palm data.
If the V:\ drive is not mounted when I run palm desktop, Palm desktop messes up the "Path" regestry key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop\Core]
"DesktopPath"="V:\\PalmDesktop6App\\"
"HotSyncPath"="V:\\PalmDesktop6App\\Hotsync.exe"
"Path"="V:\\jcollyer-files\\PalmDataV6_001"
"UserConduitFolder"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\jcollyer\\Application Data\\HotSync\\Conduits"
"PIMVersion"="6.1.0"
"DesktopExe"="Palm.exe"
@=""
"Desktop Language"="ENG"
"INSTALLDIR"="V:\\PalmDesktop6App\\"
"VM_Username"="John Collyer"
When the key gets messed up it defaults to the standard palm desktop path:
"C:\Documents and Settings\jcollyer\My Documents\Palm OS Desktop"
I found this out because every time Windows Media player starts it tries to start Palm Desktop or the Palm Desktop install/remove program. I get a pop up window and progress bar that says “Palm Desktop by Access”. The only way to get rid of this pop up window is to shut down windows media player. So if my V: drive is not mounted just starting windows media player corrupts the user “Path” registry settings. It just so happens our work voicemail uses media player on the computer.

Dan > Hello John_Collyer, Thank you for contacting Palm Technical Support. My name is Dan. How may I help you?
John_Collyer > When the key gets messed up it defaults to the standard palm desktop path:
"C:\Documents and Settings\jcollyer\My Documents\Palm OS Desktop"
I found this out because every time Windows Media player starts it tries to start Palm Desktop or the Palm Desktop install/remove program. I get a pop up window and progress bar that says “Palm Desktop by Access”. The only way to get rid of this pop up window is to shut down windows media player. So if my V: drive is not mounted just starting windows media player corrupts the user “Path” registry settings. It just so happens our work voicemail uses media player on the computer. I am using window media player 11.
What the heck is going on? How can I stop Windows Media Player from triggering the palm desktop application? Better yet why does it even try?
It does this when I simply open windows media player, even without a file. Just opening the Windows Media player application by it’s self causes this behavior.
Dan > Please let me go through the information you have provided.
John_Collyer > Ok standing by...
Dan > I understand that you have issue with the Palm Desktop and windows Media player getting messed up .
Dan > Sure I will guide with the issue .
Dan > May I know since when you are facing the issue ?
Dan > Please let me know the Operating System you are using. Is it Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/Vista or MAC?
John_Collyer > I had this problem from the first install about two weeks. I use PalmDesktop 4 with my T2 for years on a removable drive never had an issue. PD6 only allows me to set the user path during installation. So I have been having issues with the reg keys getting messed up for a while. I though just creating a .reg file to fix the problems was going to be simple till I found windows media player was trying to autostart palm software???
John_Collyer > Windows XP SP3
John_Collyer > I am a new owner of the Palm Centro not using the T2 with PD6
Dan > Thank you for information .
Dan > I got the issue .
Dan > There are more than one version of the Palm software in the computer .
John_Collyer > No only PD6 now
Dan > That's reason the Drivers in the Registry are messing up and causing the issue .
Dan > Okay .
Dan > Do you have any data in the Palm Desktop ?
John_Collyer > Yes, when the V: drive is mounted everything works great, perfect. Windows Media player even load without a hitch. I would even deal with the .reg fix work around I made to over write the registry. I still don't understand why the application tries to load when it is installed on the V: drive if the v: drive is not present. It has to be the install/uninstall .msi file that runs the Add/Remove programs feature in widows control panel. Why does any of this change the user path?
Dan > I will explain you .
Dan > The reason for change of the path is with the corrupted applications and computer settings .
John_Collyer > Sorry, Why would the .msi file run if Windows Media is started?
Dan > .MSI file is the supporting file for Windows Media player .
Dan > That's reason for executing of .msi file during the windows media player .
Dan > To fix the issue we must perform clean uninstall and reinstall so that you will not have any further issue .
Dan > Let me know if you are comfortable with the clean uninstall and reinstall if the Palm software .
John_Collyer > I've uninstalled PD6 and reinstalled it like 12 times. If the V: drive is missing it really messes up the PD6 software. To keep me from doing this by launching PD6 from the C: drive I installed it to V:. No .exe no launchy. It works fine. What is hooking into windows media player. A .msi is a Microsoft install package, not a media file. We can do a clean install but why would running windows media player start the palm install/uninstall .msi file? I have not heard why?
John_Collyer > All my installs have worked fine. Unless there is a deeper cleaning process you can help me with other than running the remove program, is it worth trying AGAIN?
Dan > Did you perform clean uninstall and reinstall >
John_Collyer > Clean = remove program, reinstall, and sync to a new user folder? Then Yes. Other options?
Dan > No we need top perform few other steps .
John_Collyer > Ok shall I "Remove Program"?
Dan > No please wait .
Dan > First please let me know if you have any data in the Palm Desktop in the computer .
John_Collyer > Yes, but it is also going to be kept in the phone correct? It will survive if we create a new user folder right?
Dan > Yes .
Dan > Please let me know the user name given during the Sync .
John_Collyer > Well then I think it is safe, I have recently hotsynced so the data should be a match?
John_Collyer > John Collyer
Dan > Cool .
Dan > Thank you for information .
Dan > In the computer open My documents -->Palm OS Desktop-->locate folder called CoolyJ .
Dan > In the computer open My documents -->Palm OS Desktop-->locate folder called CoolyJ .
John_Collyer > No user folder there.... It's on the V: drive V:\jcollyer-files\PalmDataV6_001\CollyeJ Yes?
Dan > Please wait .
Dan > Please right click on the Palm Desktop and then click on Properties .
John_Collyer > the .exe in V:\PalmDesktop6App or the shortcut in start menu?
John_Collyer > start menu= V:\PalmDesktop6App\Palm.exe
Dan > You will have the Palm Desktop icon on the computer desktop .
Dan > Okay .
Dan > Thank you for information .
Dan > Please take the back of the Palm Desktop data in the computer .
John_Collyer > Destop target = V:\PalmDesktop6App\Palm.exe tpp
John_Collyer > ??? Please take the back of the Palm Desktop data in the computer
Dan > I mean to tell you that we must save all data of the Palm Desktop in different location .
Dan > I will assist you .
Dan > In the computer open V:drive-->locate Palm folder .
Dan > Open Palm folder and check if you have folder called CoolyJ .
John_Collyer > V:\jcollyer-files\PalmDataV6_001\CollyeJ
John_Collyer > No CoolyJ
Dan > Okay .
Dan > In the computer open Vrive-->Collerfiles-->Copy Palm folder and paste on the computer desktop .
John_Collyer > done
Dan > Okay .
Dan > Do not delete the Pal folder that was copied to computer desktop .
John_Collyer > ok
Dan > First go to Start-->Control Panel-->Add/Remove Programs. There Palm or PalmOne or Palm Desktop will be listed. Click Remove against it.
Let me know once you are done with unistallation process.
John_Collyer > starting
John_Collyer > done, next
Dan > Now in the computer open V:drive-->Collerfiles-->Rename Palm folder to Palmold .
John_Collyer > already there
Dan > Okay .
Dan > Now we need to perform Registry Clean up .
Dan > Please perform the steps provided .
Dan > 1. Click on Start.
2. Click on Run.
3. Type "regedit" and click Ok.
4. Then Registry Editor window will open.
5. Double click on HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

Dan > You are pretty fast .
Dan > Now clean uninstall of the Palm software is done .
John_Collyer > I was already deep in the registry look at this all thats how I found the "Path"
John_Collyer > Now we reinstall? Can I still use the V: drive for application files and user data?
Dan > Yes .
Dan > You can use V:drive .
Dan > After you install the Palm software perform Sync and make sure that Sync is success .
Dan > And you will not have sny issue with the Windows media player messing up .
John_Collyer > Ok I will start the PD6 install now
Dan > Please go a head .
Dan > Thank you for all the cooperation and patience in the chat session .,
John_Collyer > working almost done
Dan > Awesome .
Dan > But after installation is complete we need to restart the computer .
Dan > We must restart the computer for necessary changes to take place .

Dan > Please go ahead .
John_Collyer > Till then, good bye...
Dan > Please let me know if I can be of any further help .
Dan > Analyst has closed chat and left the room
Did all this above. Still have Windows Media Player trying to launch the ACCESS .msi installer which creates these processes:
IDriver.exe (x5)
IdriverT.exe (x1)
MSIexec.exe (x3)
I have let windows media player and windows installer run a bit longer and I get a second window titled "windows installer" with the text:
The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
Click OK to try again, or enter and alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'Palm Desktop by ACCESS.msi' in the box below.
[C:\DOCUME~1\jcollyer\LOCALS~1\Temp\_is4\]
this is the default text.
I browsed my way to C:\WINDOWS\Installer and found a new .msi for PD6 called C:\WINDOWS\Installer\45599.msi and renamed it to C:\WINDOWS\Installer\45599_PalmNeedsBetterSoftware_msi
Still have the same issues from above. I thought if the .msi failed to be found then the error might just get passed over. So I do not know where IDriver.exe or other MS Installer applications is getting the values for 'Palm Desktop by ACCESS.msi'?
Again it is very odd that the ACCESS installer it trying to run when windows media player is launched (even with out any media, app only). Please do not tell me to do another "Clean Install" that is just BABY-TALK tech support at this point!!! I need to know why the PalmDesktop ACCESS installer is hooking into Windows Media Player. There is no doubt something odd is going on. As long as the V: drive where my Palm Desktop applications and user data is stored there is no problem. As soon as the V: drive is off line I have all these issues.
I noticed that PalmDesktop now has advanced media tools to "Make Video" in the media tab of Palm Desktop. This is where you can export a .mpg slide show of all you photos from your palm photos.
I would bet you a free year of Verizon's wireless data plan that the new Palm Desktop is registered as some type of client application to windows media service. When windows media player loads it tries to register all the clients and the Palm media client application is not available so some how MS Windows tries to start the PalmDesktop installer to fix the client media application.
Please note that I am not using Pocket Tunes at all, not trying to sync pTunes with Windows media or Rhapsody or any other media junk. Right now I want my palm to just be a extra smart contact and calendar manager, that’s all.
PALM NEEDS TO PATCH THIS. Palm Desktop should call Windows Media when it needs it, not have Palm Desktop registered as a client application to Windows Media by default!
PLEASE TELL ME THERE IS A SIMPLE FAQ FIX FOR ALL NONSENSE???

Thank you so much for replying.
Yes I have removed and reinstalled WMP.
I had good results with the PD6 application installed on the default path onto the C: drive with the one exception that if the application was launched by accident and the user data path was not available, the PD6 application would blow away my custom user path registry settings. Now that I know what they are I have made a .reg file to repair my registry to my desired user data paths.
Installing the application on the removable drive appeared to help prevent me from launching the application by accident and overwriting my registry with default user paths.
So which is the less of the two evils?
If the application directory is not available, windows media player still tries to launch the .msi for installing PD6.
If I install the application to the C: drive but the user data to the removable drive, launching the PD6 application without the user data drive will still corrupt my registry settings for a user data path.
Both these issues seem like a logical (if not easy) fix that should be done in the PD6 application and installation package. I mean really, cannot anyone tell me why windows media player is checking the PD6 application directory? Why in PD4 did we have an option control for setting the user data path from the PD4 application? Why is this option not in the PD6 application, just the installer?
I am given a choice during installation to move the user data to another non default location. Why else would this be provided if not to accommodate my kind of request to store the user data into an alternate location other than “My Document”. Certainly Palm is not trying to force the users on how to protect and store their personal data?

Problem with "play to device" on windows media player

Hello, I'm having a problem with the play to device feature of windows media player. I am trying to use it to play music files to my T.V. It works fine if i try to play a single file or a small number of files (50 or so), but if I try to play
my entire playlist (346 songs, if it matters)in this way or a large number of random songs, nothing happens. No error messages or freezes either, it's as if i never clicked play. I thought this might be a limitation with the t.v. or my network
(im doing this via wi-fi) but when i tried this using windows explorer instead of windows media player it worked just fine, and this was with all the music on my computer which is about 3000 songs. Therefore, i know this is a problem with windows media
player and not my t.v., network or computer. This is a problem because i don't want to play all my music, just my playlist. Short of making a separate folder with duplicate files in it for each and every playlist i want to play in this manner(which
is not only time consuming and tedious but takes up space on my hard drive) how do i remove this limitation or otherwise get around it? Thanks!
P.S. Out of curiosity, why does this limitation exist and what causes it?

when i tried this using windows explorer instead of windows media player it worked just fine, and this was with all the music on my computer which is about 3000 songs.
Hi,
According to your description,you said that you used windows explorer.Did you share 3000 songs with your TV?
If so,I think this method is different with "play to" feature.
Also,we haven't found any limitation with Windows media player.

Windows Media Player plug-in issues - Safari 4.0.5 on Windows 7

Hi guys,
I just did a fresh install of Windows 7 and of course the page to chose a browser popped up. Glad to see my beloved Safari browser to be available I installed it. Of course not all was running smoothly but after the 'mandatory' flash, Windows Media Player and QuickTime plug in I assumed all media content should run perfect in Safari.
Unfortunately not for WMV files. I get the 'Safari can't find the internetplugin, MIME-type application/x-mplayer2'error message.
I looked the issue up on the web of course and found out the trouble that Safari had with WMV streaming. What struck me is that this is a Mac only problem I believe (Flip4Mac solution). As I am running Windows 7 I was quite sure that Safari should be able to stream and play WMV files in the browser.
So I removed and installed the Windows Media Player plug-in again (http://www.apple.com/safari/download/plugins.html) but to no avail. I then removed Safari and installed it again, still same problem. I tried the Fire-Fox plug in, no solution.
It really drives me nuts to open IE8 only to play some WMV files in the browser. I hope someone can shed some light on this issue.
Strange thing I noticed: I can't see how I can manage my plug-ins. There seems to be no tab for it in the Safari settings and in the program-files folder I can only find Java.
Thank you so much for your time and effort.

I looked up the internet but can't find anything on this. As no replies here too I guess I'm the only one. The other thing that struck me is the enormous CPU usage when playing flash in the browser. Up to 95%-100% cpu usage when playing HD flash content. First I assumed it was a Flash issue but Internet Explorer never used more then 35%-55%. I then assumed it was just Flash in Safari. Strange thing is, if I maximize the window the cpu load actually drops to 55%. I only get high cpu usage when flash is played in the Safari window. I guess that means it's something to do with the browser and not an isolated flash 'bug'.
Also still no luck playing WMV in the browser itself. Maybe time to look for yet another browser. A shame as I like the Safari browser a lot. MobileMe and iPhone are great to sync bookmarks and the look and feel is great. The engine is not so good unfortunately.
