Windows Media Player no longer works with Tiger

I use Windows Media Player, but have upgraded to Tiger, now I usually get "The hardware license for this content is inconsistent". The content worked before fine. I deleted WMP and its prefs, reinstalled WMP, repaired permissions. Still no go. Ideas?

I've been looking at another thread with similar issues but different symptoms. You may want to post here what issues you've had:

  • Plugin for Windows Media Player is not working with Firefox 4 on Windows 7

    I updated my Firefox to the latest version 4 yesterday, but since this time seems plugin for Windows Media Player not working anymore. When I visit some website with embedded video - like [http://www.ta3.com/sk/live this] - the window with WMP is not displayed and no video is playing. The website reports: You don´t have any plugin for playing of this video.
    I reinstalled the plugin for WMP several times - with no success. This problem is on all webpages with embedded video for WMP. The installation of WMP plugin is successfully finished, but no video is playing. I checked the “plugins“ folder in the installation directory of Firefox and everything seems to be OK. Where is also the problem? Please, help me with solving of this problem...
    My operating system: Windows 7 (64-bit)

    I just saw this posted to the mozilla.support.firefox newsgroup in the topic,<br>
    [http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.support.firefox/browse_thread/thread/f381fb349c4d109d/69bef0011240e600?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8 Windows Media Player will not install in Firefox 4] <br>
    ''Just for the record, the extension that conflicted with Windows Media Player is named: Real Player Browser Record Plug-In 14.0.2''
    <br>..... so try [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] to see if a Firefox extension is conflicting with the WMP Firefox plugin.

  • I can't open wmv files with Lion.  Windows media player doesn't work.  Any suggestions?

    Unable to open wmv files using Lion.  Windows media player doesn't work.  Are there any suggestions.
    Thanks

    macfriedchikkin's reply would make sense to you if you were trying to open a camera, but if you are trying to view streming media from a web site that is a different story. It helps to be very specific about what you are tyring to do on these forums.
    I belive you would go into Firefox Preferences menu and tell it  to use VLC as the application to play WMV files. I'm still running Tiger,  however, so I can't tell you if it the latest version works wel that way. The Tiger version doesn't seem to, but a lot may have changed since then. (I'm only just getting around to installing Leopard next week now that there are too may apps I can't run on Tiger. ) Perhaps someone else on this forum can better help you set  up the player in your browser.
    Or you can cut out the middleman and give VLC the direct video URL:
    Choose Open File from the File menu and paste in the URL of the video, say,
    http://azul.streamguys.com/auduboncal-1
    or http://azul.streamguys.com/auduboncal-2
    Your media should play this way. Dont forget to save the playlist for later.
    I'l keep investigating on my end, and yes, I'm also  encouraging certain people who are streaming windows media in to switching to a different format

  • I definitely have put this under the wrong catergory but i don't care, I was wondering why everytime i click on a video to play it says: Windows media player has stopped working

    Ok, so I made a video with Bandicam, and every time I click on it to play it (it is saved as an MP4), it just says: Windows Media Player has stopped working. Then it gives me two choices: Close the program OR look online for a solution. I REALLY want to
    post these videos, but I can't. If anyone could help that would be great!

    Hi juderocks14,
    Please first take a check with the other Players and see if they could play the MP4 file normally. If it can't be played, which means it might be corrupted. You may ask at the Bandicam side, or save the files again.
    If issue insists, take a try with the Troubleshooter (For Windows 7, 8 and 8.1):
    Open the Windows Media Player Settings troubleshooter
    Fix Windows Media Player video, and other media or library issues
    Or you may try to turn Windows Features on or off to reset Windows  Media Player:
    Turn Windows features on or off (Before turn it on again, please remember to reboot first)
    More reference:
    What happens if I turn off Windows Media Player?

  • Windows media player will not work as no DVD driver

    Had to format disk (trojan) & reinstall Windows XP home. Now Windows media player will not work as no DVD Driver, can I download from Toshiba site?

    Hi
    Usually the Windows media Player is not able to play DVD movies IF no plug-ins were installed.
    To watch DVD movies you can use the programs like WinDVD or PowerDVD.
    Such programs were designed especially for the DVD playing!
    But you can also visit the Microsoft website and search for plug-ins for Windows Media player.
    Then you could download and install it to play DVD with WMP
    Best regards

  • Windows Media Player on Mac OS X Tiger

    I recently downloaded Windows Media Player onto my Macbook in hopes of being able to upload music from my Sandisk Sansa Mp3 player to my harddrive, but the program only plays video files, and doesn't even recognize that something is attached when I plug the Sanza into one of the USB ports. Is there a specific format of Windows Media Player that I should download, or is the effort moot?

    I can't remember where I read it but what I do remember is that SanDisk and Microsoft spent some time and effort to make it such that Macs could not use this device.
    Other device makers are doing similar things. My newer Canon camera is usb but does not appear on the desktop when plugged into the usb port. Instead it boots up a Canon program that allows you to download images but also prompts you to print using a Canon printer. I can format the sd card in a generic windows format but the camera does not like it. If I fiddle with it long enough it will work and then appear on the desktop but it makes me mad. It seems that many device makers are going in this direction.
    Enough of my rant, check out this link to see if it helps. I use Ipods so I can't vouch for the quality of the program but it's worth a shot.

  • Windows Media Player or Creative MediaSource with Vision

    I just spent a few hours introducing myself to MediaSource. Then I realized I was not getting album art or anything, and read about how WMA files often sound better with smaller file sizes. I cannot decide which media organizer/player?to use, and am hoping for insight from anyone. I really don't want to waste time with one or the other, only to regret it later.

    Creative's software is horrendous. It is overly complicated, unintuiti've, and many functions simply do not work. I haven't played with Windows Media Player 0, but I really can't see how it could possibly be worse (or even as bad!) as the Creative offering! Creative really needs to fix the bugs in MediaSource and MediaOrganizer, so that the software is useable on the Vision:M. Maybe if enough people complain about it, they'll start fixing issues! Or, an even better idea, would be for a third party to write a killer app for the Vision:M and cut Creative out of the loop entirely. Creative may be able to manufacture good players, but they can't write software!

  • Is windows media player 6.2 works on Macbook pro?

    I am trying to do a course that needs at least Windows Media Player 6.4 version. I bought my Macbook pro just a couple of weeks ago. If I download from the Internet free, is it going to work on my Mac?
    Thanks for prompt response.

    Here is the current data in my terminal... I can't figure out what is still wrong with it?

  • Windows Media Player  won't work on Amazon, others

    On Amazon.com and some other sites, when I click to listen with Windows Media Player, a message comes up that Safari doesn't support those files.
    Any ideas?

  • Satellite A110 Media Apps for Windows Media Player don't work!

    Hello, I've got a Toshiba Satellite A110 Notebook since 2006.
    2 Days ago a friend formated my notebook. In order to make the systemstart a little bit faster, he stopped a few Toshiba applications in the system configuration. My notebook worksa now very good.
    But here is the problem: Before formatting I could use these helpful Media Apps for my Windows Media Player - basically because of laziness to switch between the programms during working. :-)...
    But now, they don't work anymore. :-(
    Is it possible, that we've stopped an application, which is important to make these apps run?
    Or is an additional driver left?
    Or do they only work in cobination with Windows Media Player 10. (now I've installed the WMP 11)
    I hope for your helpful answers.
    But think over, that I'm not such great computer genius! ;-)... :-(

    Try to enable all disabled applications. Go to START > Run and write MSCONFIG inside.
    When the System Configuration window is open go to Startup tab and enable all applications with empty Startup Item.
    Restart your notebook and check if everything works well again.

  • Windows Media Player does not work on Equium A100-027

    I have an Equium Notebook A100-027 which I bought in February of this year. I have just tried to play my Windows Media Player, but nothing happens when I click on it! It was working fine yesterday, but today it is not working anymore!
    Can anyone help me please?

    Hi,
    it would be useful to know which system you have (vista or xp) and if you recently installed some software or windows updates.
    This will perhaps help you and us users to give you better help on your problem.
    Would appreciate some feedback from you. :)

  • Windows Media Player suddenly not working- using wrong bit..?

    This is the error msg I get when trying to start windows media player:
    "The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher."
    I have not changed anything, it looks like my computer tried to do a quicktime update however when I when to most recent updates I did not see that wmp had been updated.. I use 64 bit on my computer, but i believe I was told that I can switch between 32
    and 64 bit. How do I fix this problem as I cannot use wmp for anything right now? Thanks.

    Hi,
    Firstly, if the issue did not occur before, please try to use the system restore to return to the point which the problem did not appear.
    You may run Windows Media Player settings troubleshooter and then test.
    Open the Windows Media Player Settings troubleshooter:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-the-Windows-Media-Player-Settings-troubleshooter
    If the issue persists, reinstall Windows Media Center via Turn Windows features on or off
    a. Open Control Panel/Programs and Features.
    b. Click "Turn Windows features on or off" in the left pane.
    c. Expand "Media Features", uncheck "Windows Media Player". Click "Yes" to continue, and click OK to quit. Then Restart.
    Sometimes, this error message appears because a installation file is corrupted. You can re-download or re-copy the setup file (Wmplayer.exe) for a test.
    If the issue persists, I would like to suggest you use Event Viewer to check the related logs.
    What information appears in event logs (Event Viewer)?
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/What-information-appears-in-event-logs-Event-Viewer
    Hope it helps.

  • Windows Media Player 11 Bluetooth connect with N73

    Anyone can help me with connecting N73 to Windows Media Player via bluetooth?
    I have Nokia PC Suite updated and Bluetooth connects with it.
    I can see it on "My Computer" folder as a phone and also as a camera.
    In Device Manager, i can also see it as a "Portable Media Device"
    But Windows Media Player doesn't seem to detect it when it is connected to PC via bluetooth. Only when connected by cable. But as I want to get rid of the cable, how should I manage this?
    Thank you very much.

    As you are using Windows 7, you can use this extension from Microsoft - http://www.interoperabilitybridges.com/html5-extension-for-wmp-plugin
