Windows Media Player not selecting custom audio renderer filter on Windows 7 (works with graphedit)

Hi there,
I have custom directshow audio renderer filter derived from CBaseRenderer base class and implements IBasicAudio interface.
Filter works fine with graphedit and media player classic, I am able to receive audio data. But when I try to play file using Windows Media Player, filter gets callback in completeconnect followed by breakconnect and then its discarded.
Things I have tried so far --
Implement IBasicAudio interface, still fails with WMP
Modify audio renderer filter to connect with video decoder, it works fine with WMP and I can get dump of raw video data
Implement IReferenceClock interface, still fails with WMP
Implement this filter using CBaseFilter as base class, still same outcome, CompleteConnect on receive pin followed by BreakConnect and filter is discarded
It seems that Windows Media Player is looking for some specific interface that I might have not implemented or is picky for audio renderer. I found similar issue at https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/windowsdesktop/en-us/6e5985fb-3ca2-41b3-9a99-7a9b97ae7357/directshow-filter-stopped-working-in-windows-7-media-player.
But it seems unresolved.
Please help, am stuck on this issue for 3 days without any luck. Any clues on this is appreciated.
Thank you.

Thanks for the reply Roman.
Most of QuerryInterface calls received in NonDelegatingQuerryInterface callback inside filter are same as that for greaphedit.
From http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mediasdkstuff/archive/2008/09/19/custom-directshow-audio-renderer-hangs-playback-in-windows-media-player-11.aspx, it seems that WMP on Windows 7 uses preferred list of filters using IAMPluginControl that cannot be modified
by 3rd party.
There has to be some workaround for this that am trying to figure out. Any clues on this?
Thanks,
Shobhit

Windows Media Player not working on CNN??

I have installed Windows Media Player 9 and the plug-in for it to work on Quicktime. On other websites it works (at least comes up) when clicking on videos. However, on CNN it says no player detected. Anyone have more info? I'm thinking maybe WMP doesn't work with Intel. I've tried reinstalling it several times.

windows media player works with intel through rosetta. the quicktime wmv plugin does not yet work on intel however. if you right click on safari under your applications and click "get info", there is a box you can check that allows you to open safari using rosetta. this should allow the windows media player plugin to work with safari, it will just be a lot slower. flip4mac is promising a native version of the quicktime component soon, so that should solve the problem for good when that comes out.

Windows Media Player cannot play the audio files

Hi, I have Toshiba laptop, it's my baby, and suddenly I cannot play any sounds! When I click to play a song on windows media player it says:
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.
I have tried everything and I'm on my last nerve! Basically, I'm really rubbish with computers, I can't understand this at all, I've followed every path suggested by the 'help' section in my computer and I still can't listen to 'The Feeling!' Please help, I'm going mad here!

Hello
I have had similar problem after usage of Windows Live messenger (talk option). The sound was suddenly gone without any reason. I have done follow steps:
Close all running applications
Enter start control panel system hardware tab device manager and remove listed sound card
Start Add Hardware option in control panel.
The sound card should be detected and installed properly. After doing this try please to use Windows Media player again
Good luck!

I just purchased Premiere 13 and the video files won't play in Windows Media Player. I have audio but no video. What can I do? I have Premiere 12 and everything works fine with it.

What can I do?

Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 8.1 64 bit
What are your export settings for this finished video from Premiere Elements 13?
For example - are you using
Publish+Share
Computer
AVChD
with Presets = MP4 H.264 1920 x 1080p30
or something different like
Publish+Share
Computer
MPEG
with Presets = MPEG2 1920 x 1080i30
or something different ....
We are going to have to get at your export settings which gets us to the properties of the finished video that you are trying to play in Windows Media Player.
If you take your finished video from Premiere Elements 13 and import that into a new Premiere Elements 13 project with Add Media/Files and Folders,
does it import into the new project. And, when the video is in the new project, does it display video and have audio in the Edit area monitor?
We need more details of the properties of the finished video. Knowing that you have no problems with this matter in Premiere Elements 12 and that
the finished video plays in CyberLink are important, but they do not help to figure out what is happening in 13 so that it does not happen again.

Windows Media Player not working in Firefox 7

This pertains to a beta Internet radio page at http://www.radiofreeneptune.com/ with Windows Media Player embedded in the page.
Prior to Forefox 7, browsing the page with Firefox had the correct media player interface appear (black, with blue buttons) as soon as the page loaded. Clicking on Play caused the music to play.
Having updated to Firefox 7, Firefox stops working for about a minute when the page is first accessed (it appears to be buffering a lot of audio). A crude Media Player interface finally appears. Audio starts playing immediately, even though the embedded control has it AutoStart set to false.
FireFox has the Microsoft Windows Media Player for Firefox 1.0.0.8 installed.
Any idea what might be causing this?
Thanks.
Jack

Try to remove the old (Npdsplay dll in the plugins list) WMP plugin in case that is used.
The embed for Firefox has autostart="1" not not autostart=false (0) like the object for IE.

Windows media player not recognized as a valid plug-in in safari?

on this PB 15 1.67/OS 10.4.3 I experienced some difficult in installing a piece of software, here's the thread....
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1360929#1360929
prior to this difficulty, I had installed windows media player to access video clips embedded on news web sites etc, and everything worked fine, video usually streamed right into the media player, not saving a file to the desktop, but merely playing in a window....
to solve the software install problem above, I returned to the apple store & they suggested and helped me accomplish an archive & re-install of the OS, and afterwards, the problem software installed properly...
since the archive & re-install of OS 10.4.3, my windows media player is not recognized as a valid plug-in by safari.
when I click on a video link (embedded), a seperate window appears that describes my need to install windows media player 9 for mac (and it's already in my app's folder), when I download the file to attempt re-installing media player, stuffit doesn't seem to un zip the file after double clicking on it, no app file appears on the desktop to mount in the apps dierctory?
if the video link is not embedded, I can cntrl-click and save the file to the desktop and it will play normally, but if the file is embedded I have no means to see the news clip etc?
also, for those video files that are not embedded, instead of playing directly via streaming, when a link is clicked, the file downloads to the desktop before playing?
these aren't huge problems (well when trying to view an embedded news clip it is!) but any help in trying to return to normal behaviour would help!
thanks again,
dave
powerbook G4 1.67 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

thanks for the link, but I wa really looking into making the win media player function as it had before I had to archive & re-load OS 10.4.3
I use the player infrequently, but it drives me crazy when I'm looking @ a news page w/an embedded video and can't merely click it's link & see the clip!
any thoughts on why I can't get the win media player sitx file to un-stuff and possibly re-install win media player to allow safari to recognize it as a valid plug-in?
thanks again....

WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER NOT WORKING. PLEASE HELP!!

I recently bought the Xtremegamer X-fi sound blaster card. I installed all the drivers and updated them.
System
cpu: 4200 AMD X2
Speakers: 5. setup
(shouldn't be any problems there)
My problem is that i can't play music through windows media player. I can play games and get music fine, i can stream videos online and get music, but i can't play music from my library on WMP. When i click on a song, the bar shows that the song is going, but there is absolutely no sound.
I downloaded iTunes, and i can play music just fine on that, but i HATE iTunes.
(and yes i checked to make sure nothing is muted)Message Edited by jaredcaspers on 2-30-200704:3 PM

On the top bar of Windows Media Player click on "Play" and then select "Volume" from the dropdown list. Make sure that "mute" doesn't have a checkmark beside it.

How to make WMV files open in in Windows Media Player not Flip4Mac/QT

I just installed Safari 4. With Safari 3 when I clicked on a WMV file on a web site it would automatically open in Windows Media Player. I liked this arrangement just fine. When I installed Safari 4, instead of this happening WMV files started to download instead. I installed Flip4Mac and now they play in QuickTime but I don't like the controls... i.e. I cannot adjust the volume except from the keyboard.
Is there any way to make WMV files open in Windows Media Player the way they used to in Safari 3 instead of either downloading or opening in QuickTime with Flip4Mac?

Not very easy but it could be done.
If the file opens in QuickTime (via Flip4Mac) you can use the Movie Inspector window to "find" the URL. Then open that URL directly in WMP.
You could also dig through the page source code or use the Safari Activity window to find the URL.

Help New satellite c655-s5136, programs slow, window media player not working, and more

I just bought this computer in January 2011 and had a lot of problems w/ it.
1) At first it wouldn't go on certain webpages. (for example I could get on gmail not yahoo). The help screen said it was the router or there were no issues. I had to look online (on a different computer) and find out I had to turn off all my plug in to get it to work.
NOW
I keep getting an RUNDLL error message every time I turn it on. Can someone tell me what that is?
it says specified module could not be found: C:\user\Tashaun\appdata\local\upifitizoyiziyem.dll
The internet and all offline programs are running really slow and they keeps freezing or shutting down on their own or won't come up at all
Windows media player is completely messed up. My downloaded music won't go into the library. I have to make a playlist and put my songs in that. But yesterday I got some error message and half of my songs disappeared. I can't export the songs from the windows player either. I looked online and it all says the player is corrupted due to installation error when upgrading to windows 7. But I never upgraded to windows 7. It came with the computer. I tried some of the solutions anyway but I can’t delete wmdb file because windows said the media center was open, even though I used task manager and shut all programs off
Should I have Toshiba look at the computer? I don’t know if it’s the computer or the windows 7 software. Except for having to disable plugins, the computer worked fine for a month.
In addition, had Norton internet security on the computer since day 1. Tried Microsoft fix it program. And fixcleaner

With dll names like that, it looks to me like you've been hit by a malware. Doing recovery to out-of-box state is your easy way out on this.

Windows Media Player Doesn't play video files or DVDs (Windows 7 Home Premium)

Hello,
I recently purchased a new hard drive and installed Windows 7 Home Premium on it. Since then, Windows Media Player has not been able to play any kind of video files or DVDs. I have tried using the Fixit tool and turning the WMP off and on with the Windows
Features menu, but it has not solved the problem. I have also made sure that my video and audio drivers are up to date.
The errors that come up say:
Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or a required codec might not be installed on your computer.
and
Windows Media Player cannot play DVD video. You might need to adjust your Windows display settings. Open display settings in Control Panel, and then try lowering your screen resolution and color quality settings.
Any help with this would be great, because I like using WMP better than other media players.

Hi,
Firstly, please try to use the Video example in C:\Users\Public\Videos\Sample Videos if it could play normally.
Secondly, try to reinstall Graphic Card driver for test.
If problem persists, try to remove WMP in Windows feature and add it again for test.

Recording audio in Adobe Audition from a DVD played on Windows Media Player

I use Adobe Audition for audio production. I should be able to play a DVD via Windows Media Player and record the audio from it using Adobe Audition.
It isn't working.
I get a pop-up message indicating: INVALID ASIO INPUT (it continues to read) ! The selected input port or ASIO driver is invalid. Please change your settings in the audio hardware setup dialogue.
I tried that approach, and was not offered the ability to make that change.
Anyone have any ideas? My much older VAIO Sony computer handled this perfectly.
Thanks!

Hey Terry
in the corporate world wee have to contend with clients who are all windows based and prevented from installing anything on their systems.
I use Flip4Mac, Studio Pro HD, with the following mix of settings;
Open clip in QT, I do also use compressor but for some reason I like using QT for exporting to WMV.
File/Export
Export:movie to windows media
Use: One pass VBR, Presentation (high), 16:9
Options>
Advanced... input type: interlace Lower field first(DV), output type: progressive
Coding method: Two pass VBR
Give this a shot and then tweak to suit your needs, oh and you can save your settings as a preset for QuickTime.
Within Compressor there is no export to WMV, so you have to start with another setting and create your own saving it for future use.

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.
