Windows Media Player 12 has built-in support for many popular audio and video formats. Sync music, videos, and photos, or stream media to your devices so you can enjoy your library anywhere, at home or on the road.
Normally, when you change the info of a song in the library, WMP doesn't immediately write the change to the corresponding music file, but waits a while and then does this quietly in the background. You can use Tools - Apply media information changes to force WMP to write all changes to file immediately (press Ctrl+M if you don't see the Tools menu). Do you see the changes reflected in the files themselves after using this command?
So I've been a fellow user of "Groove" Media player for a long time, never changed since I got used to the nice UI, but most importantly the sort by "date added" feature where I can nicely see what was the last album/songs I moved into that specific folder.
Very frustrating that WD introduces new My Cloud firmware that is not compatible with their own (albeit old) WD media players. I own 6 WD TV Media Players and 7 WD Cloud Drives and 2 WD DL4100 drives and both recommended and sold hundreds of WD devices to my clients so I have been a very faithful WD customer.
Since the label is updated periodically, a timer is inevitable. As long as the interval of the timer is not set too short (say, less than 100ms), and avoid putting too much work in the Tick event handler (reporting the current position of media takes little effort), it does no harm to the performance of the program.
Edit: Attached is a media player based on wimm.dll. Much of the time I spent to make this player was on video playback. I foresee that this player will ultimately be the future version of my zPlayer. I had a lot of fun working on this. And I have to say thank you to many of forum members for helping me out when I had difficulties. If an error is found, I would expect that you would kindly let me know. If you download the latest version, hopefully the error would have been corrected already.
Recently @ioa747 showed us how to make a fullscreen GUI here. I asked myself if I could apply the code to my winmm.dll player. I found that, in order to do it, the video window should be opened in popup style to start with and make it a child of my own GUI so that I could resize and move the video window around. It was done and it works fine. But there is one difference between fullscreen mode offered by winmm.dll and the popup style fullscreen mode: the dll method keeps the aspect ratio of image, but the popup style ignores aspect ratio when in fullscreen. winmm.dll surrounds the image with black bars to keep the aspect ratio if the screen resolution is not exactly the same as the source's aspect ratio. I know that some people like it and some others don't. Anyway, I made a simple player with fullscreen mode in popup style and uploaded it in the first post of this topic.
I just uploaded, in the first post of this topic, a revised version of this player. A lot of improvements were made in maximized and fullscreen mode of video window and in graphical controls overlayed on video window. I also corrected the error in calculation of total and streamed lengths: I found that some files have number of frames instead of milliseconds as the length. I had to forcefully set the timer format to milliseconds before obtaining the length.
The issues that you are currently experiencing, such as mciSendString("play myMedia fullscreen"), are caused by the codecs you have installed on your system for playback. Klite is only useful if you also use their included player for all of your playback. If you want to use a Windows supplied player, you'll need to use a codec package specifically designed for Windows players. If you have used Klites GUI to select the 64bit WMP as default, have a look at the file wmsetup.log found inside the Windows temp folder. That file is loaded with errors caused by Klite. My software leaves that file clean and error free. I distribute a portable codec package (no installer) with a highly configurable GUI written in AutoIt that defaults to using LAV filters and the 64bit WMP but I also include very useful alternative codecs produced by the MPC-BE Dev Team (extremely active development) because their codecs do not cause any issues for WMP or for winmm.dll.
Just search my username and get the ADVANCED package. Use Launcher64.exe to get it set up. It will auto-remove Klite for you if it is still installed. Next, use the AutoUpdate feature found on the Help TAB because I have several unpublished updates specifically for use with winmm.dll that will be installed by the update feature. After AutoUpdate completes and no further updates are available, go have a look on the Misc TAB and checkout the checkbox [x] Windows MCI player. That checkbox uses winmm.dl. Hover that checkbox for up to date info!
Had same problem after upgrading Media Player to 0.7. So restored ATV, updated to iOS 4.3 1 August, then jail broke using latest Seas0nPass, then installed ATVFlash, installed Media Player 0.7.1 and so far everything seems to be working.
I just installed the latest update and now I only get static when playing .m4v (handbrake apple tv 2 profile) files. All of my .mp4 movies sound fine. This is a new issue and the first I have had with the media player. I believe I started prior to version .6. Any help or ideas are appreciated. The movies are coming off a drobo fs on a wired connection. No issues with any of the files when played on the atv2 when streamed off the drobo fs through itunes on the mac mini server.
My NTFS USB hard drive has been connected to my Roku 3 for a couple of years and has always worked perfectly. Tonight my Roku software was updated and suddenly it cannot recognize my hard drive anymore. I removed the drive and connected it to my computer to make sure it hadn't failed. It was working perfectly. I reattached it to my Roku 3 and the usual prompt appeared asking me if I wanted to open the newly attached drive. But when the Roku Media Player opened and I selected "ALL" I was met with an info screen that basically was telling me no drive could be found. I am not sure what to do now.
Same as all the others. After update to ver 11 on April 20, 2022 media player will not recognize external USB hard drive but will recognize thumb drive (???). Tried different size drives and different file systems (NTFS, FAT32, exFAT). Will someone please wake up the knucklehead that's responsible for this egregious error and get it fixed? It would be nice if we, the users, were notified of updates and given the choice to update.
This security update resolves a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if Windows Media Player opens specially crafted media content that is hosted on a malicious website. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system remotely. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.

I just had an issue with the new feature OTA updates going from 1.6.0 to 1.6.1 . The players got stuck at the same screen. I connected a PC with the USB 3.0 cable supplied and ran the PC updater software to update the firmware and recovered the players.
