    Windows Media Center Unable to Play One Video


    I have been using Windows Media Center to stream my videos from my laptop (running Windows Vista) and so far it has worked like a dream. Then I encountered one problem. I went to play a video (an MP4) and I get the message of "Video Error: Files needed to
    display video are not installed or are not working correctly. Restart Windows Media Center or restart the computer." I did try the suggestion of restarting and it did not fix my issue. This video file is the exact same format, and in the exact same location
    as other videos that run perfectly fine. I do not understand why this particular one is giving me trouble. I have tried removing and adding the xbox to my streaming media devices twice. The video file plays perfectly fine on the laptop but just won't play
    over the Xbox.

    having trouble setting up windows media center.

    [quote user="NanoTechSoldier"]That's why, you follow the steps I mentioned about turning Media Streaming on in Windows 7 via WMP[/quote]WMP and Media Center Extender are not related.
    & it shows the Xbox360 extender... You NEED Media Streaming turned
    on
    Windows Media Player
    streams over port 10245, 443, and a random external port    . Windows Media Center requires a

    whole host of ports    , none of which are port 10245.
    @ low-level OS coding
    Gibberish.
    & Windows Media Player is a part of Windows Media Center
    No, it's not. It's a separate executable.
    How do you think you watch videos in
    Windows Media Center....??????
    Playing a video is not the same as running a Media Extender.

    Xbox to PC help(Not the usual help) :p

    Have you tried using Windows Media Center as a means of streaming video's from your comp? You can set up WMP on both the 360 and PC so that you can see any folder containing media and have it stream to Xbox. This way you can playback video's on both your
    main drive and secondary without the need to place them in public folders.

    support.xbox.com/.../windows-media-center-on-xbox-360-windows-7 Windows 7

    support.xbox.com/.../windows-media-center-on-xbox-360-windows-8-setup Windows 8

    I would recommend using that method of streaming video's and then just tell WMP on PC which folders you wish to share with the Xbox. Then when you access WMP on 360, it should see every single folder you have given permission to share from the PC. Its the
    way I stream video's to my 360, with no issues aside from the fact Xbox does not play MKV unless you use alternative media sharing software.

    Let me know if this helps. :)
