Windows Media Center (WMC) does not recognize WMV under "folder" view. I am able to see and run the files under the by "date" view. The system used to recognize the files before without any problem in the folder view. I am able to see and run the files
under Windows Media Player (WMP) as well as windows explorer (libraries, etc). I have seen similar threads with this same problem nevertheless it has not been answered. I have not particularly install anything recently except the usual windows updates. I have
tried the following recommendation but was useless:
|
1.
|
Exit any running instance of Windows Media Center.
|
|
2.
|
Delete the mediaCenterDataStore.db file. By default, this file is in the following location:
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\ProgramData\Microsoft\eHome\mediaCenterDataStore.db
To delete the file, follow these steps:
|
a.
|
Click
Start , and then click Run .
|
|
b.
|
In the
Open box, type run , and then click OK
If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click
Continue .
|
|
c.
|
In the
Open box, type %systemdrive%\programdata\microsoft\ehome
, and then click OK .
|
|
d.
|
In the details pane, right-click
mediacenterdatastore.db , and then click Delete
.
|
|
e.
|
Click
Yes to confirm that you want to move the Mediacenterdatastore.db file to the Recycle Bin.
