Windows media player 11 problem

[Flinty]

For some reason my WMP11 will not show any of my music or videos in it's libary, but it still streams the data to my Xbox360 and PS3 as if the media is still in there.

What the hell is going on?

You need to refresh your library on your pc, the 360 builds a cache file when its first connects to your pc.

[Flinty]

How do I that? I cannot find a refresh button

[huxley]

Right click on the Library tab and select add media, and then let it scan.

[Flinty]

I should have mention I've done this but it doesn't scan.

[huxley]

Thats strange - how about if you do the add media and then select the path to your folders instead of it doing the automatic scan?

[Flinty]

Yes, I try that as well, I even try to restore my computer before the problem happen but it's still buggered.

[huxley]

drag the music folder into the media player library

[huxley]

Any joy yet Flinty?

[Flinty]

No luck Huxley, I've download Wimamp to play my music now, I have no idea why this problem has happen in the first place.

I have had my PC since 2003 and had no problems until now with the media player, funny thing is it will play music IF I open the file with WMP but it just won't store the damn thing!

[huxley]

Did you try and remove and reinstall wmp?
Sounds like the paths are messed up.

[Flinty]

Ok I've done that, it rolled back to WMP10 and all my music was all there great!

But.......

When I upgraded to WMP11 it was all gone!, whats that about?

[huxley]

Well if it had all your music listed in 10 it should also see it in 11.
Rescan the files and that should do it, if not I`m at a loss.
