Windows Media Player 11 Media Sharing Problem


Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm new to this forum. Kinda glad I found this as I sometimes get many problems I can't solve myself.

Anyway, I recently was playing with my WMP11 to allow my laptop to share its media to my xbox 360 in order to stream videos and such. However the 360 wasn't recognizing my laptop at all, so I decided to remove the xbox 360 from the list in media sharing.

Problem is: I don't know how to put it back. I really hate watching videos on my laptop because it's annoying so I need help on this really bad.

Also is there a way to uninstall WMP? I've tried but it won't work. I haven't been able to play anything other than wmv files as videos on mine it gives me an error which annoys the hell outta me. I installed Zune for that but by default it won't allow avi files and others to play. Only a select few.

Thanks so much in advance. :thumbsup:

How is your Xbox connected?
It's connected to the router which transmits wireless to the whole house.
Might try the suggestions here

Why uninstall WMP? Just set something else as default and keep it so if you have problems you have a way to troubleshoot them (an alternative media player)

I'll try. Thank you.
