Media library problem in Win7.

[RetroJay]

Hi all good AGS...ers.

I got a new laptop running Windows 7.
I put my music and vids into the appropriate folders but something is strange.
When I open 'Media Library' it shows all of my music but doesn't show any of my videos.
It says that the video library is empty, which I know for a fact is wrong.

Has anyone had the same problem or am I just doing something wrong?

Many thanks.
Jay.

Did you have the stuff in the Video library or was it just "pointing" to another destination? If so, the "include-thing" might have disappeared for some reason. This has happened to me before. I just had to include the folder I kept my stuff in and all was well again.

Hi jon_swe.

Thanks for the reply.

In Documents you have Music, Pictures and Videos. inside Videos I have a folder named My Videos this is where I put my vids.
Now in media library I checked the "include-thing" and the folder to My videos is already there.
However it still doesn't display any vids and still says that the library is empty.

I don't know. I am at a loss.
I had the same vids on XP and they all showed up in media library there.
I know it's not a huge prob but all my pics and music show up fine. it's just bloody vids that are missing from library.

Many thanks.
Jay.

It seems that a lot of people have this problem, but there are no answers (that I could find) for it.
Try restoring the library to default maybe?

Thank You for your help,

It does indeed seem that other people are having the same prob.
I find this rather odd though as my Brother and Friends of mine have no probs at all.
Maybe an update will fix this for me and other people later.

Thank you for your help.

If you mean MediaPlayer, try this:

Activate 'show hidden folders.'
Go to C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media Player
Delete the content of the folder
All your music/movies should be shown again in MP
