Windows 10: Media player folders not usable on OneDrive

I'm using Windows 10 on a Dell. I successfully uploaded to OneDrive all the CDs that were ripped to the PC. I also uploaded a bunch of playlists created with Windows Media Player and bearing the extension WPL. These can't be played, since it seems that files with the WPL extension are just indexes -- the track titles are briefly displayed, but no music is retrieved and played. Is this a fixable problem or do I have to recreate the playlists in some other format?

Windows media player automatically shares OneDrive pictures folder on network

HI,

Thanks but this is not the problem I have (onedrive folder sharing). The problem is the Windows Media Player is linking to my OneDrive pictures folder and availing all the content (13 GB of back up pictures from PC and my mobile) on my home network which
can be accessed by anyone connecting to the my home network. Despite going to WMP and deleting the Onedrive folder from the shared folders list (right click on pictures/Manage Pictures Libraries and then remove OneDrive pictures folder) the dang WMP still
reconnects and addes Onedrive folder back to the list of libraries to be shared !

this is frustrating because first, WMP should not automatically connects by default to Onedrive without specifically requesting it the first place, then when I delete it form the list, it should not reconnect to it.

 

Windows Media Player automatically shares Onedrive folders


Windows 10 1709 (16299.125) and WMP 12.0.16299.64.
I have uploaded all my music (mp3 files) to Onedrive, and the folder is unshared.
The problem I have is Windows Media Player shares the Onedrive songs (and pictures) without permission.
I have deleted the Onedrive folder from WMP library, but on each reboot, WMP puts it back.
There are over 30,000 songs so my WMP song and playlist database is showing everything twice... once from the local PC and once from the cloud.
How can I permanently remove this onedrive folder from the WMP library?
