Windows 10: Win media player 12

I'm trying to connect media player via network to my Yamaha AV receiver. I'm told to go to "media share" settings in media player. I've looked at all the settings I can find but not found it. Can anyone help?

Media player

Hi,

For us to isolate the issue further, we’d like to know the following:

• What is the version of your Windows Media Player?
• Did you get any error message? If yes, kindly specify.

In the meantime, I would suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the
Windows Media player. Here are the steps how to:

• Press Win button + R on your keyboard.
• In the text box, type Control.
• On the left pane, click Turn Windows features on or off option to see Windows Features window.
• Expand Media Feature list, then uncheck Windows Media Player box. It will give a prompt message;
  this will also turn of Windows Media Center click yes as you will need
  to reinstall it after.
• Reboot PC.
• You need to reinstall Windows Media Player. Open Windows Features, tick the Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center, then install it from there.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Media Player 12 on Windows 10 - Media Database

Answering your Questions :

• Since when are you facing this issue?

Since converting to Win 10

• Did you make any changes in prior to this issue?

Not to my knowledge

As of now I suggest you to run Windows Media player settings troubleshooter and check.

Ran Windows Media Player

Looked under every setting I count find, could not find Troubleshooter options

Follow the steps below:

• Type in the search bar Troubleshooting and from the search result select
  troubleshooting.

Typing Troubleshooting in the Search Bar takes me to Windows Help



Gave
up at this point and tried the link you mentioned lower down

I also suggest you to refer the link below and check if that helps:

(Applies to Windows 10)

This implies I should not be ripping the CD

But it finds a CD in the USA, which is not my Australian CD and it will rip a couple of tracks



My problem is changing the Media Database (my words) from USA to AUS.

I feel sure it used to be something I could do in XP (it was just too good) and Win 7.

Thanks
