Windows 10: Yet Another Windows Media Player Conundrum . . .

Aloha !

My Moms has a PC with all here photo's on it. When ever she came back from a holiday, she would put the photo's on the PC, sort them out and then watch them with friends on het Sony TV in the livingroom...

You guessed it. This mysteriously stopped working... but not entirely ?

The setup:

• Win 10 PC - With photos (Windows 10 Pro 19041.450)
• Win 10 Laptop
• Sony TV
• My own Win 10 laptop in het network.

The files :
Code:

The weird things :

1. All the laptops and the TV can 'see' the computer
2. All the laptops and the TV can see the 'Dropbox' folder and view the pictures
3. None of the other folders like 'Vacation', 'Scanned items' or 'Other folder' are visible

It gets even weirder :
It works now and then. Somtimes we can view pictures in ALL folders and sometimes just the above.
The last time we could see ALL the folders, but no content.


I have searched for weeks at and end and frankly I have NO IDEA what is wrong...
...Uhmm ? Help ? Please ? Anyone ?


Cheeeeeeeeeeeeers,


& Mom

New Windows Media Player Plugin for Firefox

Anyone who uses Windows Vista and Mozilla Firefox may be pleased to hear that the Windows Media Player team has now released a plugin for Firefox that should allow the browser to play WMP content on websites. Here are the steps to get it working:

• Installation of the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin may require administrative access to your PC. It is recommended that you close all other open browser windows before continuing with the installation.
• Click the Install button to automatically download and install the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin.
• Depending on your security settings, you may see a Security Warning dialog box. Click Install to install the plugin.

There is a known issue if you are using Firefox version 2.0.0.3 on Windows Vista with the installer failing with error code -203. To work around this simply restart Firefox (you will get a notification that Windows Vista will be changing the Firefox compatibility settings) and then install again - the second time should succeed.

The download is available here, and the new plugin works on all versions of Windows XP and Windows Vista (although it is mostly intended for Vista, as that currently has no WMP support in Firefox).
