No, the problem is because you file versions 10.0.0.3646 on your system, but
you must have 10.0.0.3802 in order to play back the content you are trying
to play. That is the sole and only problem you are facing, and it can
pretty much only be sourced from a "rogue" codec pack install.
If the reregistration of the DLLs from your c:\WMCodecs directory did not
work................
you can *try* copying those DLLs to your system32 directory on top of the
existing DMOs. This would normally fail, but you may be able to get away
with this since the 3802 DMOs may still have entries in the system catalog
store. I don't think so - I think you need the 4332 MCE versions, but it's
worth a shot.
If that fails, then the next option is to look at the MCE CD and figure out
where *it* stored the 4332 binaries. Or heck - just search your hard drive
in full for wmadmod.dll - you want the 433x version. =\

OK, I've tried all that and some more ideas based on it, but still no luck
at
all. As for having the Windows Media Player **9** Codec Package installed,
is
it not just more the case that it's asking for the Windows Media Audio 9
codec because that was what was used to encode these files?
If I look at the properties for one of these DRM files from my XP laptop
(where it works OK) then it lists the encoding format as Windows Media
Audio
9, 128 bit etc. Files that I encode myself from my CD collection (using
the
MCE PC) work perfectly wherever I play them and show as Windows Media
Audio
9.1 encoded.
Any other ideas?
Out of frustration I even tried an 'upgrade' install of MCE over my
existing
PC. Didn't take long and worked OK, but had no effect.

Well, there's no real redistributable for the 3802 codecs that will work
for
you, since you're on a 4332 system.
Do the following hideous steps:
* Download WMP10 from http://windowsmedia.com/download
* Run the following in a cmd.exe window (assuming that mp10setup.exe is
in
your desktop directory):
===
mkdir \test
desktop\mp10setup.exe /Q /C /T:c:\test
mkdir \WMCodecs
copy \test\*dmod.dll \WMCodecs
for %a in (\WMCodecs\*.dll) do regsvr32 /s %a
===
At that point you can delete the \test directory and the installer. You
*should* be fine at this point, but YMMV.
Note that if you rollback from WMP11 or any other system update, the old
3646 codecs in system32 will be reinstated and you'll need to reregister
your "private" 3802 WMCodecs codecs.

I have never manually installed the Windows Media Player 9 Codec
package,
so
have no idea what this is doing on my system. Also, as this was not a
deliberate or manual installaiton I can't roll back using system
restore
as
I'd have no idea where to go back to - not to mention I've had this
problem
for some time.
Is there really no other answer? System Restore is a useful facility,
but
it's hardly an ideal fix

It'll produce the results you're seeing... you have the 10.0.0.3646
versions
of the codecs, which are not compatible with MCE 2005. That Codec
Package
should never be installed to a system that has 10.0.0.3802 components.
=\
Can you rollback using System Restore to before that package was
installed?

Hi, I've got Windows Media Centre 2005 installed with all the latest
Windows
udpates applied. Whenever I try to play any DRM based WMA or WMV
files
I
get
the appropriate license acquired but then the files won't play.
Windows
Media
Player goes to try to download an audio codec (always fails on an
audio
codec, whether playing WMA or WMV) and gives me error code C00D10D1,
codec
161.
I can however play the proteced files via Windows Media Connect or
Windows
Media Centre Extender on the Xbox 360 (from my MCE PC), so it
doesn't
seem
to
directly be a license issue, despite only affecting DRM based
audio/video
files.
Any ideas?
