Re: WMP 11 problem with streaming video on Vista


I do see 7.14.10.1364, I think, at the Intel web site - does that help?

If not, I would strongly suggest you contact your vendor or Intel's support:
you're #14 or so in the newsgroups to report this problem with that chipset.
That's way way way way too high for me to think this is a coincidence. As
you're probably noticing, something is wrong here, and the sooner that gets
sorted, the happier we all are. =\

My chipset driver is version 7.14.10.1350
i think this is the latest driver
i did manage this evening to somehow (not sure how) to get both interent
explorer and firefox to play streaming video (only allowing 100% image not
full screen). but it suddenly stopped again!
my streaming TV p2p software still has black screen (though if i force the
software to play through external player VLC player it shows the video.
very odd.

Based upon all the data I'm seeing (everyone who's hitting this has an
Intel
965 Express Chipset), I'm betting that's the problem.

What driver version do you have for that? Does updating that specific
driver fix you up?

My video card is an integrated intel 965(R) express (1300??) with loads
of
available video RAM. i have found this card quite good for playing
even
the
latest games (albeit with reduced settings).
I even went as far as doing a clean install of vista which i hoped
would
clean out all my codec issues but i discovered that the streaming issue
remains even after a clean install.

getting desparate now!! i am fed up with VISTA!! i have never gone
so
long with an operating system and not been able to track down an OS
problem
somewhere on the internet
(don't get me started on acrobat reader reflow conversions to windows
mobile
devices!!!)

please help!!

One thing curious about this issue is that the video plays fine
in
the
miniature window once the WMP is minimized to the task bar. Does
the
player
re-neogiate with the server once it is swithced to or from
miniature
mode?

No, it doesn't do that.

How does the player render the video differently in window mode
and
miniature
mode?


So there's a chance that overlays may be involved here. In a
small
window (toolbar player) there seems no requirement for the
graphics
card to be involved in assisting the CPU by providing overlay
playback
because that's not CPU intensive.

In full player mode, typically overlays and/or directX video
acceleration may be provided for performance reasons.

So at that point I'd check those values are set in WMP Tools ->
Options (or More Options in WMP11) -> Performance -> Advanced

You might also want to tweak the video acceleration slider down 1
notch to see if that helps. If either of those provide the
desired
result, I'd consider updating the graphics card driver software
to
the
newest version available for your card.

Thanks for you help, Neil. Here is an URL to a video that has
the
problem
that I mentioned.
http://boss.streamos.com/wmedia/nba/nbacom/recaps/recap08_371_sacmil.asx

I was able to play all the WMV files on my hard drive without
any
problem,
so I am not sure what's causing this.

I started to have trouble viewing stream videos (WMA
format)
with WMP 11. It
used to work fine until a few weeks ago. The audio plays
fine
but I don't see
the video in the player. The interesting thing is: when I
minimize the player
to the task bar and turn on the mini-screen, the video
show
up
fine in the
tiny window. So it doesn't seem to be a codec issue.


I'm not sure I have an answer for you right away - I'll
have
to
think
about it for a bit. One thing I wonder though - does this
only
affect
videos streamed from the internet ? What happens if you
find a
Video
file (WMV) on your local hard disk somewhere - does that
play
OK
?

I am having the exact same problem as CONSOLAS. i have sound when
trying
to
watch WM stream but no picture (except in the small toolbar).
i have attempted to intall/uninstall codec packs but all to no
avail.
i
have found work arounds for some of the other apps i have which use
a
wmp
stream (to watch online tv and sports) which allows me to open up
the
stream
in vlc player. this player works fine so am at a loss to the
cause
of
the
"black" screen on wmp.
also standard wmv files play ok.
advise given on other forums have failed to solve the problem.
i have only had my present pc with vista home premium for about 2
months.
this issue did not start occuring until about 3/4 weeks ago.
unfortunately
it is not possible to discover if the installation of any other
apps
could
have caused the problem as i have been constantly installing and
uninstalling
and can't be sure of the exact date the problem started.
please somebody find the solution!!!
