Zero.Freedom Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Any information on the upcoming Windows Media Player and what file formats will it support? And when will it be release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commodore Max Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Nothing is known about it right now, and I myself doubt Microsoft is putting much effort into it right now. Maybe there will an update in future service packs or patches for Vista, but as of yet, nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jelly2003 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I hear that there won't be a new media player for quite a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digitalx Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 better give it a more cleaner UI WMP11 on XP so doesn't fit into XP's native UI they really need to work on that, WMP10 had it pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unimatrix Xero Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 WMP11 isnt that old and works fine, so if it isnt broke then why fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George P Global Moderator Posted January 8, 2008 Global Moderator Share Posted January 8, 2008 I'd like to see them add support for other formats, specialy in the library. Why should all my mp4 and mkv files showup under "other" that makes me have to switch from one listing with all the .avi/wmv to another just to see the rest. And i'm getting even more and more mkv files as time passes. Having to do a registry hack just to get WMP to show them in the first place under "other" is a pain.

The DirectShow filter you had to install to get them to play probably should have made that registry entry. I'd blame them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

User6060 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I'm happy with WMP11, however I wish I could fastforward/rewind with the non-native formats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iian K Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Your not going to see or hear about Windows Media for a while, the target right now is Vista, and making it better for customers. Plus, what's wrong with 11? Need I remind you that WMP 11 came out before Vista was released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
:: Lyon :: Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Well, we were happy with media player 10 until 11 came out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadrack Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 WMP11 still needs some serious polishing! WMP10 was the best and I keep that one at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1Frothy Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I don't think much of WMP. I still prefer WinAMP & VLC. So I guess WMP12 might be a Windows 7 thing then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerxes Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 It will probally come out same time as Windows 7 and be intergrated into it most likely :p However, I'm quite happy with WMP11 honistly, it just works and does what I need :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brody McKee Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Do we really need a new one? And yeah, it'll be coming. It's probably sitting in the same box as Internet Explorer 8 - oneday it'll just spring out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FATILA Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I'd much rather they updated the 6 year old media encoder tools, and added new features to wmv container. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titoist Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I personally like WMP 11, though my favorite of all time is 8! Remeber 8? The one that was on XP for like a month before 9 replaced it! Most people probably never even heard of it, since by the time that the majority went to XP from 2000 or 98, WMP 9 was already everywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titoist Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Windows Media Player Evolution - Part 1 Note: I can't find any screens of WMP 1-4 Here is WMP5, 6, 7. These were primarily on Win 95-2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperAFK Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I liked wmp 10 alot, and WMP was a massice improvement all around, it's very fast, feature rich and has an awesome GUI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
