| | Why are my TIF files not in media library? If I right click and use the 'Open With' option Media player will display my tif files, as well as Photo Gallery, but they will not go into the library. If I rename the file from .tif to .jpg it will load into the library and display the file fine. The files are tif not jpg. I would think I shouldn't have to rename the file to get this to work. I want to use Media Center and if there not in the library they won't be in Media Center. Please help. |

| | Re: Why are my TIF files not in media library? The library under Pictures not Music. Click Library then select Pictures in media player. This library appears to be the same as Picture Library in Media Center which I can not get my tif pictures into. I have tried in Media Center under Library Setup, Add folder to watch. Media Center will not see my tifs and will not load them into the library, but will if a rename the file to .jpg. Why? "zachd [MSFT]" wrote: Quote: > > They're picture pictures, not album art.

Yes, I'm familiar with what you're referring to, and am friends with the people who wrote the code you're running here. =) The *Pictures* node in the library does not include *Photos*.

| | Re: Why are my TIF files not in media library? Media Center and the Player are using the same database. Yes, the delineation again is "Picture Library" vs "Photo Library". The files are supported and should work fine, they simply are not candidates to be added to the library, sorry. The suggestion has been passed on. =) -- Speaking for myself only.

| | Re: Why are my TIF files not in media library? I'm not trying to do anything but help the OP. I assume the OP wants to view pictures on a TV.
