    Media Player 11 xvid issue


    I have Vista Prem with MP 11. I have an issue with my tv shows playlist.
    I have playlists I watch all the time on this computer. But for some
    reason on this one tv show I have some of my episodes are being
    displayed in playlist by their title and not their filename.... as many
    know not many people tag Xvid files so not naming all of them. I just
    want media player to show in list pane the file name.... not the title
    name......how do I change this? I do not know how it got switched but
    somehow it has. If I log onto my other Username on this PC and load the
    same playlist the episodes are labeled correctly by the filename and not
    the title tag.

    I don't believe there's a way to turn off WMP showing the title metadata for
    those files. You could use a RIFF/AVI tagging utility to fix those, but WMP
    doesn't offer that functionality. =\

    Speaking for myself only.
    See http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html for some helpful WMP info.

    Re: Media Player 11 Playlist Xvid issue


    well like I said though... i have two usernames on this Vista Premium PC
    on one username my wife's, the files show up by filename and doesnt pull
    metadata, but on the username I use it does pull metadata on the exact
    same files


    Here is a bit more info I just found.... on the username thats pulling
    the metadata.... i can check the little stars to give ratings..... on
    the other username I cannot...how do u turn that off? maybe that is what
    is doing it
