Windows Media Player help...

**Kellicros** · December 21st, 2002

Well, when playing videos in fullscreen mode, is there a way to stop the button panel thingie from showing up when the mouse is moved?

JAZ · December 21st, 2002

Yeah just use mplayer2 instead of the big media player (its C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player)

D'oh...

But I prefer the new WMP. T_T

**Shiori** · December 21st, 2002

Err, nope. Just keep your mouse stationary I guess whenever watching stuff on WMP8.

I actually agree completely. I liked WPM6 back in the day, but some of the stuff in the new WMP versions just makes it worth it. It handles mislabelled and damaged files better, and the compatability rate is a hell of a lot higher. I had problems playing some DivX movies in WMP6, but I have pretty much 100% compatability with supported file types in WMP9.

I hate windows media!!! For some random reason the program crashes when ever I try to play something. Upgrading from WMP 8 to WMP 9 does nothing! Oh well, Winamp 3 and RealONE seem to do the job just fine.

Ninjaa · December 22nd, 2002

RealONE.... now that's a player I hate. I had to install it to watch Kenshin, but ordinairilly I keep it FAR away from my computer.

**Kane** · December 22nd, 2002

WMP is excellent for me. Realone is a resourse hog, and adware in the extreme. Winamp 3 has some problems with certain files. WMP 9 is fast, and compatible as hell. Zoom takes just as long to load up, if longer. I'm sticking to WMP9 and Winamp 2 myself.

Thank you Kane , this makes using wmp to watch mkovies much more enjoyable.

to Kane for his wisdom.

YEah, I had that problem myself for a while, but I couldn't find that option in the options menu. It eventually solved itself but I didn't know why.

Is WMP 9 still beta?

Ninjaa · December 24th, 2002

Kane, I just have a question. Since you seem to know all the configuration menus so well, is there any way of reconfiguring the hot keys in WMP so that when I hit the space bar it pauses the movie like it should (In WMP6)?
