Got a reallllllllly annoying "feature?" of WMP... Playback pauses when i plug/unplug a USB device...
Just updated my iphone, which means the usb is (un)plugged several times... makes watching video playback rather annoying!
(and no, i dont want to change player, so dont suggest that ...)
I love WMP, other than this!!
Running windows 7 x64...
Any suggestions very very welcome!
(i believe it does it when you insert a dvd too, but i do it so rarely and i dont currently have one to hand..)
Regards

Anyhoo, looks like someone sorted it here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-hardware/win-media-player-stops-worki...
Second reply seems to nail it.
Hope that helps

The googling just suggested i "press play" again, rather infuriating.
i quite like WMP - whats the point in installing more media players ? windows has one..
Im annoyed enough that you need a secondary player for blu-ray...
I'll give it a try later (dont have usb to hand currently!)

Yes, it does have a "graphic equalizer", and a Playlist setup too...

Quote I quite like WMP.... however it does not support the MP4 or MP5 files
With a codec pack it does ?
And ive set the 'service' to disabled, (even tho it wasnt running anyway) and (after finding that it wasnt running) it doesnt disable the "pause" on usb insert.
I know its a 'feature' that its looking for content, i just what it to hush and do as its told
Regards

I'm getting to the point where im so annoyed, i dont care if i swap player
Does GOM Literally play the "entire" video without interface? like WMP does.. i like the overlay'd buttons, which then hide to reveal the video... as it lets me make (very small) videos to be played in the background (e.g. if im playing Football Manager in a window :D)
Regards
Edit:
Whilst ive got a 'skin' which shows GOM to look like WMP... the buttons dont auto hide! which means ive got 2cm+ of screen space wasted under the video at all times! ANNOYING
Suggestions?

ETA: Or media player classic. That tends to play well with codec packs if you need them. I prefer VLC though, because it comes with all that built in (plus it'll play iso's without them having to be mounted).

Both players have their buttons "under" the video window (whereas WMP keeps it neat inside the video window which then hides...)
WMP still my favourite

GOM player.... right click on the bottom tools.... and then select "Full Screen"..... all disappear until you "mouseover" the area....
