Windows Forum / Windows Media / Player / May 2008OGG Files not showing in library
Hi, Sorry if this has been asked before but I've been trawling through th forums and can't find an answer. I've got Media Player 11.0.6000.6344 and am running Vista. I can pla .ogg files fine but when I try and update the library it does not ad the ogg files I have into it. Any help much appreciate -- thegrimbl http://forums.techarena.i This is a bug or limitation in your OGG filter. Your OGG filter did not make the registry entries they need to make to have the files show up in the player properly. It would take them maybe thirty minutes to do that, and only they are in a position to do that. On the plus side, this is pretty clearly documented on MSDN.microsoft.com , so it should be trivial for them to add this feature when you ask them.  SignatureSpeaking for myself only. See http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html for some helpful WMP info.

If this is all down to registry entries then it should be fairly straightforward to fix up using regedit. I've tried, but not succeeded. If anyone else has found the touchstone, (in my case to get .oga Ogg Vorbis files added to a WMP11 library) then I'd be most grateful to see a reg file of the necessary changes. SignatureSteve Swift http://www.swiftys.org.uk/swifty.html http://www.ringers.org.uk I've posted it up repeatedly. Doing so again would again prove that my supplying this information is a useless way to propagate this information versus having the OGG/OGA filter provider actually put that information into the registry. The MSDN page they need is here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb262659(VS.85).aspx It's pretty trivial. It would continue to be sad if everybody kept doing this themselves versus asking the plug-in/filter provider to add that to their registration. =) SignatureSpeaking for myself only.

Precisely. I followed your instructions last time around and the result was that it didn't work, obviously because I made a mistake. Which is why I was fishing for a .reg file, which would be less open to error. SignatureSteve Swift http://www.swiftys.org.uk/swifty.html http://www.ringers.org.uk Hm. Since you started out a new thread, I lost the context of that old thread. I'd strongly suspect that searching for "OGA AUDIO PERCEIVEDTYPE" would find this data. I would also suggest that you asking here is a waste of time for everyone else using that OGG filter, and that asking the *filter provider* to add this support and then having them inquire here if they had questions would be such a more effective use of time for all involved. Imagine you and others never having to think about this again. =D SignatureSpeaking for myself only. See http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html for some helpful WMP info.

However, the search string you suggested in a later post took me to http://deadbeef.narod.ru/faq/files/oggwmp.reg which seems to have fixed the problem. It adds about 30 values and 8 keys, and I decided to do it manually rather than just applying the REG file (just so I could see if I'd be overwriting anything interesting. As it happened, I was. Nero seems to have registered an interest in oga files; presumably their media player. I've probably picked up flac support as a side-effect. SignatureSteve Swift http://www.swiftys.org.uk/swifty.html http://www.ringers.org.uk You're in business, now we only have to worry about every other user of that OGA filter and then we're good. ;-) Good work, though. =) -Zach SignatureSpeaking for myself only.
