Media Player 11 and AutoPlaylists

[vinodh]

I installed Media Player 11 on my MCE 2005 system, because of the great way WMP11 handles album art. When I started up MCE, after the WMP11 installation, Media Center began to re-add all my music from the My Music folder and everything seemed fine. However, when I tried to use one of the autoplaylists, ié [music I listen to on weekends, Fresh Tracks, etc] I noticed that all the autoplaylists are gone. There still is a tab for playlists, and my manual playlists are there, but the autoplaylists....Gone!

After searching everywhere for help, I decided to remove WMP11 and revert to ver 10. I followed the this procedure:

GOTO ->

C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallwmp11$\spuninst\spuninst.exe

after the rollback is complete… a restart might be required… then afterwards…

C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallWMFDist11$\spuninst\spuninst.exe

again a restart might be needed….

After that, WMP10 was back, and, my playlists were also back. Unfortunately, some of the album art, that was installed after WMP11 was installed, was removed during the rollback.

Any feedback/help regarding using WMP11 in MCE 2005 will be appreciated.
