Windows Media File Converted for Hoster Use
Greetings!
Does anyone know of a solution that will render a Windows Media Audio/Video file usable by Hoster software?

Thanks in advance.

Gwen

Re: Windows Media File Converted for Hoster Use
Hoster should play all wma & wmv without any conversion.

Re: Windows Media File Converted for Hoster Use
Roy,
Thanks so much. I really do appreaciate the advice, guidance and support you provide.

I understand you to say Hoster should play all WMA & WMV without any conversion, but I do not know how to make these files available to be selected as part of a Hoster "playlist", for example.

I would like to have WMA or WMV files display on my monitor screen the same as files having type of CDG, MP3G, etc., but I do not see where WMA or WMV file types are available as an option to import into my Hoster song database, that is, using the Hoster import (from hard drive) feature.

Please advise.

Thanks.

Re: Windows Media File Converted for Hoster Use
GwenButler,

Click on the Video button ( K-Oke --- Audio --- Video ) in top right part of the controls screen... and point to the file where your Video files are kept, and click OPEN... If you wish to import them and index them... then use the VIDEO button, the last of the indexing formats, in the indexing screen...

Re: Windows Media File Converted for Hoster Use
Greetings,
I was able to successfully load a video onto my Hoster song list (see attachment). While the audio portion of the file works fine, I am unable to see any of the video during the performance (black screen).

FYI - This particular file plays just fine (audio and video) when executing via Windows Media Player.

Thanks in advance.

Have you added the K-Lite codecs that is recommended when you install Hoster? I believe you need this to play videos in Hoster.

Re: Windows Media File Converted for Hoster Use
WaltR,
Thanks for your support. I installed my version of Hoster in 2008 so I can not remember if K-Lite codecs were added at that time.

Do you know of a method I can use to verify this requirements, or is it just as easy to add (or "re-add") K-Lite codecs at any time?


Thanks in advance,
Gwen

K-Lite Codecs should be updated from time to time. Go to the MTU support page and select your version of windows. If you go through the recommended changes that should be made to Windows, there is a section to go to K-Lite Codecs. Upgrade to the latest version (not the ones that say "Mirror").

WaltR,
Thanks again for your support. I have not had a chance to sit down and address this need yet.

Hopefully I will get a chance soon.

Best,

Gwen,

We you say you are unable to see, do you mean on your preview screen or on the singer's monitor?
