rekordbox problem and windows media player

hello pulse,i had a problem when i was working live,i connect my laptop to rekordbox and cdj2000,but before starting playing i was working with the windows media player that is not working normal on my laptop,so when i finished with media player it seems it still working and its process didnt stopped,so when i drag a song to a player it took a long time to start,after that the song that were playing stopped,i did a restart for my laptop to resume this problem,and now everything is normal,so don't use media player before using rekordbox,i just want to tell you about this problem,thanks.

i also have the windows media player problem with the process still running after i close it down on a windows 7 32bit machine. I have to kill the process otherwise it hogs 50% of my processor. i hadnt thought it was a conflict with rekordbox?

thats what happened with me,i have the HP i7 64bit,after i end the process and restart my laptop everything goes normal and no problem till now,even if i use soundforge to rekord live my work.

I'm not sure that this is a rekordbox problem; if you use other software does it happen?  Does rekordbox operate normally during that time?

DJ FADY

i am not saying that it's a rekordbox problem,i think the media player made the problem,when i use with soundforge everything is normal

Pulse

Okay so ... why the post?

DJ FADY

to tell the other about it if happens

I guess there may still be a couple of DJs who may accidentally open WMP.  ;)

i think its more about seeing if we get any more users who experience the wmplayer.exe process problem when they have rekordbox running on the machine. I am 90% certain its a red herring or there could be some conflicting code albeit unlikely as my process dosnt terminate even with rekordbox closed down.. i am glad DJ fady posted the problem otherwise i wouldnt have thought about the possible conflict with rekordbox  or for other djs who for some reason still have wmplayer process running.. there is a microsoft article about it (not related to rekordbox)
