  • There's no way to force WMP to pick up all file types. For starters, it won't know which unrecognized file types are music and which are video. Support needs to be added in the registry on a per-file type basis. Usually the codec installer takes care of this. Which specific file types do you need to have picked up by WMP, and which codecs did you install for playback? Commented Jul 21, 2014 at 21:33
  • Filetypes like MKV & OGV. Would I be able to add it to the Windows Registry manually to let WMP recognize it? I found another solution to this problem, but knowing I can do this would be nice for the future if I ever need to use WMP again.
