Failed to initialize the encoder plugin Error
« on: February 19, 2007, 03:03:33 am »
After installing windows security updates on Windows XP SP2 I get the error "Failed to initialize the encoder plugin" wile attempting to rip to WAM lossless using the WMA v2.0.45 encoder that came with media center 11.1.201?

How do I fix this?

Reinstalling the application did not resolve the problem.

I can rip to mp3's fine. If I uncheck rip and encode simultaneously the rip finishes and then Media center crashes when it starts the encoding.

Did you install Windows Media Player v.11 too? MC11.1 is not compatible with the new WMA Losless encoder version that WMP11 installs.

A prevous thread about WMP11/WMA Lossless:
