Synopsis:
I'm trying to play a video file that I have previously recorded on another machine. I select PLAY on the VIDEOS screen after a few seconds the system returs control but the video doesn't start.

I'm a new user and just upgraded from RC2 to RC3, it is quite possible this is a set up error, but I repeated what I did on the previous version.

Many Thanks

Steve

Gives all the indocation that you don't have the codec installed for that particular video, try using ffdshow, this allowed me to play a previously inaccessible xvid I had.

Thanks for your reply.

I did some more testing after posting, and tried the video directly in WMP10, it requested the codec for download, which failed, however, I tried the same file in another player and it worked without problem!!!

I've had something similar with WMP10 before, frightened the life out of me, as I had loads of recorded TV that it looked like I couldn't play :wink:

Is it possible the codec is being locked by something else? When I've had this issue on WMP10 I've also been recording at the same time, I don't think I've had it when I wasn't!

Regards

Steve

Could be a conflict if you've downloaded some codecs or installed some software recently, you could always try a system restore back to when it was working or rather more drastically a complete install. I was having significant problems with my system. bit the bullet installed tinyxp with wmp, dx9.0, .NET and a few other bits and bobs then MP and now everything is hunky dory. But then this is a dedicated MP box with nothing else on it.
