Inbeded media won't play

richardj · Post by **richardj** » Thu Jun 29, 2006 2:39 am

OK---------SO I uninstalled Windows Media Player--totally--deleted everything--lol

CUS I got sick of it constantly wanting more codecs

Real player is now the default

BUT------When I get to certain inbeded media it shows that plugin needed box, then says a manual install is needed, which then takes me to the MS Media player download page.

WHY?? How do I overcome this??

And yes-- Real Player is checked to play all media files.

This site HERE is a perfect example
Although this is audio--most times it happens to video

When viewed using I Explorer, it works just fine.

Actualy thats a funny link to a guy trying to cancel AOL the rep got fired HAHAHAHA

have you tryed a codec pack of some sort?

like try and get em all in one shot so you dont have to get em every time you run into a different codec and put media player or some other program back on

i have always used the k-lite codec pack even when kazaa has not bin on the pc itself and have never had a problem with missing codecs of any sort ... before it was on i had alot of files that wouldnt play cuz of codecs

TRY IT if ya wanna

OK-I followed yer link & installed a cpl of packs

One of them was XP Codecs & the other

One was the mega? codec thingy

and then I put in that real alternative player,

All of this also put in a Win Media player basic

ANYWAY so now everything works--for now

YAY!!

about time ive bin some help around here and not just lookin for help

but now ive got a bit torrent problem to post up lol

did you grab basic,standard or full? .. full seems to have more then ya need but then you never have problems with missing codecs

but ya that medai player basic thing you should of had the option not to install that ^^
tho if your computer is slow thats a fairly nice program to use as its not to heavy on resorces

you should probly put in a program of your choice if you have a prefrence ^^ ive never used real alternative player but i like light alloy ... its not the best but easy on the system

also i think g-spot installs with the codecs so "IF" by chance a file wont play you can find the missing codec with that.. tho ive only needed it once ^^

well i gotta go ask for help with my torrent crap ><

K-Lite Mega Codec Pack

Features of version 1.53:

Players:

* BSplayer [version 1.39.829]
* Media Player Classic [version 6.4.9.0]

SO--YES THANKS!--YER THE MAN!

lol

SO I'm seeing if I like that BS player or not--so far it seems good--good quality when it shows the vids.

The media player only kicks in for those embeded media files that I described in my first post

BUT I'm still having a problem with .wmv format--nothing wants to play it--- STILL

From that BS player I get a file error message & it just plays the audio-no video

Like I said I also installed a pack called XP codecs-from a differant site

I have more codecs then Carter has pills

.wmv .. that is a windows media player file is it not?
and like any microsoftish product there are "rules"

OK---------SO I uninstalled Windows Media Player--totally--deleted everything--lol

im guessing its just the new windows media player is missing
so you should probly put that back on now that you have codecs??
you said it was begging for codecs ... now you can feed it lol

just audio but no video is a sign that a codec may be missing ... knowing microsoft its probly a codec that installs with the new media player only

but are all files other then .wma/.wmv working properly now?

I think I have it fixed now

I tried to open a .wmv file someone sent me and it opened in NOTEPAD

So I reassociated it with media player and so far so good

I need a Mac

Did you get that car pic link I left for you in the shout box?

I always have trouble myself with stuff like that. Stupid codecs... there's not enough standardization in the way media is formated, so there's 100's of codecs and 1000's of different formats for each one, and WMP only handles so much, and this goes for any movie player really.

And the second WMP starts searching their "database" you know it wont find anything. I never actually seen that work, this "database" is probably an empty folder on their site.

LOL-

I think it got deleated--but they are usually those that are inbedded in a web page.

I found another wmv on the web & downloaded it

It took the icon of the BSplayer

But opened in Media Player Classic

Which immediatly generated an error--I'm sorry Media player must close---

I then associated it (open with) VLC player & the icons changed & it played--

So far so good.

BUT yeah if I get it again where it won't play I'll send it to you.

Actually-if you're using Firefox, go back to the original post here & click on that link--does it play?

OR DOES THIS PLAY??---HAHAHAHAH RFLMAO
CLICK

Well-what happened was that I had to do a "dirty reinstall' of XP

This is where you put yer cd in then click -start-run & type in (your cd drive letter)

'X'I386winnt32.exe /unattend

This will 'reinstall' XP BUT it won't undo updates & hotfixes like a repair reinstall from boot will do--nor will it ask for the serial number.

It will also not fix a really corrupted system-but works most of the time(mine wouldn't even go the the dektop cus I deleted media player & a bunch of other junk)

So-I assume it reinstalled Media Player, but I have that VLC player set as the default for all extensions.

see what im thinking is your trying to stream the videos and most streamed videos are wmv and a streamed video normally opens in the browser using media player right

wmv = "W"indows "M"edia "V"ideo
wma = "W"indows "M"edia "A"udio

all other files are working right now cuz of codecs correct ?

thats why i think you need media player back on the computer

you can download it by clicking
