Since Win 10 update I can longer play MP4 videos I used to be able to play in Win 7, using Windows Media Player.
Why has this function stopped? I thought win 10 was an "improvement".
This is the error message - Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file.
In windows 7 I could play a DVD in the media player, can't make it work in Windows10? Have some YouTube Video's and they play in Media Player but can't get DVD to play. Don't see in the player where I can go to the DVD Drive ?
View 9 RepliesOK, so once again, Windows Media Player will not play certain filetypes, specifically .flv files, despite the fact that it recently would play them.
I have the k-lite codec pack
Any solution other than "Uninstall Windows 10"?

View 2 RepliesI'd like to know why windows media player won't play my media files after a reboot. Didn't change codecs. Didn't delete anything.
I did try to restore cos I suddenly couldn't go online but the restore said that it didn't work so I assume nothing was changed
Same exact file, same folder, now won't play.
Oh, and Chrome now won't open. Makes the little "timer" spinny icon thing, then that stops, program isn't open. I know that's a different problem but it started at the same time
It's extremely frustrating to switch to what you think will be a new and improved os and have these things happen
And it's not like I have an old printer that won't work now or something. This is windows media player
Trying to play a movie off of my E: drive and it plays with good audio and video for about 3 seconds. Then it starts acting like it's buffering from the internet and pausing for several seconds before playing again...ultimately crashing the program with an error message telling me to contact the maker of my Xbox for support. This is a PC I built without scavenging XBoxes or any other video game consoles, even the dust that ended up in the case is original. Why the hell does it think I need to contact Xbox.com in order to solve this problem? Further more, this movie has been on my hard drive for years and hasn't had problems playing until Windows 10.
The exact text of the error is here:
Can't play.
Please try again. If the problem continues, visit Xbox.com to check for guidance.

View 2 RepliesIt seems my media player is corrupted since a previous update. It will not play videos without looking like Dr Timothy Leary made them. Is there a place I can download Media Player 12? I went to the Windows download pages but it never has a trigger to download even though its entitled Window Media Player 12 Download, it just brags how great it is.

View 6 RepliesWin 10 - DVD Player, Windows Media Player not compatible with Win 10? This is a shock!! I downloaded the Windows Media Player from the Store and it played the DVD once. When it did not work a second time, I spent 45 mins waiting for Microsoft support and an hour on the phone. They confirmed that the Windows Media Player is not compatible with Win 10. I got my money back but no one could give me a Media Player that is compatible with Win 10.
View 9 RepliesJust out of curiousity, do you prefer using Groove Music or WMP for playing music files? I have hardly used Groove Music except for certain file types. WMP is still good as ever Is Microsoft going to provide future updates for it?

Today I've just upgrade my PC to Windows 10, everything is alright except when I play media files(.mp3, mp4, wav,.....) by Windows Media Player, it starts to run slowly, and the sound is quite bad, I almost can't hear the sound, and the video is super lag, like watch video in low connection, I don't know why cause this.
If this cause by driver, can you give me a link to download it ?(I use driver provide by Microsoft and HP).I use win 8.1 driver for my Windows 10 PC because Hp still not public win 10 driver so far..My product is Hp ProBook 650 G1, i often download driver from this site: URL...
p/s : If I play media files by 3rd party software (like PowerDVD, Itunes,...) the sound and video is normal, it only happen when I play Windows Media Player, and also, watching video by Edge is super lag, super bad sound, but Firefox ad chrome is normal
After upgrading to Windows 10, Windows Media Player no longer will play .mp4 or .wmv videos. They played fine in Windows 7, but now, when I try to play a video in WMP, I get an error message saying that WMP is unable to play the file. I am using the latest Shark007 codecs which say are fully tested and supported for Windows 10. Is there a newer version of WMP for Windows 10, or is there something else I need to do?
View 8 RepliesRecently I am notice Media Player is crashing while Groove cannot even find a single media file out of 100GB music. Audacious stupid Groove asks: "My dear please tell me where to search for your lovely music files?", but then turns over and goes to sleep. Very disappointing. Now I cannot play any music neither by Media Player nor Groove.
