Windows Media Player 12 - WMV bug
hi all
i am trying to play WMV files in Windows Media Player 12, and i get the following error.
the file that you are attempting to play has an extension (.wmv) which does not match the file format. Playing the file may may result in unexpected behaviour.
Do you want the player to try to play this content?
when i click on yes it just loops back to the same message.
1) This happens with ALL wmv files
2) This happens both when i try to open the file from within WMP or via explorer (open with)
3) when i browse for the file from within WMP the thumbnail shows up as the first frame of the movie, as it does with all other playable formats.
4) WMV files play just fine with Media Player Classic, VLC, BS Player Pro, and even ACDSee Photo manager. in fact everything i have plays it except WMP 12.
Note: i have the latest K-Lite Codec pack installed.
any ideas anybody?
