Greetings Meganxx,

Welcome to the Gnutella forums!

Your problem, most likely, is an issue with CODECs (coding/de-coding files necessary to play various videos) that are not included with WMP.

I recommend you download a better player, such as POT Player, that comes packed with virtually all current CODECs. The program is free and can be easily found on the Internet.

For more info on this and other tips for the best downloads (and which ones to avoid) see: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/downlo...ad-issues.html
Be sure to scroll down to the post from LOTR.
Enjoy!

Default POT Player?

Hi Blackhorse

You know, I've never heard of the POT Player and normally, for the type of problem Meganxx has, I would recommend VLC or GOM, which I still use.

However, I will now give POT a try but I just have one small point, I came across a site that wanted to give you a downloader, along with POT, so that you would be served with adverts and other assorted rubbish, sites like these should be avoided.

Default POT Player (Part Two)

Blacknorse

I've just installed the POT Player and it has more controls than I am used to but I like it.

It seems to be clearer in tone than my other media players, obviously I cannot give a full evaluation but what I have seen I like. However, I still have to work my way around it in order to get its best but so far so good.

I'm listening to Bobby Womack's "(If You Want My Love) Put Something Down On It" at the moment and, guess what, the player auto-selected all my saved Womack tracks and is playing them just like the way we used to play albums back in the day (wow).

Currently grooving to "Across 110th St".
