Stupid media player!

Post by Vympel »

I can't watch any of the streaming videos at Comedy Central anymore either (Either: in refence to the AvP fight scene not working either). Fucking hell, ever since upgrading to Windows Media Player 9, nothing fucking works. Anyone got any ideas?

They don't even have a fucking preference page so I can change it to RealPlayer.

Get Firefox, and change it in the tools page.

tried fiddling about with the streaming video options under media player settings? it might have reverted to default after you upgraded.

there should be an option in the media player itself, barring that go under settings>control panel>internet. there should be an option in there for adjusting your streaming video options somewhere.

Nothing that looks relevant unfortunately. Man this sucks. Opera's multimedia options are also useless. It must be a problem with Media Player. Piece of shit. Could it be a codec issue?

This is shit.

How many times do I have to say this? Get a real browser, like Firefox. It's free and fast, and you can change your multimedia options till you turn blue and pass out.

Bah, you probably don't have the latest version of something. I can run Opera with WMP fine.

the latest build for Opera is 7.54, according to the main site. maybe upgrading your browser would be a good thing?
