Can't open media player

I downloaded Windows Media Player and now when I try to open the program I want to see, I get "There is no default application specified to open the document 'Windows Media.sitx." What am I doing wrong?

You need to download and install Stuffit Expander, which is available free from Stuffit.com in order open the download.
But note, WMP for Macs has been discontinued by Microsoft, and is recommending everyone move to the free Flip4Mac QuickTime plugin, available from Flip4Mac.com

  • Why can't JavaFx media player play .m4a file on windows xp sp3?

    Hi All
    Why can't JavaFx media player play .m4a file on windows xp sp3? I got an exception that 'Decoder is not available' when I played m4a file on windows xp sp3(it didn't work on vista either), but it works fine on windows 7 , so I guess Javafx media player needs some system dependencies or resources when it plays media files, do you have any suggestions for this ?

    To allow playback on Windows XP, you need to install the correct software in addition to JavaFX.
    Once the system has been upgraded to meet the minimum requirements for playback of a particular type of video encoding, then playback should work fine.
    See the JavaFX Media portion of the JavaFX 2.2 System Requirements:
    http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/system_requirements_2-2/jfxpub-system_requirements_2-2.htm
    Note, m4a is just a container file and data streams inside the container format need to match a supported JavaFX format for playback to work:
    http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/scene/media/package-summary.html
    Some approaches you could take:
    - additionally encode the media in VP6 format and fallback to VP6 playback if H.264 playback fails.
    - use a 3rd party player like VLC.
    - don't bother supporting Windows XP video playback.
    - direct a browser to a divx install page if playback fails (http://www.divx.com/).

  • How can the Windows Media Player 12 be made to play WVC210 .avi files?

    I just built a new computer and it won't play the motion captured videos of the WVC210. It has Windows 7 Home Premium as the operating system. My machines running XP play the WVC210 files GREAT. Is there a codec I can add to the WMP12 so that it will play the .avi files. I have 3 cameras around the property, 2 WVC210 and 1 WVC200. 1 camera has the audio turned off so switching to MP4 (no audio) made that work OK. But the camera in the office I need to have audio and would rather stick to WMP over something like VLC. VLC plays the files fine but I much prefer WMP. I'm hopeing to find out how to have Windows Media Player 12 play the .AVI files from the WVC210 cameras. Any Help??

    There appears to be issues with codecs on WMP 12 and Windows 7
    AND\OR your WMP is missing the necessary codecs.
    Google the Net and you should find different things to try
    for the WMP 12.

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Troubleshoot-problems-in-Windows-Media-Player
    It looks like additional codecs may needed to download with WMP12 and windows 7

  • Can't open Quicktime player after installing

    Hi, I did a search and couldn't find this problem being directly addressed so hopefully someone can enlighten me. I had an older version of Quicktime on my computer that just stopped working properly (it may have been after I upgraded Internet Explorer), so I uninstalled it from my computer, downloaded the Quicktime installer for 7.1.5.120 and went though the installation process. It seemed to install OK, said to click the finish button, and there was an icon on my desktop (though nothing in the system tray).
    When I tried to double click on the Quicktime Player icon I would get the window hourglass for a few seconds and then nothing. It won't open the player (and the same thing happens if I try to open through the program menu). I tried to double click on a .mov file, which then opens up the internet browser for some reason, followed by warnings from Windows that it has restricted the page from running active scripts, and if I overide the warning it opens a page with a broken quictime logo, then says there's been an error and explorer needs to shut down.
    I've done complete uninstalls, even manually deleting left over files and then reinstalled with no luck. If anyone has any suggestions I would be appreciative! Thanks

    In c:\documents and settings it shows a default user folder and an owner folder. When I turn on the computer it shows Owner. I'm the only one who uses the computer, so I don't need to sign on or anything. Do I need to delete the default user folder? Thanks for taking the time to help me!

  • Where can I get media player 8.0 ?

    I am trying to play a video clip with media player 9.0. I read the postings in the user forum that 9.0 does not show the video when used from LabVIEW and that the corrective action is to downgrade to media player 8.0. Where can I get this player , and can it coexist with media player 9.0. I've searched all over the 8.0 and can't seem to find it anywhere - thanks

    You are right... Seems like Media Player 8.0 is well hidden by MS.
    Will version 7.1 do the trick?
    If so follow this link:
    link
    The only reference to version 8.0 that I found was for a palm-PC.
    The full download of Media Player at the MS website does not list version 8.0.
    See link: link
    According to some download websites... and I quote: "You won't see a link for Version 8.0 here. Windows Media Player 8.0 is NOT FREE. It's only available with Windows XP Home or Windows XP Professional."
    I should ask this question. Which OS are you running? Is it Win-XP? If so, it should be part of your installation CD.

    This post is so old but I will reply anyway. I came across this problem after updating my N95 8GB to 20.0.016 software.
    solution is:
    1. In any of the folders on your Pc go to Tools>Folder options>View and make sure than "show hiden files is ticked.
    2. Connect your phone to Pc as Mass Storage
    3. Go to folder "private"
    4. Find and delete folder "101FFC31"
    Problem solved.
    Now if you go to open Musi player it will say 0 songs and it will rebuild corrupted library.
    I took me 3 houres to find it on the net than I hope it will be helpfull for you guys.
    Dear friend,
    I'm having this same problem!!
    I'll try it when I got home, and I hope it works.
    I have a N95 (classic) with a 4 GB micro sd card!!
    Thanks!

  • File Error: wrong type   can't open media file

    After capturing my film using Final Cut Pro,"Capture Now" I can't open the film file. It seems the film was caputured onto my Mac notebook in a file format Final Cut Pro doesn't recognize or can't open. When I try to open the file the following error message pops up: "File Error: Wrong Type".
    It seems the format of this media file is AV or avi (the name of the media file is "Untitled - AV". It's not a .fcp file.
    I tried to open it with Quicktime or other programs, but without success, no program can open it.
    I appreciate your help!

    I followed the instructions in the article AppleCare Technical Support emailed: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302337 . It helped to delete the User Preferences and to remove receipts and to reinstall the entire Final Cut Pro Studio software. I think what really helped was to update the latest software versions (Final Cut Pro 5.1.4).
    Thank you very much!

  • Is there a good music player app for windowsphone? I can't get media player to sync with my phone.

    I want something where I can buy music online and sync to my surface pro and Nokia Icon like Itunes, I was using Amazon cloud player on my Android but now I have the Windows phone instead and it seems they have no support for Windows phone. Anything like that available for windows phone. I was hoping I could use windows media player but I can't find it for windows phone, is that possible? seems very odd there is no WMP for Windows phone.

    Xbox music comes standard on your Windows Phone and as part of Windows 8.X.
    There is also a Nokia music service for your phone and a corresponding app for Windows 8.X.
    There are be others, including an apps  that may access iTunes. (I have never used iTunes)
    Get creative in your searches in the Store on your phone and the store on your Windows 8 computer.

  • Can't open Quicktime Player

    Every time I try to open Quicktime I get this message: "The last time you opened QuickTime Player, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its windows again?" Whether I choose "Don't reopen" or "Reopen", the application doesn't work.

    In c:\documents and settings it shows a default user folder and an owner folder. When I turn on the computer it shows Owner. I'm the only one who uses the computer, so I don't need to sign on or anything. Do I need to delete the default user folder? Thanks for taking the time to help me!

  • Graphic converter as default to open media player - why?

    Certain downloaded media files can only be opened by first going through graphic converter as the designated default. I want to completely by pass graphic converter (don't understand its value in this instance) and have the downloaded file upon via Real Player (including alias in dock).
    I guess the place to start is to un-default graphic converter - but how? Nothing in the apps preferences that suggest how or the user's manual.
    Any help appreciated
    Mcthomas

    Hi McThomas...
    You can change the application associated with a file using the Info window.
    1. Select a document in the Finder.
    2. Choose File > Get Info (Command-I).
    3. In the Info window, click the "Open with" disclosure triangle.
    4. Choose an application from the "Open with" pop-up menu.
    The next time the selected file is opened in the Finder, it will be opened with the chosen application.
    5. If you want all files of the same type to be opened with the chosen application, click Change All.
    When making changes to a specific file, the change is stored in the file itself. When using the Change All button, it updates the binding for the active user, and stores it in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist. In other words, if one user changes the application association for a specific set of files, those changes do not affect other users on the computer.
    Why Graphic Converter is set to open audio files, I have no idea, but i might just be a corrupt cache file. Therefore If you need to reset the system-wide bindings, discard the database (named com.apple.LaunchServices-userID-based value.csstore) from /Library/Caches and restart the computer. You can delete the user-set bindings file as well.
