Real Network Wont play WMV

Recently changed from Firefox to Safari. With Safari Trying to play a WMV file, Realplayer loads home page but I get a pop up box "Windows Media Player cannotplay the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not supportthe codec that was used to compress the file". This WMV video plays in Firefox, IE9 and Opera. What is missing in Safari 5.0.5 that it wont play the file in Real Player? Note: It did play with Windows Media but I changed it to Real and now I cant get it to stop trying Real Player, so I cant play any thing from this site. Unless there is a fix for "Real Player" which I like the best how do I change it to play with Windows Media player? I will have to change browsers if I cant get it fixed as this is a site I pay for Stock information so I use it daily and have to have it working.
Thanks for any help

I do not like IE 8 or 9 and only use them if I have to. Cant figure out how to use Real Player in IE9 anyway, it only wants to use Win Media which I don't care for either. I really like "Real" for many types of video. I have used Firefox for years but recently started having problems with it so I looked for another browser. Liked Safari so decided to use it. Any way to get Real Networks to work in Safari?

HT201272 some games already purchased, wont play like skies of glorys and red tails, and being billed again for items already purchased

why are some games like skies of glory and red tails will download then start with the titles but wont play, they played before the last update IO 6. I have deleted them and reloaded them, still wont play.
and when restoring previous purchased items I am being billed again!!! seriously peed off!
any clues

I know this stuff is 3 months old but I just got mine and hadn't yet used the pin function so now I know.
I hope you are right Nancy that it will have updates, but I really doubt it. This is the norm for Microsoft when stuff they put out bombs. Dish Network had a DVR receiver many years ago that had Microsoft software installed and it was buggy to say the least. They updated it a few times but then abandon it. For a few years Microsoft wouldn't release the code to Dish Network to allow DN to fix the bugs. It was a real "Hate Microsoft" time for those users. DN had to put out their own coded DVR receivers and let the Microsoft ones die.
I think VZ made a deal with MS and removed the stuff MS wasn't supporting. Then VZ put them out without needing a data package to unload them.

QT wont play certain files all of a sudden

I updated my QT 7.2.0 to 7.2.2 and QT wont play my mp4 files, I get an error saying ' movie could not be opened an invalid sample description was found in the movie' . Also it wont play the audio on some formats and I can't get ant audio from youtube. I have flip 4 mac. real audio. m player and divx installed, and I also downloaded some codec as directed by apple when it wouldn't play a certain file. can I go back to my original qt as it was working great. I previously bought QT pro but also had it when I bought 4.5 hd and have just upgraded to FCS 2 can I just reinstall qt from my FCS 2 dvd. And how or should I delete the codecs maybe they are messing QT up.

Thanks, by that I prosume you mean all divx codecs. But does that include x in the extention name ie npUpload.xpt . Also when I go to you tube for example the film plays but no sound. I downloaded vlc which will play my .mp4 files but with no sound. I Work on Logic Studio so I use a motu 896 converter but it does'nt seem to be that. Can I just reinstall QT 7.2 from FCS2 as that was working perfect. Once again Thanks

9 songs wont play

Hi... just bought the album "Capture/Release" by The Rakes.
And for some reason I can't play 9 songs: 22 Grand Job, Open Book, The Guilt, Binary Love, We Are All Animals, Violent, Terror!, Work Work Work (Pub Club Sleep), All Too Human.
These songs are on my iPod but when I press play nothing happens. While the 3 remaining songs (Strasbourg, Retreat, T Bone) everything is normal.
I emailed support... and no offense to them but they gave me a crappy service. Maybe they think everybody has an iPod Shuffle, by just giving me the iPod Reset Utility for that model.
So I tried to reset my iPod through iTunes and didn't work.
Then I used another iPod... and songs wont play.
I emailed support again and apparently they are just going to ignore me.
So can you help me?!
Sorry if I sound rude BTW.

Hi-
This probably doesn't help, per say, but it'll enlighten you.
I got an iTunes gift card for xmas for $25 this past season. I used it, tried to download my movies, nothing happened. When I went back to look, my account claimed I DID download them. Being that you can't download more than once, I obviously couldn't try again. So $25 went to Apple and I didn't get a single leased tune, TV show, or movie from them. I saw leased because it's not truly ownership, they have too many limitations that real ownership doesn't contain.
So long story short, I contacted Apple a few times and they've ignored me as well. I even told them I've spoken to my attorney and promised suit for not just this incident, but incidences that have cost me thousands of dollars in the past. Would you believe they still haven't replied? Let's hope they have a good excuse in court.
Feel free to email me directly with questions:

We have a movie downloaded on a laptop connected to the internet pluged into our router in the basement and an apple tv upstairs trying to play the movie through home sharing but it wont play. can anyone tell me whats wrong?

we have a movie downloaded on a laptop connected to the internet pluged into our router in the basement and an apple tv upstairs trying to play the movie through home sharing but it wont play. can anyone tell me whats wrong? it comes to the last loading page where it shows the desscription of the movie befor it acually plays.

It can come about without any change done by the user, and it's not just from other networks. The placement of the router can also affect performance. Also make sure router is up to date.
Apart from that would be the reboots.

Video wont play

copy movie from laptop thru memory card and it wont play .in my N8 mobile.

Hi eduardoapalla
Thank you for your 1st post and welcome to the forums.
What file format are you trying to play? Please be sure that the video file is the correct format and is compatible with the N8 playback (DivX/XviD/MP4/H.264/H.263/WMV player)
Your memory card must also be FAT32 format if it is not already.
Press the 'Accept As Solution' icon if I have solved your problem, Kudos my post if my advice has helped you!

Video wont play from Itunes, HELP?

Bought video from Itunes and wont play just black screen, any help would be great thanks everyone!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You might check on your network router to see if IPv6 is turned on, if so try turning it off.

Cannot play .wmv format files

Posted problem a while ago with a number of suggestions for which I was thankful BUT nothing seemed to help. I finally gave up in frustration thinking
that since most of the files were coming from Acquisition that they might be
corrupted. However so many bad files didn't make sense.
I've had friends on PCs send me .wmv files and the same error message occurs.
I have VLC Player, MPlayer and RealPlayer and none of them work for .wmv files.
ORIGINAL TOPIC: when I drag an ..wmv file into the windows media player
icon, the window will open up BUT then an error message will appear
"Cannot open the file. Verify that the path and filename are correct and try again."
How do I fix that so that I can play .wmv files?
Any new ideas????

There are codecs in the Windows version of Windows Media Player which do not exist on a Mac, so perhaps that's the issue.
But you say you tried VLC Player and MPlayer, but not that you've tried the Mac version of WMP, so if you haven't, give that a try. If that doesn't work, one last thing to try would be WMV Player. It's not free, but they have a free trial so you could see if it worked for you.
If none of those solutions help, then I can only guess that the files are encoded in a codec for which no Mac version exists. When you get stuff from Acquisition or any other P2P network, there's no knowing what sort of hash you'll end up with.
Don't Steal Intellectual Property! Please make sure that all material (songs, movies, etc.) you obtain from P2P networks are legal, not pirated.

New Shuffle wont play after downloading Songs from Rhapsody

I just bought the 2nd gen. shuffle and after loading songs from rhapsody, it show them on the IPOD list but the ipod wont play. It blinks green-orange-green- orange and then nothing. I tried reseting it. Any ideas?

"Will Rhapsody work with iPod?
iPods are not compatible with the Rhapsody To Go subscription service. You may, however, use the iPod to play tracks purchased on Rhapsody. Or view the MP3 players compatible with Rhapsody To Go."
That is from their website, even though countless posts on these forums have said their files are not compatible. So who knows. If I couldn't get my music from rhapsody on my iPod, I personally woudn't be too surprised, it's protected music, and it's not meant for iTunes it's meant for Real player. It looks like it depends on if your music was subscription or not. You might also read this.

I hope you figure out how to get it on your iPod though.

Quicktime wont play anything

I recently downloaded a .mov file and it played fine, but now quicktime suddenly stopped playing it. I double click on the file and it takes a while for quicktime to even open and when it finally does it wont play the file. It opens and the movie file's name is changed to "Untitled 2" in the taskbar. There is no audio or video either. Then when I go to File->Open File and click on the one i want to play, it takes a second and then an error message appears that says:
Buffer overrun detected!
Program: C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QuickTimePlayer.exe
A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the program's internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and must now be terminated.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled quicktime several times and I also downloaded the latest Quicktime/iTunes and it still gives me this message. I also can't play any other of my files in quicktime.
Anybody know what to do to fix this?

I recieved the same thing a couple of months ago and started to research it but never followed thru with it. I monitored it with a firewall at the time and still have what I jogged down in a notebook.
A computer you were communicating with at IP address ** has attempted to access a different port then exspected. Port 6970, this port is commonly used by Gate Trasher Trojan. Gate Trasher Trojan is a Trojan Horse program. This port 6970 is also used by Real Player and QT to recieve streaming media data.
That is what I had written at the time, certainly not a fix, but may provide some insight.

Quicktime won't play .wmv

I have a new macbook pro with leopard and I downloaded flip4mac which was supposed to allow me to play .wmv files with quicktime but when doing so I'm told this isn't a movie file and it won't open.
The free quicktime I had with my pc had a preferences option that would allow almost any video file type to open, but I don't understand why the mac version of quicktime doesn't have this feature and is much more limited.

Fortunately, all the necessary software for viewing various formats of video, are free. Here's the list, as I know it. Doesn't really take much to get everything working, but because of the many different forms out there, it is necessary to do something to get it all to work.
For WMV, as already mentioned in the other post, Flip4Mac is essential.
VLC for .avi and some other formats.
Real Player
Perian
Adobe Flash
Streamclip
Various settings to make:
In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).

After new update my videos wont play and all my ph...

Hi All,
Pretty please could someone help me. I have only just updated my software, but all of my photos (phone and sd card) appear to be blank. And my videos wont play. Something like Videos cannot be played at this time'? I've noticed my WiFi and phone signal is awful now too.
Can anyone please help me retrieve my lost data?
Many thanks, Dee

Congrats on your first post, fed_upp. BTW, may we know the phone model you are using? When you say new update, are you referring to the Lumia Cyan or WP7.8 update? Have you already tried switching off/on your phone and re-inserting your memory card to check if there's any difference? About the phone's signal, are you able to see any changes when moving the phone in one place to another? For the Wi-Fi signal, are you unable to connect to any available Wi-Fi network?
We'll wait for your response so we can help you further.

Unable to play wmv videos on Nokia X6

Hello All,
I have Nokia X6 (S60V5) phone and I am trying to play wmv videos on it with no luck.Its Device details says that it can play wmv9
Video Playback Formats 3GPP formats (H.263), Flash Video, H.264/AVC, MPEG-4, RealVideo 7,8, WMV 9
I did encode a sample video with following config.
Resolution: 480x360
Video Bit rate : 1024K
Video Codec: wmv3 (which is WMV9)
Audio codec: wmav3
Sampling Rate: 44100
Audio bitrate: 128K
This configuration is not supprted on X6
Could anyone tell me what should be the configuration of wmv file inorder to be played on Nokia X6?
Thanks in advance,

I usually use flv or mp4 as the container and encode to:
Video:
MPEG-4 Video (mp4v)
640x360 resolution
Approx 700 to 800 kbps bitrate
29.9 fps framerate
Audio:
MPEG AAC Audio (mp4a)
stereo,
Approx 128 kbps bitrate
44.1 kHz sample rate
Although the X6 is meant to be able to play H.264 / MPEG-4 AVC (Part 10) I find it fails to play any videos using this codec at resolutions of 640x360 at any decent bitrates and framerates which can be a real pain.
I think the X6 can also playback MPEG-4 (Part 2) / H.263 but I don't normally use this particular standard.
According to
http://www.forum.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/X6-00/
Compatible codecs are 3GPP formats (H.263), Flash Video, H.264/AVC, MPEG-4, RealVideo 7,8, WMV 9 with video playback frame rate of 30 fps.

Windows Vista, Wont Play Videos

Bought New Vista Computor, Transfered I-tunes From xp, Every Thing Seems To Work Ok Except For It Wont Play The Videos,No Error Message Just Locks Up The Screen????? I Have The 7.1.Version. Help???

SATA = "Serial ATA." ATA is the standard that has been used for most PC disk drives for many years. Up until a few years ago, most PC disk drives were what is now called "Parallel ATA," or PATA for short. This is being replaced by the more modern "Serial ATA," or SATA.
If you really want to learn more about ATA, there's a Wikipedia article here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT_Attachment
For some reason, iTunes has problems playing videos stored on SATA drives, but not on other types of drives. No one has been able to determine yet why this is.
The "bypass" you ask for is storing your videos on PATA drives, or on networked drives, or even flash drives (e.g., USB sticks). That may not be an option for you, as it will not be for most people who buy off-the-shelf PCs.
The bottom line is that you shouldn't have to know what type of disk drive is in your system. Regardless of the type, it should just work. Unfortunately for some reason that does not appear to be the case with SATA drives and iTunes.
Apple is at least aware of the problem, but that has not been publicly acknowledged nor has there been any word as to when it might be fixed.
