Can't play videos on Windows 10

The video can show and then it will say "skip ad in x minutes" but nothing else happens. I downloaded all the "fixes", but they don't seem to have much effect. A lot of trial and error (once removing a MS update on media solves the problem). However, a few days later something else would update and I would lose the video - old ones downloaded sites as well under the current name as Fox. I've recently updated for Firefox 42. Could that have erased the previous 3 "fixed". Finally, I learned that MS 10 does not support Windows Media Player, so could eliminate the tests with it.

Would it be an add-on to block ads or other content filtering extension?

One of the changes in Firefox 42 title adds a blocker follow-up in private browsing windows. This kind of filtering may cause missing content in web pages.

When anti-suivi is enabled, a new shield icon should appear on the left end of the address bar. You can use this icon to make a temporary exception to the site. Or you can disable the feature of anti-tracking as a test.

This article contains more information on where to find this setting in the Options page for private windows: Tracking in private browsing Protection

If you have activated the anti-tracking for windows, which must be disabled by using a different approach:

(1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press enter/return. Click on the button promising to be careful.

(2) in the search above the list box, type or paste follow and make a pause so that the list is filtered

(3) if the preference privacy.trackingprotection.enabled is in bold and 'game of the user' for real, double click to restore the default false value - you can use it in windows private as long as privacy.trackingprotection.pbmode.enabled is set to its default value true

  • Windows Media Center won't play video, but Windows Media Player will be?

    I'm reading a video .avi with the xvid codec. I installed the codec earlier and it plays fine in Windows Media Player, but when I try to play in Windows Media Center, it indicates that one or more codecs are required to play this file, but they cannot be found. I know I would just watch with Windows Media Player instead of Media Center, but I want to watch it on my Media Center extension (my Xbox). I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate, 64-bit. Why does Windows Media Player with this codec and Windows Media Center not work? How can I solve this problem?

    -Slick05_1

    Hi Slick05_1,

    Thanks for the replies on the forum.

    Given that the Microsoft Vista Media Center and XBOX do not play the files suggest it would need to be a codec which solves the problem or maybe file conversion which would solve the problems you are experiencing.  Since the codecs for files is not something written by Microsoft, we do not have the information for that in our system.

    What I suggest is to go to your search engine preferred and in the search line and typing "is possible to play VLC on XBOX.

    WARNING:

    Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

    What I suggest also done an online search using your favorite search engine for "play MKV files in Vista x 64 Media Center" to find whether there may be suggestions about codecs or these codecs created by other organizations then Microsoft.

    Please let us know if you are able to get this to work for you.

  • can not play video.

    Hey, I can't play a clip I have downloaede on my computer. can u help me?

    Hey, I can't play a clip I have downloaede on my computer. can u help me?

    Watch your video. The last 3 letters represent its file extension (file format).

    Windows Media Player supports only a handful of file formats. Here is the list:
    Video files: .asf, .avi, .dvr-ms, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, and .wmv

    If the format of your video file is not on the above list, Media Player will NOT play it.

    You hae 2 choices:
    1 Google for a FREE video converter and it allows to change the format of your video. I highly recommend to choose the WMV file format. It is a most reliable and foolproof format for Windows.

    2. install a 3rd party media player called VLC. It plays virtually all formats, and it is also free software.

  • I can't play videos on my RT Surface

    Dear Microsoft,

    I have 1 problem with your product, I can not even play YouTube on the device or the videos after the recent update, I edited the whitelist, compatibility & all otherwise and still nothing.
    Much forward to your response
    Concerning
     

    It's really weird.

    Try to check the store and see if YouTube has an app.  I think they do.  For Android tablets have no Flashmedia, YouTube will play videos through a HTML5 portal for which the application uses.  That's why these tablets have a YouTube app.

    Maybe worth a try as a work-by-turn.  Check manually with Windows Update because it is the only method of updating Flashmedia for Windows 8 (all versions).

    Also YouTube could have done some changes to system lately as well.  Google owns and that they do not like Microsoft.

    You can also check with the Technical Support from Microsoft, because it looks like a hardware glitch as well.  I just shot to the top of my RT this morning and watched a YouTube video and it worked.  Each of these machines seem to have a life of its own and can be belligerent.  If it's a hardware problem, you may need to send in replacement because this problem could spread later to where you will not be able to see flash on other websites as well.

  • How can I play videos Google from an ipad on a TV?

    Wondering if anyone could tell me how I can play a movie I rented by Google play of a mini iPad on a Samsung TV? I use the official HDMI adapter from Apple, but I get an error message saying: it is not allowed to play videos's protégé. I guess it's the adapter, but appears to have only this problem with Google videos play. I have tested and can Netflix and Amazon Prime fine videos, and it plays movies iTunes without any problems. Don't know why Google Play is any different, unless Apple is not as her biggest rival used on THEIR products because they have cigarette butts. But it doesn't matter. XD

    Its like everything is not working properly for me. Maybe you should contact Google given that is where you acquired the content you want to listen to.

  • can not play videos more even if I have adobe flash worked before better than chrome or explorer

    Hello

    I love firefox videos esp. Much better than the internet explore and chrome. Very stable and smooth. He played very well and then crashed. I thought it might be a few programs I uninstalled as shockwave who played hell with my computer. I uninstalled and reinstalled mozilla firefox and adobe flash player, but still could not play videos you tube, or golf revolution, etc. I took a screenshot, but I do not see an attachment to send you. It says I have to update adobe flash player or adobe flash player is required for video playback, which I have already done several times but it still doesn't appear in my firefox plugins. Please notify.
