How to play MKV files?

Greetings,

I can't find a Windows Media Player forum, so I thought I would try here.

Windows Media Player 12.0.7601.17514 read MKV files. I found a codec to DivX, but I have a 64-bit version of Windows. Do I have to download a 64-bit codec?

Thank you
Shane.

Hello

Install this:

and you are good to go with mkv in WMP.

  • Stor.e TV + - playing .mkv files have sound but no picture

    I just transferred all my .mkv files on my store TV + but most of them have sound but no picture? They play fine on my PC...

    Also, in any case to change the icon of the folder on the actual dvd cover on the store TV +? Sick to see the yellow folders!

    Thank you...

    Hello
    Find the StorE TV + specifications on this page from Toshiba:
    http://www.Toshiba-multimedia.com/EU/store-external-hard-drives/TV-plus/

    The Store TV + supports video formats: MPEG1 (DAT, MPG), MPEG2 (VOB, MPG, TS/M2TS/TP TRP), MPEG4 (AVI, MP4, MKV), VC-1 (WMV), H.264 (AVI, MKV, MOV, MP4), RM/RMVB (RM/RMVB)

    MKV files are supported by the MPEG4 and H.264 video format.
    Files are saved in these formats?
    How about you play other i.e. MPG or AVI files?

    In addition, I would recommend checking the connection to the TV.
    Here is a user manual that I found on the page of Toshiba:
    http://www.Toshiba-multimedia.com/global/manuals/store/manuals/STORE_TVplus_User_Manual.PDF

    It shows you how to connect the Store TV + correctly.

    Hello

    This is a laptop and a notebook forum options not quite sure if anyone would be able to help you here.
    However, as far as I know the TV supports only a file format FAT32 your USB drive must be formatted in FAT32.

    You can also try to convert mkv files to other formats like avi.
    There are a lot of tools as freeware * SUPER 2012 * which convert these files.

  • How to play .asx files in Windows Media Player

    original title; Can I play a video file of .asx with WMP? or if not, how to play with this extension .asx files?

    Can I play a video file of .asx with WMP? or if not, how to play with this extension .asx files?

    When I try to play the file, WMP shows error then update says "video codec".

    How then can I get this update for the video codec?

    Thank you, Michael Phelps 907

    Hi Mike,.

    an .asx file is not a media file. It is a file that contains a pointer to a content online. So if you are unable to read a .asx file and are able to play other files using Windows Media Player so the best thing is to open the .asx, a Notepad file. When you open the .asx using Notepad, you will see a link that starts by http: and so on. Please copy this link and go to Windows Media Player. On the Windows Media Player window, press the Alt key on the keyboard and click file and Open url. Paste the link and check if Windows Media Player is able to open the link. If she opens the link this is a problem with the formatting of the .asx file and if it does not open the link then it is a problem with the server online of the .asx file. It could be that it is deleted from the server.

    Hope this information helps. Keep us informed on the status of the issue.

  • Need help with downloading a player to play MKV files

    Original title: MKV files

    Please can someone advise if there is a program that I can download safe while I am able to play the DVD with mkv. content?

    My operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

    Thank you

    Chris

    Hi Chris;

    All you need is a set of codec files reflecting the MKV format to use audio/video stream. The codecare like translators who take the image video format and encode or decode for viewing in your favorite media player. I would recommend that you download and install K-Lite Codec pack from here.

    Download K-Lite Codec Pack

    Get either the Standard or complete package to halfway to the bottom of the page. There is a package tailor-made for 64-bit if your Windows 7 is that the flavor. The 64-bit package is not always necessary, as most of the programs are still 32-bit. There is also this set of reliable codecs.

    Windows Essentials Media Codec Pack

    Another video player is not necessary, but if you decide to get one, I recommend the free VLC Player but beware of the source that you pick up all this because it is open source and easily modified into something that you don't want. Here is a link to the "official" site

    What you will do, is add the PlayerListener and / if you have in your loop code would go in the treatment of the END_OF_MEDIA event. Once that noise has stopped you will start the next sound and add the listener of player.

    //Declarations
    PlayerListener pListen;
    String mp3 = "";
    
    ..........
    ..........
    
    pListen = new PlayerListener(){
       public void playerUpdate(Player player, String event, Object eventData) {
          if (event.equals(PlayerListener.END_OF_MEDIA)) {
             if( mp3.equals(test1) ) mp3 = test;
             else if( mp3.equals(test2) ) mp3 = test3;
             else if( mp3.equals(test3) ) mp3 = test4;
             .........
    
             InputStream stream = (InputStream)this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/" + mp3);
             p = Manager.createPlayer(stream, "audio/mpeg");
             p.realize();
             p.prefetch();
             p.addPlayerListener(pListen);
             p.start();
          }
       }
    }
    
    InputStream stream = (InputStream)this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/" + mp3);
    p = Manager.createPlayer(stream, "audio/mpeg");
    p.realize();
    p.prefetch();
    p.addPlayerListener(pListen);
    p.start();
    

    So, add the try-catch blocks.

    Hello

    I'm playing files .vob to an external hard drive to usb on my netbook. I assumed that they would play with Windows Media Player but I can't get this to work, I need to convert the files? If yes how can I do this? Maybe that was an upgrade that I need to download something? I don't know if that makes a difference, but the netbook using Windows 7.

  • How to play video files with the extension "rar".

    When I download video files with the extension 'rar', I can't play them with Windows Media Player or QuickTime.

    Could someone please advise what I can do to fix this problem?

    Thank you

    Rar is a compressed, identical to zip file. You must decompress, using an application like winzip or winrar, then according to what file type it is you should be able to play. If you cannot, you will find the codec that makes the Elf, install it, and then everything should be fine, but if you have problems, go back with the extension on the end of the file, as you have with the .rar and ask again.

    If you highlight the whole of each file and press F8, you will create a range of markers covering the whole of it. You can now drag these beaches in the window of markers directly to the reading list (window > Playlist), and if you press the play button on playlist, it will play them in the order that you put them in the list.

    Also when you say

    Are you saying that you are able to play the stream using localhost, but not able to play using the IP address of your system.
