my media player always stops when I play video or movies

My media player always stops when I play video or movies

While your it resources play a role in the way that online videos are displayed, the speed of your internet plays the biggest part. The reason is that your internet connection must first download the video before it can be displayed. This is referred to as "Buffering".

Then, the server of the host, which is the source of the video, also plays an important role in how the video is displayed as well. Some servers have a higher bandwidth which allows better/more fast streaming.

However, there are some things you can do to try to increase performance. First is to make sure that your computer is not infected by malicious software. For this, I recommend a quick scan with Malwarebytesupdate.

Next is to clean up the system of temporary files and other objects that can slow performance. Read the article HERE to see how to improve the overall performance of your computer.

    Hello

    1. who is the operating system installed on the computer?

    2 - is confined to a specific DVD problem?

    To resolve this problem, you can try to install the video codec and check if the problem persists.

    A codec is a software to compress or decompress a digital media file, such as a song or a video. Windows Media Player and other programs use codecs to play and create digital media files.

    A codec can consist of two components: an encoder and a decoder. The encoder performs the compression function (coding) and the decoder performs the decompression function (decoding). Some codecs include both components and some codecs only one of them.

    When I open Windows Media Player 12, if I play music or not, in less than a minute, a box appears that says:

    "Windows Media Player has stopped working: a problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly." Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

    The only option then is to click on "close the program".

    "Play.exe stopped working: Please send us this report to help us solve the problem and improve this software."

    The option only two then are "CANCEL" or to type my email and the problem then click on 'send report '. I did the second and nothing heard back.

    XBOX media player works, but I don't want to use it.

    I already scanned with McFee virus and it found nothing. I recently remove a virus from my computer. The problems may have started after that.

    After days and days of the trial, an online chat with a technician Microsoft (which was useless) I finally found a suggestion that worked... I had to create a new user account with administrative privileges. Media worked perfectly in this new account! I then spent ages downloading the files from my old account before deleting completely. It took a long time and has been a real pain, but at least it works now :-). Good luck to all. I hope this works for you xx

    Run the sfc/scannow command.

    Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms,Accessories, right-clickguest, and then clickrun as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.
    2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
