Some WMV files not playing

[Roy Dennis]

Just to add to this topic, I have found that this file is WMV2 format. I have searched Google for information on this and it seems there are a lots of folk who have trouble trying to play this format outside of Windows media player but I have not found a solution.
I attach a .txt file of Media info if anyone knows an answer.

Excellent research Roy!

I've emailed our tech staff with this Thread to see if they can expand on it.

A bit more info on this that I tried without success.
When you open K-lite codec pac/Configuration/ffdshow video decoder, highlight the top codec top left in attached picture, there is a .wmv2 codec to select which is highlighted in picture, when you enable this by clicking on the disabled status you get 2 other choices, "libavcodec & wmv9" both of which I tried but it still won't play it.

If you try to load it from the video tab a message pops up saying "Windows media player can't play this file try installing codec. so you can't load it to the playlist.
But windows media player does play it.
Also tried importing it into Hoster which it completes, loaded it to the playlist which it does OK but receive another message on hitting play. "Failed(hr=0x00d07e2) in pGB->RenderFile(wFile,NULL)".
Don't know if this means anything to you but that is what I've tried.
