Problem 1.a. When I import video files into the Content > Movies folder, they appear as a File Media Source as expected, as long as I click and drag them directly into UE4. If I try to bring them in via File Explorer, they do not appear in UE4, however, other files, like JPGs will.
Problem 1.b When I click on the File Media Source, I am not able to see the video, but I can see that the File Media Source is linking to the file name. Not sure if this is an issue, but after watching countless tutorials, and looking into the UE4 docs, it seems like I should see the video play here. I have added a pic below to show what I mean.
Problem 1 c (The main problem): After bringing in the File Media Source, I create a Media Player, which I open. I then double click the media file in the section below the video, wait a few seconds, and then can see the video showing in the Output section next to Video Texture. That media texture will also show the video, and I can add it to a material and watch the Video display on any 3D mesh.
Ever since getting version 5 of Malwarebytes on my Windows 11 system, Windows Media Player Legacy (v12) won't play .mp3, mp4 or other any media files.
I eventually get "not responding" in the media player, and also get one or both of the following errors ... "The RPC server is unavailable / The remote procedure call failed"
RPC services are running, and I've tried all suggested built in Windows troubleshooters, removed and re-adding media player
The new media player works, as does VLC, but I'm one of many that prefer the old WMP
I did try turning off the individual protection settings and also all of them at once which helped at first, but after a couple of successful views, problem came back.
I just tried turning off Malware & Pup protection by itself, same thing, worked a couple of times and problem came back
I also cleared any settings in WMP that might connect to the internet, even disable network adapters with no change
The fix may possibly take up to 60 minutes to complete
If the tool needs a restart please make sure you let the system restart normally and let the tool complete its run after restart.
The tool will make a log named Fixlog.txt in the same folder you ran the Farbar program from. Please attach that log on your next reply.
Important: items are permanently deleted. They are not moved to quarantine. If you have any questions or concerns please ask before running this fix.

I am struggling with the custom integration alexa media player, yesterday it did not renew the login/cokkie and all alexas stopped working from within HA. After relogin with my credentials, it started working again.
I've recently started using Roku Media Player to stream music from a UPnP server built into my router. This works OK but RMP is somewhat lacking in features. For instance, it would be nice to see the time elapsed and remaining in the current track. Are there any other channels that can connect directly to the UPnP server without having to run something like Plex on another computer?
I only know of one other functional DLNA player for Roku devices (other than RMP), and that is Chaneru. However, I don't think development has continued with it. I do know that when I was using it before RMP was released, it was extremely slow to use. I don't think it has much improvement in the video playback. Chaneru also offers its own server product, so perhaps it works better with that. Plex and Emby player channels cannot connect to DLNA servers, only their own server products (their servers do offer a DLNA output, but the players won't see the DLNA side).
That said, RMP does show time elapsed and time remaining if you pause the playback. I tested this with both video and music. Yeah, not convenient to pause playback to see those numbers. But they are there.
EDIT: I just reinstalled Chaneru and at least on my Ultra 4800 the channel won't even load. As I mentioned, I don't think development has continued with this channel, so RMP may be the only channel option left for DLNA playback.
I've used Emby, but if I'm not mistaken it requires the Emby server running on a PC to take content from the DLNA server and send it to the Emby Roku channel. Plex seems to work the same way. I'd like to avoid having to run a PC just to stream music. RMP can directly access a DLNA server, so I was hoping there were other channels that could do the same thing.
