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.
