Notethe Basic version does NOT include a player
You need to use it together with an already installed DirectShow player such as Windows Media Player. For playback issues with WMP please read our F.A.Q. for solutions.
This is the recommended variant for the average user. Use this if you don't know what you need. It already contains everything that you need for playback. The extra components that are included in the larger versions provide no benefit for the majority of users.
Important note:
The K-Lite Codec Pack does not expand the import abilities of professional video editors such as Adobe Premiere or Vegas Movie Studio. Those applications often only support importing a small set of file formats, and do not support using the type of codecs that are included in the codec pack (DirectShow/VFW). Modern editors often only use their own internal codecs or only support external codecs of the Media Foundation type.
Can you please have the audio for mp4 files that are written to the memory card be more universally supported by media players? With the current audio codec used one must use ONE specific player (VLC Player) when there are tons of perfectly good codecs and players already in widespread use is a pain.
If you view a video created by a Wyze camera on a computer, you may not hear audio depending on the media player you are using. Windows' default media player does not have the proper audio codex, b...
So what you are asking is for the A-Law format to be changed. I think that is within the realm of something Wyze might be interested in, as there are so many audio problems at the moment that they may want to change that audio format as part of the cleanup process.
We can play recorded events on the device, but not if downloaded or shared with others. The issue is the codec used by Wyze is not natively supported on Andriod, iOS, Mac, PC or Chrome systems/devices. Requiring a 3rd party product, such as VLC, is not an acceptable solution. I tried using Camtasia and heard only a small burst of static then nothing. This needs fixing asap.
Downloaded directly from app, When played on my phone, no audio. Copied to my computer the d/l file, with no audio until I tried VLC. I also tried sharing from the Wyze app to the family who were not able to hear it, either.
There is no recording on the memory card - seems the advanced, local Storage, setting for Record Events Only did not record to the card. I have changed to Continuous recording and will check it later.
When I used the app to download, it downloaded. After trying to (unsuccessfully) hear the audio using the 'droid app, I copied to my computer and had the same issue with media player. When I shared it from the Event itself, same result.
Is there a way to reset the codec used in the Wyze app?
Just to verify, I just right now shared a recorded 12 second event to email back to myself. I downloaded and opened in VLC - codec is PCM ALAW. By your description, the system is not recording properly. The share and transmission via email should not have modified the codec, right?
OMG, apologies. I always watch my clips using the app or VLC, and I just noticed all the clips I have been saying I downloaded from my camera actually went thru iMovie first. So iMovie has been translating them to AAC!
K-Lite Codec Pack (Full) is one of the most complete and up-to-date codec packages for both video and audio. Thanks to this package, you can play practically any movie or audio file you have stored locally on your computer. No matter your preferred player, with these codecs, you can access any video or audio file you want.
The installation of this package includes several video players, among them the well-known Media Player Classic and BSplayer, two of the most popular and well-established players. K-Lite Codec Pack (Full) is the easiest way to get the decoders needed to view any movie, video clip, or video fragment you've recorded and exported to your PC.
The main difference between this FULL version of K-Lite Codec Pack (Full) and the STANDARD version is that this one includes the ability to play two formats not included with STANDARD. These two formats are OptimFrog and Tracker, both of which are uncommon. With the FULL version, you'll have no problem listening to any file with the following extensions: .it, .mo3, .mtm, .s3m, .umx, .xm, .ofr, and .ofs.
As usual with K-Lite codec packs, K-Lite Codec Pack (Full) also includes a number of configuration tools and filters to provide better image quality and performance. In short, if you ever have problems playing a file, don't hesitate to install this application and put an end to these errors and incompatibility problems.
Yes, K-Lite Codec Pack (Full) is fully compatible with Windows 11. This program works perfectly with the following versions of Windows: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, and Windows 11.
Each version of K-Lite Codec Pack has its advantages and disadvantages, but none of them is better or worse than the others. K-Lite Codec Pack (Full), for example, has almost the same features as the Mega version, except for a couple of supported formats.
This is the best powerful program for every version of Windows I ever had; It's magically reads/supports any video and audio format, so we never see problems by using it! Thanks to K-Lite (Mega) and U...See more

Since the media side of JFX has been open sourced, I've looked into this myself and it is indeed possible, but requires changing and rebuilding the JFX source (both Java and C parts.) The process is described here for anyone that wants to have a go - I add MKV support in that example, but it should be very similar for other plugins.
I've been using VLCJ thus far for playing video in my application. It works, but if possible I'd like to see if I can achieve a similar level of support for common codecs by migrating to JavaFX and saving myself a lot of hassle with multiple VMs and suchlike that VLCJ needs to play multiple videos reliably. I won't go into it here but see my answer to this question if you're interested in the details. There's also the issue of cross-platform compatibility, it works on Mac and Linux ok but I haven't worked out how to get it to show on Mac yet (I believe there's some security in place to prevent one process gaining access to another's native components, but again that's beyond the scope of this question.)
It boils down to the fact that while it works, it's a lot of maintenance and hassle working with multiple VMs and bridging them stably if there's another solution that would be easier. VLC does have a pretty legendary level of support for playing pretty much anything which is why I've gone with it thus far, and I'd be interested to see if I can get a similar result in JavaFX - or at least if it can provide the means for doing so in a cross platform manner.
JavaFX 2.0 supports video - great! But at the moment the official line is it supports "FLV containing VP6 video and MP3 audio". Is there a way to extend this to add in support for more codecs? There's no hard codec that I'd like to support, it's more a case of as many as I can so I'm looking for an extensible method to go about the above.
I wondered if it would play video for codecs installed natively on the machine and that it just doesn't advertise itself as such (because that functionality obviously is machine dependant and not cross-platform.) But no dice, I've tried a number of common formats and it really does refuse to play anything other than what it states.
From looking at JavaFX 1.3 it also supports other platform dependant codecs depending on where it's installed. Is there a way to get this behaviour with JavaFX 2? Or is it planned at all for a subsequent release? I haven't been able to find any information on it on the roadmap or any comment from Oracle about it.
Only thing I could find from searching extensively is here which implies that it may be possible but no-one seems to know how. I'd also be interested to know if it's based on GStreamer why all the formats supported by GStreamer aren't included by default either?
