Note: the 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.
Have the codecs for my windows media player. Need more info on the file codecs.
I read: "To determine what codec was used with a specific file, play the file in the Player and check Properties. On the File tab, look at the Audio codec and Video codec sections."
Understand that but, I checked one song with WMA File (.wma) Plays with Grove app and Windows media.
Yet another song WMA File (.wma) doesn't play on either and the Pop up still states:
"Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file."
I thought that the mediaElement is essentially the windows media player, but I already found cases where videos play, but show a black screen, while the audio track plays normally, and others where the scrubbing on the timeline takes a lot of time.Also I noticed that when I load a video in this type of player, K-lite codecs doesn't seem to load on the bottom right part of the windows taskbar like they usually do when I use VLC player or Media Player Classic for example.
I 've already found another topic stating that: "The MediaElement is a control that's able to play only some file types. It's based on media player of windows but only on its core encoders. Its basically a bare-bones media player"
Lastly, in the case that this is as good as mediaElement gets, what alternatives are there?I 've seen people open VLC through their players, but I would like to know what other alternatives are available as well before I dive into that. I ve seen that Microsoft now has "Player Framework" available for Windows 8 for example, but is it only for windows 8?
Having worked with an unholy mess of different player/recorder/streamer/media things generally, I think your best bet for universal playback support is either MPlayer or VLC. WPF wrappers exist for both
I can vouch for Vlc.DotNet ( ) as a media player option for WPF/WinForms. It's a little miserable getting over the learning curve, but worthwhile for the truly vast array of options. There are very few media tasks that you can't pull off with it one way or another.
Ok so I am happy to announce that I was wrong on a couple of observations and that there is a solution to improve the support for popular media formats, such as mp4, in windows media player and therefore in medialement!!!
So I was wrong to say that the media element is not really Windows media Player but rather a "bare-bones media player". It is indeed windows media player and it just needs the right set of codecs to be able to play more formats.
I already had K Lite codecs installed and I added this set of codecs _player_codec_pack.html and now my windows media player doesnt lag anymore when playing mp4 files. Just follow the suggestion of the installer and restart your pc BEFORE starting the installation process. Also... it attempts to trick you with dialogs to install secondary software so BEWARE!!
Once Installed, just remember to experiment with the "preferred acceleration" parameter in the application's video settings, to see what goes better according to your hardware. I have set it to - CUVID.
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!
Since the K-Lite Codec Pack is my media software of choice, I decided to visit their site to see if there was an upgrade available. Indeed, the latest version at the moment of writing was released on November 19th 2015 (the version I was using had been installed on my PC at the beginning of November because I'd bought a new hard drive and reinstalled the OS). I've downloaded and installed the update, but nothing changed, I still got the same green square.
Now, this part I am ashamed of; instead of getting suspicious, I did what the file suggested, i.e. ran it in WMP, which indeed suggested that I download some codecs. I let it do it, typed the admin password because my account is a regular one, and then a few interesting things happened.
The UI differs in certain subtle ways, and the sentence composition/syntax is poor. Undeniably though the most suspicious thing is the domain in the upper left corner, playrr.co; a simple whois lookup reveals that the domain has been registered on November 17th this year - five days ago - and the registrant is WhoisGuard, so the actual registrant clearly wanted to conceal their details.
This video file uses (well, abuses) Windows Media Player's DRM functionalities which allows content providers to embed an URL in their protected content that will be displayed in a Windows Media Player window to allow the user acquire a license to play the content. Its legitimate usage goes like this :
In this case, the feature has been abused to display a fake WMP error about missing codecs (it's in reality a webpage, as the domain name in the top bar suggests, and if it was real the window would've been much smaller) to make you click a (fake) button that points to malware masquerading as codecs.
The WMV file in question was probably crafted to exploit a vulnerability in Windows Media Player. The explicit request to use Windows Media Player to play it points in that direction. It was probably intended to steer victims away from other players which wouldn't be vulnerable to the exploit.
The vulnerability was then exploited to request download of a malware program disguised as a codec installation package, a popular ploy since users would expect codec installation when playing a media file.
Sib. 7.1.3: Sibelius can't play this video (but WMP can)
Posted by aaronnt1 - 29 Sep 01:08PM Hide picture I have a video I'm trying to add to my Sibelius project. It is an MP4 file and all my other video players can play it fine, VLC, Windows Media Player and my DAW Reaper. Yet Sibelius tells me the correct codecs are not installed and so can't play the file!
Isn't Sibelius supposed to be able to play whatever file format the OS can play? And I thought it simply uses Windows Media Player to play files so any ideas why it can't play
this file?
Many thanks. Back to top Allthreads Re: Sib. 7.1.3: Sibelius can't play this video (but WMP can)
Posted by Robin Walker - 29 Sep 01:54PM Hide picture Perhaps you are running Sibelius in 64-bit mode, and all the other applications are 32-bit, using 32-bit codecs.
There is a third-party set of installable codecs which include 64-bit support for many video formats that are not supported in shipping versions of Windows 64-bit.
Go to _kl.htm to download the K-Lite codec pack. Of the four varieties (basic, standard, full, mega) offered, you need only the Basic version for enabling QuickTime and other video formats playback in Sibelius 64-bit (you may choose more feature-full versions if you have other reasons for wanting them). With effect from version 10.0 onwards, K-Lite has a combined 32-bit and 64-bit installer, so you don't need to choose 32 vs 64-bit.
When about to download, take care to avoid clicking on any of the eye-catching buttons labelled "Download", which are adverts for something else entirely, which you probably do not want. For the K-Lite download, the site will send you via plain links to a third-party download site (such as MajorGeeks).
When you install K-Lite Basic, you can afford to accept all the default installation options, EXCEPT the free offers to download various freebie products which you almost certainly do not want: take care to avoid those.
Once K-Lite has been installed, try launching Sibelius 64-bit. If you open Scores\Sibelius Example Scores\Project Files\Project 5.sib you should be able to play the Mr Bean QuickTime movie in 64-bits.

Posted by aaronnt1 - 29 Sep 02:38PM Hide picture Hi thanks Robin
my OS is 64 bit so I assume WMP is also 64 bit, Reaper 64 bit and yes Sibelius 64 bit too. Strange but you may be right. Anyway, I converted the file to AVI and now it works fine in Sibelius.
Thanks again. Back to top Allthreads
