Trying to play a URL fails with blank screen

on Windows Media Player (version 12, in windows 7) using default K-Lite_Codec_Pack_1205_Standard

What happens is basically: File - Open URL... - and i paste the direct link to the video

and here is the result:

Code:

It "plays" but there is no video/audio. There is nothing wrong with the URL itself because it plays fine on VLC (but i hate VLC for streaming URL's as it buffers and stops etc very unreliable)

For a long time WMP has been working fine for http dont know what happened now

Can you copy that URL here? Then I can try it myself.

Hi, thanks for the reply.

Can I pm you the link instead?

Yes.

OK, PM'd.

I too get a black screen with WMP. I am not sure why yet. It loads the correct filters. I will investigate further.

Playback works great with MPC-HC.

thanks for testing, i thought it'd work with MPC but i am so used to WMP so hoping there is a fix

I have asked one of the developers if he knows what is wrong.
