Windows Media Player uses the Media Foundation codecs from Windows for playing MOV/MP4 files. It doesn't support all video formats out-of-the-box.
Solutions:
1) If you are using Windows 10, then install HEVC Media Foundation codec:

This helps to play more files. But it won't fix all MOV/MP4 files.
2) Rename to extension .video. This will force WMP to use the codecs from K-Lite instead of Media Foundation. Then everything should play.
3) Disable Media Foundation with our Codec Tweak Tool. Same effect as previous solution. This does however break playback in applications and games that need Media Foundation. So not recommended.
4) Use the Media Player Classic player from K-Lite (Standard and larger).
