    Hi. I'm trying to play a video but getting the following message - "Windows Media Player can't play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file". The video played for me last week without a problem. Any ideas? Thanks

    Most of the files are in 1080p.BluRay.x264-[YTS.AM] format. Some are in VLC format. Just wondering why WMP that was watchable last week isn't available today. Thanks
