ok, im starting to get really annoyed!
everytime I visit a website and try to watch a video windows media player cannot play the video. This happens to ALL websites with network streams.
So, I attempted to open the network stream by entering the URL into VLC media player(Video Lan Client), but it will only play for a few seconds before the color gets all distorted and the screen goes black but it continues to play.
So, I tried opening the network stream with winamp, and it repeatedly reconnects and i was able to catch a glance at the error "Error syncing to mpeg"
so, what could this problem be?
I have no hardware firewall, or software firewall; trust me.
I have screwed around with the connection settings in windows media player many times but still have no luck.
If I download the network stream to my harddrive I can play it perfectly on my computer once it is saved to my hard drive. however, it is often difficult to do this because there is nothing I can right click to save target as to do so.
could it be I need codecs?
a hardware problem?
network settings need configured somehow?
?!?
any help would be greatly appreciated!!
thanks!
