The user is pointing you at "Media Player Classic" which is bundled with K-Lite. It's a very nice program... not perfect, but my favorite choice for movies. You can also visit the Sourceforge site (it's open source) to download the latest version at:
Media Player Classic (MPC) (https://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli/)

yep, sucks being lazy

[anti00Zero]

no. i use mpc.

but i want to see streams from windows media files on my browser like real or quicktime alternative ;)

You can use MPC for this. If it's not working then something isn't set up properly. Try the forums for MPC in the above link.

please excuse the 'newb' but...

I see no sign in the MPC docs about windows media *plugins*
if it is .wmv, .wmf we are talking about...

I cant seem to understand how the 'sourceforge' support page is structured - please can you say it in plain newbie-speak?? (please!!)

I have the klite pack (with BSplayer [version 1.00.808] & Media Player Classic [version 6.4.8.2] )

another question is when MSmediaplayer2 would just get a new codec, how would I enable this for bsplayer etc??

copy/paste url into 'Open' ;)

errr... open where?? if you mean 'mediaplayer' - my kid can do that...

in the browser is totally different, needing a *plugin* like quicktime or realplayer uses...

without this, a properly setup browser will just savethe file, or load the external player with it loaded...

severina... unfortunately the way things are with the state of codecs today I don't think there is any 'simple' way to figure out these kinds of problems. These codec packs go a long way towards this, but sometimes you just have to work at it and the answers may be difficult to come by.

If you've installed the latest version(s) of K-Lite (and most other codec packs) there is a utility called GSpot that can tell you what codecs are necessary to play your file. Now, the version currently included in the latest release version of K-Lite doesn't really handle MPG/MPEG files (only AVI) but the latest BETA adds solid MPG support.
