sanjoa Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Hi, guys! I have a problem in WMP 11 while trying to play some videos. It says the MPEG Layer 3 (55) codec is missing, so on, I've downloaded and installed it, restarted my PC and it stills says its missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tucker Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Try installing K-lite mega codec pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted October 3, 2009 Administrator Share Posted October 3, 2009 Did you reinstalled the K-Lite? Well you may try to play it in VLC. If it doesn't play then the file(s) maybe broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tucker Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Try the following again while installing:Change to Profile 7Select Reset and WMP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanjoa Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 the problem is with WMP 11 because the videos can be played with any other video player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalliedog Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Have you tried the codec pack from Shark007? It is way better then the K-lite crap. http://shark007.net/win7codecs.htmlIf you are using x64, do not forget to add the x64 components too.

Tucker Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Try this:1)Uninstall WMP2)Reboot3)Run a registry scan/cleaner/fixer.4)Then reinstall it back.If that fails, there are always alternative players mate.Goodluck! ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanjoa Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 I've already done that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tucker Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Or try removing WMP using Windows Installer CleanUp Utility here and then reinstall it back again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanjoa Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 I use Media Player Classic, but this problem is the one that makes some game's videos not working at my PC. That utility tool does not read Windows Media Player 11 as installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tucker Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 How about via the Control Panel>Add or Remove Programs>Add/Remove Windows Components ?PSAlso try installing Windows Media Tools: linku might have over looked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shought Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Try this:Start > All programs > K-Lite Codec Pack > Configuration > ffdshow audio decoder > Codecs > MP3 > change from libmad to anything but 'disabled' and check if it works then ;) If it doesn't work either way change it back to libmad again.

sanjoa Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 @ Tucker uninstalling and reinstalling WMP 11 DOES NOT solve anything.@ shought I'll try that. ThankEdit:@ shought It is disabled. Should I enable it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shought Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Yes, set it to libmad :PThat's probably what's causing your problem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
