Re: WMP cannot play a web video

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi,

No, there are no temporary problems in my case, the laptop plays it without
any problem, it's my PC that has got something, I never succeeded to play
that video (which changes everyday given that it is news for kids).
I will try to reinstall WMP11.

Thanks
Cheers

Hi,

I have WMP 11 (on WXP PRO). My PC is not able to play a video on the web,
in
fact,I click on the link and the only image I see is the WMP logo.For
convenience, here's the specific link:http://player.omroep.nl/?serid=227
I right click the screen and go to "error detail" I get the message
enclosed

On my laptop, where I also have WMP 11, it works perfectly.

I left it playing for about an hour while I scored some food.

When I came back, the player had errored with `The server is currently
unable to handle this request due to temporary overloading or server
maintenance`

So I'm guessing you might see problems transiently which don't occur
at other times of day when the load is lighter at their end.

Cheers - Neil
