Not playing WMV and ASF

vandread · #1 (**permalink**) 29th January 2004

I downloaded the latest version of BSplayer today, i have the problem that it does not play WMV and ASF files, whenever i click on one BSPlayer says, that this is an Unknown file format ().

I can play the files with the windows media player.

I really dont know whats wrong, maybe some of you can help

I have exactly the same problem here, too.

Hi. Just the WMP9 codecs won't do it. If you don't have WMP9 itself installed, you need to install the wmfdist.exe runtime files package from the SDK. First d/l the SDK from here: http://wmlicense.smdisp.net/v9sdk/ , they must email you the url. Install sdk

on some test bed. Do a find for wmfdist.exe--copy and execute on your dream machine. SÄ? d?¤r!
