WMVs using Windows Media Source Filter

QuacoreZX · #1 (**permalink**) 4th January 2006

This is a bug I found, and it has become an extreme annoyance. The Windows Media Source Filter was designed for WMV and ASF playback on Windows Media Player 6.4, and has far inferior rendering compared to just Video Renderer. Whenever Windows Media Source Filter is in use, seeking is EXTREMELY slow and must be buffered EVERYTIME. PLEASE get BSPlayer to recognize a newer wmv filter.

nevermind -_- I found a working solution. Install the Windows Media Format 9 SDK from https://wmlicense.smdisp.net/ei0u439...6/download.asp to get any and all WMV and ASF files to work without buffering time. I think it may have disabled streaming asf files though...I'll have to check.
