WMP10 streaming problem - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Quote:

Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the specified protocol is not supported. If you typed a URL in the Open URL dialog box, try using a different transport protocol (for example, "http:" or "rtsp:").

This is a link that I've been using for ages and probably less than a day before this message showed up. I've checked my Network settings like it said to do, tried playing it in RealPlayer, (same message,) and Winamp (error synching to mpeg).

Any ideas?

Update: This happens for all streaming links.

no idea, im stuck here to, no more streaming for me

maybe its 10, cause when i had 9 it was fine

I'm afraid it's not 10's problem, because I switched back to 9 and it still says the same thing.

Also, it seems like I can't stream anything anymore (not from amazon.com, in any case.)

In the meanwhile, Seanland, you can try out this player, it should work for most streams.

Feel like I'm talking to myself here, but...

So I can watch video streams again, don't know why, but just installed SP2 and reinstalled WMP9, maybe that has something to do with it.

Try uninstalling it and rebooting, then after you reboot. Reinstall it.
