music videos won't play anymore

Post by railfan-eric »

last night my media monkey quit playing music in the middle of a song. then it wouldn't play music at all when i double click anything. or music videos. i reinstalled it with the newest dev version and still music videos won't play and it took an hour to reinstall because it kept hanging on install. today i uninstalled it and reinstalled it and rebooted the computer before i installed it again. still the music videos won't play. i just sits on 0 and does nothing. and each time I installed it or reinstalled it it went really slow. my desktop is a gaming computer, though i'm not into gaming but photo and video editing. I"m not sure what gives. it keeps going from one video to the next and putting the banner up each time it switches. but nothing ever plays.

they're not dead links. i haven't moved or deleted anything. it's not acting like dead links. it tries to play each music video for like 15 seconds then moves on. and on . i have the newest build as of an hour ago. 2024.2.2.3223 and i can still view the properties for the videos.

I"m not sure if i have a codec pack installed or if they are the default. I have some Mediamonkey codecs. there's Mediamonkey Video Player v2.0.

You can catch the problem in a log as requested above so a developer can analyze why this happens.

You can also try the MediaMonkey Codec Pack and see if it resolves the issue.
