anyone beginning to see serious issues with wmp 9? - GoFuckYourself.com

quiet · 02-08-2003, 05:27 PM

we've gotten a hundred emails today (out of the blue) all saying that wmp 9 is not working for them trying to view mpeg1 (even though everything was fine before today).

wtf?

sorry quiet, I was just testing my new email system, decided to see how fast I can send out a 100 emails.

Is that stable now? I tried to install is a few months ago and it had a lot of problems.

Brown Bear · 02-08-2003, 05:38 PM

I've heard so many people bitching about problems with WMP9 that I never bothered to install it. I'm sticking with WMP8 for now.

Snake Doctor · 02-08-2003, 05:41 PM

Windows media player will auto update if you let it. Maybe M$ released a patch or upgrade yesterday that they downloaded that's fucking things up?

Hey Quiet on March 19, 2002 you posted:
"haven't been on a concorde before, but definitely something i'm planning to do. i've heard it's a sweet experience..."

And then on November 15, 2002 you wrote:
"i also took my dad on the concorde for a new years celebration a couple of years back. that was extremely cool."
"1st class rocks. but i still don't think it's justified. the concorde flight i took - that was crazy. but still not justifiable."
"the concorde is the most amazing plane i've ever been on. my dad has always been obsessed with jets, and always wanted to go supersonic. so we went on a 3 hour flight to no where (ended up in the same place we took off from). very cool. very expensive"

So have you or have you not been on the Concorde, or was there a New Years celebration between March & November???

Backov · 02-08-2003, 05:49 PM

God it's a fucking piece of crap. MS claimed at one time they were going to stop supporting basic authentication (what pretty much every paysite uses, FYI) - but they backed off of that..

Anyway, I installed it because I needed to, for the new WMEncoder stuff.. God it fucking sucks.

8 was so fucked for me. 80% of the time it would refuse to play the shit if it was on my C or D drive. I had to put everythign on the stupid E drive to even have a chance for it to play. I just "upgraded" to 9 and at least it plays the crap no matter where it is on my computer.

Shut the fuck up brown hole

QUIET?

02-08-2003, 05:57 PM

lamer.

I've heard from a lot of people having trouble using WMP9 in WinXP. I myself run Win2k and have never encountered any problems, with any supported filetype.

Just tell em how to uninstall it

i was thinking the same thing. anyone else?

stevo · 02-08-2003, 06:06 PM

I downloaded windows media player 9 about a month ago. It could hardly play any movies, it would freeze my computer (win2k), and ruined my video enconding capabilities... Had to format C:\, I think ill stick with this version 6.4

i think i may put up a notice on my site to NOT download this beast. anyone else here with members downloading mpeg1??

Kimmykim · 02-08-2003, 06:14 PM

XP is the mark of the devil.

bigdog · 02-08-2003, 06:16 PM

maybe get a pc and make your movies in mwv format

Pornwolf · 02-08-2003, 06:17 PM

I think you are right Quiet, it must have been an auto update that got us. I noticed an update was ready yesterday morning but I haven't tried to play anything yet. I expected this to happen sooner or later. We will see if this is the case in a couple of days.

i didn't think that MP9 could be uninstalled..? at least, the beta could not be uninstalled. the real worrysome part of this issue is that many of our target newbie surfers might/will end up w/ this installed on their systems one way or another, so it would be a good thing if we can figure out a solution to tell users..

JasonB · 02-16-2003, 07:35 PM

There is now a fix for the mpeg authentication prob:

How long did you search to find something like that ? Just wondering, it must've been REALLY important to you.

Dax · 02-16-2003, 11:58 PM

I started having that problem today... I tried to watch some of my sites videos ( an update i did ) and i couldn't.. so i was pissed.. I dunno how to fix it!

6.4FL

I hate when the upgrades to products are big bubbly candy raver looking programs, with no option to revert back to the classic less obtrusive GUI.

probably you installed beta version they were offering earlier.
go to microsoft.com windows update and install last release + codecs pack, works fine for me

StacyCat · 02-17-2003, 07:53 AM

The problem is that it didnt support HTML authentication.

See http://chat.amateurmasters.com/publi...iew.cgi?T=2277 for explanation.

They also had the address that can fix the problem.
