I tried playing a WMV file in VLC and it told me something along the lines of Unable to play WMV3 files. Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this
. When I try to open the same file in MPlayer, it tells me an Internal data stream error occurred
. I finally got it to start playing in KPlayer, but it is really sketchy; it's black and white and there's a few random blue lines down the middle of the video.
So is there any support for WMV3 files?
P.S. the same WMV file plays fine on my PC.
A different WMV file plays on Ubuntu fine.
