If vlc cant open it you have found something truly odd
post
Uninstall that shit and use VLC
And if you want to play on a TV that doesn't support the format, convert it with FFMpeg.
MPC-HC also a very good choice
What troglodyte doesn't use VLC nowadays?
mpv enjoyers
Am I in the wrong for using mpc-hc?
People with automated Sonarr/Plex setups probably. Haven't had to use VLC since like 2009
mpv my beloved
where the fuck are u getting ur movies??? I've only ever seen mp4 and mkv, all of which even windows media player handles I think
It's an ".avi.exe".
yeah idk if vlc does .exe
Windows would be greatly improved if it would let you bind VLC as the default handler of exe files
I'm sure there's a way
And then you have mpv that will play anything ever, even a .txt with "interesting movie" written in it
This reminded me of having to install a codec pack like klite or cccp as one of the first things on a fresh install. I'm glad that isn't a thing anymore.
I use the SMplayer, it plays and streams almost everything (Mplayer engine, apart also works with mpv).
Me: cycling through every media players I have installed until I get one that plays the video properly.
VLC, MPV, MPlayer, Parole, etc
