Hello,
Aside from remote controlling your computer in real time with you, I am out of ideas. Sorry about that. VLC worked fine for me. Wonder if your volume is too loud or something. BUt am working in the blind here on this.
Sorry about that.
Christian
Christian,
No worries. Media Player is now playing..just decided to work suddenly!
Thanks for our help.
