<![CDATA[Broken file?]]>I just finished downloading https://www.gaytor.rent/details.php?id=12bcc4959935a0d900817155660e56c576733138a27de74c

However, the message I get when I try to open the file is
"Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file."
It's an mp4, so I'm thinking the file must be damaged somehow. Any suggestions?

Most files will play flawlessly in VLC, but there's the odd one here and there that I run into that just will NOT play properly in VLC. Sure enough, if I open those particular files in Totem instead, they work just fine.

My guess would be that it's something in the encoding of the video itself that WMP just cannot work with properly.

The first thing you should try is another movie player. I use Media Player Classic Home Cinema as my default.

Then try VLC

If you are still having problems, ask again and someone else may have a suggestion 🙂
