I have been using MC 24 for music only. Now I am trying to play a video, and I get this message: "The media type 'video' is not supported." How can I fix this? (Note: the video shows up in MC, but I get the message when I press 'play.')
-
What kind of video?
How are you trying to play it?
-
DVD in a USB-powered external DVD/CD player. When it shows up in MC, I just press play...not trying to rip it.
-
I'm sorry, but I don't know.
-
OK, I guess I still have the option of playing it with Windows. Thanks anyway.
-
If you go to tools>options does the category video appear at the bottom of the list? If not go to tools>options>general>features and make sure that video support is checked. You will need to restart MC for any new features to show up.
-
Video Support was unchecked! So, I checked it and restarted. Now the video shows up in the MC24 window, but I get the message 'The volume labelled "Movie Title" could not be found. Plays on Windows though.
-
If you go to tools>options.CD,DVD & BD, show the options for autoplay for DVD which probably has ask everytime next to it. Select let windows handle it. Hopefully that will work.
-
Yes, thanks, already tried that. It seems easier in this case not to open MC at all, and literally 'let Windows handle it'
-
You might need to set MC as the default video player in the windows>settings>apps>default apps. (Worth a try) I just plugged in a usb cd drive and MC played it without a problem - so there is a setting somewhere that needs ticking!

Ha! That's it! Perfect. The movie is now playing! Thank you so much.
