Title: "The media type 'Video' is not supported"??
Post by: Raysy on November 13, 2011, 10:58:22 am

I got the message "The media type 'Video' is not supported" and searched Interact. No results. E.G. I can watch on YouTube Flash-Videos with FF or IE and I can save them as FLV-files, but I can not open them. Even if flash is installed.

Any idea? In the wiki I read of 'red october', which should solve that problem. Where can I activate it?

What version of MC are you using? 

And are you playing Youtube movies when you get the error?  That should work.

Check MC's options for General/Features and make sure video is enabled.
