From the older post, I have explained some issues of Media Player Classic that was included within K-Lite Mega Codec Pack any version. A problem that I couldn’t solved at that moment was “computer restart suddenly when I move the playback slider with a .wmv file”. The player seems weird too.
Unfortunately, K-Lite didn’t change the default configuration for ffdshow video decoder, so you must change it manually. I feel disappointed. Now then, I am going to tell you how to fix this problem. Just for info, I am using K-Lite Mega Codec Pack 4.4.5. I got this problem from version 4.1.3 and it’s very disappointing that K-Lite/ Media Player Classic do not realize that plain problem.
media player classic crashed
- The first step, open ffdshow video decoder.
ffdshow video decoder
- Change the decoder for WMV1,WMV2,WMV3 to libavcodec. I do not recommend wmv9 because it is incomplete I think. There are some .wmv files that do not play correctly with wmv9, just a green screen and voices.
libavcodec wmv
- Click OK and you can freely slide the slider without any worries that your computer can restart suddenly.
