WMP play them withpout problems. MMW should check if problem is within Media Foundation and inform user that Codec is missing. Workaround/Solution for the problem is that downloading/installing: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48231 and ensuring that http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/windows-dvd-player are properly installed (force installed?) make MMW play tracks again. | ||||

The problem is, that Microsoft offers also "N" versions of Windows 10 to users during upgrade. And if the user selects this version of upgrade, it will remove Windows Media components during the installation. MediaMonkey than fails to play tracks, because it fails to load basic windows media libraries from the system. I've extended Missing Codec feature, so it detects this situation and displays Missing Codec dialog. To complete this, we need to cover new constants in http://www.mediamonkey.com/MissingCodec.php. Rusty, could you add them and create related web pages? In XP and Vista user needs to install WMP11, in Windows 7 and later corresponding Media Feature Pack (for his/her version of Windows and language). New constants and links (language version could be changed on the linked sites): ADMP3_N_XP, ADMP3_N_S2003, ADMP3_N_VISTA - Windows Media Player 11 (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/windows-media-player-details.aspx?id=8163) ADAAC_N_7, ADMP3_N_7 - Media Feature Pack for Windows 7 N and Windows 7 KN (http://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=16546) ADAAC_N_8, ADMP3_N_8 - Media Feature Pack for N and KN versions of Windows 8 (http://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=30685) ADAAC_N_8_1, ADMP3_N_8_1 - Media Feature Pack for N and KN versions of Windows 8.1 (http://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=40744) ADAAC_N_10, ADMP3_N_10 - Media Feature Pack for N and KN versions of Windows 10 (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48231) |

I've updated missingcodec.php with the new links. Note that I haven't created any new web pages since the linked pages were never localized to begin with, and each of the pages are fairly self explanatory (so no intermediate descriptive text is required). One question though: do we also need another link re the loss of DVD playback codecs in win10? see: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/08/microsoft-wants-you-to-pay-12-for-dvd-playback-in-windows-10/ Or is this covered by the codec pack? |

Fixed in build 1753. Rusty: DVD player application is DVD player available for free for some installations for a limited time. MM4 offers downloading FFDShow, so the only thing to play DVD and MPEG2 should be installing FFDShow and switching Mpeg2 and DVD decoding on in FFDSHow video decoder options (so the same as in previous versions of Windows). |
