Issues with Windows Media Player on Windows

It appears that Windows Media Player had trouble with the encoding of the mp4 files for resolutions >360p. I still have not found the reason as to why this happens, and I probably will be putting off any more investigation into this issue until I start writing this tool from scratch.

It does, however, seem to work fine with 360p.


In the meantime, use VLC on Windows. Works flawlessly.

Update on Issues with Windows Media Player on Windows Systems

It appears that the reason behind this bug is the inability of legacy systems like Windows Media Player to play separated video and audio tracks. Will work on an option to combine audio and video streams.
