[BUG] Fails to stream with MPC-HC or VLC #364

Closed rsporsche closed 2 years ago

rsporsche commented 2 years ago

Describe the bug When trying to watch with MPC-HC or VLC, MPC-HC shows the error "Failed to render the file" and doesn't play and VLC also fails to play and I see the following errors in the debug messages:

"adaptive error: Failed reading https://ott-video-cf.formula1.com:443..." "adaptive error: Failed to create demuxer 0000000000000000 Unknown"

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Click 'MPC-HC' or 'VLC' (or click copy and paste into the MPC-HC/VLC) for any video.

Expected behavior I expect the chosen stream to play in the respective media player.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

F1TV account

I have also tried this on another PC with Windows 10 Home and have the same problem.

This can be closed, I found that MPC-HC is still maintained and installed the version with the K-Lite codec pack from here: https://codecguide.com/download_kl.htm

It now works.

After that I also downloaded and reinstalled VLC and that works too. I don't know what the problem was.
