VLC won't play audio or video

Postby fnerraw » 20 Feb 2017 16:37

I had to do a Windows10 clean install. Everything was going great as I add all my software back but all of a sunned VLC stopped playing audio and video files. I get the following 2 error messages.

Audio Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'file:///D:/Torrents/Music/000%20Ferrell%20Compilation%20Leveled/%28So%20Far%20Away.mp3'. Check the log for details.

Video Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'file:///D:/Torrents/TV%20Shows/01/01%20man.with.a.plan.113.hdtv-lol%5Bettv%5D.mkv'. Check the log for details.

Bothof these exact files played 2 days ago./ I uninstalled and reinstalled VLC but no joy. I can upload the log file if I knew where it is?
