0.8.5beta test 4 will not open files

Postby joe935 » 03 May 2006 22:52

When I click on a wmv file i get the following error:

Unable to open 'C:\My Music\MP3s\Wizard.wmv'

this file was playable with 0.8.4a
2 other wmv files come up with same "unable to open error".
also same error with MP3s
OS = Win98

This has been fixed since 0.8.5test4. You can try the fix on the 0.8.6 branch ( http://nightlies.videolan.org )
