The VideoLAN Forums

I have several asx files on my computer that can be played without problems in Windows Media Player. VLC also used to be able to play them, but not anymore. It now just hangs with nothing happens. I am currently using VLC version 3.0.8.

A search on the internet indicates some others have also run into this problem. So, has VLC stopped support for asx files, or are there other reasons? Thanks.

Please open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before you start the playback, and then paste the full resulting log here or on Pastebin.com if it's too long.

Also upload a short sample of a problematic file to Zippyshare.com (200 MB max) or to WeTransfer.com and then post the link to the file here.

If needed cut it with DGsplit and read here about how to do it:

100 MB max should be enough.
