Re: VLC won't play WMV file
I have a similar issue and started a topic on it a day before you did. (https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.ph ... 85#p404585
The solution that was suggested for me was to use VLC 2.0.5. It seems to work on some wmv files.
You could download and use the portable (zip/7z - no install) version to test it out.
