Author Topic: Windows Media Player cannot connect to the server (Read 17839 times)

I try to watch the live broadcast but it seems that some websites do not support most video players just like RealPlayer and Windows Media Player, etc. So I'm trying to fix this problem but no solutions yet, however I have searched google but no results

Code: [Select]

0xC00D1198: Cannot connect to the server
Windows Media Player cannot connect to the server hosting the content you want to play. You may encounter this error message for one of the following reasons: 

The name of the server hosting the content is not valid. If you typed a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) address in the Open URL dialog box, ensure that the file name is spelled correctly and the path to the file is correct, and then try again. If you clicked a link on a Web page, the link may not be valid. 
The server is busy and is not accepting new connections. Try to connect to the server at a later time. 
The proxy server settings for Windows Media Player are not configured properly. Verify that your proxy server settings are correct. 
To verify your proxy server settings
On the Tools menu, click Options, click the Network tab, and then verify your settings in the Streaming proxy settings area. 
 Note 

If you do not know what your proxy server settings should be, on the Network tab, select a protocol, click Configure, and then select Autodetect proxy settings or Use proxy settings of the Web browser (available for HTTP protocol only).

It is working now, but I only read English lol.

Post a link to a video itself and I will see if it plays for me.

Also install this (It is is what I have installed) and see if it helps
