Title: got mp4 loaded but will not play (have screenshot)
Post by: marc brazeal on September 18, 2009, 09:38:30 PM
i keep getting this error when trying to play a video... is it because i dont have the full version yet? I plan on paying for it when i know everything will work with my machine.

maybe i missed something in the forums? please let me know

Probably just a corrupt video file.  Try playing it directly through windows media player outside of E-Touch and I bet you'll get the same error popping up.

You need the K-Lite Codec pack.

Read this thread and follow the instructions:

Then lets us know what happens.

Marc,

You will want to test all of the videos in WMP first to make sure they are working there before trying it in E-Touch, then if they are working WMP and not in E-Touch you have narrowed the problem down to something in E-Touch.

Sorry for the late response! Bad day at work today, no chance to check E-Touch forums today!

If everything works great in WMP, then restart E-Touch.

Select your video. In the upper right you will see the album cover of the video you just selected. Tap/Click the album cover.

You should now see this:

(sorry about my spelling!)
The video should be playing in the upper right corner. Tap/Click it to play fullscreen!

My spelling sucks today!
