WMP: Won't play inside of IE

gwilks98 · 02-17-2006, 12:43 PM

WMP just sits there and doesn't play video. Occasionally, it'll get stuck on "connecting." If I right click on the black screen and select "Error Message", I get this error: Encountered a network error. Here are the details:

C00D11B3: Encountered a network error
Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the Player encountered a network error. You might encounter this error message for one of the following reasons:

The server is not available (for example, the server is busy or not online). Try again later.
You are not connected to the local area network (LAN) or to the Internet. Connect to the network or Internet, and then try again.
The proxy server settings for the Player are not configured properly. Verify that your proxy settings are correct, and then try again.
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.
Notes

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).
If you are connected to the Internet through a dial-up connection, you might not be able to choose the proxy server. For more information, consult your Internet service provider (ISP) or network administrator.
Error ID = 0xC00D11B3, Condition ID = 0x00000000

I know it's not a proxy issue because it happens on multiple networks, including my home network which has no proxy or filters. Just to be sure, I've adjusted all the proxy settings one way or the other.

I've already re-installed WMP 10, and I've reset IE to defaults. support.microsoft.com hasn't been much help.

Edit: I've also tried

Any ideas?

This happens to me all the time and I figure WMP 10 just sucks and move on to the next p0rN clip. Kidding about that last part.

It's not just you if that helps.
