osmanaramovic Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I can not open some video files in the gallery. Whenever I try to open some of these, a message "A plugin is needed to display this conten" apears. Does anybody have idea what to do???

toolmaker123 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 "use IE browser".... "failure isnt an option... it comes free with windows..." I have Chromebook and I am limited on the video players I am able to download; many of us are on mobile devices that require certain formats ONLY.

wgigi Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Anything in the gallery that shows a black box with pointer in it I cannot play. Click on it and another black frame with a bar in the middle. Another no play. Granted, I am computer stupid, but thought this was supposed to be cleared up.

Omnius Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 There have been fairly straightforward and detailed tutorials posted in various fora here describing how to convert video files to a universally playable format. There have also been a couple of moderators who have taken it upon themselves to convert videos posted by those who (I'll be nice) haven't seen the tutorials. If there are some you can't view, wait a bit and perhaps it will show up converted later. hotwal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MarkB89 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) I also get that error message in Firefox (Windows) when a video has this thumbnail: My simple question is: What format is that, so that IE can play the files? What abilities has IE which FF does not have? EDIT: I could answer it by myself. The thumb is irrelevant. And the other format is just an AVI.

ermete Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 My 5 cents I wrote in another topic that I cant watch some gallery, Ive found a workaround but only because I know my machine and what I run. Well my idea to solve the problem without workaround or tricks it to "oblige" uploaders to use a standard which could be the avi/mp4 format. Maybe the uploaders wont agree but I think that spending 5 mins to convert their filetype from xy to avi/mp4 is not a waste of time and they will gain in prestige. Where is the satisfaction if Im the only one who can watch the movie I uploaded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
