Video window stuck at buffering

[Pointage]

Hi Guys,

I've installed ST on my new PC with Win 7 64bits. I have my K-lite codecs up-to-date. When i click on a st link, ST opens a video window and starts to buffer and i start to wait, to wait but nothing happens.
i've read all the guides for ST and some threads but nobody seems to have this problem.

Any thoughts ?

Thank you

No, bar status is at 100% but no image or sound but always on buffering (115 seconds completed).

Which WMP (Windows Media Player) do you have?

Which WMP (Windows Media Player) do you have?

I've installed Win 7 without Windows Media Player. Only codecs and players from K-Lite & VLC.

ST requires Windows Media Player to function.

Hi guys, I have windows 7 64 bit, mediaplayer 12, ffdshow codecs installed and the streamtorrent player window gets to 100% and keeps switching between connecting and retry and never actually loads any video or sound. The progress bar is mostly green and at 70% yet still nothing. I get this with most channels that I try to run and haven't successfully loaded a channel with streamtorrent yet, anyone had the same problem and or have a solution for it?

Hm not sure what the issue could be. Maybe its WMP12 or anyone else with WMP12 that has it working properly?

yes, i have seen this before. it generally indicates a "break" somewhere between ST and WMP, and there are two things you can try.

1. un-install/re-install the latest WMP. this will correct the problem 9 times out of 10.

2. if the above doesn't work, try this: when you get to the point where it "keeps switching between connecting and retry," switch to the main ST window, right-click on the STream and select "Lock." Once the STream is locked, you can close the ST-video window, and the STream will continue running in the background. now, back in the main ST window, right-click the stream again and select Properties -> Details. Here you will see a line that says "Local ID" and a number. remember this number.

now, in your favorite video player (VLC, MPC, WMP, etc.) open the following URL:
http://127.0.0.1:15900/<local ID#>.asf

e.g., if the "local ID" of the STream is 1, then you would open http://127.0.0.1:15900/1.asf in your media player.

good luck.

PS. if method #2 doesn't work, it indicates a blockage at your firewall of port # 15900.
