    Both Groove and Windows Media Player aren't working


    When trying to play a .mp4 file through either one the sound comes out quiet, muffled, and staticky. When I switch over to iTunes and play a .mp4 file it works fine. I've tried various files to make sure it wasn't just the file messing up and I made sure that the speakers were working properly by playing Youtube videos and using iTunes as the default media player, they both seem to work fine. It's just Groove and Windows Media Player messing up.

    media player 'groove music'


    Just a slight correction :
    Windows Media Player is listed in All apps > under alphabet W but not under Windows Accessories.

    Not on my PC, which is a clean Windows 10 install. It is in the Windows Accessories folder as I indicated. Doing a search for "Windows Media Player" should also allow launching it.

    New Windows Media Player Plugin for Firefox

    Anyone who uses Windows Vista and Mozilla Firefox may be pleased to hear that the Windows Media Player team has now released a plugin for Firefox that should allow the browser to play WMP content on websites. Here are the steps to get it working:
    • Installation of the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin may require administrative access to your PC. It is recommended that you close all other open browser windows before continuing with the installation.
    • Click the Install button to automatically download and install the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin.
    • Depending on your security settings, you may see a Security Warning dialog box. Click Install to install the plugin.
    There is a known issue if you are using Firefox version 2.0.0.3 on Windows Vista with the installer failing with error code -203. To work around this simply restart Firefox (you will get a notification that Windows Vista will be changing the Firefox compatibility settings) and then install again - the second time should succeed.

    The download is available here, and the new plugin works on all versions of Windows XP and Windows Vista (although it is mostly intended for Vista, as that currently has no WMP support in Firefox).
