So I just downloaded a torrent for Thor: The Dark World and when I try to play it, the Windows Media Player claims that It doesn't support the file type or codec that was used to compress the file.

But over the last few days I downloaded torrents for Spectre and Sicario and they worked perfectly fine.

Apologies if this is a stupid question but could someone help me out here?

Get MPC-HC or mpv and kill yourself.

What the fuck are you doing?

Use a real video player, like VLC. Then you don't need to install dodgy codec packs that contain who knows what malware in them. If VLC does not play your movie out-of-the-box, then the file is corrupted or specifically made to trick you into downloading and installing malware-laden codecs.

Seriously.

Since /g/ is full of cucks today(and all days) I will help.

If your computer is shit, look up CCCP - Combined Community Codec Pack

If your computer isn't shit, look up KCP - Kawaii Codec Pack.

My vlc cannot play h.265, that's why I downloaded allplayer.

>>53568449
What about k-lite?
>>
>>53568620
Just go with CCCP. Even though I said you should use it if you have a shit computer, it's actually really good. It should automatically come with MPC-HC.
>>
>>53568646
I'm not OP. I just asked because I've been using k-lite since forever and it always worked for me
>>
Use vlc player. It's much better, usually don't need to do anything else + add subtitle files
>>
Sorry OP you suffer from stupiditis. It's incurable, but you can manage by paying the stupid tax and buying your media.
>>
>>53568646
CCCP is deprecated

>>53568403
>Windows Media Player
Enjoy getting exploited.
