We installed XP service pack 2 this morning and since

then we can't play .avi files from our fileserver(win2000

powered).  If I copy the same file locally it plays

fine.  Also, MPEG and WMV files still play locally AND

remotely.  Any ideas?   TIA!!

That's interesting, what codec's do the AVI's use?  For things like DivX you

would want to make sure you reinstall whatever decoder you are using.

Thanks so much for the quick reply Chris.

The codec is Indeo=AE video 4.4 Decompression Filter.  We=20

tried reinstalling, still nothing.  When i copy the same=20

file locally and play it with the same media player it=20

works fine.  My coworker tried WMP 10 beta but still no=20

luck.  Every other OS besides SP2 the file plays fine=20

even if it is being pulled across the network.  Also...=20

we tried disabling Windows Firewall in SP2 and still no=20

luck.  Any other thoughts?  Are you on SP2?   I could=20

send you the file. Or since I am pretty sure its a SP2=20

issue is there someone else you might want to direct me=20

to?   Thanks

Did you get the latest copy of it?  When I open my folder of test files in

SP2 I get the following -

I actually have exactly the same problem.  Unlike Seth's situation, I'm using

a file server that is Linux-based.  It is the Netgear ND508, manufactured

about 5-6 years ago.



I too was able to play *.AVI files fine off of the network disk on all my

machines, three of which have Windows 98 SE and Windows Media Player 9 and

one of which has Windows XP Profesional (before the SP2 update).  Windows 98

SE with Windows Media Player 9 still plays the *.AVI files fine, as did my

Windows XP Pro-based machine with Windows Media Player 9 BEFORE the SP2

update.



Therefore, I initally noticed it after installing SP2 on my Windows XP Pro

machine that I could play *.AVI files, with sound and no picture.  I

contacted Microsoft, but they just suggested reinstalling Windows Media

Player 9 or upgrading to the "then" Windows Media Player 10 Beta.  I've since

upgraded to the final release of WM Player 10, and no luck, although my files

play locally.



When I right-click on an *.AVI Video file in Windows Explorer, it indicates

on the "Summary" tab, that the video compression has been done by Indeo Video

5.  I recorded them using my Intel Pro PC Camera, manufactured about 5-6

years ago.



If anyone has any luck, I'd greatly appreciate feedback, as Microsoft has

been no help, and I think Windows Media Player 10 was their supposed fix,

which was no help at all.

Add me to the list. Same scenario, since updating to SP2 I cannot play .AVI

movies across the network from a Windows 2000 server share.

I have a camera set-up on motion detection that saves the captured .AVI

(Indeo Video 5) to the server share fo security. I had been viewing them

every day using Media Player 9 across the wire from the network share with no

issue.

Since updating to SP2 I can no longer play the video's directly from the

share. I have the firewall disabled and also tried WMP 10 but I get the same

problem. (although WMP10 reports codec problems although this is incorrect as

the file plays fine locally.)

I can only play the files if I copy them from the sever to a local drive.

This is not a codec or WMP issue it appears to be an SP2 bug. Looks to me

like the video file is corrupted as it is cached locally from the network

share?

This is correct - those files will not be able to be played back remotely.



You could change to a different codec (any, really, from any other vendor, I

believe) if you wanted this scenario to work with SP2.

Zachd:

If you dont mind me asking, why wont it work?

I note that you have added this answer to at least one other post but you

dont really expand on any details.

I have checked the Microsoft Knowledge base but i can find nothing relating

to SP2 & Indeo codecs.

If it works locally why doesn't it work over a mapped network drive?



Any info gratefully received.

Yes, that would really be very interesting to know why this shouldn't work

anymore. With our product we rely on Indeo Video 5 since about 3 years, and

we have a quite large library of videos using this codec. It was not obvious

that this was going to happen, was it (not being able to replay them)?

Wel Well Well



I have excactly same problem ,all machines on network XP Pro ,

before upgrade to SP2 no porblems with streaming over network

right now nothing can be played , Media player is displaying some

error msg



" 0x C00D11CD That may occur when another program or operating system

component encounters a problem but does not communicate the nature of

the problem to Windows Media Player " " ,

all rigths are granted , folders shared  , please note all was fine on

SP1 . well im thinking it must be a bug in SP2 , M$ hope you guys fix

this fast

( patches )  or come up with some KB article with info regading this

problem

( some registry fix ? )  ,  so far i tried version 9 and 10 of media

player and as every one else no problem when i copy a file locally,

it can be played no probs . funny thing is that i cannot play any

streaming avi from sp2 machines ( 2 on network ) as long as the

connect to machine with sp2 installed , 3d  system  on lan is still

SP1 and there is no problem when SP2 machines stream from it. Of

course , error occurs  the other way . this all would point us to a

problem / bug  with sp2 ( sharring permissions ? , mediaplayer doesnt

recognize them properly ? , network authentifiation with MP ? , ) any

input welcomed besides  " reinstal your drivers/ codecs /  media

player  "  because simply that is NOT  the solution.
