I am having a terrible problem on ONE remote computer getting videos to play through the web interface and Videolan VLC. On my other remove computers, it works fine. The web interface comes up, I select the video to play, it loads an M3U file [with "open with"]. If I just hit "enter," it loads VLC but I get an error message saying "Unable to Open. http:\SERVER/gbpvr/public/download.aspi? rid=_wECuhE"& path--wFI&mode=1" or something like that - hard to transcribe.
I get the same error if I try to open the M3U file directly with VLC.EXE.
I've been playing with this for several hours (trying to change the Tools/Options/Applications/M3U settings in firefox, and trying to change or delete the Folder Options/File Type/M3U in windows, but I can't seem to get it to work. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling VLC a couple of times. I'm pulling what little hair I have left out. I'd be grateful for some help.
I should say if I run the MPG file directly in VLC, it plays fine. So I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the M3U file getting interpreted properly.
Thank you all (and I apologize if there are instructions somewhere on her for fixing this - I couldn't find them).
