Windows Media Player does not show video
Hi,
I have built a brand new PC which will be used to connect to my TV some I can play music, pictures and videos.
Sometimes when I drag a video clip into the playlist and press the play button the sound will play but I just get a black screen. Other times it works just fine

If it truly is the exact same video file playing 5 out of 6 times--- as simple as it sounds, I'd try rebooting your PC. If the problem persists then look into 1) codec related conflicts, and 2) media player conflicts. Try using one these programs to help identify the issue. Again, using an alternative (reliable) player rather than fight ongoing codec issues may be a better approach. If you want to continue the fight, try uninstalling other video player/creator programs until you locate the culprit.

Would this be the case even though they will play 5 out of 6 times?
I normally use
K-Lite Codec Pack 10.05
Thanks
