Green screen on streaming video - help

[missmyzte]

This is driving me crazy so I'm hoping someone can help.

I have Windows XP and am using Window Media Player 11. Whenever there is streaming video (for example, on the front page of Spurs.com or NBA.com's broadband videos) I can hear audio but all I see is a green screen where the video should be.

I did a search and found a patch that should fix it (I thought), but it didn't.

I can't find anything in Window's help files.

Any suggestions?

I'm not trying to be snarky, but you might want to try a standalone media player like MPlayer.

And based on the file types that you're playing, checking for updated codecs.

The vids are embedded in the websites and are looking for Windows Media, not sure a standalone media player is going to help with that.

I checked for updated codecs, everything is current.

Use the All-in-one Code pack. From the site posted above me.

Ooooh, that's digusting!

I'm trying to see the live video-casts from Spurs.com during the games and the NBA.com broadband videos.

I downloaded the All-in-one codecs from the site and now sometimes the screen is green, sometimes it's white.
But still no video. :(

Try right clicking on the green screen in the embedded movie and click options then on Video Acceleration go from Max to None.

For Windows Media Player 11 click Tools > Options > Performance Tab > then Video Acceleration to none.

[missmyzte]

If you pull up NBA Broadband video, you can't right-click on it so that didn't do anything ...
So I opened up Windows Media Player and into the tool option, the Video Acceleration was grayed out so I couldn't change it! I clicked to 'restore defaults', that made the Video Acceleration active and I changed it to none.

Long story less long - IT WORKED!!! Thank you E20!!!

I've been to several GTG's and have met a lot of the people on here. My next trip is to Utah for Game 3 though.
