Hi there,
For the past few days I've been trying to get Windows Media Player 10 to play AAC files. I've read that I need to install a DirectShow filter in order to get it to work, but so far nothing I've tried has done anything. I've tried various combinations of Decoders and Parsers, so I don't know if it's a problem with my PC or how I'm installing the things.
Things I have tried include CoreAAC w/ AACParser, and another parser I forget, Envivio TV, and AACPlayer, none with success. AACPlayer won't even work by itself- an error message comes up saying it can't create the filter.
To be exact: "CreateFilter: failed to create filter! hr=0x80040154," then a few more similar ones. The others don't produce messages, just don't seem to do anything.
I've tried this on two computers now, so I realise it's most likely me not registering something or something similar, but to be honest I don't really know very much about codecs or DirectShow, so if anyone out there can give me a tip or two, i'd be grateful.
