First make sure you have properly installed the latest version of the software. Secondly, make sure you have a recent version of Microsoft DirectX installed. Thirdly, there are some settings for Media Player Classic that you can change: Start Media Player Classic and click on View in the top menu, then click on Options… (the last item) and then click on Output (under Playback). Then put the settings for DirectShow Video to System Default (the first option). Then close Media Player Classic and try again to play streaming files. If it still doesn’t work, you could try the other video options too (DirectX 7 and DirectX 9).
