Spent Months preparing Videos and building my Autoplay Package
Built on Win7 Ultimate x 64 AMS 8.5
8 pages Running 18 videos in MPEG-4 .mp4 Format
Opening page is set to Auto start the 1st Video
Working fine on my 3 Win7 machines
Tried to run on a laptop and another desktop running Win 8.1
Autoplay launches but the video fails to play,
Just a black window of the Page where the video should appear.
Although on the same machines the videos can be played from the Autorun Video folder by VLC media player etc..
Solution Install WMedia Player Codec pack or KLite Codec pack on 8.1 machine and everything works perfectly.
My question is:
How to install or determine weather the WIN7 or 8.1 Machine has the correct Codec and What is that codec? Since the Codec must be there for the videos to play standalone from the Autoplay Folder.
Any suggestion greatly appreciated
