What type of player was being used?

Comment 3 Alan Young 2009-07-16 22:57:20 UTC

Duh, cannot read properly. Sorry.

Comment 4 Alan Young 2009-07-17 04:53:38 UTC

It looks like that is a WMAPro file, which is not supported by the players. The correct workaround is to use transcoding by disabling native playback.
