Fix error 0xc00d36b4 (this item is unplayable)

  1. 1

    Open the file in PlayAnyVideo — it decodes the formats the Windows apps skip.

  2. 2

    If it happens in a playlist, open the one file that fails on its own to see whether that file is the problem.

  3. 3

    You do not need a codec pack; codec packs often break other players.

  4. 4

    Open the PlayAnyVideo player in your browser — nothing to install — and drop the file in. Files never leave your device.
