Cannot play this media file error 0x00000051

Gom player stopped working a few days ago. I din't install a new version, just from one minute to another.

The gom forum says its a codec error, but I can't see how that could be as it was working before. I can't find the "codec finder" they say gom player has.

I use the LQ non paided service.

Had the same problem, although I just got the error once, after I simply hit play it worked like a charm.

Press play again. If it doesn't work, reread this post.

Can't check now, but if it's the same problem I had it "fixed" itself when I launched it from the website via IE instead of Chrome.

Im pretty sure thats the error returned when the server isn't responding.. As it wont be when 100000 nerds load it at the same time. Reinstalling shouldn't change a damn thing.

Reinstalling did not help, tried it. IE din't work. I tried pressing play many times..did not work....I guess it might have been overloaded.

Same problem here, 0x00000051, GOM FAQ is so useless right now. I've reinstalled, downloaded countless codecs and restarted my computer to no avail. Will try running from IE though as both Firefox and Chrome yielded same results -_-

So annoyed if I miss IMNestea tonight.

The error occurs when the server isn't responding. Check your internet connection. I had this problem when my internet connection was suffering from heavy packet losses.

Try to uninstall GOMplayer, then reinstall it and shut down your antivirus program before starting the stream. This is the only way I managed to solve it. My antivirus blocked the streamer from being installed properly when I started the stream (or something like that).
