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.

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).

I was losing hope with GomPlayer... I'd reinstalled it and gomstreamer several times, tried SQ live, SQ and HQ standard with no hope.. Tried VLC player, tried to find restreams... Then found this thread.

Hit the play button a half dozen more times after it told me it didnt work.. and it decided to work all of a sudden.

I've been unable to watch live matches for ~2 weeks because of this.. And all it took was to spam play a more times. :/ Rageface.

Ah well, I've watched the vods now and know how to deal with gomplayer. For those having the same problem, just keep hitting play

Nope, browser has nothing to do with it. I used both firefox then Chrome same problem. I even went direct through the gomplayer with the GSL link.

I believe its a server issue on their part or internet connection issue on our part... or even software issue (gom Player). Anyway, its working now.

I happen to believe the problem is linked to the website, and not (or very seldom) the player.

I have experienced the same error many times and mostly fixed it by hitting "play" till it works. This I believe is related to a short-term disconnect of the stream (ie. poor wifi, lag, network timeout or bottleneck).

But whenever GomTV experiences a major break down (ie. too many simultaneous users), I believe that after they reset their streaming equipment, they post a new stream URL (to avoid another crash from users hitting play). The users clicking the pre-loaded/cached web page, will now get the error. And since most browser cache the recent pages, the users must do a hard refresh (or switch browser) which explains the part about why it sometimes works in other browsers.

My conclusion is, there is no one step solution to fix this, but try with a little patience and methodical ruling out elements. It usually works for me. I hope this post may cast a little light on the problem and possible solutions to it.

found out that my router firewall(not the one from windows lol) that was blocking connections take this quote from SC2 Forums looks like it worked
Opening ports solved the problem. Make sure your firewall + router have ports 80,843,63800 open (I'm not sure which of these is/are most important

That I had never thought of, will try it next time. Nothing else seems to work.

I understand why they are against restreaming and that's understandable - but it sure is frustrating when you keep getting that 51 error...!

Nothing's working for me . Has there been any recent fix for this? I tried opening task manager and killing GomTVStreamerLive.exe, still getting error. Reinstalled a couple times, also tried Korean version, nothing worked. Could my router be blocking the connection and causing the error?

Uninstall and don't watch GSL; that's what I did.

If they have crappy software, they shouldn't expect people to watch their stuff.

This problem is somewhat tricky, becouse its not always your fault. I mean, sometimes the gom server cant send you the video stream 8(.

In my case, if reinstall did not work, even format C: did not work, but after some time, worked alone.

*Important: if you are watching a stream, and gom suddenly stops, dont press play! Press Stop, wait 5-10 seconds then press play. That way you lower the chances of the gom streamer to bug.

Reinstall the streamer (not the gom player). Easiest way to do this is to uninstall the streamer then run GSL and it will automatically download.

Ahh might have to try the task manager thing. I got this error really annoying.

Most of the posts I've seen everywhere else (including on the Gom site) suggest that error 51 is caused by a non updated version of Gom Player. This may be one cause, but is not the only reason, as I made sure my player was up to date.
Bleh.

This problems seems to be an on and off thing, which could be at GOM's end instead of ours. For example, i had this problem for a couple of days before i could view the stream again with no remedy to it.

I had closed the gom player recently, and it still had lingering processes running. When I cleared them, using ctrl+alt+delete, it worked again

When you connect to the gom player it will check your bandwidth and if it isn't enough for the stream then it will deny the connection so as to not waste resources on lagging connections. It only happens on the free stream as on the paid stream they will allow you to connect regardless of bandwidth since you are a paying customer. Note: if you generally have a good internet connection then it probably isn't an error on your end.

If you get this error when using a paid stream then there is something seriously wrong as it shouldn't be denying the connection.

Note: the 0x00000071 error means the player can't connect to the GOM servers.

Is there any way to get the player to use a different port or something? Something like port 80 or 8080?

Yeah i always had this issue and still have the issue its quite annoying that they cant make some alternate solutions like making an "official" twitch stream or another streaming service and just stream the low Quality stream there as well

I get this, restarting the video just doesn't work ever.

It's pretty sad that the biggest SC2 tournament uses such crap for their streams >.<

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.


This worked for me. Also I would advise people to remember to double check if you allow gom player access through firewall when reinstalling.

Starting from IE, reinstalling everything, closing gom programs manually using task manager all result in the same error. Help!

Sadly, it's the only workaround that works for me too. I've not been able to watch the GSL for many months now, and killing the gomstreamer process, reinstalling or spamming the play button won't change anything...

I want a twitchtv restream, gom's software is terrible

I bought a new computer and it started working JUST fine T_T_T ... Then I recently switched back and it started to work on my old PC again. I really dislike this software, can't believe they stream with such garbage lol. People who say they tried everything; do you have new and updated PC?

Yeah, that's how the problems started. It works on my old mac, but not on my new PC.

I did a full uninstall through the control panel (there are 2 GOMTV programs to uninstall, the player and streamer) then downloaded and reinstalled it again and it worked great

if your gom players crushes, usually gom live streamer (live stream add-on of gom player) is still on. you can end it from taskmaneger processes.

do this and try again.
