How to open MPCPL file?
The most common problem when using Media Player Classic Playlist is that a specific MPCPL is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that MPCPL files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MPCPL file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Media Player Classic
In this case, you should first verify that the Media Player Classic application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Media Player Classic in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file MPCPL with Media Player Classic. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open MPCPL files.
Programs to open MPCPL file
Remember to download programs supporting MPCPL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Media Player Classic with MPCPL files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MPCPL file still does not use the Media Player Classic program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the MPCPL file with the Media Player Classic application.
Step 3. Update Media Player Classic to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Media Player Classic program, it is possible that Media Player Classic Playlist requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the SourceForge.net website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MPCPL file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to MPCPL files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MPCPL file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected MPCPL file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of MPCPL file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MPCPL file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Media Player Classic, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file MPCPL except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move MPCPL to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MPCPL file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
