GOM Player includes many codecs (XviD, DivX, FLV1, AC3, OGG, MP4, H263) Along with different media format such as AVI, MPG, MPEG and DAT, GOM Player also supports streaming Windows media format (WMV, ASF, ASX).

Possible Reason:

* Ensure that you have downloaded a genuine version and not a broken file, which is likely to miss some codecs, GOM is a FREE media player with popular audio & video codecs built-in. So you won't need to install separate codecs for most videos. For those videos that require a separate codec, GOM Player will find one.

* Without the appropriate codec, you'll be prohibited from playing AV files/the codec for which the file you are playing is missing (playback error), which prompts you to "Find Codec" screen. In the case you need other codecs, the 'Find Codec' popup will assist you in searching for the correct codec to play your file. If you didn't find any: first reason is likely to be the issue.

Fixes:

*Search Result will be shown on a new internet page. Once youve found it, simply download and install to watch the AV files.

If you were downloading some torrent movies from the internet, sometimes there are fake movies that actually do not need a codec (because you already have them installed), and you just download malwared or spywared codec, which cannot help. Try downloading the movie or a video-clip from a different website.

That's because your GOM player has not contained AVI codec for AVI file playback. You can try other AVI players for you to try such as Leawo Blu-ray Player, 5K Player, JetVideo, UMplayer, SM Player, etc.

You need to have a GOM player installed in your computer to play files with ".gom" extension.

Please get the GOM player for free via the link below :

Open/extract the file after downloading and follow the installation prompts until it's complete. I recommend to restart your PC after the installation process.

Enjoy and Thanks for using FixYa.
