But unfortunately, your screen displays an error stating &#8220;Video File Cannot be Played&#8221; instead of the video you want to look at. This might happen when you try to play videos on your system or your Web Browser such as Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Bing, etc). This article talks about the reasons why one might encounter this issue and also explains in-depth all the possible solutions you can try to fix the \u201cthis video file can\u2019t be played\u201d error codes 224003, 232001, 232011, and 102630.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Fix the \u201cThis Video File Cannot Be Played\u201d Error?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This section discusses various solutions, such as restarting the Media player, playing the video files on a different Media player, closing any unwanted application running in the background, freeing up RAM, and disabling Hardware acceleration. If those solutions were not able to fix the \u201cvideo can\u2019t be played\u201d error. Then, your video files saved locally might have been corrupted or damaged. In that case, the best solution is to use a Video Repair Tool to repair corrupt video files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you are browsing or streaming video files online. Then you can try solutions like refreshing the web page, closing and restarting your browser, playing the same videos on a different web browser, checking the network connection, playing the video files in an incognito window, disabling all extensions in your web browser, etc. are some of the solutions to help you fix the error code 224003, 232001, 232011, 102630, etc. That states the video cannot be played on your web browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Table of Contents<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#fix-video-cannot-be-played-on-browser\">Fix \u201cThis Video Cannot be Played\u201d on Web Browser (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Microsoft Edge, Bing)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#fix-video-cannot-be-played-on-system\">Fix \u201cThis Video Cannot be Played\u201d on System<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fix-video-cannot-be-played-on-browser\">Fix \u201cThis Video Cannot be Played\u201d on Web Browser (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Microsoft Edge, Bing)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"#refresh-web-page\">Refresh the Web Page<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#relaunch-web-browser\">Close and relaunch the Web Browser<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#play-videos-on-another-browser\">Play the Videos on another Browser<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#clear-browser-cache\">Clear Browser Cache and Cookies and Browsing History<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#check-internet-connection\">Check Internet Connection<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#try-playing-the-video-incognito-mode\">Try Playing the Video in Incognito Mode<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#use-vpn\">Use VPN<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#reset-browser-settings-to-default\">Reset Browser Settings to Default<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#update-browser\">Update the Browser<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#download-the-video-files\">Download and View the Video Files<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"refresh-web-page\">1: Refresh the Web Page<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Suppose you are watching a video(s) on a Web page. Then, I suggest you try refreshing the web page. This will usually help you fix temporary glitches and issues that might stop you from playing the video files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the issue still continues even after you have tried refreshing the web page. Then, you can try closing and restarting the Web Browser you are using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"relaunch-web-browser\">2: Close and relaunch the Web Browser to Play the Unplayable Video Files<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The second fix you can try is to restart the browser. Closing and restarting anything is a sure-shot way to fix any minor issues, errors, and glitches, including clearing temporary issues and problems that might be stopping you from viewing and playing video file(s).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If solutions like refreshing the web page or relaunching the web browser are unable to resolve the issue of the video file cannot be played. Then, you can try playing the same video file on another Web Browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"play-videos-on-another-browser\">3: Play the Videos on another Browser<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Playing the same video file helps one identify whether the issue is specific to the Browser or with the website or the video files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you were unable to play video files on Google Chrome. I recommend you try viewing the same video files on other Web Browsers, such as Edge, Bing, or any other explorer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you were able to play the videos without any issues on other browsers, then the issue might be with your Web Browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"clear-browser-cache\">4: Clear Browser Cache and Cookies and Browsing History<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In such cases, it becomes important to get rid of Browser Cache and Cookies that might be hampering your Browser performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Browsers such as Google, Safari, Firefox, etc., save site data and cached images to load data more quickly the next time you visit a page. As more cache accumulates, this might cause the browser to become unresponsive or show lagging issues and, at times, display <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catdatarecovery.com\/video-repair\/troubleshoot-video-playback-issues\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">video playback errors<\/a>, including the \u201cvideo cannot be played\u201d error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, it becomes important to regularly clean your browser\u2019s saved cookies, cache, and browsing history. To resolve the issue of cannot play video files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But in case the issue still persists on other Web browsers, then you might have to check with your Internet connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"check-internet-connection\">5: Check Internet Connection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Streaming or viewing video files over the Internet requires a stable and high-speed internet connection. If you tried earlier solutions like refreshing the web page, launching the web browser, and playing the same videos in another browser, then the issue might be due to a slow or unstable internet connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In such cases, it is highly recommended to verify the source of the problem and check the Wi-Fi speed; if the speed is not an issue, try to refresh your internet connection or reset your Wi-Fi router. One can also try switching to a wired connection if it is available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"try-playing-the-video-incognito-mode\">6: Try Playing the Video in Incognito Mode<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At times, the issue can be due to a conflict between the video file or the functionality of the web browser and the web extensions or add-ins. Therefore, this results in the inability to play the video file. Suppose you are sure that the issue is due to interference by the browser plug-ins. Playing the same video file in Incognito mode can be helpful. Running Incognito mode runs the browser in a safe mode without any interference from extensions and add-ins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, letting you know if the issue is caused by extensions or due to other reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Copy the link to the web page or the video file you want to view.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open an Incognito window or tab in your preferred browser.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paste and go to the link that you want to view.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Try playing the video file that you were unable to play on your Web Browser.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Suppose you are able to play the video on the Incognito browser without any issues. Then, you can blame added web extensions for the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In that case, I recommend you try disabling all the added or installed extensions and re-enabling them one at a time. This helps you find the problematic one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"use-vpn\">7: Use VPN<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some Web Browsers often restrict access to some of the features and services in various regions. <br>So if you&#8217;re unable to play the video or if your videos are geo-restricted on Google Chrome in your country. You can use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to privately connect to a network in some other location. This helps you skip the website restrictions in your default region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But make sure you use a highly reputable VPN tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"reset-browser-settings-to-default\">8: Reset Browser Settings to Default<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Any recently made customization or changes in the default settings of your Web Browsers might also be the culprit behind the problem of video not being played on your browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, resetting the browser settings might be helpful in fixing the issue if it was due to adjustments in the settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next option in this list is to update the Web Browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"update-browser\">9: Update the Browser<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Updates are usually designed to improve the performance, resolve any glitches, and fix any problems users are facing with the service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you think the issue \u201cThis video file cannot be played 232011, or 224003 or any other error code that might stop you from watching your videos is due to using an old or outdated browser. Then, the solution is to check for any pending updates and upgrade your browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"download-the-video-files\">10: Download and View the Video Files<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are facing any issues while playing the videos online. The last solution on this list is to download those video files and play them on your system using any Media Player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are facing the issue on browsers or the files were saved locally. You can try the following solutions to help you resolve the \u201cVideo cannot be Player\u201d issue that might have occurred while you were trying to play the video files that were downloaded or saved locally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fix-video-cannot-be-played-on-system\">Fix \u201cThis Video Cannot be Played\u201d on System<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"#restart-media-player\">Restart the Media Player<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#play-video-files-on-a-different-media-player\">Play the Video on a Different Media Player<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#free-up-ram\">Free up RAM and Close Other Unwanted Applications<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#use-cat-video-repair-tool\">Use CAT Video Repair Software<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"restart-media-player\">1: Restart the Media Player<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Start the list with the easiest solution first. Closing and restarting the Media Player that displayed the error \u201cThis video files cannot be played 232001, 232011, 224003, etc. can be a useful troubleshooter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to refreshing the web page, closing and restarting the Media Player can fix any temporary glitches and errors, free up system resources required to run the Media Player, and reset any settings to their default. Thereby fixing the issue caused by temporary glitches, resource constraints, or user-modified customization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suppose this issue is not resolved even after relaunching the Media Player. Then, the issue might be with the Video files rather than the Media Player. In such cases, it is necessary to try playing the same file on a different Media player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"play-video-files-on-a-different-media-player\">2: Play the Video that was showing the &#8220;This Video File Cannot Be Played&#8221; Error on a Different Media Player<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Play the video files that were displaying \u201cThis video file cannot be played error\u201d on a different Media Player.<br>Suppose you have encountered the issue when you tried playing the videos on Windows Media Player Player; try playing the video files on VLC or any other media player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"free-up-ram\">3: Free up RAM and Close Other Unwanted Applications To Fix &#8220;This Video File Cannot Be Played&#8221; Problem<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At times, the issue of video not being played might be due to resource constraints. Your system might be running short of essential resources, so you play video files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Navigate to the <strong>Task Manager window<\/strong>. A list of all the applications running in the background will appear on your screen. Right-click on any application you want to close and click the <strong>End Task option<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have closed some of the applications running in the background, try playing the same video files on any Media Player. See if this solution was helpful in resolving the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"use-cat-video-repair-tool\">4: Use CAT Video Repair Software To Repair &#8220;This Video File Cannot Be Played&#8221; Video Files<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If none of the solutions helped fix the video can\u2019t be played error, your video files might have become corrupt or damaged.
