Troubleshoot MOB Files

Troubles Opening MOB Files

Missing Microsoft Windows Media Player

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open MOB Files" when trying to open your MOB. When this happens, it is commonly due to Microsoft Windows Media Player missing in %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the MOB file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.

Tip: When another MOB application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.

Wrong Version of Microsoft Windows Media Player is Installed

Sometimes your installed version of Microsoft Windows Media Player won't support your MOBTV Video File file. Installing the latest version of Microsoft Windows Media Player from Microsoft Corporation is recommended. Most of the time your MOBTV Video File file was created by a newer Microsoft Windows Media Player than what you have installed.

Tip: Investigate your MOB file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.

Conclusion: The majority of MOB file opening issues are due to not having the correct Microsoft Windows Media Player version installed.
