Troubleshooting Problems Opening OGG Files

Issues Opening OGG Files

VLC Media Player is Not Installed

You attempt to load your OGG file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The OGG File Extension". Usually, this is because you do not have VLC Media Player for %%os%% installed. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.

Tip: Another OGG-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.

VLC Media Player is Out-of-Date

In other instances, your Ogg Vorbis Audio File file version may not be supported by your version of VLC Media Player. You will need to download a newer version of VLC Media Player if you don't have the right version. Most of the time your Ogg Vorbis Audio File file was created by a newer VLC Media Player than what you have installed.

Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the OGG file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.

Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening OGG files are due to having the wrong version of VLC Media Player installed.

Errors opening Ogg Vorbis Audio File files can still occur even with the latest VLC Media Player software installed on your computer. Other OGG opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Problems unrelated to software:
