FLAC can't be played from result tab

Post by DRKUT »

Hi there!

In search-result tab none of FLAC files are playable (see screenshot https://prnt.sc/zlSGwfO7tKlC). These files are alive, not deleted, and I can play them with external players.
However mp3 and m4a files in result tab are played successfully.

I checked "ffmpeg.exe -codecs" into DuplicateCleaner folder and it said that flac is supported.

How can I play flac-files?

It doesn't use ffmpeg in the internal player - it uses Windows media.
You may need to add a codec to your system so Windows media player can play flac.

In my case "K-Lite Codec Pack" helped.
Thank you!
