It’s a codec issue. You can get the codec if your OEM paid for it, if not you can buy it on the MS store. It sucks but plenty of other codecs have had the same issue in the past on windows, mkv wasn’t playable by windows unless you had a codec for it.
pot player as now my daily driver instead of VLC… It has so many features that VLC is lacking. Willl convert any audio stream to subtitles or another language.
I haven’t used windows in years, but I thought this was just about software patents for these codecs. So it should work in regions where software patents are not a thing then (e.g. Europe)?

And as per usual, VLC seems to somehow have all the codecs already.

win10-11. major oem prebuilt and cto should have it installed, otherwise it’s here:

should be ‘free’ afaik.
for win<10, get WebpCodecSetup.exe from the webm/webp project download archives: https://storage.googleapis.com/downloads.webmproject.org/releases/webp/index.html
