I can not play videos or other media
------------------------------------
If you can not play video or audio through openlp, there are several areas that
could be an issue. First thing is to make sure you can play the media file
through your default media player. OpenLP should be able to play any file that
you can play through your default media player.
If you can not play video or audio through OpenLP, the problem is most likely
that the media players have not be properly configured. The recommended media
player for OpenLP is VLC, see the manual for :ref:`config_players` for how to
setup VLC as your default player.
If you can play a file through your media player but not on OpenLP it may help
to enable Phonon for multimedia playback. Go to the OpenLP configuration
:menuselection:`Settings --> Configure OpenLP...` and select the Media tab.
Make sure the check box for `Use Phonon for video playback` is checked.

If you want to use the Phonon player, but it cannot play your media files, you
can look below for how best to set it up.

OpenLP crashes on startup on Windows
