Cant play eurosport

Post by Funky »

I have windows 7 and media player 12, I am unbale to play the video or stream. I can only see the high quality stream, which is only eurosport 1 (I wish to watch europsort 2 for the superbikes). My laptop meets all requirements for playing video. When requesting error details I receive this message:
"Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the specified protocol is not supported. If you typed a URL in the Open URL dialog box, try using a different transport protocol (for example, "http:" or "rtsp:")."
can anyone help?

It complies with everything specified on their website you doughnut,

I did watch it in the end, not on europlayer though, on sky player through my xbox. I can only get euro HD through the europlayer.
