Are you flashed with the below error message(”cannot create directshow player“) when ever you try to see videos online or online tv?

npdsplay Cannot Create Directshow Player

What is the reason for the error?

Standard WMP plugin (npdsplay.dll) is no longer being supported because of a security flaw and also Windows Vista and some versions of Windows XP do not include the standard WMP plugin. So we have to install it manually to see videos that require Windows Media Player Plugin.

Here is a simple solution for it.

How to eliminate Cannot Create Directshow Player Error?

1.Visit windows media player firefox plugin download and Download the plugin.

2.Close your all browser windows.

3.Install the plugin and restart the browser.

4.Done.

This should eliminate the error.And you should be able to see videos online without any error messages.
