As mentioned in 62408 comment 39: 'LO only supports playback through DirectShow
filters, while "Windows Media Player supports the Media Foundation framework
besides DirectShow".'

Yes i'm aware of the install center which installs the codecs to the system.

All the codec packs bundle LAV Filters.

Tested the file on WMP, and it shows it just like LO, gray frame during
playback. So i tested it in Zoomplayer again and noticed the same gray frame,
but it appears for a split second at the beginning, so it i possible that the
sample file is corrupted at the beginning, as the mpeg-2 sample files here[1]
all play file in WMP and LO. One difference that i did see in MediaInfo is that
attachment 130234 is using the mpeg-ps container.
