Many of our readers reported encountering the error message Error loading media File could not be played in Google Chrome.
The issue also appears with the message Error code 23404 or Error 101104, and it’s due to the fact that your browser cannot connect to the video source.
This issue is common for video files, blocking Chrome users from accessing the respective content.
Why does Chrome says File cannot be played?
The error seems to be caused by a conflict with the media player or errors caused by cookies and extensions.
Error loading media may also occur if you are trying to watch a video on a self-hosted website, or if the built-in media player is wrongfully configured.
Fortunately, we’ve managed to come up with a series of fixes to help you fix this issue.
Quick Tip:
The great thing is that you have another option as backup web app while dealing with these issues. Opera comes with resource management for media files.
As for error loading media, Opera has a video pop-out functionality that has significantly improved users’ experience. You can browse on other tabs while the opened video is playing without disruptions.
Opera
The video-pop out is in your control, with separate functions from the normal browsing.
1. Delete cache and cookies
- Click on the Settings menu from Chrome (the three vertical dots in the top right corner), hover on History, then select History.
- Click on the Clear browsing data option.
- Select a Time range for which you want to clear the cache.
- Mark the Cached images and files box, then select Clear data.
Every once in a while, it’s recommended to clear the cache in Google Chrome. Doing so could help fix Chrome errors, including the Loading media: Unknown network error.
Some PC issues are hard to tackle, especially when it comes to missing or corrupted system files and repositories of your Windows.
Be sure to use a dedicated tool, such as Fortect, which will scan and replace your broken files with their fresh versions from its repository.
Chrome and other modern browsers cache a lot of data. The cache size typically exceeds hundreds of megabytes.
The primary goal of a cache is to locate something quickly on the local server rather than having to load it from the whole internet.
However, because of the large number of indexed data, searching time on the local server increases as well when the cache size is large.
As a result, you may occasionally receive an error message in Chrome stating Sorry, the video player failed to load.(error code: 101102).
Once your system is cleaned, it provides your device with more free space and improved speed, so you may be able to play the desired media file in Chrome.
With a specialized cleaning tool that convinced millions of users, it’s possible to erase browsing data entirely from your system.
CCleaner is the right cleanup software when you require optimizing tools like the disk analyzer for freeing up memory, registry cleaner, or Internet cache and history custom clean.
2. Disable hardware acceleration
- Open Settings.
- Scroll down and click Advanced.
- Find Use hardware acceleration when available in the System section.

3. Reset the browser settings

- Go to the Reset and clean up section, then click on Restore settings to their original defaults.
- On the next pop-up window, click on Reset settings.
- Reload Chrome.
4. Update Google Chrome
- Click the three vertical dots icon on the top right corner of the browser.
- Scroll to the Help section.

Pennsylvania has removed hundreds of COVID-19 deaths from the official death count after coroners pointed out the state’s health department numbers did not match their own.
Pennsylvania Health Department officials had included in their count “probable” coronavirus deaths in cases where they believed the virus was the cause of death but did not have confirmation from a positive test result, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
Officials removed over 200 probable deaths from their official tally on Thursday in what they said was an effort to be transparent.
“We realize that this category can be confusing, since it does change over time,” Health Secretary Rachel Levine said.
“At times, there are things we need to review, and potentially revisit the way the data is being analyzed,” she added. “And this is one of those times.”
TRENDING: Here Are the States That Have Slowed Down the Most Due to COVID Shutdowns
The abrupt change came after state coroners pointed to inconsistencies with the state’s death counts and what they had recorded.
“There’s a discrepancy in the numbers,” Charles Kiessling Jr., president of the Pennsylvania Coroners Association, told The Inquirer on Thursday.
“I’m not saying there’s something going on,” he added. “I’m not a conspiracy theory guy. But accuracy is important.”
On Sunday, Pennsylvania increased its coronavirus death toll by 276 overnight to 1,112 total fatalities. The health department reported another spike on Tuesday when the death toll jumped from 1,204 to 1,564.
Levine said that the “deaths did not happen overnight” and that the surge occurred over the last few days.
The department also claimed that the surge was caused by a computer glitch.
Levine announced Tuesday that the department would be reporting “probable deaths related to COVID-19 in addition to confirmed deaths,” but department spokesman Nate Wardle told The Inquirer probable deaths had been included for at least a week prior.
Wardle walked back on his comments Wednesday and said that the probable deaths hadn’t been added to the systems until April 13, and were added to the official state count on Tuesday.
White House coronavirus task force coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx had explained earlier this month that the United States has a “very liberal” recording guidance for COVID-19 deaths.
“There are other countries that if you had a pre-existing condition and let’s say the virus caused you to go to the ICU and then [you] have a heart or kidney problem — some countries are recording that as a heart issue or a kidney issue and not a COVID-19 death,” she said at the coronavirus task force briefing on April 7.
“Right now, we’re still recording it … if someone dies with COVID-19, we are counting that as a COVID-19 death.”
