That's actually a streaming media error, not a local playback error :

Are you trying to play the file directly from a website ? Is there any
chance of right-click in the browser, choose Save As and playing it
from your local hard disk ?
There are some audio and video formats which aren't suitable for
streaming and this could be one which is generating an unexpected
error for the issue the players experiencing.
