[ error ] ofDirectShowPlayer: Cannot load video of this file type. Make sure you have codecs installed on your system. OF recommends the free K-Lite Codec pack.

I have the K-Lite Codec installed.
This is the information I get using MediaInfo (that is included with K-Lite).

My script is this:

void ofApp::setup(){

    movie.loadMovie("D:\downloads\VID_20160603_205751.mp4");
    movie.setLoopState(OF_LOOP_NONE);
    ofSetWindowShape(movie.getWidth(), movie.getHeight());

}

//--------------------------------------------------------------
void ofApp::update(){
    if (!movie.getIsMovieDone()) {
        movie.nextFrame();
        movie.update();
    }
    else {
        printf("done");
    }
}

//--------------------------------------------------------------
void ofApp::draw(){
    movie.draw(0, 0);
}

Here is a video in case it helps (1.6mb)

What could I do? And how can I know is OF is able to find K-Lite?
Changing the video format before loading them with OF is not an option.
