resolved (was: file "died" - so, some codec or library died?)

The file contained here:

Obviously lots of people have played it in the past. But now in March 2023, I'm finding nothing that can play it.
What could have died? and how to resurrect it?
Note, my copy of the file seems ok - as a "Force re-check" on the torrent says all is well. And it was downloaded on a newer box reporting zero file or disk errors.

@blablarg18 I'd download it myself to troubleshoot but it's a bit large for something that I wouldn't otherwise download... that said, what type of players have you tried? I'm guessing you tried the ubiquitous VLC? If so, what was the exact error?
Also, have you tried to see if Handbrake can load it in and convert it to a different format that does normally work for you?

@jrewingwanna I swear this was a real issue, but.... now it's all fine.
And yes I tried Handbrake before posting.
Earlier, on 2 different machines running 2 quite different Windows versions, tried VLC - Win Media - Handbrake - MP4Splitter, all 4 refused to display it.
Now 10 hours later, they're all OK.
Oddball guess here, but - could there be strange codecs that need on-the-fly downloading, and it was unavailable a few hours?
-
@jrewingwanna If you're still curious about this file, someone put it under Freeleech the next 150 hours or so.

@blablarg18 groovy - just tossed it on the download queue
