You could use open-source software, where no license discussions will arise.

Or use WMP10. Or 9. Nothing against anyone but it is a bit hard to imagine liking WMP11 on windows XP.
Alternatively, you could try installing it through a WSUS method, if it is availiable.

Should you? Stop using this obsolete crap! And start using cool programs for XP.

MPC-HC (1.6.9.7503) - the very last MPC-HC that use native filters that have DXVA1 HW AVC decoding capability (MPC video decoder).

Media Player Classic - BE

https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpcbe/files/MPC-BE/Release builds/1.4.6/

Also Pot Player is still updated for Win XP and can play YouTube videos even live air!

Seems like a bad opinion for someone in the world of old OSes. From a fundamental definition, Old OSes as a whole, and their respective hardware and a significant portion of the software, are indisputably obsolete, as newer things have come along to do the same things the old ones did for almost all scenarios. But nobody here cares,  And that's a good thing. Granted, I do think WMP11 is a truly terrible piece of software, but that has nothing to do with obselence. To be fair, i think we should be respecting his request of a solution to the issue he faces with WMP11, rather than telling him to use something else (even i am guilty of it).

If people here cared about obselescence we'd all be on the 'latest and greatest' OSes on brand new hardware, running the latest versions of any and all software.

1. to unpack wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu.exe (WinRAR or 7zip)

2. start in turn: umdf.exe , wmfdist11.exe ,  wmp11.exe

3. reboot

WMP can be used to view Youtube in a browser on very slow computers
