I cannot preview a video file that is downloading it says buffering on maybe 50% and stays there and doesnt do anything can anyone help me please.
yeh i get that on some of my downloads as well, not sure if there is anythin u can do sorry
Use VLC player for previewing your audio/video downloads instead of the Bitcomet preview feature.
how would i use VLC to preview it
After you install VLC player
then right click on your torrent task
choose Browse directory to locate the partially downloaded file.
then there are many ways to open these with VLC
you could drag and drop the file onto a shortcut to VLC
or you could rightclick and select open with and find VLC player (you might have to browse for it)
or you could open up VLC player beforehand and drag and drop the file into the VLC player window.
i have just tried previewing again waited 2 minutes it went from 70% to 80 then 90% then its stopped pretty stupid if u ask me not having a preview work properly when a download has finished it might not even play or may be a problem with it and u will have waited all that time.
I have tried opening with windows media player but doesn’t work never mind any way thanks for the help i will not bother with it.
Did you not listen to what i said, use VLC player.
It is the best program for previewing audio/video files.
Just follow the directions i posted above to preview the partial downloads with VLC player.
