rd27 Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 I have a torrent downloading that shows one of its three files as "streamable", but the stream button in the playback column for the torrent says "unsupported".On a related note, it would be nice if we could right click in the files list and choose stream. Or even right click in the torrent list also, the button approach is a little off from the rest of the GUI.Build 35406 on XP SP3Thanks,d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butch Coolidge Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 does anybody have an answer to this? i use streaming option a lot. most times it works great, but sometimes it says "unsupported" and i can't figure out why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Some file types cannot be streamed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch Coolidge Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Some file types cannot be streamed.O.O ya don't say?? i'm not talking about streaming pdf's here, i'm wondering why sometimes mp4's and avi's won't stream. what's even weirder is that the pieces start to download sequentially as they should and after few minutes, streaming stops and i get the 'unsupported' message...

ciaobaby Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 O.O ya don't say?? i'm not talking about streaming pdf's hereIf YOU do NOT inform us of the file type you are trying to stream WE DO NOT KNOW, and therefore can only give generic replies. BETTER and complete information gets you better answers.what's even weirder is that the pieces start to download sequentially as they should and after few minutes, streaming stops and i get the 'unsupported' message...Probably because the pieces required are NOT available at that point in time.

ciaobaby Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 then it moves on to the next available pieceSure, but if it is playing the video file when the next piece is not available, it is going to fail with an error, is it not?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
