Klavdivs Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 that's the message I am getting for some torrents after they download. Last week it was a different problem - the sound would play but not the video. I don't know how to fix either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike20021969 Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 (edited) Video/audio playback issues are usually caused by missing a codec, or a codec not being configured properly.MediaInfo can give you information regarding video/audio files including the codecs used. For playback of audio but especially video files, try using PotPlayer or VLC. Both can play back almost anything you can throw at them.

Klavdivs Posted April 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Thanks Mike. Alas, I don't really understand any of that. Though I am trying. Firstly, how do I play one of those non-playing downloads in VLC ( which I do have ) ? The downloaded episode files are all within the uTorrent app. I can't see how I lift them into VLC. I tried right-clicking on the file, hoping for a "Open With ..." option, but I don't get anything like that. Secondly, if I do download MediaInfo. how do I use it. I had a quicklook at that app, it sounds like it would just give me lots of technical gibberish which I couldn't negotiate. To give you an idea how impenetrable all this is to me - all this stuff [ below] at the end of your message - what is it ? Did you want me to use these exe. files ? Where ? How ? I'm sorry to be so useless. maybe I just shouldn't even try to use uTorrent, with my lack of knowhow. But I had to try. When I used to use Pirate Bay 15 years ago, it was never this hard.

rafi Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Click-on-torrent (or an episode in the files-tab) ->"open containing folder" and proceed from there with your downloaded files. uTorrent is NOT a recommended PLAYER app ...

Anyway, once you've opened your folder (as mention by rafi) containing the downloaded files, open vlc then drag'n'drop the file onto vlc interface. (Forget MediaInfo for the now, but when installed it adds a right-click context menu entry to media files & when you right-click on such a media file and select MediaInfo. a small window opens showing details regarding the files properties such as codecs used. As you have vlc, this program already comes with the necessary codecs required to play most files).
