winMX_67 Posted October 15, 2005 Report Posted October 15, 2005 I think it would be nice to have a preview button in uTorrent, so that you can see if the movie is good quality before you d/l the WHOLE THING.
vurlix Posted October 15, 2005 Report Posted October 15, 2005 you can already do this if you have sufficient amount of the file. just open up the file in your media player. some media players may fail to load the file when they don't have exclusive access to it, i suggest using a decent player like vlc. you can also make a temporary copy of the file, or stop the torrent, to let other media players open the file. note that this usually works only when you have the first piece of the file.
winMX_67 Posted October 15, 2005 Author Report Posted October 15, 2005 Would you ever think about implamenting a button into the acutal client so people dont have to d/l seprate programs. Look at this screenshot taken from another post a preview button like that would be nice I think the program is bitcomet.
QauNuckShin Posted October 15, 2005 Report Posted October 15, 2005 How about a "Prioritize first and last pieces of file" option, then? It would make it more probable that you are able to preview it.
BloodStaindHurricane Posted October 15, 2005 Report Posted October 15, 2005 You dont have Media Player Classic, winmx? or BS Player?I normally use those to preview any video files.
vurlix Posted October 15, 2005 Report Posted October 15, 2005 How about a "Prioritize first and last pieces of file" option, then? It would make it more probable that you are able to preview it.µTorrent always does this. First/last pieces are always given higher priority.
QauNuckShin Posted October 15, 2005 Report Posted October 15, 2005 Oh. Well, then. Move along people, nothing to see here..
winMX_67 Posted October 15, 2005 Author Report Posted October 15, 2005 You dont have Media Player Classic, winmx? or BS Player?I normally use those to preview any video files.I do have media player classic, buthow do I prevew them without extracting the .RAR files?
Ultima Posted October 15, 2005 Report Posted October 15, 2005 You usually can't preview archives, whatever BitTorrent client you use. You have to be lucky and download the right parts so that you can at least see what files are in the archive.
Ultima Posted October 15, 2005 Report Posted October 15, 2005 AviPreview doesn't work for archives. Besides this, it appears to only work for DivX3/DivX4 (it was last updated somewhere in 2002).
sal Posted October 17, 2005 Report Posted October 17, 2005 Thats what sample.avi (or whatever) are provided for. Download that and decide from there.
Ultima Posted October 17, 2005 Report Posted October 17, 2005 I wouldn't think that everything would come with samples, now, would they?
sal Posted October 17, 2005 Report Posted October 17, 2005 I wouldn't think that everything would come with samples, now, would they?Any repectable movie torrent should. If it doesn't then use common sense.Whats the torrent called? (dvdrip/CAM/HDTV)Does it have a lot of seeds?Realistic filesize? etc, etc...
Infamous Posted October 19, 2005 Report Posted October 19, 2005 Oh. Well, then. Move along people, nothing to see here..Haha - So true!
gl4di4t0r Posted May 25, 2006 Report Posted May 25, 2006 i also would love such button, because often the files are locked and you have to stop the torrent to watch the movie quality.
dAbReAkA Posted May 25, 2006 Report Posted May 25, 2006 there wont be such a feature.. it hurts the swarm..
Nefarious Posted May 25, 2006 Report Posted May 25, 2006 also u can open them with VLC without stopping the torrent anyway
winMX_67 Posted May 26, 2006 Author Report Posted May 26, 2006 You cant with windows media player classic.
Nefarious Posted May 26, 2006 Report Posted May 26, 2006 thats why i said use VLC to do that thats what i do, i use Zoom Player for all my complete files, and VLC for the incomplete ones, its not like im gonna use any of the features on a incomplete file anyway
Kupotek Posted May 30, 2006 Report Posted May 30, 2006 I honestly hate preview options in a client. It winds up turning into massive bloat with features no one really needs. Just open the file in media player classic, VLC, or BSPlayer manually.
winMX_67 Posted May 30, 2006 Author Report Posted May 30, 2006 media player classic doesnt work as stated before...I have to stop the torrent.
Nefarious Posted May 30, 2006 Report Posted May 30, 2006 why do u need to use media player classic for incomplete files? can't you just use VLC for those? that way u dont need to stop the torrent
