Avi: Broken file

Postby tofu » 01 May 2008 19:41

Hello
I have a problem when I open an avi file from an http server (eg: http//my_ip/test.avi)
It says that the file is broken and ask if I would like to repair it.
If I answer yes, the video open but there is no progress bar.
If I download the file and then play it, I haven't this problem.
And if I try to play it (with the first method) with kplayer I don't have this problem.

Here is the message:

You cannot stream AVI properly since the file is by definition incomplete. Try selecting "No" for repairing the AVI index and it should stream.

Thanks for your help
But if I choose no (or yes) I can't use the progress bar.
I don't have this problem with kplayer (I can use the progress bar).
So it's a vlc problem.
