simply playing a movie

Postby mcsilks » 06 Jan 2006 10:24

I'm trying to watch a movie through my vlc player and always getting the same problem.

It only plays the first part of any movie (about 1 minutes worth)

I have tried everything !!!!!

My playlist has 50 movie parts but still only the first one plays.


Can anyone help !! :roll: !!

While you say "simply", but you leave allot for us to assume here. You also say "It only plays the first part of any movie (about 1 minutes worth)", but don't tell us the file type or what it does then or if it plays normally (both audio & video) for that minute. Then you say "My play list has 50 movie parts but still only the first one plays", but this gives us the impression that the first file in a play list does play normally in its entirety.
You also don't say if you have tried any of these files in another player or system. You might try calling a file from within the player and see if this makes a difference by comparison to calling the player with a file or play list, using the windows interface.

Almost avoided this one because by the nature of your description it is not simple! This happens allot here. Unfortunately, to assume still makes an ass out of you and me!

Hmm! Had to think about thiis for awhile! But if he is downloading video files off a peer network they may be corrupted. Then the answer would be an archiver like winrar. Unfortunatly not every file you want is availablle in an archive. :lol:

Beside that, we had problems in the good old days too! :lol: or maybe you just forgot about the old problems because you know the answers now??
