The VideoLAN Forums

Hi, very stange one here! When trying to preview video torrents (before they download) I opened a video file and VLC began playing a completly different video (one that is from a DVD that isn't even in the drive and definatly not stored loacally) The file name shown below the video is that of the torrent file too. Has anybody got any explanation of this I can't understand it only happens with this one file!

Thanks for any help

yes, the name on torrent does mean it is the actual video.

It wan't though, it was playing a completely different video that wasn't the one what I opened.

yea i know, it does the same stuff to me as well (KMPlayer does the same)
like really strange it loads up videos that i already deleated really weird ehh?
but i dont know what causes vlc to read the "free space" left on the harddrive
