zab file transfers

Postby maestrotwo » 17 Nov 2015 22:12

I have some .zab files (audiobooks) that I am trying to transfer to my iPhone from my Mac. I downloaded the .zab files and opened them with VLC player on my Mac. The playlist window shows all the chapters listed...in order...as .mp3 files. Now I want to transfer these files to my iPhone. On my iPhone I opened the VLC player and selected the Sharing via wifi option to transfer the files. I entered the IP address into my Safari browser on the mac and I get the Sharing via wifi screen. I drag the file onto the screen from my Mac, and then select the download file section. Once I do this a percentage clock starts running. The file is 1 gig, more or less, and it "proceeds to download" moving along at what appears to be the normal download rate. When I get to 100%, I try to find it on my iPhone in VLC but all I get is empty media library. I cannot find the file anywhere. Any suggestions?

The .zab file extension is not whitelisted on iOS, so the files are not shown. Sorry about that.

Are you use the files play correctly with VLC for Mac? What kind of file format is that? Where did you get that from?
