Hi all,
As above.
I'm unable to preview incomplete avi/mpeg files in eMule using ZP or WMP 10 despite having done all necessary settings in eMule and ZP except perhaps to install every other codecs and filters other than the minimum (Gabest AVI Splitter and ffdshow) which I think is sufficient for preview purpose only. It has nothing to do with missing preview chunks as eMule is set to get preview chunks first and ALL files even at 99.9% completed cannot be preview. Furthermore, when the same files that cannot be preview are finally completed, they could be playback without any issue, audio included.
Therefore, I've narrowed the possible issues should be with Gabest Avi Splitter v1.0.0.4 or ffdshow-20050312 as I've never used ffdshow for DivX/XviD playback. Are there any customization in ffdshow option that might help? Or ffdshow cannot handle incomplete files in the first place?
For the benefit of those helping me, the following are the noticeable differences between the last time I could preview prior to fresh installation of XP:
Can preview with:
1) WinXP Pro w/SP1a.
2) All codecs/filters listed in media setup guide installed.
3) Gabest Avi Splitter v1.0.0.0
4) ffdshow-20040718 installed but not registered to handle DivX/Xvid.
5) ZP WMV Pro v4.03.
Cannot preview with:
1) WinXP Pro w/SP2.
2) No other codecs/filters installed except below.
3) Gabest Avi Splitter v1.0.0.4
4) ffdshow-20050312 installed and registered to handle DivX/Xvid.
5) ZP WMV Pro v4.10 beta 3.
I hope the above is sufficient to receive help.
