Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

To preview a file there must be a certain % already downlded. It will ONLY preview the amount that's downlded. eg: a full movie of 2 hours which is 700 MB in size. If you have downloaded 2% then you could only preview 2 mins of that movie. If you haven't downlded any of that movie then you can't preview it. Instead of preview, try launch instead with a movie you already have in your shared folders (if you have any.)

No program works within LW. What happens is that when you launch or preview a file LW will open the appropriate default player. eg: music & your default player is iTunes. Then when you launch or preview an mp3 then iTunes will open & play it. Likewise for video. Say you launch an mpeg movie then VLC (if it's the default) will open & play that movie.

You don't use LW to make a default video player b/c LW's media player cannot play video files. It can only play music. But because it's sometimes unreliable people often disable it thru options so their default audio player plays instead. For video it's always your default video player that will open everytime you preview or launch a movie file.

I am trying to preview files that have upto 90% downloaded.
This is not the problem, no matter what player i make as default, it will not work.
Have you had any other problems like this?

Well my best guess is that you have a bad file. What type of file are you trying to play. ie. avi, mpg, wmv, asf,

Doing what you told me in the link, i can preview all the files, but it won't work within LW, when i press the preview button in Search nothing happens.
Ive already reinstalled LW to see if that is the problem
Anyway, atleast i can see what i am downloading from the way you explained

Okay that is good, at least you can see what you have.

Getting back to my previous post, I suspect you're trying to preview files you haven't downloaded enough of to be able to preview. That's why I suggested you experiment with the Launch button from the library window on a file you have already finished downlding. If that works then it's probably the 1st reason.

You keep saying within LW, remember it's not LW that actually plays the movie. It is only launched thru LW & it's the video program that actually plays it. Perhaps the video program is hidden behind LW b/c you keep clicking on LW. It can take several seconds for the video program to open & then load the movie.
