I just tried this on The Grinch/Jim Carrey movie that I am only 50% complete in.
The biggest bother is figuring out which file it is in the Xolox\Temp folder. So as to not interrupt the download in progress, I copied the .XLX file first and renamed the copy to temp.AVI
Do a search on Google for DivFix if you need it. I used version 1.05 which is available from DOOM9.ORG | I should also add that I am not in favour of automatic previews since this will add additional bloat to the client. I would much rather use my own tools to play the movie.
MP3s don't need a preview as they are only a couple of megabytes.
I don't work with MPEGs unless I really have to so someone else will have to let you know if they can be previewed. |
