 | Download and install VideoLAN client (VLC) at our download page |
| Download and unzip the eMule part file access module package and copy the libaccess_partfile_plugin.dll file into the plugin directory of your VideoLAN client installation. e.g. C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\plugins
You can download it here |
| Open the eMule Preferences/Files dialog and specify VideoLAN client as the video player which is to be used for previewing part files. |
| Specify the full path to the executable of VideoLAN client. e.g. C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe |
| Disable the option Create backup to preview |
|  |
| Check, if the eMule part file access module is properly recognized by VLC. If you download both the VLC program and the plugin from our website you won't have compatibility problems. |
| Why should I use this plugin? |
| The purpose of this access module is to provide VideoLAN a media stream out of an eMule part file.
Because an eMule part file usually does not contain a complete media stream, the VideoLAN software has to scan the entire file to find all actually available data. The process of scanning the entire file may take a rather long time, depending on the actual data available and the file size.
This access module will evaluate the eMule part.met file of the corresponding part file to know which file data is actually available. With this information the access module is capable of creating a virtual media stream without any gaps and will feed this media stream right into VideoLAN. VideoLAN will no longer need to scan the entire file, because it "sees" only the really available data of the part file. |
| Settings of the plugin |
| The settings dialog page for the access module is available within VideoLAN client at Settings/Preferences/Plugins/access/access_partfile. |
|  |
|
Enable plugin for MPEG part files |
| If this option is enabled, the part file access module will provide the virtual media stream built from the part file only if the part file contains an MPEG file. Default = enabled. |
|
Provide a seek able stream for MPEG part files |
| If this option is enabled, the part file access module will provide the virtual media stream built from the part file as a seek able stream. This option has no effect, if the "Enable plugin for MPEG part files" option is disabled. Default = enabled. |
|
Enable plugin for AVI part files |
| If this option is enabled, the part file access module will provide the virtual media stream built from the part file only if the part file contains an AVI file. Default = disabled. |
|
Provide a seek able stream for AVI part files |
| If this option is enabled, the part file access module will provide the virtual media stream built from the part file as a seek able stream. This option has no effect, if the "Enable plugin for AVI part files" option is disabled. Default = disabled. |
|
Enable plugin for other (non MPEG or AVI) part files |
| If this option is enabled, the part file access module will provide the virtual media stream built from the part file only if the part file does not contain an MPEG file or an AVI file. Use this option to preview any other file types (e.g. OGM, MKV, ...) Default = disabled. |
|
Provide a seek able stream for other (non MPEG or AVI) part files |
| If this option is enabled, the part file access module will provide the virtual media stream built from the part file as a seek able stream. This option has no effect, if the "Enable plugin for other (non MPEG or AVI) part files" option is disabled. Default = disabled. |
|
Enable plugin for all type of files (eMule part files and regular files) |
| If this option is enabled, the part file access module will handle all file types which are opened by VideoLAN client and which would otherwise be handled by the VideoLAN client's default file access module. Enabling this option may be of interest to get around a bug in VideoLAN client's file access module which sometimes freezes the entire system when reading broken media files. The eMule partfile access module tries to get around this bug and handle the non part file in the same way as the original file access module. Default = disabled. |
