Preview files?
« on: January 22, 2007, 09:10:27 AM »

I have downloaded some files only to find they are in a language I cannot understand! Is there a way to preview them, so as to check this first?
Thank you!

Yes there is. Please see the Readme.Mac.txt file which was shipped with your Mac package.

So I just followed those instructions
Setting up aMule's video preview feature:
-----------------------------------------
You can use a video player like VLC or Mplayer to preview incomplete downloads of video files. To set up aMule properly for this, go to Preferences -> Directories. Under "Video Player", you have to enter "/usr/bin/open -a" together with the path of your video player program.

For example:
/usr/bin/open -a "/Applications/VLC.app"
/usr/bin/open -a "/Applications/vlc-0.8.4a/VLC.app"
/usr/bin/open -a "/Applications/MPlayer OS X 2.0b8r5/MPlayer OS X 2.app"



In my case I entered:
/usr/bin/open -a "/Applications/Media players/VLC.app"

Then clicking on a file and choosing "preview", it said "Please set your prefered video player on preferences. Meanwhile, aMule will attempt to use mplayer and you will get this warning on every preview"
It then did nothing (I don't have mplayer). And, I had already entered that line as instructed, in preferences.
Any ideas?
Thank you!

Anyone got any ideas how to make this work? I have not tried anything else as I have no ideas. But I really want to be able to preview files! Help much appreciated!
Thank you
