Title: Anyone else have playing issues?
Post by: MSTJon on September 24, 2009, 10:35:50 PM
I take all of the shorts and put the wmvs on a thumb drive so I can watch them on my TV through my Xbox. For whatever reason, this short refuses to play correctly. It quits about 6 or 7 minutes in. Just stops dead. When I try to watch it on my laptop, I get the same thing. I can't skip to certain points, it readjusts itself to a point it feels is near what I want. I have every short made (so far) and this is the only one that's ever given me any trouble. Ideas or suggestions?

Maybe your download was incomplete or corrupted. I would try downloading it again and see if it works.

I kept gettin incomplete rars of Voodoo Man too. Kept downloading those until I got complete files. Unfortunately, here I have downloaded it five times and the final file size matches what I should have according to my library. I'm pretty darn sure it's a source thing, but I wanted to make sure.

I just downloaded the WMV and get the same errors you do.

I download the MPG and MP4 versions (since I'm on a Mac), and both of them play out to the end.  The short is just about 12 minutes long, if you count the rifftrax-credits tacked on the end.

Yeah it seems that only the WMV is bad.
