2 mp4 file when download one completed,there is no obvious indication that one of them has been downloaded. #164
Comments
Yeah, the only indication is that the checkbox next to the file becomes unchecked. It's the consequence of using torrent-stream under the hood, because it doesn't provide any kind of api for this. I was thinking that instead of unchecking the checkbox I could try to make it checked and disabled, like this: |
Sorry, but I disagree:
The whole point of streaming torrents is that you don't need to download the whole file in order to access it. You can randomly seek inside the file that is partially downloaded.
Unfortunately files cannot be deleted once they are downloaded. You can only delete the entire torrent. That's how torrent clients are supposed to work, because they need to be able to seed the downloaded chunks.
I've tried that a couple of years ago and it didn't work very reliably for real-time streaming, so I just gave up. I'm not planning to add any special handling for video files. I recommend using VLC to play the video files as network streams. |
@asapach can't we replace the tick mark with This type of downloading GIF ? and on downloading completion gif changes to this type of logo? |
@nk932714, the checkbox is meant to convey that the file is currently being downloaded (see here): if it's checked then somebody is interested in it (you can either check it manually, or it will activate automatically when streaming), otherwise it's idle. Replacing it with a gif won't make any functional difference and will only annoy people who hate animated gifs. |
When a seed file contains 2 mp4 files, I only download one. When one of the downloads is completed, there is no obvious indication that one of them has been downloaded.
