MPG files not working

drn1028 · #1 03-15-2017, 08:46 PM

Anytime I download a file with a mpg extension it fails. I have no problems with any other files and it doesn't matter what user posted them. This thread is the most noticable https://forum.oneclickchicks.com/showthread.php?t=207967 but the vids posted at the end of this thread...https://forum.oneclickchicks.com/show...179548&page=13 do the same thing.

What player are you using? VLC usually will play mpg files.

The problem isn't playing them, it's downloading them. When I select one it appears to be downloading but it when it should finish it says "failed". When I go to the file on my hard drive it has 0KB. This only happens with mpg files. WMV, MP4 and everything else worked like they are supposed to.

I attached three screenshots to give you a better idea. Also, to be clear, this is happening with MPG files posted by more than one person so it isn't like someone is doing something wrong on their end.

That seems weird. I think you'll need to give the browser you're using and are you on a PC or Apple, etc. Maybe one of the techie experts can help you.
