How can I watch a partial WMV, partially downloaded in eMule?

I know it can be done for MPGs.

MPLayer can usually handle "broken" files.

"MPlayer" http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/news.html

There are various (newer even) third party adaptations, front-ends around. http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/projects.html

The beginning of the file (at the least) needs to be somewhat complete. Otherwise, so long as the file is not locked (read lock), MPLayer can usually do something with it.

VLC can usually play partially complete or corrupted files, though it depends how complete the file actually is.

I have used VLC and my experience has been that as with WMP. It played partially downloaded MPGs, but not WMVs – barlop Aug 28 '10 at 9:12
