Hello,
I have enabled "Allow streaming" in settings. But how exactly I can use it? How can I watch movies while file are downloading?
I tried opening folder while downloading. Incomplete folders are just showing rar file and no MKV file
Thanks

The MKV should show upIncomplete folders are just showing rar file and no MKV file
I tried for myself, and indeed it does NOT show up.
Weird. I have no idea what caused this. Maybe the feature is not working anymore
Re: How to use "Allow streaming"?
No allow-streaming doesn't work like that.
All it does is skip everything, so that you can directly open the rar files using for example VLC. This player can play directly from (split) RAR files even if for example the last parts are still downloading. So you can start watching after the first RAR is downloaded.

Re: How to use "Allow streaming"?
ok, I will look into this. I have to play files in Kodi because it support sound format. VLC does't support passthrough.
Also in settings, allow_streaming is checked as well as settings are also saved. But "Allow_streaming" is showing "off" status. Is this a bug or something else? See this screenshot

The "(off)" is just the default value ...

Thanks.
Regarding which file should play. This is screenshot of of files are being downloaded in my NAS. Should I play file with extension "r00" ?

Re: How to use "Allow streaming"?
No, play the .rar one.
And just to be sure: you want to play it while it is download, right? If you just want to watch it using a streaming service after it completes downloading, you *don't* need this option.
This option removes all the nice parts that SABnzbd does, like repair, etc. So only use it if you really reallyy need to watch stuff while it is still downloading.
