I don't see the usefulness in this. On my Mac it runs very slowly and once you start playing it takes an eternity to jump forward or rewind a little bit. If you just download the movie with torrent in 20 minutes you can jump around instantly and use the much lighter Videolan Player.
I can see the convenience in searching movies though.
- jaydz 13y agoIts quite useful for people who cannot download an HD file in 20 minutes.
- marcosdumay 13y agoThose people will have an even worse experience with streaming than the GP. I don't get what's all the buzz about streaming. Copy the damn file, watch it, and erase (it's a new concept, let's call it "cache"). Not even Youtube works anymore because everything must be online.
- riffraff 13y ago> I don't get what's all the buzz about streaming. There is a noticeable difference between starting to watch a movie in 10 seconds and waiting >15 mins to download completely. Suppose a movie takes an average 25 minutes to download. I can start watching it in my lunch break if I am streaming it. If I have to download it completely first, I may not have finished downloading it by the end of it. Streaming is a _much_ better experience, even if it has a bunch of downsides.
- mahouse 13y agoIt's useful because it does not require you to go to a torrents site, find a reputable torrent, download a bittorrent client, set up your ports, wait for the whole movie to download... do I need to continue? :) With this, you just click the movie et voilà -- it's something even my grandma could do.
