When I preview a download that is currently downloading, it queues that download and adds it to a list. When I preview something else, when the preview is over, it plays the previous file that I previewed. Is this a bug? This never happened with the old versions.

Thanks!

What did previous versions used to do? Was the old previewed file ever played again?

How the previous versions handled the preview files was that they would play the file up to where it was downloaded (ex. if the file was at 50%, it would play 50% of the song). It still does that with the beta, but if I chose to preview another song, it will play the first song that I previewed (if this was the second file played). It seems to keep a queue of the files that I have previewed and when I preview a new file, it will play previous previews. The previous versions have never done this.

thanks for pointing this out. There was a lot of code that was overhauled for the new media player and improvements added to the playlist. Must of accidentally introduced this bug. This should be fixed in the next beta (4.15.2) or the next release (4.16) which ever one comes first. If the functionality is still different than the old version after the next release please let us know.

ndrfrk -- 4.15.2 is out now. Can you give it a whirl and see if it fixes your problem? Thanks!

Since I upgraded to 4.15.2 from 4.15.1 I can no longer get video previews to launch. It generates the preview file in the Incomplete folder which I can play by launching from that, but if won't launch from LimeWire. A reboot didn't help.

It looks like the patch for fixing audio previews broke launching non-audio files. I'll add this to JIRA.
