<p>Sorry for the late reply, I believe this was solved over twitter
but I'll leave the answer here for future reference.</p>
<p>.rar files are not video files, you need to extract them first
with an app like The Unarchiver or UnRarX (I'd go with The
Unarchiver, less errors). Then you will get a .mkv file which is
the actual video that you can play on VLC.</p></div>Cristina Gómeztag:support.tvshowsapp.com,2011-10-12:Comment/242233902013-01-31T02:05:10Z2015-01-23T06:30:49ZCorrupt video files <div><p>Hi Cristina,</p>
<p>Actually im still having problems, VLC dose let me watch rar
files i think it just extracts it by it self but the problem seams
to be part of the individual files since on the problematic files i
have downloaded have the same error on all of the program such as
VLC, UnRarX and The Unarchiver. they all give me the same error log
half way through extracting it.<br>
Its not all the downloads that do this, so far every episode of
Girls i have downloaded, some 30 rock episodes and some once upon a
time, all in HD.</p></div>manu.etag:support.tvshowsapp.com,2011-10-12:Comment/242233902013-01-31T07:39:38Z2013-01-31T07:39:38ZCorrupt video files <div><p>Hi Manuel,</p>
<p>It's strange, as I told you over twitter I downloaded the
episode of 30 Rock that was giving you trouble and The Unarchiver
extracted it ok. If you give me more examples of specific episodes
I can try them also, but I don't think this is related to TVShows
or the releases it downloads. What torrent manager do you use?</p>
<p>One more thing: do you use magnets or torrent files? It
shouldn't matter, but if I'm trying to reproduce the issue I'll use
your setting.</p></div>Cristina Gómeztag:support.tvshowsapp.com,2011-10-12:Comment/242233902013-01-31T16:42:09Z2015-01-23T06:30:49ZCorrupt video files <div><p>Hi Cristina,</p>
<p>Season 2 episode 2 of Girls is an example, weirdly enough
episode 3 works perfectly, i even re downloaded and the same error
happens, and yea i do use magnet.</p></div>manu.etag:support.tvshowsapp.com,2011-10-12:Comment/242233902013-02-06T07:10:35Z2013-02-06T07:10:35ZCorrupt video files <div><p>Hi Manuel,</p>
<p>Sorry for the late reply. I downloaded that Girls episode and
The Unarchiver extracted it without any errors. So it definitely
the files aren't corrupted, I don't know what's causing your errors
:(</p></div>Cristina Gómeztag:support.tvshowsapp.com,2011-10-12:Comment/242233902013-02-06T07:24:10Z2015-01-23T06:30:49ZCorrupt video files <div><p>oh well... thanks anyways</p></div>manu.e
