I download a torrent of every episode of The Great British Bake Off ...( you can laugh :-) ) and there is a particular uploader/seeder/creator who seems to be the only supplier of 1080 HD eps.
However , about 50% of the time his copy is bad ..it skips / black blips/ sound unsyncing.
So these days I download his copy and another lesser quality (720) by someone else that play perfectly.
I use Kodi matrix to play on a sony x950h.
Every other program ,,4k included plays fine so I dont think its my system.
This person may not even be aware of it.

I'm a newbie and don't want to cause offense  but is there anything I should do ?  Try and get in touch with this person?
I'm not mentioning the name because I don't know the rules / etiquette

any advice ?

Thanks for reading
S

What season you after?

i don't use kodi so no clue but 720p is better if you want small size and don't required good specs (hardware).

Thanks guys .... all is resolved --- It was just a few of Darkflix eps that were corrupted.

Well it's happening again with Darkflix uploads ---- UK tv series The Piano and Paul Whitehouse --"Our Troubled Rivers" all have blackouts or whatever its called when the screen goes black for a second or two. Happens with VLC and Kodi players. Programs are unwatchable.
Some people on reddit said darkflix was encoding with a new system

Has anyone experienced this ?
Any advice on a fix?
How does one contact the uploader ''DarkFLiX"

thanks

DARKFLiX is not an uploader here, you'll need to contact DARKFLiX  where uploads. why not try a different uploader like TGxTV, MVGroup.

DarkFLiX is a group name, not an uploader name.
Groups are rarely contactable, unless you know them.
Occasionally they may have an email address in their NFO files.

Thanks all for the information .....I'll do as suggested.

I did find an email address in the nfo file , contacted them and got some incomprehensible reply back. Like it went thru 5 google translates.

I'll also try and figure out a player for their stuff because when it plays it has a great picture ---- just a shame about the black-outs.

Happens with every darkflix torrent that i get,i download and put the media onto an external harddrive and play it on the tv,black flickering,cannot fast forward or rewind(only with darkflix)..but hey its free, Im not complaining.

Ever figure this out?

I've started to get files that flicker as well, for example HEELS S02E01 1080p AMZN Repack... tried them all and all flicker. MINX S02E03 as well.

Someone for the HEELS file said it was just me the file is fine, must be my player. I tried 3 downloads, same flickers in the same place. I stream from my NAS (external drives) through a Beelink Android box running CoreElec and KODI. So, played the files on my PC and same flickers, same spots. Codec maybe? Updated my codecs, no change. Ran the video through Vidcoder to re-encode the file using the settings I always use, and flickers.

I assume the files, but someone said they tested them and they were fine, though maybe they didn't test well?

9m15s, 10m are two flicker spots... for me anyways.

It's not on your end. I checked it and it does flicker/blink in the spots you mentioned.

Ya wanted to watch but tried 2 AMZN 1080p and 1 AMZN 720p repack, and some other file that was the exact same file as AMZN just renamed... hate when people do that. If the file exists, don't rename it and upload it anyway. Sheesh. :D

I have had issues with UK scene group's 1080p hdtv files too in VLC Android on phone as well as tablet. Screen goes green or at times it's struck and audio keeps playing. They play fine in the native player but it's not as feature rich as VLC. So I grab re-encoded files and they play fine. I suppose mere remuxing the 1080p might work as well if you have a computer.
