#### \ud83c\udfa8 Player Appearance<\/strong>– **Player Width**<\/strong>: How wide the video window is (default: 800px)- **Player Height**<\/strong>: How tall the video window is (default: 600px)<\/p>\n

#### \ud83d\udcf9 Video Quality<\/strong>– **Default Quality**<\/strong>: Choose your preferred quality\u00a0 – \ud83d\udfe2 **Auto**<\/strong>: Let the browser decide (recommended)\u00a0 – \ud83d\udd35 **720p**<\/strong>: HD quality\u00a0 – \ud83d\udd34 **1080p**<\/strong>: Full HD quality\u00a0 – \u26ab **Original**<\/strong>: No transcoding (highest quality)<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

## \ud83d\udcc2 Supported File Formats<\/strong><\/p>\n

### \u2705 Always Works (Recommended)<\/strong>These formats play perfectly in all modern browsers:- **MP4**<\/strong> (.mp4, .m4v) – Most common format- **WebM**<\/strong> (.webm) – Modern web format- **Ogg**<\/strong> (.ogv, .ogg) – Open source format<\/p>\n

### \u26a0\ufe0f Usually Works (May Require Codecs)<\/strong>These formats work if your browser supports the video codec inside:- **MKV**<\/strong> (.mkv) – Matroska container- **AVI**<\/strong> (.avi) – Common Windows format- **MOV**<\/strong> (.mov) – QuickTime format- **FLV**<\/strong> (.flv) – Flash video- **WMV**<\/strong> (.wmv) – Windows Media Video- **MPG\/MPEG**<\/strong> (.mpg, .mpeg) – MPEG format- **3GP**<\/strong> (.3gp) – Mobile video format- **And many more!**<\/strong><\/p>\n

### \ud83d\udca1 Pro Tip<\/strong>If a video won't play, it's usually a codec issue, not a format issue. Try converting it to MP4 (H.264 codec) for best compatibility.<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

## \ud83d\udd0d Troubleshooting<\/strong><\/p>\n

### "Video won't play" or shows black screen**Cause**<\/strong>: Your browser doesn't support the video codec<\/p>\n

**Oplossings**<\/strong>:1. Try a different browser (Chrome\/Edge usually have best support)2. Convert the video to MP4 format with H.264 codec3. Check if the video file is corrupted by downloading it first<\/p>\n

### "View Video" option doesn't appear**Cause**<\/strong>: File isn't recognized as a video<\/p>\n

**Oplossings**<\/strong>:1. Check if the file extension is enabled in Settings2. Make sure the file actually is a video (not mislabeled)3. Reload ruTorrent page (Ctrl+F5)<\/p>\n

### Player window is too small\/large**Oplossing**<\/strong>: Ga naar Settings \u2192 MediaStream and adjust Player Width\/Height<\/p>\n

### Video is choppy or buffering**Causes**<\/strong>: Network speed, server load, or video bitrate<\/p>\n

**Oplossings**<\/strong>:1. Lower the quality setting in Settings2. Wait for more of the file to download3. Try during off-peak hours if server is busy<\/p>\n

### No sound**Oplossings**<\/strong>:1. Check if browser tab is muted (look for \ud83d\udd07 icon on tab)2. Check video player volume control (bottom left)3. Unmute in Settings if "Muted by Default" is enabled4. Some videos don't have audio tracks – download to verify<\/p>\n

## \ud83c\udfaf Best Practices<\/strong><\/p>\n

### For Best Performance<\/strong>1. \u2705 Use **MP4 files**<\/strong> with H.264 codec when possible2. \u2705 Keep player dimensions reasonable (don't go 4K on a 1080p monitor)3. \u2705 Use **Auto quality**<\/strong> setting unless you have specific needs4. \u2705 Sluiten player when done to free up server resources<\/p>\n

### For Privacy<\/strong>– \ud83d\udd12 Remember: Video streaming creates temporary logs on the server- \ud83d\udd12 Respect your server's bandbreedte and opslag limits- \ud83d\udd12 Don't share your streaming links – they're tied naar uw session<\/p>\n

### For Multi-User Setups<\/strong>– \ud83d\udc65 Each user has their own settings (they don't affect others)- \ud83d\udc65 Settings are saved per-user automatically- \ud83d\udc65 U kunt reset to defaults anytime in Settings<\/p>\n
