  1. Whether or not the television itself is capable of handling all types of media formats, are you not able to install any type of apps or programs that can? In the event your model TV does not offer any type of app store or similar resources, it almost undoubtedly has a USB port on the back or side of it... and while successfully installing software programs and apps this way can't be guaranteed, it's definitely worth the attempt and a potential solution to your inquiry. Ultimately, even if none of the suggestions I mentioned above change your current situation, have you considered just installing VLC player on your mobile phone or computer system and simply casting the video to your television? This eliminates the need for your television to support the video codecs, formats, or anything else for that matter. The processing is done by the system from which you cast the video and uses the television only to display the video as it plays. Just to clarify, when I say video, it is assumed you realize the video and audio are interlaced together. To separate the video and audio, splitting them apart from each other, actually requires a type of converting process similar to the one you've apparently been doing to play movies on your 4k television. But neither should be necessary, even if it means casting the video from your phone or computer. I don't want to be warned or temporarily banned or anything for 'promoting' third party software applications, but I would be confused if that did end up happening since VLC player has nothing to do with torrents or torrent client software, not to mention it's a free software program and always has been. So I hope it's an acceptable statement to say VLC Player handles the most extensive array of video and audio that I've ever seen... some of which I wasn't aware even existed until I saw the format within VLC Player. Furthermore, in the unbelievable event in which you have a format that VLC doesn't initially recognize, an extensive resource of codec packs for VLC can be downloaded from various websites, though I'd start with the program's official site first: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/
  2. Don't take this as concrete fact or a definite cause, but using some media editing software myself, if I'm not mistaken, this is actually something that was done to the original video by the person that uploaded it. This is common among pornographic videos as a type of restriction and/or prevention measure depending on their intentions, but I'm in no way insinuating or suggesting this is the case in your situation. Video editing software is used to disable rewind / fast forward in box office release films as well. It all comes down to the person that uploaded and provided the torrent to begin with. If it's any consolation, though, while whoever it was is kind of a jerk, as such media manipulation is absolutely intentional, at least it's only a minor aggravation compared to torrents packed with self-installers, trojans, or other malicious code! Though I seem to recall reading details about BitTorrent which suggest their software actually attempts to prevent and eliminate torrents like this ... which is something I've not known of another torrent client doing.
  3. I realize and understand the development team's intention is to generate revenue with the ongoing support and development of this program - naturally, as anyone would with anything they continued to put time and effort into. However, as a brand new, daisy fresh user that abandoned my previous torrent client due to sudden issues with the last software update, I have to assume - making an ass of u and me - that documentation providing details about all the program's options, settings, and features is only made available with the Pro version. Then again, the overview of the added features and advantages didn't mention anything like that unless it can be obtained via the 'premium support'. Regardless, my first impression - while not set in stone yet without a concluding it definitively - is not a great one. I can assure BitTorrent's development team with some confidence that you would noticeably increase your customer base by providing detailed program documentation up front. I can also assure you a large number of users likely share this opinion. The additional features, advantages, and access to "V.I.P." services and support should be the aspects reserved for those who lay down cold hard cash, not the damn program's manual. Please be aware that I am in no way resentful, upset, or belligerent because of this, especially when I'm not 100% sure some type of documentation isn't available through one avenue or another. In fact, a sort of comical concept dawned on me as I composed this 'suggestion' ... here this site provides me with a torrent client, seemingly using 'premium support' as an enticement to purchase the software, yet I can potentially use the free torrent client to obtain some type of documentation myself. Then again, it's likely not a popular shared file out there if there are any seeds for it at all. Still, software documentation shouldn't be just totally unavailable as it seems to be - at least for a new user it isn't noticeable on the surface. The software should stand on its own merits, making the paid version worth it with the added advantages, features, etc. alone. At first glance, it appears as though extensive information about the client side options and settings is part of that package deal and, frankly, it suggests the other additions included in the paid version aren't good enough on their own. If I've somehow overlooked a basic rundown of the settings somewhere and have rambled on as I have, please consider this post from the jackass that took time out of his day to make a complete fool of himself and have a laugh! LOL Either way, this is just feedback. I'm not all pissy about it. I just wanted to provide insight from the end user's point of view - one that is likely not just one user's opinion. Perhaps the 'premium support' department could provide some statistics to show the number of requesting anything remotely similar or related to this.
