Then I tried it under VLC and it just gave this big fat error and exit.

Windows Media Player however, played the file perfectly well. Meet the champ How is this possible I do not know the exact reason, but my guess is, it is because of Dokan.Īlthough not always necessarily true, if it was the Ext mounters fault, then all the media players should have failed because there was very little Dokan could do, if Paragons Ext mounter provided it with corrupted data reads.īut no, the playback was perfect under one player while two others failed.

Paragon Extfs For Windows Zip File Readings So why did not the web page and zip file readings fail Playing a video (or any multimedia file for that matter) is a bit different than opening a web page or a zip file, because a video player does not request the whole file to be loaded when playing, it only requests its content on demand. This increases the communication instances between Dokan and the Ext mounter (in this case), and since Dokan does not officially support Windows 8, it could simply be the result of a bad communication (again, this is just a guess). I also tried copying few files into the Home folder, although after they were copied I could see and access them in Windows 8 ( sometimes only ), when I tried rebooting to see if I can read them in Ubuntu (and KaOS), on more than one occasion, I got the file system corrupted error (shown below is one that I received in Ubuntu).
