Shareaza Media Player is a DirectShow media player, similar to Windows Media Player, which means it relies on separately installed filters to play most multimedia files. Shareaza may crash because you don't have the proper codecs/filters installed to play the file, or they are improperly installed. If this is the case, remove existing codec packages and download the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack.
If you don't like Enormous codec packs, try installing only what the filters you need: see Direct Show Filters.
I can't hear any sound. The video doesn't show. The video is upside-down. What's wrong?
You're probably missing a necessary codec to decode the file or the codec you're using isn't a good one. See above for a codec pack, or Direct Show Filters for individual codecs. If you are still stuck, try the Shareaza Forum.
Yes, you can control Shareaza in the system tray, or by clicking Window > Show Remote.
Tools > Shareaza Settings... > General > Media Player
You can remove file types from the list or completely avoid using SMP (Shareaza Media Player) by unchecking the top two options.
Originally, the old media player performed some of the preview functions. However, the old media player was removed in 2.5.0.0 to enable better support in the future. As of 2.5.1.0, there is a new plug-in to enable previewing of these files, but requires external programs to perform this action. Additional information can be found on the forums.
