With VLC you have to reopen the media to get it to refresh. Various popular multimedia formats are played with this player, and the obvious feature of this player is the ability to play defective files and find lost codecs. For example if you start watching a partial download then stop or pause it, when you restart it automatically includes whatever has downloaded since you stopped it. GOM Player, actually abbreviated as Gretech Online Movie Player, is another free Korean player that is a product of Gretech. I think that may have something to do with it. Something GOM seems to do that VLC doesn't do by default is monitor the download as it's in progress. Since I started this thread I've found some workarounds that I think will work for me. VLC never did that, at least not on default settings. GOM supports all kinds of features for highly advanced users who desire to watch video clips at the best quality. No need to install codecs separately Try one of your broken AVI files or one of the files that is being downloaded with GOM. I've got to stop the download, open the playlist and delete the entry, or close GOM, then I can use WMP. GOM is a FREE media player with popular audio & video codecs built-in.

For example, I start downloading a movie with GOM, I can't open WMP at the same time to listen to a music file. I'm having a problem playing other files with Media Player unless I manually delete the file from GOM's playlist. It closes the media but doesn't clear the playlist. In Preferences>Playback I've got "Close media files when stopped" enabled. But if I stop the media it doesn't automatically clear from the playlist. It only adds the currently playing media to the playlist and automatically deletes it when I close the player, I guess that's normal.
