VLC 0.8.6i crashed on screenshot function

[duwil]

I think this issue is back again with the 0.8.6i: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=47067&start=0&st=0 ... t=snapshot

Yes, replacing libvlc.dll with the one from 0.8.6h allows the screenshot function to operate correctly. I have yet to activate my trac account so I can't report the bug.

Hi! I currently use version 0.8.6f which performs the screen capture function perfectly.

However, when I try to use versions 0.8.6g or 0.8.6i, VLC crashes every time.

My OS is XP-Pro (slipstreamed).

0.8.6g was not officially released. 0.8.6h was, and the screenshot bug in libvlc was fixed before the final release. 0.8.6h can be found here:
http://download.videolan.org/pub/videol ... .6h/win32/

If libvlc.dll from 0.8.6i is replaced with the one from 0.8.6h the screenshot feature should work.

Hi again!

Sorry, I made a mistake in my previous (and first ever) posting.

I should have said that there is a crash when I use either versions 0.8.6h and 0.8.6i and not 0.8.6g.

[Arite]

0.8.6h did have that issue when it was first compiled for release however that was fixed before the final release as Trax said here:
viewtopic.php?f=14&t=47067#p149756

If you re-download 0.8.6h from the linked proved above the snapshot function should operate correctly, as should replacing the 0.8.6i libvlc.dll with the 0.8.6h one.

Thanks Arite. I followed your instructions and I now have version 0.8.6i installed and producing excellent video screen captures.

Congratulations on your 1,000th posting.
