ausgezeichnet - danke!

(hopefully VLC 2.6 will support iOS7?!)

cool - thanks Verkackt - is this VLC iOS folder crash on VLC update a known problem?

and is it addressed in 2.6?

we had an earlier version of VLC for iOS (installed almost a year ago - not usre of version) and all was great - we had uploaded many movies and a hundred episodes of spongebob, that we put into a VLC "spongebob folder" - all was well until a couple months ago when VLC updated (still on iO...

thanks remi

i probably didn't have the most recent build, but the version of 2.0 i got a few days ago had "pause on minimize" turned on by default with no warning, and also no clear switch (that i could find) to toggle it off

so i just went back to 1.1.11 and am happy again for now

I installed the recent VLC 2.0 version and noticed a very annoying new default (for me, even though i suspect a lot of people probably like it) - is that VLC now pauses playback when minimized Aside from questioning whether such a substantial change of behavior is optimum without some warning, I wou...

OK thx vlc - i remember that when you first posted the bug from one of the files i linked, and one of the devs couldn't get the file to open - hopefully the right people saw the bug

just fyi - tested the new version (2.0.0-rc1 twoflower) and it still crashes with the libavcodec glitch

i presume there is no need to resubmit the bug report? (in case it has been possibly closed or overlooked)

ok, thanks much VLC - i thought maybe they had a list of what bug fix numbers were included in each build, but didn't know where to look for that

guess maybe a later version? (hopefully)

thx VLC, i'll use your d/l site

do you happen to know if the libavcodec issue i reported was addressed in this build? if not, i'll probably wait until it is before switch to a less stable beta

thx much!

Hi VLC_help, et al

i see there is a beta of 1.20 out

http://free-codecs.com/download/VideoLAN.htm

i wondered if by chance the intended fix for the libavcodec crash issue (that i started this thread about) was able to be included?

thx much!

Same issue with a_fifth_example_of_VLC_crash_at_4.36.wmv, so I assume it is only one issue (gdb) bt #0 0x5eda1b17 in ff_mspel_motion () from /cygdrive/c/softa/vlc-1.1.12-git/plugins/libavcodec_plugin.dll #1 0x00000009 in ??

and since it is happening so often, i have yet another crash file with a small file size, if you feel like checking one more (and i won't link anymore after this, if they are all the same error) it is ~9MB and the crash is at 4:36 secs : http://www.filefactory.com/file/cedf1f3/n/a_fifth_example_of_V...

I will check that file during weekend. thanks VLC - i don't know why it is happening more frequently over the last week or so, but it is now up to 2-3 times an hour (which means 20-30 crashes and restarts every day) - it is pretty much getting unusable - HELP! fwiw, here is another one - it is ~6MB...

but we are at 1.1.11, so maybe after 89 more releases? VLC releases don't follow that scheme =) i figured as much :) and fwiw, i uploaded another crash file, just on the outside chance that it might be from a different cause - if this third one is the same libavcodec problem that you found in the f...

Hopefully it will be fixed in VLC 1.2.0 as contrib update.

great

but we are at 1.1.11, so maybe after 89 more releases?

I don't think you have to open another thread. Hopefully no-crashlog will be GUI option at some point.

ok great - thanks

as always, i look forward to newer and even more excellent versions!

hi all i started this thread as a feature request for a problem i have with the time delay required after a VLC crash, for the crashdump request and then a thank you response i really appreciate that the underlying crash cause is being looked into - obviously that is a superior response to simply sp...

You can create .bat file for VLC startup, that removes the crashdump file first and then starts VLC. Bug might be fixed in some upcoming libavcodec release, I will ticket this issue later. EDIT: Ticket is http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/5255 thanks so much VLC_help :) however, my problem (and n...

WM Recorder records streaming video from urls - i use it to record some shows, but i also use VLC to display the stream "live" (or as close to live as i can get VLC to quickly launch) i have VLC set up as my system default player (XP SP3) for .asf and .wmv files (which the stream i watch i...

You can download debug versions from http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win32/?C=M;O=D (branches are 1.1.x) thanks - a little over my pay grade, but i am willing to learn - i presume this is the case, but want to confirm: if i set this version up as my system default player (so that wm recorder wi...

The only way to do correctly debug is: - check the backtraces in %appdata%/vlc and file a bugreport on it... - use gdb and run vlc in it... thanks, but i don't have any backtraces, as i don't know how to compile a version that creates one http://wiki.videolan.org/Debug and i don't run linux, and th...
