Yeah, still alive. It never has been fixed so far :-( And, its also quite annoying now because my current demux program automatically produces the subtitle files from the streams and if you want the check the result of the cutting, vlc hangs again. So killing the process... mumbling not nice words.....

This bug is nagging me for a long time already, but I forgot to mention it before. If you have a VCR recording (.TS) file AND a subtitle file (.SRT) in the same directory and fire up VLC with the TS file, it freezes instantly until the cows come home (or the task manager shoots him down). The gui wi...

aah, tnx for the hint! and here is the error: freetype debug: Using Arial as font from file C:\Windows\Fonts\C:\Program Files (x86)\Videotools\Smart Cutter\DefArial.ttf freetype error: failed to load font file C:\Windows\Fonts\C:\Program Files (x86)\Videotools\Smart Cutter\DefArial.ttf main debug: n...

the same for me here. Even after a fresh install of everything (windows and no apps or games yet), not a single line of text from VLC. Changing the font to anything but Arial makes them reappear! But back to the Arial family (Arial, Arial Black, Arial condensed...), NO GO. Neither the video title at...

Does same happen if you save the playlist, and use it as input? Just tested (lol, never saved a playlist before, but it was easy :D ) YES, its the same (and always too) sequence than giving the directory. Lol, the playlist is about 800k in size.. getting curious, whats in there besides some pathnam...

Does it matter if you copy that network folder to local drive and playback it? no, so far nothing helped on these 2 machines (in between I have tested some more computers in the LAN, 8 work ok, only these 2 fail to randomize) This is really wierd. The sequence only changes if the content of the fol...

Random seems to work in VLC 1.1.11 Yuck! hmm, I just tested it on a different computer, there it works... :shock: "vlc -Z <dir>" (or "vlc --random <dir>) produces a different list each time . BUT! :!: I still have 2 computers here on which the same command every time plays the same s...

I second the problem. I start VLC from an Icon and let it play a directory randomly. The sequence is mostly the same all the time (it seems to change once per month or so, very strange). This becomes a bit boring and I also ask to add "srand(time(NULL))" right at the beginning of the progr...
