Did all that, still have that stray album art popping up inconsistently. I can live with it. I was just hoping someone somewhere had found the solution. That bug link you gave makes a lot of sense. Thanks!

Yep, here it is 2024 and it is still happening! Same exact album art as way back in the beginning. I have since built and installed a new PC, re-installed VLC as a fresh install, and the exact same album art shows up! I'm beginning to wonder if it is not hard coded in VLC?!?!?!

Same here. Now here is the interesting thing: I have two desktops One has Windows 10 Pro, the other has Windows 10 Home. The issue with 3.0.19 is only on the PC with Home. Pro works fine with 3.0.19. Further, I tried opening the exact same .mp4 file with both PCs. The video will play for about 2 sec...

Thanks. First suggestion I did first off. Didn't change a thing. I have hundreds of folders. The art that VLC is displaying is for an artist and song I've never heard of and is not on my PC anywhere. I have searched for jpg, gif, png and tiff files less than 100k and it is not found. Interestingly, ...

Ok, thank you. I really am not interested in album art. As a matter of fact, I prefer not to have it at all. I followed your suggestion to locate coverart and there is none there. I created a blank black jpg image and placed it there. I will watch and see what happens in the future. Actually I just ...

Here it is, May 6, 2018 and the problem still persists. I have Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. I have tried every single workaround listed in this forum and NONE work. Some strange album art still shows at the beginning of EVERY video I play with VLC. This album is not on my PC, never has been, and I've never...

I just uninstalled 2.0.0 and installed 1.1.7 The Luggage. I get no error message, VLC just closes immediately when I click on a selected menu item. When I re-start VLC, I get a message that VLC has crashed and asks if I want to send a bug report to the developer team. I select Yes and it restarts bu...

No. It will not play. I am very puzzled as I stated earlier, I have used VLC for a long time, all the way back to 2007 and version 0.8.6a, and I have never, ever had the first problem of any kind. I have recommended VLC to many, many people, all with similar experiences. Perfect. I have two DVD driv...

I had not previously, but I just did and it still crashes with same error message. I have un-installed and reinstalled VLC 4 times now. I use ccleaner to uninstall.

Yes, every one. Then I get a crash report option, I click YES to send crash report and VLC restarts. If the DVD is a straight DVD, that is, no on screen menu selections, sometimes it will go ahead and play when it re-starts after the crash report. If it is a full DVD with on screen navigation, it cr...

I just upgraded and VLC crashes everytime I try to play a dvd. Screen shot. Windows XPPro SP3 current updates. .
