Re: 2.0.4 Update Problem

The most basic principle of open-soruce is that you scratch your own itches. If you don't scratch them, you should not expect some unspecified third party, certainly not hobbyist programmers unrelated to you, to scratch them on your behalf.

Re: 2.0.4 Update Problem

Hey eastcoaster, you are right. As soon as I read your post I remembered that is what I resorted to on the last update.. That time I stumbled onto the solution while poking around and is how I got it installed. This update needs the same work around. It had been just long enough since the 2.0.3 upd...

Re: 2.0.4 Update Problem

Re: 2.0.4 Update Problem

Downloading 2.0.4 gets to 100% (or maybe just before that) and the application disappears. Upon rebooting VLC, the error message "The application has just crashed..." appears. This behavior is 100% repeatable even with preferences reset and anti-virus temporarily disabled. I believe that ...

Re: power management - standby / screensaver while paused

This is part of a bigger issue with power management/VLC interference that can also cause jittery playback/stutter because the system timer is not properly read for some odd reason. I have no idea how they solved this in WMP that is working fine on all machines affected by this issue. Workaround so...

Re: power management - standby / screensaver while paused

This is in my worklist. (for Windows releases)

Re: power management - standby / screensaver while paused

I have the same request. I am used to Windows Media player which automatically activates the "Windows 7 - Screen Saver" or "Windows 7 - Turn Off Display" functions during inactivity such as Paused Video or No Video Playback and even while playing Music with the Windows Media Play...
