If it does, do a bug report (assuming you can share the http m3u stream address). Here you go: http://www.outburst-audio.com/maik/vlc.m3u It's not a proper M3U file, I know! But it shouldn't crash VLC! Steps to reproduce the crash: -> download the vlc.m3u file onto your computer -> open VLC (empty)...

VLC 0.8.6i just crashed here. Just opened a http m3u stream and closed VLC afterwards: Microsoft (R) DrWtsn32 Anwendungsausnahme aufgetreten: Anwendung: C:\Programme\VLC\vlc.exe (pid=1056) Wann: 26.07.2008 @ 20:39:46.750 Ausnahmenummer: c0000005 (Zugriffsverletzung) *----> Systeminformationen <----*...

preferences -> video -> output modules

(make sure to enable the "advanced options" in the bottom right corner first to see this options)

This worked for me, thank you. Does it work 100%? Can you please test this (with disabled OSD in the preferences): -> play a video -> go to fullscreen -> press M (to mute) -> press M again => here i get this: http://www.outburst-audio.com/misc/vlc-osd.jpg (at the right side a volumebar appears) :(

Disable OSD in the preferences.

this doesn't help. you still get this stuff displayed in fullscreen mode.

would like to know this too!

With enabled "repeat" in the playlist, VLC often crashes with this error: Microsoft (R) DrWtsn32 Copyright (C) 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp. Alle Rechte vorbehalten. Anwendungsausnahme aufgetreten: Anwendung: C:\Programme\VLC\vlc.exe (pid=980) Wann: 10.04.2008 @ 22:28:21.125 Ausnahmenummer: c0...

Don't know. Didn't tried it again. Just wanted to let you know about it ...

Just got this crash last night with VLC 0.8.6f while watching this http://dewy.fem.tu-ilmenau.de/CCC/24C3/matroska/24c3-2158-en-the_arctic_cold_war.mkv movie (from my harddisk) . The crash occured somewhere in the middle of the movie. The video stopped and I got the usual error pop-up from Windows. ...

You shouldn't have to touch this option. --minimize-threads is already enabled by default for the cases where it doesn't hurt (like streaming to a file). For most cases this option will hurt performance (especially video playing).

VLC only can play very few old QuickTime files. For newer ones you need to have QuickTime installed. VLC then can use this a bit like "external codec" ...

maybe you have to enable "deinterlacing"!?

ok, i'll test it with the next final release then ...

no, i'm only working with "stable" releases on my machine. do you think it will work in the latest builds?

When playing this file http://dewy.fem.tu-ilmenau.de/CCC/CCCamp07/video/m4v/cccamp07-en-2050-Estonia_and_information_warfare.m4v (436 MB) and skipping directly to about ~30 minutes, then VLC is loosing the audio-playback. Video is still running. Any chance to get this fixed? main debug: creating new...

200% ? this would result in distortion here in most cases ...

if i really need it louder, i use the big knob on my amplifier

"0% - 100% slider" should be there instead of the "0% - 200% slider"

isn't it logged in the messages i've posted above? i can read something about "mp4" and "svq-3 (sorenson video v3)" ...

Here a logfile from Drwtsn32 after experiencing a crash while playing a *.mov file (which was corrupt or incomplete): Microsoft (R) DrWtsn32 Copyright (C) 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

agreed. this would be amazing if we could get asio back.

you get the smooth blue slider if windows is runnning with the old windows2000-look (classic theme) ...

fact is, most players use WaveOut

? maybe 10 years ago. most players use wdm (directsound) these days ...

asio output (portaudio) doesn't work anymore since version 0.8.2. somebody (re)added portaudio to the last builds (0.8.6), but that alone doesn't make it working ...
