A similar thing happened to me. And I also never had a problem with VLC audio before. In my case, I had two "Speakers" playback settings (i.e., two outputs). One was for an "ATAPI Internal ATAPI Jack" ("high definition audio device") and was unused. VLC tried to use it,...

When I try to go to

https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/2955

I get a 404 error. Is the ticket dead, or is the site having a problem?

Does anyone know if the file name issue was resolved in 1.01? I don't see any mention of it in the changelog:

http://wiki.videolan.org/Changelog/1.0.1

Thanks.

And just to reconfirm the situation on Mac OS X: Something has changed in the captures from version 9.9 to 1.0.0. See the image below, containing a screenshot from Finder that shows three version 1.0.0 snapshots on top (e.g., Movieqq00/14/26qq00003.png) with slashes in the file names and three versi...

I'm not sure where to post this as it affects Windows and Mac versions of 1.0.0, and it's also been previously discussed in the feature requests forum: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=23991&start=15 But I'll explain it here since it probably will get the most comments. Version ...

Version 1.0.0 seems to have broken the timecode variable: $T. In the Mac OS X version, it tries to save the timecode with colons in it, which the OS converts to slashes in the file name. And in the Windows version, it just wigs out when you try to use $T. That is, it does not make a snapshot at all....

I've had a problem with various versions of VLC on Windows and Mac: Sometimes changes to the preferences won't stick. For example, right now I'm using version 0.9.9a on Mac OSX. If I go into the preferences, select Video and then adjust the Prefix of Video Snapshots and click the Save button, the ch...

Hey! In build of 15 May, the preferences open correctly with the options appearing correctly. I can change the stuffs in there. Can you see anything beyond the Audio settings in preferences? When I try to pull up preferences within Video, Input/Codecs, etc., it's just blank. And the issue is the sa...

Been having pretty good luck with the 4/21/2008 release on OS X 10.5.2. It does frame grabs from DVDs, which is one of my main reasons for using it. And it inserts the time code into the file name correctly, which previous versions had not done. Yes! But there is one problem with the frame grabs and...

Cool.

Any idea when the Mac OS X Intel nightly builds will be updated? Currently, the most recent one is 4 January 2008.

Thanks.

Thanks for the quick response! I'll track the bug from now on.

Regards,

Version 0.9 includes a cool feature by which you can insert a video's time code into the filename. If you specify "$T" (no quotation marks) in the video prefix option, it'll be replaced by the time code. In the Windows version, the time code looks like 00_05_25 , with underscores placed wh...

Just ran into a problem with special characters in the Mac OSX Intel version of VLC -- particularly, trunk-intel-20070818-0129.dmg (8/18 is the latest Mac build I can get to run; I haven't found any after that that will work on my system). When I use the $T option, the part of the filename with time...

There do not appear to be new builds for 20070909 or 20070910, for MacOS X Intel. The builds are back, but now I cannot get the latest builds to run. I've tried several from around trunk-intel-20070920-0125.dmg (for Mac Intel) and they appear to install properly, but when clicked VLC does not run a...

Odd...

Anything up?

Thanks.

I'm experiencing crashes with the Mac OSX-Intel nightlies. When I try to play a DVD, it crashes without explanation. This is on a MacBook, running version 10.4.10. I increased the verbosity level to 2, but I still didn't see any error messages. Is it writing them to disk somewhere? So far, I've trie...

Will do.

I'd like to help out with the VLC documentation over on the wiki.

Since file uploads are disabled, how should I contribute screenshots to it?

Regards,

Cool.

Thank you for all the work you do.

It's been 6 months since I've had time to work on this issue. I'm happy to report that there's been some good progress! This time around, I used vlc-0.9.0-svn-20070708-0000-win32.exe And for some mystical reason, the $T variable ("time") worked! I got filenames that were based on the timec...

Similar error when saving as a JPEG: [00000335] main interface debug: opening config file (C:\Documents and Settings\ Jeremy\Application Data\vlc\vlcrc) [00000335] main interface debug: opening config file (C:\Documents and Settings\ Jeremy\Application Data\vlc\vlcrc) [00000438] main encoder debug: ...

I tried the latest version (vlc-0.9.0-svn-20070203-0415-win32.exe) and got the same error, but I used -vvv to get a more verbose error log. Here's the whole thing, although I assume you just need the stuff at the bottom. To my uneducated eye, it looks like there's a problem with ffmpeg encoder. -- e...

I'll try it later, but could it be related to the difference between starting it from the command line and starting it by double-clicking its icon?

I'm grasping at straws here...

We're very close, but there's still some kinda problem. Could it be the forward slash just before the filename? Here's the error I get: [00000433] main video output error: could not create snapshot C:\Documents and Settings\Jeremy\My Documents\My Pictures/00_02_49_4993163.png Using vlc-0.9.0-svn-200...

I'll add a small function to replace all forbidden chars in filenames. Since i'm kind of lazy i'd appreciate if someone could give me the list of forbidden characters on windows. Happy to assist: * . " / \ [ ] : ; | = Also, in the file name it tried to write before, that is: C:\Documents and S...

Does windows allow using ':' in filenames ? (it works on linux)

Ah yes, that is a problem. Windows doesn't allow ':' in filenames.

Mebbe the colon could be replaced with a hyphen or something?

Thanks for your work on this.
