Okay, can you provide some more information
- OS (WinXP, Win7, Linux, .. ) ?
- vlc version ?
- logs ( vlc -I skins --verbose 2 1> c:\\log 2>&1) to guess what was wrong
- a gdb backtrace (if possible) to know for sure where the problem lies

Hmm, does it really crash ? Or is it just that the fullscreen mode (black screen) is kept after the playlist is over. In which case, pressing the 'f' hotkey should toggle the skin back to normal mode. (known bug)

Thanks for the answer, I'll try it. And will it be fixed for Win32 platform in the next versions? Well, there is no real bug. And what you wish to do is 100% available. It is just that, had vlc been designed to reuse the main GUI thread for video subwindows, the libvlc developpers would have been a...

Unlike Linux, disabling mouse events on Win32 at vlc level (libvlc_video_set_mouse_input(mp, false)) _only_ disables mouse interaction. There is no built-in propagation flag that allows the system to get up the hierarchy of windows till one is interested in processing such events. As of today, for r...

This crashing thing is weird, and your log doesn't show any skins2 activity. Either it is truncated or the problem is elsewhere. Also, --verbose 2 shortcut is -vv, not -v, IIRC First thing would be to download the latest .vlt files from the skins website. I sent jb some corrections on a whole bunch ...

I have the same problem with skins not working on VLC 1.1.0. I tried using "uDeluxe.vlt" skin. It causes all sorts of problems. a full log of what was wrong with this skin would be helpful. You can use the following command at the command line : vlc -I skins --verbose 2 1> c:\\log 2>&...

fixed in the next update of vlc1.1

This multi-monitor thing is a skins2 issue (skins2 engine). In that respect, the qt4 interface does things that the more basic skins2 engine doesn't do. This can be added to the feature request list.

A last thing, the documentation is not that clear about what minangle and maxangle means. The vlc trigonometry goes like this : - angle = 0 is the Y-axis towards the bottom - it goes clockwise For your radial.png, you should give the following : minangle="45.0'' maxangle="315.0" for t...

Obviously, this skin feature (RadialSlider) was never finished. I found several bugs that prevented it from working at all.
You don't have more logs, because it crashed

I'm about to commit fixes. It will be available in a soon-to-come update of vlc1.1

If you look for help, please describe your problems with full details (what doesn't work, logs, config, ....). I just installed 1.1.0 on my Vista OC and then decided to grab the My PSP Black skin. Everytime I try to use VLC player now a list of errors pops up and VLC won't work. :evil: This skin doe...

It seems the RadialSlider tag has not been used a lot. A search on the whole set of skins available on http://www.videolan.org/vlc/skins.php gives no such tag.

As for your skin, you should have more logs. Can you paste your .vlt file somewhere so that I can have a look at it.

vlc -I skins --verbose 2 --skins2-last your_skins.vlt 1> c:\\tmp\\log 2>&1

What does the log say ? (vlc --verbose 2). If there is a syntax error or something wrong, this log will tell you

just reset config : => vlc --reset-config

I do have such a patch, and it works fine, but I don't think it is the right solution. first, it is a hack to work out a deeper design issue (multiple threads for the GUI). I would rather work out the root problem than work around its effects. Second, on msdn site, there are warnings against using t...

Beware. Just posting the mouse event is not sufficient. You need to recompute the lParam (mouse coordinates) with respect to the parent window. Also, there are not one but two subwindows

you can use either the 'i' hotkey or press the mouse middle button to toggle this fullscreen controller.

For fullscreen to remain unaltered, internal "vout reuse" must be possible. And it is possible only when the following conditions are met : same width, same height, same chroma when going from one video to the next. vlc1.1 is no different than vlc1.0 in that respect. It seems only latest c...

'Always on top' was not implemented by the skin engine in vlc1.0.x

It is fixed in vlc1.1 (just about to be released)

You can download the skin at http://www.2shared.com/file/NSg_JvYy/fullscreen1024_768.html The skin filename is fullscreen1024_768.vlt. As it is stated in the name, it is ready for a 1024x768 screen. If you have a different size, decompress the .vlt file (actually, it is a tar.gz format), edit theme....

For now, width and height must be hardcoded. It would indeed be a nice feature to have it independent of the screen resolution.

I should already have such a skin, if you are not that familiar with the skin development.

Though it is not available right out of the box, what you describe can be achieved very easily with a dedicated skin. 1- Create a vlc skin whose sole widget is a video widget sized to fill up the screen. 2- Optionally, create a fullscreen controller (or reuse the one shipped with the default skin) t...

vlc1.1 has no problem with this ampersand issue.

Yet, the uri format file://localhost/C:/ ..... is not right, and won't work with vlc.
It has to be file:///C:/.......

I'm using VLC 1.1 RC to display a video in a QWidget (Qt 4.5.2.) on Win32. It seems that VLC swallows all mouse clicks on the widget set with libvlc_media_player_set_hwnd. No MousePressed, MouseDoubleClick, MouseReleased event is fired on the underlaying widget... david Yes, vlc spawns child window...
