Sorry - never mind. .nomedia file hijinks. New SD card.

The new version no longer sees any of the media files on my SD card. Go into Settings | Media library folders and check various boxes - go back out - then back in - and nothing has persisted. Uninstalled/reinstalled, rebooting: neither of these fixes the problem. LG Aristo running Android 7.0. 128 g...

vlc 3.0.13 on an LG Aristo running Android 7.0. It seems every time I open/reopen vlc it has to read the metadata again - which takes a min or two but is annoying and shouldn't occur if I consider that it should save that information somewhere. I have a library of some 6,000 files on an SD card. I w...

Thanks - that works.

Is there someplace I can watch (say a bug page) that will let me know when the problem is fixed?

I should add.

I'm on Windows 7 64 bits and normally use the nightly versions for 64 bits (they were broken for a while but are working again). I've tried my xvid clips also with the 32 bit version of vlc 1.3 with the same result (crash - same error message from the msvc runtime).

I use Avidemux2 2.5.4 to pull sections out of longer videos and typically reencode with xvid. I find that every time I try to play these with vlc 1.3 the clips crash like this: --------------------------- Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library --------------------------- Assertion failed! Program: ......

thanks nkoriyama. The PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG is m4_require'd but not m4_defun'd problem in bootstrap was my own. I'd forgotten cp -v /usr/win32/share/aclocal/* m4/ cp -v /usr/share/aclocal/* m4/ from http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileMSYSNew It seems there are many things that can cause one to stumb...

nkoriyama > what, more specifically, is the issue? I went to trac.videolan.org and tried to look up your reports but don't think I found what you're referring to: https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/query?reporter=~koriyama&col=id&col=summary&col=status&col=owner&col=type&col=prior...

I went to c:\users\ME\appdata\roaming and renamed the old vlc directory and now all the latest vlc's run just fine.

So it was something in the startup/config files.

Windows 7 x64. In just the last day or two all vlc's from June or July crash immediately upon startup. Once I get back to my saved version (all 1.2) from January, it runs fine. Tried to follow all the debugging information listed here but never got a well-behaved backtrace. What I finally found is t...

I see.

Trunk doesn't work, but Branch (1.0.5) does work. For at least XVID that is.

Don't know exactly why. But the fix to get things working was simple enough.

I'm guessing that vlc looks for its codecs only in c:\windows\system32 (which is actually the 64-bit system) and not c:\windows\sysWOW64. Wrong. All codecs VLC use are on VLC directory (plugins folder). VLC cannot use DirectShow or VfW codecs. Your WMP and VLC issues aren't related. OK fine - what'...

I'm having the same problem. Just got a new laptop loaded with Windows 7 Home Premium. I typically download a nightly zip of vlc and put it somewhere other than c:\program files. Run vlc, drag and drop (the wrong kind) of video file onto it and vlc crashes. "The wrong kind" ... N.B. AVIs d...

https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/2100 I believe this ticket indicates that Bookmarks are not fixed yet? At least I can't get them to work in either the latest trunk or branch nightly nor in the latest released version 0.9.9. I'm on Windows. When bookmarks do work I assume (from the documentation...

After how many times?

generally 5 times is sufficient.

I might add that I'm reading from a 5400rpm disk (on a laptop).

I'm using the latest nigthlies - tried both trunk and branch. Hitting 'e' or "next frame" several times in succession - whether fast or slow - causes vlc to freeze. The only remedy I've found is to kill and restart vlc.

I'm reading a DVD burned to disk. Codec says it's 'mpgv'.
