2.2.0 (stable) hasn't been released yet, so from an user point of view it is not fixed. And why couldn't the fix been implemented in the recently released 2.1.5?

Because devs have plenty on their plate to deal with on every release LOL

The bug report does say 2.2.0...

That's what I suspected, but did not have time to check. Thanks.

I second that - it's not fixed.

VLC 2.1.5

Windows 7 Ultimate x64

Config is Not being converted into correct string.

Did you file a bugreport?

There is a bug report for this:
https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/9938

Can it be elevated? This is the most useful feature of VLC, and one I need weekly.

I am having the same issue as well. VLC 2.1.1 Win7 Ultimate x64.

Answering my own question:

%f ?

That crashes VLC.

Hello

VLC accepts stftime() functions such as %y-%m-%d for the screenshot filename.

However, I would like to append the name of the video played to the created screenshot, as in:

vlcsnap-%y-%m-%d-%h-%m-OriginalFilename

Actually, this was not solved at all. VLC is back to showing a very large screen before and after a file is played. And it crashes when resuming from hibernate.

After I have deleted the config folder, I do not see it crashing when turning off a monitor. It did crash on playing some files, so I will continue to test that.

Yes, that solved the large size problem. I'll try to produce a debug output as well.

Also, why does it start in an INSANELY LARGE window, only later to switch to the proper video size corresponding to the video playing??? I'm about to DOWNGRADE. Previous version had none of this insanity.

Hello

New to the forum, researching that. Can you please provide a link to a "how to". That would be useful as a sticky somewhere.

Crashes on entering any power save functions. (Win XP)

Guess I know why it was called "The Luggage". That luggage is showing up. THIS VERSION IS THE WORST VERSION EVER, ALMOST AS BAD AS THE ONE THAT CRASHED ON SCREENSHOTS. How long will it take to fix this? Crashes every time if a second monitor is disabled from Display Manager (Win XP) Random...
