I'm still experiencing it too. I stopped using VLC as much, mostly because i'm using the PS3 and a different TV, but on the odd occasion I use VLC it still hangs like this too.

I tried to reproduce it from within gdb on the nightly build, but I couldn't get it to fail. I'll have a go with the current production version in the next few days.

Ah, I had to wait and hit enter a couple of times. I'll try and reproduce the problem in a day or two when i'm back at my main PC, thanks.

I installed GDB 6.3.2 (as the 7.1 version you linked to isn't a valid win32 application). I run gdb, then ran vlc. The process started, I could see it in the task list, but no gui ever appeared. Do you have any more gdb tips?

I'll do that after Christmas and report back

I know that question wasn't for me, but i'll answer anyway. I can't use gdb, but i'm a developer so I could probably work it out if I knew what I was trying to achieve and had a guide.

I'm on 1.1.5 and it's still happening, but i've narrowed down the situations it occurs in. I'm on XP32, SP3, nVidia video card. I have a Samsung LCD monitor on the DVI port, and I have a Samsung LCD TV on the VGA port. When any video, any format, finishes playing when full screen on the TV VLC hangs...

Oooh, that's new. I'll try it, thanks

Edit - a quick test says this one seems better, but it's intermittent anyway. I'll post again if the issue hasn't been fixed.

Unfortunately that didn't help. I think it's a bug, rather than a problem with my computer or a setting.

I don't think it's that, because video all plays fine, it's just when I close the video it crashes. I'll give that a go though and report back, thanks

I'm on XP32 SP3, all the latest updates, on a decent machine. When I close the video either at the end or part way through, 80% of the time it hangs, I get a white screen, then windows says it's crashed and I send an error report. I can't find anything in common with the videos, they're all sorts, s...
