1.0.0 and following versions...

[UnKnOwN_86]

I have downloaded the last version from that page http://nightlies.videolan.org/ (Windows) and had a problem...

I have already downloaded several different versions, from different days and the last days after installing the version i cant even run the program, it starts with a crash...





(When you need the text file marked in that screenshot just ask and i will post the content of it)

The last version that i could run was from the directory "trunk-20080824-0930/" Version "vlc-0.9.0-win32.exe". Also i want to tell you that the following two directory: "trunk-20080825-0005/", "trunk-20080825-0904/",

As you can see i am using Windows XP Home, if you need any further information to help me solve that problem just ask.
Hope you can help me fix that problem, i really want to test the latest versions.

You have tried to reset VLC settings?

[UnKnOwN_86]

How can i reset settings when i cant even open vlc? It crashes right away when i start it. I wana open the exe/a file/context menu or whatsoever you wana open it i always get the message you can see in my previous post (images/screens).

You can delete VLC's settings by going to:
C:\Document and Settings\(Your username)\Application Data

And delete the "vlc" folder.

Arite.

You can delete them from %APPDATA%\vlc folder

But that didn't help, I can't get any 1.0.0 version to run. I was running fine earlier on 0.9.0 build (forgot the exact one, but it was early august build i think)

I'll have to try out all 0.9.0 builds on monday to see which one i can run right now (on XP SP3) if i still can't get latest nightly to run. I could also include mini-dump if that would help. Let me know if including heap will be good ? (zipped heap mini dump is around 8mb)

I dont even have a vlc-folder in that path you gave me.

I have just checked the site, of the nightlybuilds and noticed that 2 new folders have been added. First one is empty but in the second one was a "new" exe to download "vlc-0.9.1-win32.exe".

Now i am wondering why is this version older? (now its 0.9.1 the same date different forlder its 1.0.0) And what version will i see tomorow? (Maybe a surprice and its 0.9.2? )

And this version didnt crash, so thx to the programers if they did it as a responed to my thread.

Which path did you check? If you've run VLC in the past, you should have a 'vlc' folder somewhere in your Applications Data folder (it could be buried on another folder level, though.) Try this: Start > Run > enter '%appdata% ' (without the quotes) in the Run window, and press Enter. In the Explorer window that pops up, is there a 'vlc' sub-folder?

Just to be safe, you might also want to completely uninstall the previous version of VLC before installing a nightly build, or install them to a separate folder.

[UnKnOwN_86]

Just to make one thing clear (this time) i have already installed several nightlybuilds and they all worked fine.

I think the vlc-folder didnt exist because it gets created after you have run vlc the first time and because the versions i have the crash never runed even once it never got to the part where its supposed to create that folder.

So now that i have installed the "new" verison vlc-0.9.1-win32.exe of the folder "branch-20080829-1915/" from the site http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win32/?C=M;O=D and runed it succesfully the folder exists again.

I only had problems starting vlc with the version of the following folders:
trunk-20080829-0005/ 29-Aug-2008 00:31 -
trunk-20080828-0037/ 28-Aug-2008 01:16 -
trunk-20080828-0005/ 28-Aug-2008 00:34 -
trunk-20080827-0005/ 27-Aug-2008 00:30 -
trunk-20080826-0005/ 26-Aug-2008 00:39 -
In those folders there are only 1.0.0 versions. I thought the programers are working on 0.9.1 right now or already at 1.0.0?
Because the recent olders consist now 0.9.1 versions i am bit confused....
They started with 0.9.0 than for 5 days it was the version 1.0.0 and now back to 0.9.1????? So what version are you working now, 0.9.0 or 0.9.1 or already 1.0.0????

[VLC_help]

Most folders under appdata are normally hidden, you have to enable viewing from Windows Explorer before you can remove them.

[DOOOMKULTUS]

I encountered the exact same problem myself.Couldn't do anything to solve it.I just reverted back to 0.9.0 for the moment.

[ioke]

To answer your question which version they are working on currently I'd say it would be 0.9.1, and none of the 1.0.0 builds work properly after 8/27/08.
