Stop Hotkey Is Not Stopping Video, It is Bad-“Closing” VLC

Postby MarcosCR » 27 Sep 2008 02:17

In the new 0.9.2 version of VCL player, used to play videos, the 'Stop' hotkey is not working properly : it is not stopping the current video; it is closing VLC. It is causing the same effect of the 'Quit' hotkey.

To worse the things, to close or quit VCL with a video playing, before stop the video, is causing an additional bug : most of the times, VCL is not being completely closed. It disappear from the screen, but continues open, with it's button being showed in the Windows Task Bar and in the Windows Task Manager, accessed by CTRL-ALT-DEL. Despite open, we can not access it. And, with it open this way, to open another instance of VCL to play the same video or another cause it others unduly behavior.

here what I got
Win XP sp2, last nighly 0.9.3, pref : disable icon in systray.

when in windows mode : the Stop Hotkey works perfectly.
when in Fullscreen, it stops the video too but minimize VLC window
this is a tiny misbehavior
I suppose this is your probem MarcosCR, but with icon enabled in systray it might be harder to see.
