Portable accesses Installed vlcrc? & decode_slice_header error

[slimmi]

Win 7 SP1
VLC 2.2.4 install (exe)
VLC 2.1.5 portable (zip)

Hello,
I wanted to make a video from the desktop with VLC 2.2.4. VLC 2.2.4 crashes every time. Then I was recommended to VLC 2.1.5 and start recording via the command line. That worked.

Code: Select all

START "" F:\VIDEOLAN\VLC215\vlc.exe --extraintf=logger --verbose=2 --logfile=F:\VIDEOLAN\vlc.log --logmode=text --file-logging screen:// :screen-fps=25 :screen-left=0 :screen-top=0 :screen-width=960 :screen-height=540 :sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=1600}:file{dst=F:\\VIDEOLAN\\Test_01.mp4}

But, when playing, there is an error in the log-screen.

Code: Select all

[h264 @ 076e5820] A non-intra slice in an IDR NAL unit. [h264 @ 076e5820] decode_slice_header error

Is "log-screen" the correct name for this?:

Next, I was recommended to uninstall the installed VLC 2.2.4.
Now I have seen that the Portable VLC 2.1.5 creates a directory in C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\vlc and saves the vlcrc and other files there. In the same location as the installed version? There is a Portable version. What do it in C:\Users???!

I was told that the error message could come from FFmpeg. I have Audacity Portable version stored on the PC and in the same directory of Audacity the FFmpeg code since I need it in Audacity.

Another problem is that after uninstalling the installed VLC 2.2.4, there are still lots of registry entries. Please, I do not want third-party software to clean up.

The best for last. Here is a topic from 2014 with "decode_slice_header error" without reply ...

VLC 3 is portable if you create "portable" folder in vlc. VLC stores only language setting in registry.

ALL VLCs from version 0.4.0 have a portable version. See here:

I don't create a "portable" folder in vlc... what you mean???
I save the unzip VLC zip in a folder everywhere, and start it from there. OK?
Why writes Portable VLC in the OS directory ??? Thats a NO-GO for Portable. When a portable VLC version writes in the registry, thats a BIG NO-GO!
If I use an installed version and a portable version, because the one can do what the other can not, then both come in the way and nothing works. It's a great work.
Good portable programs ask where to save their settings file. In the same folder as the program, or in the user folder of the OS. With a USB stick, and in any case, "write in the same folder as the program is saved" is always the best. VLC does not ask.

As was explained to you, you can use the portable edition in 3.0
