Some files don't give an error

Postby prg2002 » 02 Jul 2024 05:56

I tried a file I had downloaded a while ago, and nothing happened (I thought).
Turned out it was just not playable through VLC Player and I have no clues.

Help

Sample:

Code: Select all

It's playing fine for me with latest VLC version 3.0.21 as of today.
Please open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before you start the playback, keep this window open during the whole process and then paste the full resulting log here or on Pastebin.com or on Justpaste.it if it's too long.

I've updated my Video driver and codec, but still no joy. I followed given instructions, and it gave no feedback or log just closed player

I can't reproduce the issue.

First, reboot your computer.
Uninstall VLC.
Then delete the whole C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\ folder if it's still exists, it might be C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\ if you're using the 32-bit version. Check both folders anyway.
Also delete the whole %APPDATA%\vlc\ folder.

Once done, reboot again and reinstall latest version of VLC, v3.0.21 as of today.
