The VideoLAN Forums

Hello, since i didn't find any thread related to this i thought i'd make one.

I installed Win8 RC yesterday and somehow VLC crashes whenever i try to open a video.

Since i figured there might be something wrong with the installation i deinstalled and reinstalled it. After that VLC could play the video, but only once. When i tried to play it a second time (or a second video) it crashed again.

Does anybody have similar problems with windows 8?

I agree VLC is unstable on Windows 8.
I only tested my builds (win32/win64 vlc-2.0-git vlc.git) on VirtualBox, not on real machine on Windows 8.
I couldn't catch the reason why VLC suddenly crashed. gdb didn't help.

Seems so, deleted win8 again and just switching to 7.
Cant live without my vlc :<

The issue is not VLC, but your graphic drivers.

I had the same issue, uninstalled the latest VLC and tried couple of older versions.

vlc-1.1.9 works fine.

On Windows 8, you should use 2.0.3

hello so i have a microsoft surface pro2. notice that vlc works half the time. so started to run some tests. found it only works when its on wifi. im thinking vlc has some spywear thats causing the problem. so anyone programer savy to confirm this?
