Win 7 x64 SP1 here too, with all updates from MS update applied... using VLC x64 for live tv stream viewing.. 2.1.5 crashes a lot too in addition to the usual problem ...the broken vinyl continuous play loop...
i usually start vlc with the command line:
"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --repeat --http-reconnect "
http://rtvflash.smcmobile.ro:8020/rtv.flv"
(from a shortcut)
the repeat and http reconnect flags combined should ensure that VLC reconnects to the live tv stream in the event that the video feed drops out.. it does that but it also causes VLC to sometimes get stuck in a continuous play loop.. repeatedly playing the same video sequence as a broken record.
anyway.. getting lots of crashes too since i upgraded to 2.1.5..
