The VideoLAN Forums

hi, there is a thing bugging me for years, and I'm astonished this wasn't reported and/or fixed yet

so here I am for the report

set vlc to loop videos
create a link to a video
delete the video (not the link)
click on the video

vlc with then go batshit and eat all your cpu power non stop
will no longer respond, only way to stop it is kill it in process explorer

please fix this annoying bug that has been pestering us for years

This was reported many times. It's just not that easy to fix.

How is this difficult to fix? I thought you guys were the Elite

Limit the number of reports to 3 per session. Et Voilà!

C'est bon Rémi, tu t'en occupes ?
Trois ou quatre lignes de code devraient suffire.
