Instant crash in 3.0.7.1 in Windows 10 chosing either Open Network Stream or Convert/Save from Media menu
Posted: 24 Jun 2019 20:09
I am having this problem with VLC 3.0.7.1 ... It used to work.
I get an instant crash when I select either Media -> Open Network Stream or Media -> Convert / Save which is the other way to open a stream to save. VERY STRANGE. I turned on logging and set it to the hightest available verbosity (Debug), and I get the attached output when I try to Open Network Stream, then restart after the crash and try Convert / Save. For both ultimately it says:
main: playlist is empty
main debug: nothing to play
Log file for Media -> Convert Neteork Stream then Convert/Save:

I don't think a playlist should be needed to open a network stream. But I see in the main frame "Playlist is currently empty. Drop one here or Select a media source from the left."
However, if I click "Network Stream" under "Local Network" while a stream is playing it spins busy for a minute then stops without finding anything.
So there appears to be NO way to use either command for me now. Is there something I need to do to allow VLC to access the local network? Don't see any settings to enable or disable that.
Also, Convert/Save should not require network access at all, and it shoud bring up that interface to convert a local file WITHOUT A PLAYLIST, but it just crashes. No idea what would make it act this way just for me. I have seen other users elsewhere with the same issue ([url]https://www.reddit.com/r/VLC/comments/c493p3/help_vlc_crashes_when_trying_to_open_network/[/url])
WTF is wrong with my VLC settings, or my OS settings, or with VLC 3.0.7.1 on WIndows 10.0.14393.1770? (No updates are pending.)
