The VideoLAN Forums

I've been trying to use VLC to play some mpg videos. The VLC version is 3.0.20 Vetinari. This is on Windows 11, 23H2, 22631.3880.

I've turned on logging and run a few videos with the same issue. Each video stops playing 7-10 seconds in. VLC remains open. The sound stops as well.

I couldn't post the entire log file, too big. Here were a few lines that might be valuable in tracking down the issue.

We need the full log, from the very beginning to the very end. Please open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before you start the playback, keep the messages 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.

Also upload a short sample of your original problematic file to WeTransfer.com or Disroot.org and then post the link to the file here.

I appreciate the quick response. Thank you. Unfortunately, I can't upload the video. The data it contains was collected as part of a study & includes confidential information. Today I tried ffplay/mpv & was able to get the full video to play. It's not VLC, but I'll see if it is enough.

I tried pastebin.com, the file was too big. I tried Justpaste.it a few times and the page froze. For now, I give up. Thanks anyway.
