hi,
sorry for bad english....
i have tested some nightly builds of vlc 0.9.0. if i doubleclick the vlc.exe nothing happens.i have tried 6 different versions. if i try the same with windows vista the programm runs perfectly. also with "....vlc.exe --extraintf=http --http-host :8080" command line for streaming.
can someon tell me please how to get this program to work with win xp sp2?

thanks in advance!

Reset preferences and cache.

thanks! can you short explain how to reset the cache?

i have the vlc 0.8.6d not installed, only the zip-version. i deletet the vlc folder in "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\MyName\Anwendungsdaten\vlc"
is that the same? that not solves my problem!

Weird then... I don't have the bug. Which nightly are you using ?

i have tried the newest version, 2 days old, 2 weeks old, 2 month old...... it has nothing to do with a special version. if i delete the vlc folder (cache, settings) und after that i start the new 0.9.0 vlc.exe the screen flickers and an new vlc folder is created and the exe shut down. if i try to rund whith start -- cmd ("dos box") the programm starts normally, but not with the command line i need (vlc.exe --extraintf=http --http-host :8080)

if you launch it normally what happens ?

If you launch it with vlc -Iqt --extraintf http what happens ?

What are the messages...

if i doubleclick the vlc.exe file nothing happens. the screen flickers short. but the vlc-folder is created in that moment. if i start the taskmanager no vlc.exe ist shown.

I can't debug your VLC. It works here.
