The VideoLAN Forums

I'm using Windows XP in my new office machine and every day, my system would hang just once...I was unable to find the culprit, but today, i figured out that VLC was using 99% of CPU (dunno why). ONce i killed it, it resumed properly and hopefully end of the problem for the day.

Any ideas why? My VLC version is 0.8.6d (wxWidgets Interface)

Is there some action which causes freezing of VLC? Like certain video file?

I usually play online radio at office...so no specific file...it's streaming media...but it plays continuously for hours at times

If it takes hours before problems sneaks up, it might be a little difficult to figure it out. One thing you can try is to open View -> Messages and see what the last messages are when VLC hangs.

any way to log this onto a file? I think VLC becomes unresponsive and i'm not sure that i'll be able to goto View-->Messages

--file-logging from commandline should do it.

ok, i'll turn on logging and see what it comes up with...
