The VideoLAN Forums

I have updated the vlc-player, to version 0.8.6h, and i would use, the "Screenshot-Function".

If I click on the "Screenshot" crash the VLC.

0.8.6h has not been officially released yet, use 0.8.6f:

Arite.

Which one did you take ?

For your information the win32 build here (I tried the *.zip archive) crashes when taking a snapshot as basti2k said:

even with ffmpeg from version f

The download-URL is: http://downloads.videolan.org/pub/video ... -win32.exe

even with ffmpeg from version f

Yes, it still crashes after replacing libffmepg_plugin.dll with the one from 0.8.6f. I also tried the 0.8.6f version of libpng_plugin.dll (not that that would likely be the cause) - still crashed. Finally I tried it will all of the 0.8.6f plugins and it still crashed.

Gloups. libvlc issue ?

Yes - works fine using the 0.8.6f libvlc.dll.

Argh...

Arite, would you be nice to test it with all plugins from 0.8.6h and libvlc.dll from f ?

Thxn for the report

Snapshot is fixed in the current 0.8.6-bugfix code and 0.8.6h final will be released shortly. Compared to the initial files that were briefly on the FTP server (which was not final) there are several enhancements:

* Fixed a regression in 0.8.6g where usage of the snapshot feature could lead to an unexpected application termination
* Miscellaneous bugfixes in multiple modules and in libvlc (ftp access, record access filter, video filters, RC interface, playlist demuxer, IP networking, MPJPEG muxer, stream outputs)
* Improved support for MPEG2 content created by Final Cut Pro
* More reliable audio reception for MPEG TS streams
* New Serbian translation
* Updated Romanian translation

Sometimes files are put on FTP to prepare synchronising with mirror FTP sites before a release. As always remember it isn't final until the announcements are made on the main site. In this case many websites blindly linked to and/or reported 0.8.6h final was out but that wasn't the case yet..

That is what I did afterwards just to make sure the only 0.8.6f lib was libvlc.dll - it also worked fine.

OK, good to know - thanks for the info .

I knew it, which is it a beta version, but if one so which does not test, one has perhaps such errors in the final version.

translated with babelfish

The place for test (beta) versions is the pub/testing folder on FTP. This 0.8.6h was not supposed to be a beta but the real thing (which is why the about box will show 0.8.6h and the file was on FTP already so I understand this can confuse some people) but it was revoked/pulled (broken snapshot being related) before an announcement was made, some additional fixes are now being included for the actual release.
