vlc player disappears when loading video or music

Postby bpjim » 21 Sep 2008 12:37

Hi, I'm using the latest version of VLC Player 0.9.2 and I found a few bugs:

When switching video to full screen mode - sometimes at the end of the video, vlc media player disappears
- and I have to reset the pc

And when I load a VLC media file (.m3u) stream, the vlc media player disappears
- and to stop the stream, I have to reboot the pc

I'm using win xp pro sp2

Cheers, Jim

You can't kill vlc.exe from task manager?

No, it doesn't appear on the task manager when vlc player disappears, it would stream the music 'till I reset the pc

- had no problems while using the previous version

I have this problem too, WinXP Pro SP2. However, I can find vlc in the process list in task manager after it disappears. Actually, I found that it leaves vlc open in the tray, but not in the window form that it was while playing.

I'm using the default Interface 'Native - with display mode: Classic look'

No skins
