At first i ran VLC 1.0.5 but loading a m3u made it crash/hang.

Now i'm running VLC 1.1.0 rc but this one is complaining that it's unable to find files

File reading failed:

Code: Select all

VLC could not open the file "\\F:\MP3\********************.mp3".
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'file://F:\MP3\********************.mp3'. Check the log for details.
File reading failed:
VLC could not open the file "\\F:\MP3\********************.mp3".
Your input can't be opened:

File reading failed:

(renamed filenames to ******************)

A small portion i could grab from logging:

System I'm running VLC on is Win7 x64.

Any suggestions?

m3u is build like this

Code: Select all

01-*****************************.mp3
02-*****************************.mp3
03-*****************************.mp3
etc
23-*****************************.mp3
24-*****************************.mp3

Now I'm running version 0.8.6 and that doesn't seem to have problems with it.

Sometimes with latest version or with RC it did show some songs correct (1 out of 9) but most of them it didn't and it gave errors like showed above.

-update
Did some more testing and the latest working version for me is 1.0.2 after that it fails.

Could it be that there are some faulty registry settings from previous installs?
I selected to remove cache etc during install.

-update2
I was wrong, after applying a skin and changing some simple settings it fails as well

-update3
Don't know what happened but after installing latest version again and setting settings to default it seems to work now.
Only thing i didn't was file association to all extensions!!!
