Keep Getting Error Messages

Postby Son of Spam » 28 Jul 2010 04:02

Hello:

I keep getting the following Error Log everytime I play media files with VLC:

File reading failed:
VLC could not open the file "C:\DOCUME~1\HP_ADM~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\vlt2\layout\dvd_file.png".
File reading failed:
VLC could not open the file "C:\DOCUME~1\HP_ADM~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\vlt2\layout\video_file.png".
File reading failed:
VLC could not open the file "C:\DOCUME~1\HP_ADM~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\vlt2\layout\audio_file.png".
File reading failed:
VLC could not open the file "C:\DOCUME~1\HP_ADM~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\vlt2\layout\cone.png".

The media will still play, but the Error Log keeps showing up along with it (and I don't have to tell you how annoying it is, lol!).

Why?

And more importantly:

What can I do to stop it from reappearing?

Or the temp cleaning has removed some of those files. Either way the VLC 1.2.0 should fix this.

Where can I download 1.2.0 ? I can't find the link.

You can try nightly builds. VLC 1.2.0 stable release will take time.
http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win32/?C=M;O=D trunks are 1.2.0

It is indeed a skin with missing files.

The annoying dialog boxes have just been deactivated. You can use either vlc1.2.0 or vlc1.1.2, since the fix has been backported.

Those errors will still appear in the log, since those are real errors, that should be reported to the skin developper.
