player hangs upon end of video in full screen mode
Posted: 16 Sep 2011 20:54
My problem is that most of the time I am playing a video in full screen mode and it reaches the end, it will hang and I have to use a process kill program. Often the fullscreen turns into an all white window (taking up the whole screen) with a close box, which if I click a few times a windows dialog saying the program is not responding appears - which lets you then kill the program.
I use vlc 1.1.11 currently on two computers. Both run windows xp (one is home, other is pro), though their hardware is quite different. One is a compaq laptop, the other is a home built intel board desktop system. Each has multiple monitors. Actually, I've seen this problem in previous versions, and I update every so often hoping this problem will be fixed, but it's been there for quite some time.
Each computer experiences the same problem. The problem seems to occur more often the higher the resolution of the videos. I mostly play mpeg 2 videos, though I've downloaded numerous .flv and .mp4 files from youtube. Some of these are HD resolution and nearly always have the problem.
A sort of workaround is to return from fullscreen before it reaches the end. Sometimes I use the http interface and send it a stop and it will also hang if in fullscreen. I can't actually recall if it ever happens when not in fullscreen.
Any ideas of why this happens? Has anyone else seen this behavior?
