Launching VLC spins up secondary hard drive

Postby unknownsoldierx » 07 Dec 2011 20:02

When I launch VLC, I can hear one of my drive spin up. I can confirm that it happens every time I open VLC while the drive is powered down.

Using Process Monitor, the only thing that comes up is this:

vlc.exe

Operation: QueryOpen
Result: PATH NOT FOUND
Path: G:\Qt\4.7.2\qt-qt\plugins
Duration: 0.0000098

I would guess there is some assert data or similar in libqt4 which could be removed. I'll check this during weekend.

Confirmed
qt_plugpath=G:/Qt/4.7.2/qt-qt/plugins
is in libqt4_plugin.dll

EDIT:
Ticket is http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/5647
