Applying Skin Causes Crash

Postby Yattaro » 17 Jun 2015 07:25

As of today, I am attempting to create my first skin and have just compiled it in a *.vlt file. When I select the skin in VLC and launch it as such, VLC crashes. What could be the cause of this? Could it be that I have way too many images? I do plan on using more of them, but in the meantime, I left them there as a reference in case I do.

I have uploaded the skin, crashdump, and source files here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1b3m0mptn9l08 ... h.zip?dl=1

two problems seen

#1: the only valid name for the skin description file is theme.xml (Persona4_Style.xml is not a valid name !)

#2: check the slider with id="Unnamed Slider #33". The image cannot be set to "none" in this context. A valid image has to be provided. Otherwise, skins2 crashes (which is a bug as it should gracefully tell where the problem lies)

Once you fix these two issues, the skin should show up (tested sucessfully on Linux)
