VLC Crash & No Progress Bar

[chris_au]

Hi

First of all, thank you to all the developers of VLC I have been using it for a number of years and much appreciate your hard work put into it.

Unfortunately I have recently come across a problem which I cannot find a solution for anywhere, so this is my last resort to ask on the forum.

I initially had version 1.0.9 and all was working fine, until recently it stopped working and by 'stop working', i mean the .mkv file still plays, however there is no progress bar.
I cannot skip forward to any part of the movie apart from pressing Fast Forward.
Then, whenever I try select a menu option (i.e. Tools, or Help) at the top, it crashes / closes VLC with no reason given.

This also occurs upon multiple reinstalls and trying 1.1.1 doesnt help either.

I hope you can help, let me know if I can provide any more information.

thank you in advance.
