recently, when using VLC Player 1.1.11 on my Windows XP SP2 machine, and playing a Youtube video, it crashes.
I simply paste the URL for the Youtube video (for instance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8X_4O7ilniI ) in the Open network stream... dialog box of VLC (which has been a feature for some time now IIRC), and next thing, VLC simply disappears. When I open up VLC again, it wants to send an error report.
- I've experienced similar crashes in the past when trying to play compact discs, but usually, after trying a few times, it would stop crashing. Not so with the Youtube videos, unfortunately.
- I just tried downgrading to 1.1.10, and it won't recognise the input's format. Could this be due to a change at YouTube's end?
- I haven't tried resetting my preferences, because I'm not sure how to back-up my current preferences. I would appreciate any suggestions.
