Open (advanced) - Error: Your input can't be opened
Posted: 12 Oct 2012 03:06
Whenever I try to use the "Open (advanced) ..." feature of the VLC media player to "Play" a file on my computer, I get the following error message:
It should be noted that I can "Play" the files via Media>Open File... or via Media>Open Folder ..., but NOT via Open (advanced) ...
I would appreciate any help to get the "Open (advanced) ..." feature to work properly, as it is a more convenient way to play files.
Thanks in advance.
Current VLC Media Player: Version 2.0.2 Twoflower
My system: Dell Precision 380, 2 Gig RAM, Windows XP Pro, SP3.
Here is the message log for the error.
This feature used to work in the past, but I think it stopped working on my system as of version 2.xYour input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL ''. Check the log for details.
