VLC crashes while being used with NVIDIA "Dual-View"

[tesat]

Hello,

my settings make vlc play the second audio line by default.

I watch movie A with audio1 on my TV Screen via S-Video and "Dual View". I set audio1 up manually before starting to watch. In my playlist is movie B which I watch with audio2. By ending the first movie VLC crashes. I can't think of any other reason since it doesn't crash when I watch movies with the same audio line.

I hope I could describe it good enough.

Best regards
tesat

Can you always replicate this crash? If so, do you know how to use gdb?

[tesat]

No, i can't. And I don't know what gdb is. If you tell me I am willing to help.

[VLC_help]

GDB is a debugger which can find the crashing code section. If we cannot replicate the crash, the GDB is about the only thing that can give us some clue what is happening.

[tesat]

Well, then explain what I have to do to help. Where do I find this debugger and what shall I do with it exactly.

you basically need to install mingw (http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Getting_Started) (the GUI installer installs gdb by default)

start your mingw "bash" then run this in it (with vlc.exe in the path, or after $ cd /c/Program Files/VideoLan/VLC)

$ gdb.exe vlc.exe
then
(gdb:1) run <insert your parameters here>

It will die soon, then you type in
(gdb:2) backtrace

and it will show you where it died. Which may or may not be useful.

And if you try that, use VLC debug builds. They provide more info.
