64bit VLC

[funman]

Nightly Build of VLC should be back soon

[xasx]

I have Problems launching latest 64-bit nightly build:
- vlc-cache-gen crashes during installation.
- vlc does not start.

Is there anything I can do to resolve this or gather any information to help this being resolved?

Here's some data for the vlc-cache-gen crashes from the eventlog:

When I run VLC in VS2010 debugger I get an access violation exception:
Unhandled exception at 0x6a3ae281 in vlc.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0x0000000000000003.

Unfortunately even the debug builds do not contain any usable debugging information (maybe incompatible). But nevertheless here's the call stack:

Code: Select all

Finding which plugin is at fault, would help a lot.

[xasx]

If I rename the plugins folder to '_plugins' and create an empty new 'plugins' folder the exception slightly changes to:
Unhandled exception at 0x6982e281 in vlc.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0x0000000000000003.

Further changes in the address of the exception can be achieved if I repeat the renaming for other folders like skins, lua, locale.

Also, I did not modify my installation in any way. Just drop all the contents of vlc-1.3.0-git-*-debug.7z to a folder and run it from there, no other VLC installed.

[nkoriyama]

All Win64 binary vlc-1.3.0-git-* has been broken since the end of November. I already reported this issue to trac, and vlc-dev.

I build vlc-git with MinGW-w64 v2.0.1. VLC doesn't run, instantly finishes, same as Nightly builds.
I have three develop environments for building VLC for Windows : MinGW, MinGW-w64 64bit, MinGW-w64 32bit
Not only 64bit build but also 32bit build with MinGW-w64 has this problem.
Of course, 32bit build with MinGW has no problem.

Ah. Thanks for the information. And good to know. Until now I thought it would be related to my OS's configuration or such.

I build vlc-git with MinGW-w64 v2.0.1. VLC doesn't run, instantly finishes, same as Nightly builds.
I have three develop environments for building VLC for Windows : MinGW, MinGW-w64 64bit, MinGW-w64 32bit
Not only 64bit build but also 32bit build with MinGW-w64 has this problem.
Of course, 32bit build with MinGW has no problem.

So, if I understand correctly, the issue is related to the w64 version of MinGW. I will now have a look at the issue on trac for follwing this up.

Thank you.

Edit: Just for reference, I think it's this one: https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/5619

Hello

I have win7 sp1 64bit and have tested vlc 1.3.0 is not working !!!

Thanks for this info !!!

Just for reference, I think it's this one: https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/5619

[AMG]

Hello

Did you read last Trac comment by funman? He talks about string corruption and therefore some modules not being found which finally leads to VLC still not working.

https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/5619#comment:9

I think we have to wait for a working version till the new year.

Confirmed. many thanks

Let's hope all these MinGW32-64 issues can be fixed.

It is working only if you do not have input&codecs->Use GPU accelerated decoding checked.
So a 1080p movie is a bit choppy.

In comparison with the 32bit bit build it works correctly with GPU accelerated checked.

[MichaelMc]

Is there a latest branch (1.2) build of 64bit VLC? Nightly contains trunk only.

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

No, only trunk exists so far, because it is not stable yet.

[speciesx]

I try out the last build vlc-2.1.0-git-20120305-0403-win64.
The Firefox browser plugin still doesn't fully work (stream doesn't start) , and the Context menu also doesn't work.

[funman]

2.0.1 has been released for win64 !

[speciesx]

2.0.3 of win64 still not released!

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Use 2.0.2

[balasubramanya]

Is there any specific procedure for compiling Win64 build on windows 7? or can I use
http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileMSYSNew without any issues?

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Yes, you can, but change the host.

[balasubramanya]

Thanks Kempf for your reply.

Now I am getting following error during Win64 compilation.

Can any body help me out in fixing above errors? Thanks in advance.
