VLC 2.1.0 crashing

[cuser]

I tried to play flv-videos and mp4-videos but VLC kept crashing (reports sent to devs) and those vids worked fine in VLC 2.0.8, wmv-videos play just fine and webm too but other formats crash VLC.

nvm, uninstall and reinstall fixed that for now. still wondering what caused that.

wishful thinking, after comp was sleeping few hrs and when trying to open videofile with VLC 2.1.0 keepscrashing. I'll revert to 2.0.8 until dev team figures what causes crashes.

More info needed. What is your OS ? What is your CPU ?


Try another video output module:

And/or disable/enable GPU acceleration:

You can also try to enable or disable some video options such as Overlay and/or Hardware YUV -> RGB conversions.

Its related to HW acceleration as stated here https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=114095.

As per other users, I am seeking a solution to the VLC 2.1.0 program continually crashing.
I have been using VLC for a number of years without any problems. It's a great program.
Suddenly with the update to VLC 2.1.0 it won't work.
I am a Windows XP user.
I have downloaded and re-loaded VLC 2.1.0 several times in an effort to solve the problem.
I get the messages "Oops, VLC just crashed. Send bug report to development. team".
Then it tells me " Error transferring data to FTP server".

Come on chaps, get a bug fix out there ASAP.

I've tried VLC 2.1.1 as suggested by a recent thread.
VLC is still crashing. Why?

Can't be because hardware acceleration is not enabled on XP, it requires Vista or newer.
If you're using a 64-bit build of VLC then try with the 32-bit build.

I can enable HW Acceleration in XP64 and it worked fine in 2.0.x, I switched to 64bit VLC and nothing changed from 32bit, 32bit VLC kept crashing if played vids after awakening comp from sleep.

confirmed, same issue here.

Windows 7 Ultimate, and GeForce 7300 GT, if you enable HW Acceleration in VLC 2.1.0 it always crash when you try to play something, even if you change the setting to auto.

in previous version HW Acceleration was working fine.

Fixed in 2.1.1 and 2.1.2

Changing "skip H.264 in-loop deblocking filter" to ALL from NONE seems to work for me for now.
