VLC for iOS - 2.2.2 - Crash after opening Local Network Tab

Postby JCBird1012 » 09 Feb 2014 00:11

Upon opening the Local Network Tab in VLC 2.2.2, the app subsequently crashes. It's quite unfortunate actually. This has been occurring since 2.2.0 (I think)... It hasn't been fixed in 2.2.1 and obviously 2.2.2.
After sending countless in-app reports (I send one every time is crashes :mrgreen: ) I haven't seen this fixed.

I wanted to just get developer feedback on this issue, and make them aware.

Best regards,
Jonathan

Are you using iOS 6?

I apologize for not including more specifics in my first post.
I have this issue on an iPhone 5S and iPad Mini (non-retina) both running iOS 7.0.4.

ehm, ok, that's unexpected. Do you know which kind of devices you have available on your local network? Is there any with a non-ASCII name?

So, let me just give you a general rundown of my home network really quick.

I have a WRT54GS running DD-WRT (if that matters)..

At any given time on my network there is...

Two iPhones
An iPad
An iPod Touch
An Xbox 360
5 Laptops (connected wirelessly)
2 desktops (hard-wired ethernet)
A DLNA Blu-Ray Player.

And there's more.. But they access the network very infrequently.

Now I've streamed content using UPnP before (so, I know it's not an issue with that)..
And most of the network devices can see each other (network discovery isn't an issue)..

And they're aren't any devices (that I know of) with non ASCII characters in their name... The naming convention in my house is pretty simple (Downstairs Desktop, Laptop, etc...)

Ah, debugging... A developer's greatest challenge.

I'm glad you found the crash!
Hopefully, it'll be fixed next release. :wink:

Anyways, thanks for all of this!
It just bugged (no pun intended) me to see VLC crash like that.
