2.2 Crash if multiselect files

[Azunai]

OS: 8.1 64
CPU FX 8350
GPU GTX 770

If i select multiple files on windows explorer and click " play in vlc" i get 1 error message per file selected, but it also plays the videos in an d3d output window


As soon as i click "ok" on one of those errors, vlc crashes
VLC works totaly fine if i start it and then add multiple videos to the playlist in the same way
Worked fine before i updated to 2.2

Let me know if you need any further information :S

Me also. I've loaded latest version of VLC onto three different windows PCs and same problem each time. When I select multiple video files in a windows explorer window and hit enter (defaulted to player files using VLC), I get the same error message as original poster.

I have to revert back to older version of VLC player as workaround until there's a fix.

Help!!!

I FIXED (I THINK). IS VERY SIMPLE. GO TO ''TOOLS'' ABOVE, THEN ''PREFERENCES'', AND IN ''INTERFACE'' (YOU ARE THERE) LOOK DOWN FOR THE SECTION CALLED ''REPRODUCTION LIST AND INSTANCES'' AND THERE MAKE CLICK IN ALL THE OPTIONS LESS IN ''PAUSE REPRODUCTION WHEN MINIMIZED''
ES MÁGICO!!!!!!!!!!ES MÁGICOOOOOOO. I FIXED, IM A GENIUS, IM A --please stay polite-- NERD, BILL GATES WILL CONTRACT ME, MY NAME IS ALFREDO SABAGNI IM FROM ROSARIO, ARGENTINA.
WEEEEEE ARE THE CHAMPIONSSSSSSS!!!!!

Hello:

I have this problem too on W8.1 x64, whether I install VLC 2.2.1 x63 or x32.

Where is ''REPRODUCTION LIST AND INSTANCES'' ?????

I went "Preferences" then to the "All" view radio button, then to "Interface".

My only options are Control Interfaces (Audioscrobbler, Gestures, NT Service), Hotkeys Settings, and Main interfaces (Lua, Qt, RC, Skins).

I do not have any ''REPRODUCTION LIST AND INSTANCES'' option, but I would really like to fix this issue.

VLC plays fine if I right-click on just one file to play it.

But if I first select multiple files and then right-click on them to play them all, I get a bunch of those Microsoft VC++ runtime termination request error message boxes that pop up.

Thanks.

I just want to add 'me too'.
I can select multiple files one-at-a-time (and build an ad-hoc play-list) but doing so all at once, the media starts to play, but I also get a popup error similar to the above, and acknowledging the error then causes the app to crash.

YOU MUST DO WHAT I SAID, I FIXED.

GO TO: TOOLS/PREFERENCES/INTERFACE

AND THERE YOU HAVE A LOT OF OPTIONS TO CLICK, AND THEY ARE ORDERED BY SEGMENT, THE FIRST IS FOR LANGUAGE, ETC. AND THE SEGMENT I SAID IS THE THIRD ONE. IM FROM ARGENTINA SO I HAVE THE SPANISH VERSION AND THE TRADUCCION MAY BE NOT EXACT, BUT A REPRODUCTION LIST IS THAT THING, YOU MUST UNDERSTAND. AND REPEAT, IS THE THIRD SEGMENT IN ''INTERFACE''. YOU MUST TO CLICK AFFIRMATIVE TO ALL THE OPTIONS LESS THE LAST ONE. ¿OK???? IT WORKED TO ME, AND I THINK THAT I DIDNT MAKE ANOTHER MODIFICATION.

PERHAPS YOU MUST UNINSTALL AND INSTALL THE NEWEST VERSION IN PURE, AND NOT LIKE A MODERNIZATION.

MARC THE PROCESS I TEACHED TO THE ENTIRE WORLD IS UNTIL THE VLC IS REPRODUCING SOMETHING AND YOU ARE VIEWING THE SCREEN WITH ALL THE OPTIONS, THAT SCREEN IS THE DEFAULT, I THINK. ABOVE YOU HAVE THE ''TOOLS'', THEN FOLLOW YOUR LEADER, THATS ME.

PD: NOT RADIO BUTTON, RADIO BUTTON NOT NOT AND NOT. NO A LAS OPCIONES DE RADIO NI AUDIO NI VIDEO, NI NADA, ONLY TOOLS/PREFERENCES/INTERFACE

This is the screen you're talking about, in English.



What you're saying is that under 'Playlist and Instances' you must have the following items ticked:
Allow only one instance
use only one instance when started from file manager
display playlist tree
enqueue items into playlist in one instance mode

but not necessarily tick 'pause on last frame of a video'

?

(screenshot also shows my current selected options, which were fine until the last update)
