Unable to play video of files that worked just fine yesterday in latest update

[larsdelamars]

Hello, new member here!

So, my VLC crashed multiple times the other day. Updated to newest version and then it happened. An avi file i have watched multiple times was now ONLY playing Audio and NO VIDEO. Certain other videos (avi) worked, others didn't as well. Other files like mkv or mp4 worked fine.
Tonight, i found yet another available update, so i did that too, restarted the computer but still the same. I even got the video from my external hard disk, just in case it was damaged but exactly the same. ONLY Audio, NO video.

I have no idea what to do, this is really weird, as i said other avi files do play, others do not. I think the majority of my videos do work, but still, quite a few just don't work anymore.


Anyone have that happen to you? My version 3.0.7. updated a few hours ago.

Would really like to know what is going on here....hope it's nothing severe.

Thank you

would it be possible to send us a sample of the nonworking media file? You can upload it to http://streams.videolan.org/upload/, and give the file name here.

Hi, i just uploaded to the address you posted.
File is called: KenFM im Gespräch mit Dirk Pohlmann (Täuschung - die Methode Reagan)

i also described the basic issues.
Hope that is okay.
Thank you very much!

Hello?
Anything? Did you receive the upload? It still does it under the latest version as well. Please help!
Thank you

I can't find your uploaded sample. Did you provide a ticket number on upload? If not, please try again without one. To make extra sure the upload succeeds, please remove umlauts and spaces from the file name.

Hi, i uploaded again, again no ticket number and the file is now called "KenFM im Gespraech-mit Dirk Pohlmann" withoout any Umlauts or spaces.

Hope you can find it and help, it's really bad not having a working media player....

thank you

Hello? Lovely VLC people? I need your HELP!

[larsdelamars]

Hello? Please guys.....i could really need your help here! Might changing back to a previous version fix the issue? I don't know what to do.

PLEASE HELP!

Thank you!

Sorry guys, but even with the new update, although i thought it was better, still certain files that worked just fine two updates ago, or three, whenever i wrote to you first, before that, every file worked flawlessly. Now it just says the title of the file in the small window and it just plays the audio.


Sorry to bother you, but i'm sure you want to know, no?

thanks
