VLC closes after playing. Using Arch 64 bits.

csat · 2009-02-20 20:15:59

Hi.

I am using Arch Linux 2009.2 64 bits version and VLC 0.9.8a. My current settings to VLC is "Video Preferences Output" assigned to X11 Video Output.

VLC shuts down after starting playing a stream right after brings up sound and video. Is there any suggestion to prevent such annoyed situation?

Thank you.

vlc --reset-config?

Dear mrunion

Thank you for your message. Running vlc --reset-config turned vlc into "factory default". I run vlc from a terminal and got the following:

$ vlc

Some stations showed their video and played audio. Some others made vlc to crash saying "segmentation fault" error message.

Well, I run vlc as normal user, not root nor with sudo.

Thanks.

Well, thanks again. Unfortunately no luck so far. Deleting ~/.config/vlc or vlc --reset-config didn't make any difference. Considering that this bug has been already placed to bug report, I think, for while I will see smplayer.

Thanks.
