[not our bug] MG kills VLC Mediaplayer
« on: 5 November 2012, 00:02:26 »
Not shure which programs fault.  When MG is active window, vlc media player stops working / crashes. I had this working fine before but I can't say wheather mg or vlc is causing the error.

UPDATE: Only happens when playing a video in VLC.

MG-Version: 3.7.0 Beta 2 + SVN
VLC- Version: 2.0.4 (also tested with 2.0.3)
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.120830-0333)

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2700K CPU @ 3.50GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.5GHz

Work arround take libvlc.dll and libvlccore.dll from your VLC folder and copy it to your MG folder.

I am making this is not a bug as its really not in our control. To be clear the problem arises when you run different versions of libvlc (the one with megaglest  and vlc) simultaneously. Both can run fine on their own. I assume libvlc uses some kind of shared memory or something like that which is causing the problem.

or its simply another gfx driver bug which has problems with all the active modes showing videos and 3d applications ...

I don't think so as it works when the .dll's are identical + it work's with other mediaplayers (e.g. Flashplayer of YouTube)
