thunder.scripts Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Is there any common reason why VLC may crash randomly? (specs in my signature) My installation works almost perfectly, the only thing that crashes is VLC, once in a while (I've also had one or two kernel panics when I had very intense HD activity, I think it may be related to MacFuse). So, any ideas? Thanks! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/42570-1048-vlc-random-crashes/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 i use 10.4.8 and my vlc does this all the time, sometimes itunes does but not as often, i just stop trying to watch stuff for a while after this happens since theres no reason for it breaking Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/42570-1048-vlc-random-crashes/#findComment-308386 Share on other sites More sharing options...

lord_muad_dib Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 download the latest nightly build (branch) a lot of bugs are addressed, no more crashes so far Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/42570-1048-vlc-random-crashes/#findComment-321873 Share on other sites More sharing options...
insmac Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I'll give it a try, too. VLC works for me, but it's unstable when it comes to OSD menu and navigation. Does anybody know a player other than VLC with H264 and *.MKV files playback support?

hecker Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 You can also try Chroma. It's an excellent player and really slick. hecker Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/42570-1048-vlc-random-crashes/#findComment-321933 Share on other sites More sharing options...
