every time I try playing a streaming video source in WMV9 format, not sure about other formats, VLC crashes. I can play WMV9 videos by downloading them and playing from a file, but can'ta compare identical files doing this. I've tried playing streaming media using the vlc browser plugin and the standalone player, both crash in the same way. output from vlc: anthony@localhost /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins $ vlc -v2 'mms://wmscnn.stream.aol.com.edgestreams.net/cnn/world/2006/11/14/ware.iraq.kidnapping.ap.ws.wmv' VLC media player 0.8.5 Janus [00000001] main vlc debug: opening config file /home/anthony/.vlc/vlcrc [00000001] main vlc debug: checking builtin modules [00000001] main vlc debug: checking plugin modules [00000001] main vlc debug: loading plugins cache file /home/anthony/.vlc/cache/plugins-0404be.dat [00000001] main vlc debug: recursively browsing `modules' [00000001] main vlc debug: recursively browsing `/usr/lib/vlc' [00000001] main vlc debug: recursively browsing `plugins' [00000001] main vlc debug: module bank initialized, found 200 modules [00000001] main vlc debug: opening config file /home/anthony/.vlc/vlcrc [00000001] main vlc debug: CPU has capabilities FPU [00000001] main vlc debug: looking for memcpy module: 1 candidate [00000001] main vlc debug: using memcpy module "memcpy" [00000267] main playlist debug: waiting for thread completion [00000267] main playlist debug: thread 813880544 (playlist) created at priority 0 (playlist/playlist.c:184) [00000268] main private debug: waiting for thread completion [00000268] main private debug: thread 822269152 (preparser) created at priority 0 (playlist/playlist.c:210) [00000269] main interface debug: looking for interface module: 1 candidate [00000269] main interface debug: using interface module "hotkeys" [00000269] main interface debug: thread 830657760 (interface) created at priority 0 (interface/interface.c:231) [00000271] main interface debug: looking for interface module: 1 candidate [00000271] main interface debug: using interface module "screensaver" [00000271] main interface debug: thread 839046368 (interface) created at priority 0 (interface/interface.c:231) [00000267] main playlist debug: adding playlist item `mms://wmscnn.stream.aol.com.edgestreams.net/cnn/world/2006/11/14/ware.iraq.kidnapping.ap.ws.wmv' ( mms://wmscnn.stream.aol.com.edgestreams.net/cnn/world/2006/11/14/ware.iraq.kidnapping.ap.ws.wmv ) [00000273] main interface debug: looking for interface module: 5 candidates [00000273] main interface debug: using interface module "wxwidgets" [00000273] main interface debug: thread 847434976 (manager) created at priority 0 (interface/interface.c:216) [00000273] wxwidgets interface debug: Using last windows config '(-1,0,0,1024,768)(0,655,0,361,352)(6,0,0,-1,150)' [00000273] wxwidgets interface debug: id=0 p=(655,0) s=(361,352) [00000273] wxwidgets interface debug: id=6 p=(0,0) s=(-1,150) [00000267] main playlist debug: nothing requested, starting [00000267] main playlist debug: creating new input thread [00000276] main input debug: waiting for thread completion [00000276] main input debug: thread 862639328 (input) created at priority 0 (input/input.c:261) [00000276] main input debug: creating statistics handler [00000276] main input debug: `mms://wmscnn.stream.aol.com.edgestreams.net/cnn/world/2006/11/14/ware.iraq.kidnapping.ap.ws.wmv' gives access `mms' demux `' path `wmscnn.stream.aol.com.edgestreams.net/cnn/world/2006/11/14/ware.iraq.kidnapping.ap.ws.wmv' [00000276] main input debug: creating demux: access='mms' demux='' path='wmscnn.stream.aol.com.edgestreams.net/cnn/world/2006/11/14/ware.iraq.kidnapping.ap.ws.wmv' [00000278] main demuxer debug: looking for access_demux module: 0 candidates [00000278] main demuxer warning: no access_demux module matched "mms" [00000276] main input debug: creating access 'mms' path='wmscnn.stream.aol.com.edgestreams.net/cnn/world/2006/11/14/ware.iraq.kidnapping.ap.ws.wmv' [00000279] main access debug: looking for access2 module: 5 candidates [00000279] access_mms access debug: waiting for connection...

Please give a try to 0.8.6_rc1 and if it's still an issue report upstream.
(In reply to comment #1) > Please give a try to 0.8.6_rc1 and if it's still an issue report upstream. > it still crashes in 0.8.6_rc1. i don't know what you mean by report upstream (report in vlc bug database somewhere?)
