VLC Module error (yellow instead of green)

[NEO207]

Hello community, I updated my VLC Player and copied the folder to my hyperspin drive just to overwrite my old VLC.

Now, starting a video from Hyperspin works but I keep getting an error and my screen switches back to hyperspin, while the video is still playing in the background.

furthermore, i noticed that the VLC module isn`t showing up in green like other modules in Rocket Launcher UI, so I am sure that something is wrong with the module or my vlc update is "too new" for this old module.

I hope that you can help me out. thanks!

(Please have a look at the pictures, thanks)

Yellow just means youre using an unofficial module without any crc info. It wont affect anything.

Thanks Hitman, but any idea why VLC quits with this error message?

really no idea what the error is telling me? I mean I tried the portable version of VLC and still get the same error. Videos work for around 30-40 sec and then I get this error (see picture)

thank you. I`ll wait for a working one. regards

If memory serves from when I wrote a VLC module a long time ago VLC puts the name of the file in the title bar which is why RL cant find the window title you have set. So you need to omit the "VLC" part of the window title and just use the class.

I can post a working one later when I get home if you cant figure it out.

Ha! I deleted the following lines and the error is gone (But... )

 

 WinWait("VLC ahk_class QWidget")
 WinWaitActive("VLC ahk_class QWidget")

WinClose("VLC ahk_class QWidget")

The new problem is: ESC doesn`t work to exit the emulator (VLC). ESC now switches Fullscreen to Windowed.

Do I have to add something in the module or is it probably something to edit in Rocket Launcher UI or in VLC itself?

Thanks again

Can you leave a link here to the module file that you are going to create? Thanks in advance. Regards

I put this together quickly. It's barebones but should work. I don't use VLC from RLUI in my setup so I'm not sure if there are any essential options that should be added.

VLC.zip

Thanks for your efforts but mine works now as I deleted some lines and yours gives me the same error. But I still can`t close VLC via ESC anymore... I'll find that out somehow.

You can't close it because you deleted the line in the module that closes it. I tested mine on 2 machines and it worked fine so if you're getting an error with mine I'm not sure what could cause it as there's nothing to the module, it's basic as it gets. Unless you're using some weird build of VLC or something.

ok thanks for that info. I am using the latest VLC 3.0.1 portable at the moment. And without the lines containing "qwidget" there is no error ...

Try changing "QWidget" to "Qt5QWindowIcon" in my module and see if that gets rid of the fade error.

You are a genius! Even the ESC-button works to exit VLC now!

But as I am someone who wants to understand what he is doing/changing... do you have a short explanation why "QWidget" causes problems while "Qt5QWindowIcon" does not?

That could probably help solute other problems in the future or maybe help others, too.
