[BigBox crash while sitting idle doing attract mode]

We do use VLC for music playback even when not using it for videos. It seems like somehow VLC is just not working properly on the machine. Do you have any music in your collection at all?

 I don’t use the music feature, no. I just installed VLC stand-alone on the machine (although I’m sure that will have nothing to do with it)

Well, at least we know the source of the error in that case (VLC's plugin there). Can you try switching your video playback engine to Windows Media Player in your Big Box settings to see if that resolves the crash for you?

This is the first time I'm hearing about that in particular. Who knows though, maybe it's a lead for MrSco as well.

I changed it to WMP and it crashed again overnight, showing VLC again as the faulting module... strange.

I'm getting Faulting module path: F:\LaunchBox\ThirdParty\VLC\x64\plugins\video_chroma\libswscale_plugin.dll crashes every few hours running idle in attract mode with BigBox.  This has been happening for months.
