Reply To: Youtube Video Causes Crash

[admin]

Thanks for reporting this — and thanks for leaving crash reporting on, because that’s what let us find it.

The crash comes from the built-in browser engine that plays YouTube. It was running with GPU hardware acceleration, and on some Intel graphics (your crash report shows an Intel HD Graphics with an older driver) that part of the browser can fail and take the whole program down with it. It was supposed to be switched off already, but a setting was stored in the wrong place, so it stayed on. The “audio but black screen” you saw is very likely the same cause.

This is fixed in the next update: hardware acceleration for the browser will be off on every installation. After updating, restart the program once more and it’s in effect.
Version 1.1.7 will be available later this week.

If you run into it again after the update, just let us know here — the crash report will tell us the rest.

Greetings, Frank
