====== Troubleshooting ======

If you encounter any problem I'd like to know. Here are some things you can try yourself if you prefer.

===== Switching decoder =====

By default vcs uses FFmpeg to process the video. If it fails, MPlayer might work better.
\\
Use ''-M'' to try using MPlayer.
\\
Use ''-F'' to try using FFmpeg (this is the default, running without arguments is the same).

The only exception to this is the DVD or ISO mode, which can only work with MPlayer.

===== Displaying errors =====

By default error output is suppressed when calling FFmpeg or MPlayer.
\\
Player errors can be displayed by overriding ''stderr'' and/or ''stdout'':
\\
  $ vcs -O stderr=/dev/stderr -O stdout=/dev/stdout [options] file.avi
Will display errors on the same console you're running ''vcs''.
\\ \\
  $ vcs -O stderr=stderr.txt [options] file.avi
Will save error output to stderr.txt
