vhs freezes when i try to load a file about vhs

[aarol]

The issue seems to be that ttyd fails to start properly (crashes) on Windows 11, which results in vhs freezing before anything can be recorded.

The fix for me was to downgrade ttyd from 1.7.4 to 1.7.3 per this issue.

I get the same -- it happens as soon as you attempt to issue any keys. I've tried with various of Type | Enter | Up | Down , the only way out is to kill the process.

> vhs --version
vhs version v0.7.1 (537d03a)

> systeminfo | findstr /B /C:"OS Name" /B /C:"OS Version"
OS Name:                   Microsoft Windows 11 Home
OS Version:                10.0.22631 N/A Build 22631

Thank you so much for the bug reports! It seems there is an issue on Windows, I will try and debug.

I have the same problem on Windows 11 in cmd.

I have the same issue. I tried to remove all the lines in the .tape file one by one until something changes. Eventually all that left was a single Output aa.gif line and it still freezes.

Windows 11, PowerShell v7.4.1
