What are libjpeg_plugin.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library libjpeg_plugin.dll Errors

libjpeg_plugin.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like libjpeg_plugin.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like OneDriveSetup.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. VLC Media Player) could share the same libjpeg_plugin.dll file, saving valuable memory allocation, therefore making your computer run more efficiently.

Unfortunately, what makes DLL files so convenient and efficient, also makes them extremely vulnerable to problems. If something happens to a shared DLL file, either it goes missing or gets corrupted in some way, it can generate a "runtime" error message. Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these errors are triggered when libjpeg_plugin.dll is attempted to be loaded either when VLC Media Player is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common libjpeg_plugin.dll errors include:

Your libjpeg_plugin.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with VLC Media Player), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, libjpeg_plugin.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading VLC Media Player, system crash while loading libjpeg_plugin.dll, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or quite commonly, a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

  5. After the update is completed, restart your PC.

If Those Steps Fail: Download and Replace Your libjpeg_plugin.dll File (Caution: Advanced)

Download libjpeg_plugin.dll Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying libjpeg_plugin.dll to your appropriate Windows system directory. VideoLAN typically does not release VLC Media Player DLL files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing libjpeg_plugin.dll and all other DLL files for VLC Media Player. An incorrectly installed DLL file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
