Crashing in Release Mode and error encounter in Debug Mode

Question

Its my first question on stack overflow, so please answer me.

I am using libvlc library 2.1.5win64 for window 7 with Qt 4.8.5, C++ and Cmake 2.8 to build a project that capture a streaming video from VLC server in rtsp protocol. I am facing two problems very badly.

1: My program is bulding .exe file in Release mode but it crash when we open(double click) this .exe file, while it is working correctly in debug mode.

2: My program is not working in debug mode also, when I open .exe file it shown a widget but video is not streaming

it encounters a error

[0000000001c96b20] main input error: open of 'rtsp"//192.168.1.101:8554/' failed 

[0000000001bcce90] main input error: your input can't be opened
[0000000001bcce90] main input error: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'rtsp://192.168.1.101:8554/'. check the log for details.

Please somebody anserw my question..............

I am also providing my source code with cmakelist............

If possible please edit my code because i am new on Qt,Cmake,LibVlc

libvlc.lib from vlc distribution was always broken for use with release Visual Studio builds. To solve this issue you have 3 options:

• Use /OPT:NOREF linker option for release build;
• Generate libvlc.lib from libvlc.dll with Visual Studio's command line tools (with help of Videolan Wiki );
• Use prebuild libvlc.lib from my libvlc.lib generation project on Google Code or from my libvlc sdk on GitHub ;

And to find out what is wrong with video deconding, you could pass "-vvv" (option to activate full debug log) to libvlc_new
