Package: vlc
Version: 2.2.1-4+b1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Any video played causes VLC to crash.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Launching from file manager, ommand line, or media library any video file
crashes VLC on this up-to-date Debian testing system. I disabled VDPAU, window
decoration, accelerated video output - but there was no change.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Segmentation fault.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Video rendered.
After installing vlc-dbg, and runing
gdb --args vlc - /home/user/somefile.mp4
I got:
(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/bin/vlc - /home/user/somefile.mp4
