I'm seeing this crash under Wily and was redirected here by apport. I could narrow the cause down to the following config option in my ~/.config/vlc/vlcrc:
avcodec-hw=vaapi_x11 If I comment out this option or set it to a another value, the crash does not happen and playback works fine. Here are the steps to reproduce this in a clean guest session: 1. Start VLC 2. Select "Tools -> Preferences -> Show settings: "All" -> Input / Codec -> Video Codecs -> ffmpeg -> Hardware decoding -> VA-API video decoder via X11" 3. Close VLC 4. Download the following example video: http://medien.wdr.de/m/1444056885/menschenhautnah/wdr_fernsehen_menschen_hautnah_20151008.mp4 5. Try to play it with VLC. It will crash immediately. This seems to happen only with MP4 videos encoded in a certain way, because most of the MP4 files I have tested do not crash with this setting.
