Package: vlc
Version: 2.1.2-2+b3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
VLC segfaults when I try to open some specifivc mkv files.
Not all mkv files pose problem (for examples the test files in
http://www.auby.no/files/video_tests/ play OK) and the problematic files are
read correctly with other players such as mplayer.
I can provide a sample of the related files if needed.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I tried to open the file from the command line :
vlc Battlestar_Galactica_-_S01E01.mkv
and it immediately segfaults.
I can also launch vlc with the default interface and try to open the file. It
segfaults too.
I tried to delete .config/vlc and .cache/vlc, it did not help.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Here is the output with the -vvv flag:
22:50 endy at lanfear ~/media/torrents/Battlestar.Galactica.Season.1% vlc -vvv
Battlestar_Galactica_-_S01E01.mkv

dmesg also yields the following error message that would hint that the problem
is in libfilesystem_plugin.so :
[14966.509486] vlc[11814]: segfault at 7f9717fe7fc8 ip 00007f9718af157b sp

* What outcome did you expect instead?
The file playing correctly :)
