VLC continues to be riddled with crashes in the menus, because of a bug in how they use A List, that is almost 10 years old.
The only way I can make sense of it, is that they must build VLC against a modified Qt distribution, or something they just never update.
I've totally switched to SMPlayer and MPV.

- DiseasedBadger 7y agoI'd have to install it again to reproduce it, but I believe there are several menus that don't expect certain things to be empty. I think one triggers when selecting "Open Capture Device". There is a closed bug report for this, that was closed I think as unable to reproduce. Years old. I'll see if I can get back to exactly what it was.
- kakuri 7y agoI used VLC for many years without issue, but eventually it became unstable on my system and then wouldn't even launch, even after a fresh re-install. So to share something with others who may be looking for an alternative, MPC-BE with madVR and LAV audio decoder is amazing. I had some issues with MPC-BE out of the box: video tearing and muffled dialog during movies. madVR improves video rendering performance and LAV audio improves audio decoding.
