I encountered the same symptom a few months ago, it was transient. Today, a crash occurs every time I attempt to take a snapshot. % grep vlc /var/log/messages Nov 28 04:48:39 mowa219-gjp4-8570p-freebsd kernel: pid 5030 (vlc), jid 0, uid 1002: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) Nov 28 04:51:55 mowa219-gjp4-8570p-freebsd kernel: pid 5231 (vlc), jid 0, uid 1002: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) Nov 28 04:53:48 mowa219-gjp4-8570p-freebsd kernel: pid 5400 (vlc), jid 0, uid 1002: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) % pkg info -x vlc vlc-3.0.16_7,4 % date ; uptime ; uname -aKU Sun 28 Nov 2021 04:56:26 GMT 4:56a.m. up 47 mins, 8 users, load averages: 0.99, 1.62, 2.08 FreeBSD mowa219-gjp4-8570p-freebsd 14.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT #115 main-n250650-ef396441ceb: Sat Nov 13 23:52:09 GMT 2021 root@mowa219-gjp4-8570p-freebsd:/usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/GENERIC-NODEBUG amd64 1400041 1400041 % I have a vlc.core file (246.4 MiB) but don't know how to parse it for bug report purposes.
Moin moin I cannot reproduce this here. Looking at google, this is however something that has already been reported elsewhere for the past few years. mfg Tobias
At one time, I gained the impression that this bug was intermittent. Not consistently reproducible. (In reply to Tobias C. Berner from comment #1) Thanks. Without me seeking a bug report upstream: I can't produce a crash at the time of writing. Maybe it's fixed upstream.
