Re: VLC Segfaulting.

Providing stacktrace information would be helpful. See coredumpctl tool that will let you it.

I don't see anything relevant there. I don't have gdb installed.

Re: VLC Segfaulting.

see this bug report :

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/42099

with vlc 2.1.5-3 some files can trigger a segfault ( flv, rmvb ),

but I don't have segfault with flac files,

you should install gdb in order to see what's going on on your installation about vlc

Re: VLC Segfaulting.

It looks like they've strlen()'d a NULL pointer.

edit: Should have read the bug report, it's the same stacktrace. Apologies.
