vlc not playing mp3's ...
Greetings,
When trying to play the music files in my Music directory with vlc, I get the following output:
[0x156ae08] dummy interface: using the dummy interface module...
libdvdnav: Using dvdnav version 5.0.0
libdvdread: Couldn't find device name.
libdvdread:DVDOpenFilePath:findDVDFile /VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.IFO failed
libdvdread:DVDOpenFilePath:findDVDFile /VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.BUP failed
libdvdread: Can't open file VIDEO_TS.IFO.
libdvdnav: vm: failed to read VIDEO_TS.IFO
[0x145d3b8] main playlist: stopping playback
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Searching online, it seems this is a bug with libdvdread, at least that's what I read. But honestly, I'm not sure.
By the way, I only have audio files in my music directory (e.g. mp3, m4a, ogg)
Help please.

Re: vlc not playing mp3's ...
Why is it using dummy output? Check your audio setting in vlc, try alsa or pulseaudio, whatever you have.

This is the command I am using:
cvlc -Z /path/to/Music/directory
I'm using it in a python program, calling it as a subprocess. I didn't want the actual player to show, hence cvlc.

Ok, I'm getting the same errors when using cvlc except Segmentation fault and the audio still plays anyways even though it says that it stopped playing.

Re: vlc not playing mp3's ...
So I think this is a good thing? If it works for you, then I must be missing something. I checked and the vlc depencies are up to date, as well as vlc itself.
I tried both work arounds as stated on the vlc arch wiki. I am also using vlc as the video player in youtube-viewer. I choose several videos and it's happened a few times (between five and ten times) where vlc crashes. I'll record the output next time. The point of bringing this up is that it makes it very likely that vlc is the problem.
