MPV and VLC segfault (glibc problem?)

Hello,

When playing any videos, both mpv and vlc segfault. I've updated quite a lot of packages at once, so I'm not sure what could cause this. I've updated mesa, mpv, x264, nvidia (moved to nvidia-340xx) and glibc.

Actual error is the same:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Log output:
[32216.091021] mpv[1348]: segfault at 8 ip 00007fb53cede5b7 sp 00007fff4054ac40 error 4 in ld-2.20.so[7fb53ced3000+22000]
[32273.036485] vlc[1351]: segfault at 8 ip 00007f21f1c195b7 sp 00007fff80c6c990 error 4 in ld-2.20.so[7f21f1c0e000+22000]

Is that all you updated? ie, did you update your entire system?

Thanks for the advice. I did "pacman -Syu" several times with several different mirrors. There's a few packages from AUR, but nothing related to video, gpu or X apart from vdpauinfo.

Dunno about your issue, but as a related item, use reflector to select a current mirror to avoid out-of-sync problems.

% which upp
upp: aliased to reflector -c "United States" -a 1 -f 3 --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist && cat /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist && sudo pacman -Syyu

I was having segfaults with VLC, but updates today fixed the issue for me.
