Today, I got an update for vlc using “zypper up”, and vlc is crashing with a segmentation fault.
I have the package from the packman repo, and I am using LEAP 42.2.
I would like to know if the updated package is defective, or if that is a configuration error in my machine.
Get all from packman note there is currently a 3.0 beta package there don’t mix

Like gogalthorpe indicates.
The crucial question, as in most cases here, is: did you do the “switch to Packman”? When you only installed one package (vlc) from Packman, it is still possible you have other packages, used by vlc, from e.g. the OSS repo.
zypper dup --from <the Packman repo>
where is to be replaced by the number of the Patckman repo in your repo list, or it’s Alias, or it’s Name. You can find this from
zypper lr -d
When you can not convince us for 100% that it is 1000% sure you did this switch, most of us will not look further into your problem.

Yes, I have this part done correctly.
I tried the zypper dup --from <packman> to double-check, and it said “nothing to do”.

Ok, thanks for confirming this.
Did you get the beta or mix those packages?

No, I don’t have the beta installed.

I’m having the same issue. VLC was working fine a few days ago (on leap 42.1, VLC from pacman). Did an update, and now it seg faults. I switched to the beta version and that one appears to be working.

Hmm, that’s weird, I switched to the beta, and I am still facing the same issue!
I also tried running
sudo /usr/lib64/vlc/vlc-cache-gen /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins
vlc --reset-config
Didn’t help either.
Maybe try removing ~/cache/vlc
Try a different user

Tried both suggestions… Still no luck
Video card/driver. Wild guessing now

I have Nvidia Geforce 770 GT, and using the proprietary driver. However, I don’t think it is a driver issue, as vlc used to work and the driver hasn’t changed since.

Actually, I double-checked the update history, and the nvidia driver was actually updated the day before vlc was updated. It is possible that the nvidia driver update was what triggered the problem.
How do I downgrade the driver? I have the nvidia repo, but I can only see the latest driver.
Do repos usually have multiple versions of the same package? And if so, how do I access them?
Otherwise, what is the easiest way to downgrade?
I have the same problem here with leap 42.1 since the latest VLC update.
I also have nvidia graphics (asus laptop with intel graphics chip and a Nvidia Geforce GTX 960 M, using prime-select to switch between intel and nvidia).
With nvidia working, vlc quits with segmentation fault (“Speicherzugriffsfehler”) immediately. After switching to intel VLC starts normally.
But using intel graphics there are other problems: only a cropped image is visible (in full size, as much as to fill window height) of my large-size mobile phone mp4 videos, and this also happens using another player (dragon player). Anyway, this intel chip on my laptop is too slow and large videos show pixelated parts and make short pauses, so I must use nvidia to watch videos.
Dragon player works normally with nvidia. But I prefer VLC. So if anybody found a solution, I’d love to hear about it

you havnt said which intel chip, but i had similar problem on skylake HiDpi, i had to ensure hardware decoding

Make sure that you don’t have libvdpau_va_gl1 installed.
This causes problems especially with the nvidia driver (as it redirects VDPAU, i.e. nvidia’s hardware decoding, to VA-API which isn’t supported by nvidia).
As you also have an intel chip, it’s likely installed by default, as it is needed for VDPAU support on intel.
OTOH, most players (and definitely VLC) support VA-API natively anyway, so you should be able to live without that.
Same problem here.
Since december that VLC won’t work.

It is very frustrating!
I’m about to give up on him and moving permanently to smplayer, which has functioned exceptionally better.
It was installed, I removed it using Yast, logged out and in, no change; rebooted, no change
I have now re-installed it, as I don’t know for what it is good or needed somewhere in the depths of the belly of my computer…
