Bug Description

Binary package hint: vlc

I usually drag a folder containing mp3s into vlc's main window in order to add them to the playlist, while starting to play the first file of the folder straight away.
 In some cases, vlc crashes wihout any error message.

 Hi there!

Thanks for reporting this bug! Your bug seems to be a problem with the KDE program itself, and not with our KDE packages. While we appreciate your issue, it would be better if it was tracked at https://bugs.kde.org, so that the KDE developers can deal with this speedily and have direct communication with you as the reporter for more effective debugging.

Thanks!
