Comment 8 for bug 1871949

This issue only happens with some of my video files and the issue seems to be with VLC's "Hardware-acclerated decoding" setting. When that is set to either Automatic or VDPAU, those files always cause VLC to need to be killed. When set to Disabled or either of the VAAPI, VLC behaves correctly.

At this point, I'm not sure how to debug further. I can't get VLC to emit any useful messages. Some of the docs for other distros is saying VDPAU only works well with NVIDIA hardware. I don't have any, so I might purge those packages if they cause other problems.
