In advanced preferences, I set "Input/Codecs" -> "Track Settings" - > "Subtitle track" to -1 and "Subtitle track ID" to -1. As I watch a lot of anime, these are convenient settings to have subtitle default to on. However this is causing VLC to crash when I open other videos without subtitles (which I'm not allowed to post in part or in full, for work reasons... I asked). Could someone look into this, please, so I'm not stuck using an older version of VLC? Thank you.
The weirdness:
- Nightlies before 2.1.0-RC2 - crashes (early September)
- 2.1.0-RC2 - Works perfectly <- This is what I'm stuck using now.
- Release version 2.1.0 - crashes
- Nightlies of 2.1.1 - still crashing as of today
