VLC crashes when trying to play videos
Posted: 25 Sep 2024 14:53
Hello everyone.
I hope someone can help me with this problem. I have been using VLC for years/centuries and now for some time, about half a year, VLC no longer works as expected. At first I ignored it, then looked at newer and later versions, then realized that I have the problem on both Macs.
This is my first forum post, so please forgive me if I missed something.
Hardware: MacBook Pro, Silicon, M2 Pro + Mac mini, Silicon, M1
VLC: Version 3.0.21 Vetinari (Apple Silicon)
Problem: Every time I try to play a file (video, picture, ) with VLC, the program crashes. If I just open VLC there is no problem.
Behavior: no matter on which device I try it same behavior also it doesn't matter if I open the video directly or open VLC first and then open the file via VLC.
Output:
I've tried:
- rebooting
- uninstalling & re-installing VLC, with full cleaning
- tried different versions
No change. The issue persists with the same output.
VLC can still play music files without any issue.
Videos play without any issue when using other media players.
