VLC crashed when trying to play Video

[afriza]

Hello, I'm trying to play video on my Ubuntu 18.04 virtual machine under VirtualBox using apt-get's VLC and I get the following error:

Code: Select all

$ vlc video.mp4 VLC media player 3.0.4 Vetinari (revision 3.0.4-0-gf615db6332) [0000563941115630] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface. libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate Segmentation fault (core dumped)

and

Code: Select all

$ lspci |grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH VirtualBox Graphics Adapter $ vainfo libva info: VA-API version 1.1.0 libva info: va_getDriverName() returns -1 libva error: va_getDriverName() failed with unknown libva error,driver_name=(null) vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit $ vdpauinfo display: :0 screen: 0 Error creating VDPAU device: 23

somehow it's incorrectly trying to use libvdpau_nvidia.so

The VDPAU error is a well-known and totally harmless limitation in libvdpau. That is probably not what is crashing.

I have the same issue : using the x11 output is a workaround :

Code: Select all

vlc -V x11 video.mp4
