VLC crashing every time

[asoksevil]

Don't really know what I messed up but not even stable versions like 2.1.4 or 2.1.5 seem to do it for me. Any file played on VLC will make it crash.

Since crash report is too long to be posted, here's the pastebin link:

Edit.

Just figured out it was because I switched from default hardware acceleration to "Vide Decode Framework Acceleration". Does that mean that my nVIDIA 320M (2010 MacBook Air) does not qualify for hardware decoding?

The crash is indeed in the hardware acceleration module when transfering decoded data from the hardware to the screen.

Can you try a 2.2.0 nightly build to see if the problem is resolved? http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/mac ... l/?C=M;O=D

I just tried vlc-2.2.0-x86_64-20140824-0313.zip and it seems to be fixed.

I also noticed that there was an optimization in CPU Usage. With the latest stable version 2.1.5 it was around 40% and with 2.2.0 it was less than 30. It could be that the VDA was not properly set up on 2.1.5.

We improved VDA quite a bit for 2.2. Great to hear that it works for you now!
