Playback of more than 4-5 MIDI files crashes VLC

Postby Monospace » 27 Oct 2021 16:24

I have VLC configured as the default MIDI player on my computer. Thus, double-clicking a MIDI file will play it in VLC.
When I open more than five MIDI files (or run the same MIDI file more than five times), VLC crashes.
Versions: 3.0.11; 3.0.16
How do I fix this? Is this specific to me or can someone else replicate it?
Couldn't find another instance of similar behaviour anywhere else.
Thanks!

Reset preferences and then check whether the problem is resolved or not: https://wiki.videolan.org/VSG:ResetPrefs
