Hi all... After a recent upgrade this week on a box running Debian stretch/testing the VLC media player continues to successfully play audio MP3 files but crashes trying to play video files with the message: "Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_i965.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Segmentation fault" VDPAU packages installed and their versions: ii libvdpau-va-gl1:amd64 0.3.4-3 ii libvdpau1:amd64 1.1.1-2 ii mesa-vdpau-drivers:amd64 11.0.2-1 ii vdpau-driver-all:amd64 1.1.1-2 ii vdpau-va-driver:amd64 0.7.4-4 No updates are pending. Any ideas about how to fix this would be much appreciated! -- (o< .: Per curiositas ad astra .: http://www.circuidipity.com (/)_

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=801457 The reporter "removed the vdpau libraries". I would un-install the vdpau packages instead. Hopefully the CPU can handle the video decoding. -- Tom Low-Shang 416 857 7013 Jabber tomlowshang@gmail.com

Thanks for the link... I tried removing the libraries as suggested and VLC crashes with segmentation fault. Re-installed the libraries and VLC generates a segmentation fault for everything... simply opening and closing the program generates a fault. I tried changing the video output in VLC preferences from 'automatic' to a few different settings and it crashes over everything. Hmm.... I installed smplayer and it plays video files OK.

Turns out I was bitten by this bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=802811 Removing libqt5x11extras5 (5.5.1-2) and replacing it with (5.4.2-2+b1) retrieved from: snapshot.debian.org/package/qtx11extras-opensource-src/5.4.2-2/#libqt5x11extras5_5.4.2-2:2b:b1 ... fixed the issue with VLC.
