Segmentation fault
I saw an updated version of VLC on AlienBob's web site, downloaded it, md5sum checked the file, and it segfaults on my system. I also installed the latest npapi-vlc and md5sum checked it.
I have a copy of 2.2.6, so I am going to upgradepkg back to that.
It appears that the Nvidia binary blob installation on my system removed some files belonging to package libvdpau-1.1.1-x86_64-1. Launching vlc-2.2.8 seg-faulted. Reinstalling the libvdpau package fixed the seg-fault.
