vlc segfault after upgrade to slackware 15 aplha 1

Greetings!

Not exactly sure what package triggered this issue, but vlc is segfaulting on me about 3 to 5 minutes after I start watching a video. This is happening with Alien's vlc package and the one I built from SBo. I even tried rebuilding alien's vlc pkg and I'm still seeing this issue. I am completely perplexed. It was working just fine before this last update.

Here's the output from my command line after it crashes:

Code:

[00007fcf40019300] gl gl: Initialized libplacebo v2.72.0 (API v72)

[00007fcf38019030] avcodec decoder: Using Intel i965 driver for Intel(R) Kaby Lake - 2.4.1 for hardware decoding

Segmentation fault

Has anyone else ran into this by any chance? I have tried rm -rf $HOME/.config/vlc and also:

Code:

# /usr/lib64/vlc/vlc-cache-gen /usr/lib64/vlc/plugins

to no avail. My video card is as follow:

Code:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 620 (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

A little bit more info, the problem appears to be with upnp. I can't seem to replicate this problem when playing an mp4 file. It seems to crash when I play video from my hdhomerun using upnp. This was working fine before the last upgrade. I'll keep digging. Still curious to see if anyone else is seeing any segfaults with vlc.

So, I believe I have solved this issue. I made sure to use the latest version of libupnp, which is currently at version 1.14.1. I modified alien's vlc SlackBuild in order to use that version. The segfaults when using upnp have now stopped. Marking this as solved. Hopefully this will help someone else that may run into this issue.
