VLC crashes BigBox

[thimolor]

Hi, I found a problem with the WallView including videos. If I change the view quickly between the WallView and the TextGamesView BigBox crashes. This happens in my Pulse theme also. Windows Media Player does not crash, but there are problems with videos not loading at all.

Hi @Juketsu. Thought you should know.

I tried to recreate the issue but am not seeing it happen on my different builds.

Not sure what your solution could be, could be something particular with your machine.

Not sure if it will help, but do you have any log files from when this happens?

Thanks @faeran for testing! I have two Ryzen builds that have the same problem. No log files created. BigBox is not responding. I might google vlc ryzen related bugs and try few solutions from there.

I now know what triggers the crash. You need to click before the video starts in wallview. Then click back to wallview and it crashes. If you let the video start in wallview, it does not crash when returning from the TextGamesView. Really annoying bug. I might change the wallview to start the video immediately.

Thanks for doing some investigation. I was able to reproduce this. We'll definitely look to see what we can improve there.
