Hi ! I encounter this issue too (complete X freeze sometimes when seeking too much in videos in VLC). I thought that was related to using Nvidia VDPAU. I saw this behaviour on 2 very different machines.
Using KDE Neon based on Ubuntu 16.04. Tried latest NVIDIA drivers & VLC PPA. This PPA is quite outdated, though. But as this is a complete X freeze (sometimes I cannot even switch to the console) it seems quite low-level. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1574354 Title: playing .mp4 in VLC freezes machine To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/1574354/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
