Hello. In a 64-bit, openSUSE, Leap-15.3, Linux operating system, which is installed as a so-called "guest" in Virtual "Machine" (VM) in Oracle (Corporation) VM VirtualBox, which in turn is installed in my so-called "host," Windows 10 Home Edition operating system, I have gratefully had success in the playing of a .mp4 (Moving or Motion Picture Experts Group, audio layer-4) file in vlc-beta-20211028.5ed8c5c794-pm153.9.1.x86_64.16.1.x86_64 with the Linux kernel 5.3.18-59.27.1-default. But in vlc-beta-20211104.b9e50b090c-pm153.10.1.16.1.x86_64 I had only the audio signals and not the video signals in the playing of that video. And later in vlc-beta-20211210.736213df13-pm153.17.1.x86_64 with the Linux kernel 5.3.18-59.37.2-default I attempted to open vlc-beta, or the Video Local Area Network (LAN) Client (VLC) multimedia player (VLC) by double-clicking on a desktop shortcut for it, but saw its main window only for a very brief period of time, accompanied probably a short time later with the message "Segmentation fault (core dumped)"; so I could not even attempt to play that .mp4 file normally with this version of vlc-beta when using its probably default, Qt interface.
Do you really need a beta version of VLC to play an MP4? Is there some reason you can't just use the stable version (3.0.16)? I would expect the beta to not work at times, including having segmentation faults.
