I experienced this same problem after I upgraded packages on my unstable
desktop recently: VLC would freeze upon startup and the only recourse
was to kill -KILL it.
Following the advice of Bernat Arlandis I tracked down the line in
~/.config/vlc/vlcrc causing the problem on my machine.
Having the line (written by a previous version of VLC):
control=notify:growl
makes VLC 2.0.1-3 exhibit the problem on my machine. Removing that lines
fixes it; VLC plays video just fine again.
Best regards,
Adam
