@Britgirl, @ericmock Okay, I see. Yes, setting

<option key="Enable hardware accelerated decoding" value="disabled" />

instead of

<option key="Enable hardware accelerated decoding" value="false" />

does work and allows me to start the session. Thanks for your help!!

@Britgirl yes, I can confirm that I did have HW decoding disabled in the player config file at the time of the segfault. Like this:

<option key="Enable hardware accelerated decoding" value="false" />                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
<option key="Enable GPU rendering" value="false" />

But the player still segfaults on my system. I have the linux518-nvidia package (version 515.57-8) installed, and running on a NVIDIA Quadro P600 GPU.

When you did your tests showing that disabling HW decoding prevents segfaults, which hardware and NVidia driver version did you have installed?

Thanks!

Just want to report that I’m still having this issue as of Manjaro 21.3.5. The workaround of disabling hardware-accelerated decoding does not work on my system. I’ve attached my config file and the latest core dump.

I am also on Manjaro 21.3.4 Ruah and have exactly the same issue. I’ve attached my coredump, but did not get any errors when generating it.
