VLC has been working however it now crashes when tasked to play a video.
- .mp3 .m4a files (not associated to VLC) do NOT crash and play on VLC
- .mkv .mp4 files crash VLC
VLC was removed and reinstalled:
sudo apt-get remove vlc
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vlc
Version: vlc_2.2.2+git20170721+r59033+56~ubuntu16.04.1_amd64.deb
FFMPEG plays videos.
What tests can be performed to identify the issue's root cause?
Update: VLC was invoked from the command line and tasked to play a video. The crash results include:
user@hostname:~$ vlc
VLC media player 2.2.7 Umbrella (revision 2.2.2+git20170721+r59033+56~ubuntu16.04.1)

Does the same file plays with other players?
