Problem "starts happening" (because i am not sure) since VLC release 3.0.19. i was having a quite large discussion about it and issue was more confusing for me. See WaterMediaTeam/watermedia#29

I can't test old versions on my side because i haven't a mac. I open this issue in case can be solved/replicable on VLCJ.

[caprica]

Is there a minimal, executable, single-class test case that reproduces this problem?

[SrRapero720]

here is

Please also write here the exact versions of vlcj and the JDK you're using, including the JDK vendor. Also the macOS version. I don't have access to latest mac hardware/OS, only previous generation.

I will try and find some time to take a look but I can't promise a timescale.

Is on Gist hs_err_pid_xxxx.log

[caprica]

Well, it would be nice and convenient if you were to write it here rather than refer me to a hard-to read hotspot log.

[SrRapero720]

I am on phone RN, thats why i reffer to hostpot log

[caprica]

I suppose nothing has changed and this is still a problem?

[SrRapero720]

no idea
people with the issue is not longer interesting on test and i didn't get any bug report about.
i suggest keep this open until someone with the same issue appears and help us to find why this happen. Because try to do something is try to cross the street blinded.

[caprica]

I am going to close this issue. I don't have access to M1 hardware to even try to reproduce it.

If in future someone posts additional information, it can be reopened.

[SrRapero720]

someone reports me downgrading to VLC 3.0.18 fixes the issue...

[caprica]

Interesting, this gives hope that it might actually also be fixed in a later version of VLC at some point.

[Him188]

Having the same issue... Downgrading to VLc 3.0.18 did not work for me

Using vlcj 4.8.2

[Him188]

@SrRapero720 Which version of vlcj are you using, please? @SrRapero720

[Him188]

Added dependency "net.java.dev.jna:jna:5.12.1" and it now works!

[SrRapero720]

4.7.3. but 4.7.3 and 4.8.x doesn't have any difference

[caprica]

Added dependency "net.java.dev.jna:jna:5.12.1" and it now works!

Interesting.

[caprica]

If this is confirmed, probably worth making a new release with updated depdendencies.

[Him188]

There are already many similar issues about JNA versions on Mac.

https://github.com/caprica/vlcj/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed+m1

#1145: Oh wow, my bad 5.11.0 does actually fix it

I think it is worth making a new release.

[caprica]

4.8.3 released today with latest JNA dependency.
