I had a locked system with a specific (set?) of mp4 viewing with VLC.
I went to bugzilla.redhat.com to report my system locking up, but seems they do not take bugs for VLC (it comes from rpm-fusion-free).
Where do I report this? Basically with a lecture that I have had no problem viewing in the past with VLC on F32 and Xfce, locked up my system so badly that I had to power cycle.
thanks!

RPM Fusion maintains their own Bugzilla instance for bug reports: https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/
They also have a CommonBugs page, but your specific issue doesn't appear to be listed there: https://rpmfusion.org/CommonBugs
Thanks. Bug filed 6170.

This is _probably_ a graphics driver issue, in that no application should be able to do that. Or, maybe something with VLC. But either way, it's probably not really a _packaging_ problem, and people making packages of this kind of thing for third-party repos aren't necessarily experts in the code, just interested in helping make it easily available. So it's probably better to report to VLC directly.

How do I report to VLC directly?
Also there may well be a graphics driver problem and I really need to make a bug report.
I run 4 copies of Thunderbird from a script like:
export MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1 thunderbird -profile ~/data/htt/Mail & export -n MOZ_NO_REMOTE
each with a different mail directory.
ONLY ONE (the one above) sometimes gets a problem opening a message, and I have to <alt-tab> to get to it instead of it kicking to the foreground. And then it is not fully maximized as all other message openings are. I see in the terminal window where I run the script the messages:
IPDL protocol error: Handler returned error code!
###!!! [Parent][DispatchAsyncMessage] Error: PClientManager::Msg_ExpectFutureClientSource Processing error: message was deserialized, but the handler returned false (indicating failure)
IPDL protocol error: Handler returned error code!
###!!! [Parent][DispatchAsyncMessage] Error: PClientManager::Msg_ForgetFutureClientSource Processing error: message was deserialized, but the handler returned false (indicating failure)
So something is not right....

ARGH! This will be quite a bit to do. First got to join their forums. I did find one that sounds similar:
https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=158585
Then maybe their Github. Doesn't seem to help that I already have a Github account for my IETF work.
Sigh.
