Hi All,
VLC 5.0.3 Fedora 29, x64 Xfce 4.13
Heads up: if you read a zero length *.mp4 file with VLC, the error windows will pop up, start to shimmer, eventually kill VLC, and you will get Logged out -- losing everything you had open. You can log back in, but nothing seems to work quite right until you reboot.
I am not reporting it to VLC as they act like such jerks when you do.

Where did you get vlc?
Running vlc from rpmfusion. vlc-3.0.5-4.fc29 and the others the same under a VM
Not able to reproduce. Get the pop-up and that's it.

You said "VLC 5.0.3".
[root@f29b-xfce ~]# rpm -q vlc vlc-3.0.5-4.fc29.x86_64
And updates-testing only has 3.0.5-10. Thus my question.
I suppose I should have checked the https://www.videolan.org/vlc/ site first. They have only 3.0.5 as the most recent version.
Yes, Xfce 4.13 in a fully updated F29 VM.

Also reproduces if your network connection is down and you want run something from the web. Doesn't crash Xfce though.
