On fedora 23 (XFCE-spin + updates) when I try to play an ASF file, vlc crashes and brings down Xorg with it. The file I try to play is http://www.inf.ed.ac.uk/teaching/courses/nc/hubel_Wiesel_lgn_off_cell.asf The file plays ok with totem or pragha (after installing some plugins), and also worked with vlc on earlier releases. VLC itself works. I tested this on 2 computers both with intel graphics, same results. vlc-2.2.2-0.1.fc23.x86_64 xorg-x11-server-common-1.18.0-2.fc23.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.99.917-18.20151109.fc23.x86_64 I suspect a bad plugin, but don't know how to narrow it down.
Do you have an Xorg.log from after the crash? dmesg may also have some relevant entiries.
