Can you please try updating and installing the latest build? It is now version 0.35.1-3+22.04.sav0 for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS based systems.

There may have been an issue with dependencies not fully updated in relation to new libplacebo (ie. incorrect FFmpeg 6.0 version built with old libplacebo, not current one) with the last build that caused you the crash. Also, I don't really have experience with that type of crash log myself, but possibly the crash is something libplacebo related.

Please report back if the newest build fixes your crash!

Thanks for confirming the fix. Quite probably something to do with the libplacebo upgrade, as with a previous bug (LP: #1941941) that also required rebuilds after new libplacebo. Closing this bug as completed now.

Happy Easter to you also!
