VLC 0.9.8 crashing on FP, anyone with similar problem?

@Mnementh, if you scroll down to the bottom of this logfile, you should see the last things VLC did, i.e., the crash.

By the way, @all, I checked on the location of the log and did NOT find it after the crash. However, I did find a log I dumped manually, which should have been in the root of my SD card - as stated above. It was at another location - which I find rather interesting.

Apparently, the repartitioning still tells apps that there are multiple partitions / SD cards

If I check with a file browser, e.g. OI File Manager (available via F-Droid), then I see under the button/directory link “storage” that there are three directories. The first is /emulated, the second /sdcard0, and the third /sdcard1.

/emulated is created in the moment I power up my device, apparently. In it, there is an emulated SD card, called 0, and a folder /legacy. Both are apparently links to the same content /sdcard0. This is where I found my manually dumped vlc_logcat_$DATE_$TIME.log file

Now, I’ve got three four questions:

  1. Could someone please confirm this?
  2. Could someone who knows something about Android in general, and probably specifically about the FP OS partition unification tell us something about the rationale of this?
  3. Could someone who knows something about Linux and Android (and VLC?) tell us if this is probably a cause of those crashes?
    Most importantly:
  4. If this might be the reason for crashes (and other problems), can we change this?
