Public bug reported: I like to listen to music I have as videos in mp4 format, however I have noticed that after switching from Xorg to Wayland on Ubuntu GNOME 16.10 with GNOME 3.22 that when I play one of these videos, regardless of whether the window is showing on the screen or not, often the entire screen and sound will freeze, and then it will likely for gnome-shell to restart and I will arrive back at the login screen. A .crash file was generated for one of these instances, but for some reason as the file reportedly has somehow corrupted Apport can't process it and thus I just have to upload it in the .crash file format to this bug report. As it also contains some private information I will mark the report as such as well.
When this happened today this was the output in syslog for the session for VLC: Dec 25 11:52:15 Cat-Bus vlc.desktop[8672]: [0000560b6dba7038] dbus interface error: poll() failed: Interrupted system call Dec 25 11:52:15 Cat-Bus vlc.desktop[8672]: message repeated 2 times: [ [0000560b6dba7038] dbus interface error: poll() failed: Interrupted system call] Dec 25 11:52:47 Cat-Bus vlc.desktop[8672]: Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Dec 25 11:52:47 Cat-Bus vlc.desktop[8672]: Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Dec 25 11:59:12 Cat-Bus vlc.desktop[8672]: Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Dec 25 12:08:54 Cat-Bus vlc.desktop[8672]: vlc: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.
