Crash on Android TV when trying to open audio delay or subtitles delay menu

Description

On Android TV, when trying to open the audio delay or subtitles delay menu, the video stops after a few milliseconds and VLC brings back to the browsing menu.

I've been able to open audio delay the menu once which proves the bug is kind of random, yet extremely frequent for me. I've been able to reproduce the bug with local files as well as a remote files.

Here is the logcat at the exact moment of the issue: logcat.txt. It clearly shows a crash.

Please tell me if I can provide additional details.

Expected behavior

The delay menu should open.

Actual behavior

It stops the video and brings back to the browse menu.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open any video
  2. Try to add a delay on the track (see video below)
  3. The video stops and VLC brings user back to the browse menu
