VLC player crash while playing certain *.mkv file (Android 12)

Description

VLC player crashes while playing certain *.mkv files. I've tried the same file with other players like Plex and Miui's built-in player, and there's no issue, so the file is definitely not corrupted. I've also tried disabling hardware acceleration and clearing cache, but both had minimal to no effect.

Expected behavior

Continue playing

Actual behavior

Skip to the end and crash

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open the provided .mkv file
  2. Scrub to anywhere pass 39:50
  3. The player will skip to the end and crash
