VLC crashes if in loop modes if video is moved or broken.
So I have had this problem for so long. back even before 3.0
I'm watching a video I moved from my camera to my pc.
I then start moving videos I watched and want to keep or delete respectively.
Once I do if I get to that video or if it was broken and in repeat one mode (or loop if i removed all others from play list) it will loop with error message and can't close it tell it crashes.
Possible fix is to add a [5-10 loop failed to play] to stop trying to play with either removing from playlist (if option selected in settings) or just skipping to next in play list if on [one repeat mode] if any in play list if not then says no playable media detected or something.
To stop some older computers (I test stuff on some older pc's win7 low specs pc's) from freezing up completely tell VLC crashes some taking upwards of 5-10 min usually resulting in a force shutdown.
