This issue appears to be unique to VLC from this repo for some reason...
I tried it with a flatpak and it works fine, and I had someone check in an average x86-64 Arch install and they don't have the issue either.

I had reported the issue to VLC upstream but was denied support for a few different reasons but primarily because they don't paackage for Arch and because they claim their bugtracker isn't for user support despite their wiki page claiming otherwise.

I collected a backtrace though, and they seem to think it's a Qt "distro-fork" issue:

We can try rebuilding vlc first. That stacktrace seems to fail at tls.size() <= id.

Can you test the newly build 3.0.18-4.1 if you find time?

@anonfunc Sorry for the delay; I had forgot at some point to come back with my findings

Yes, this is still the case even with 3.0.18-6.1

Going to blacklist vlc then, best option here I guess.

Seems to happen even with vlc blacklisted, somehow, but not with the flatpak?

So maybe a dependency? If you find time, downgrade some of its direct dependencies and check if that fixes it.

Give that it has so many dependencies... I'm not exactly sure which to suspect is responsible 😅

If this is still a problem, try downgrading libmatroska.
