This is not a python-vlc issue, rather a vaapi/libva issue. If you search for "libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0 Segfault (core dumped) " you will find other software having the same issue, with solutions ranging from uninstalling libva to exporting a variable (in https://github.com/OpenKinect/libfreenect2/issues/1159 ). If you manage to find the appropriate remedy for you, please post it in this issue so that other people can benefit from it.
