Describe here your problem:

I am getting silent crash of the freetuxtv on my system. Have tested already 
any combination of the freetuxtv and available vlc libraries.

I installed freetuxtv from the packman repository (version 0.6.5) and libvlc 
from packman (also tested libvlc from the videolan repository) (version 2.0.5)
and  was trying to lunch any channel from the german group. Unfortunately, it 
segfaults directly after these messages in the shell:

[FreetuxTV]    MESSAGE    : Launching channel 'KiKa (384x288)' at '0:39' -> 
mms://85.239.122.162/mk3w-3faw-3rqf-enc0-kika?MSWMExt=.asf

[0x2b07f4000e98] access_mms access: connection successful

And program window disappears silently without any message.

The same situation is for the current fresh compiled SVN version of the 
freetuxtv:
./freetuxtv 
[FreetuxTV]    INFO       : Compiled with GTK2
[FreetuxTV]    INFO       : Compiled with LibVLC version 2.0.5
[FreetuxTV]    INFO       : Compiled with libnotify version 0.7.4
[FreetuxTV]    INFO       : Loading FreetuxTV 0.6.6

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

expected running program and some video.

If you have compiled FreetuxTV with debug symbol, could you please try to start 
it with gdb.
$> gdb ./freetuxtv

This will help to get a stacktrace when crashing.

Should I install all debug libraries for vlc libs?

Normally, it's not necessary. Be sure, you have the debug information in the 
program  with the command "nm ./freetuxtv". (If not it will show a message "No 
symbols"). Try also to compil freetuxtv with "--enable-maintainer-mode", and be 
sure all GCC optimization are disabled (-O1, -O2...)
