Audacious - OLD, PLEASE USE GITHUB DISCUSSIONS/ISSUES

Interesting. I grep'ped for QFontDatabase in our code, and we don't use it directly.

Can you provide a debugger backtrace of the crash? Also, what version of Qt are you using?

Edit: saw that you already provided Qt versions, thanks.

Some others were having a similar issue in Fedora 33 apparently:
https://redmine.audacious-media-player.org/boards/1/topics/2748

Based on the workaround in that thread, can you try uninstalling qt5-qtpbfimageformat (it's not required for Audacious) and see if that fixes the issue?

Ah! I did a quick DDG for that error message and didn't see anything salient; I didn't even know Audacious had forums. Nothing else on my system required qtpbfimageformat ("Qt image plugin for displaying Mapbox vector tiles"), so it was no problem to remove. That fixes the crash.

I've never worked with Mapbox directly, I have no idea what pulled in that library. Suspicious.

Thanks for the quick response, enjoy your weekend!

Okay I was able to reproduce here on Arch Linux after installing qt5-pbfimageplugin from AUR.
