Description of problem: I have found that playing mp4 files with either vlc or xine crash X11. The file plays ok under totem. Xorg.0.log is included below. rpm -q xorg-x11-drv-intel xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.99.917-18.20151109.fc23.x86_64 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Seems fully reproducible. Tried two different mp4 files.

Skype also crashes X11 as soon as it does video.
Finally solved this using the UXA driver see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=349519 Please, other users, try and report back here.
I guess this is not an issue with xine-plugin (or xine) but rather with xorg-x11-drv-intel. And anyway, the xine stack is no more in Fedora, it has been moved to RPM Fusion some time ago.
Solved with latest driver xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.99.917-19.20151206.fc23.x86_64
