VLC is crashing on me

Hey again guys! Hope you all had a nice holiday, I'm stumped with this problem unfortunately. Its only occurring on one of my computers, not my main one.

Code: [Select]
 vlc
VLC media player 3.0.16 Vetinari (revision 3.0.13-8-g41878ff4f2)
[000055f8a068d660] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.

I uninstalled VLC, deleted the ~/.config/vlc and ~/.local/share/vlc and reinstalled VLC but its still doing this to me :( same errors. Google hasn't lead me to any solutions so I am hoping someone here knows something.

It is related to issues we have with a ffmpeg upgrade, we are working on it but it may take some times to fix it all
And yes it is pretty recent so you may not find a lot of help

Thank you for the reply, I downgraded FFMPEG. Please let me know when it'll be safe to update again :D

From running check-link-consistency before and after downgrading ffmpeg (I also had to downgrade x264) it showed qt5-webengine and ungoogled-chromium are also affected:
Code: [Select]
ERR   qt5-webengine 5.15.8-1              /usr/lib/libQt5WebEngineCore.so.5.15.8                                libavcodec.so.58

Update - now fully upgraded on the stable repos to the latest version of ffmpeg and VLC, VLC is working fine, qt5-webengine is updated so that seems fine too according to check-link-consistency. Ungoogled chromium is still unhappy, but I have other browsers:
Code: [Select]
$ chromium
