On OS X 10.12.6, VLC in particually as this the the app that crashes when trying to play DVD (however .m4v files work fine), I'm trying to generate crash reporter to get details to share on VLC forum, but os x won't generate crash report.

In Terminal, i've done : defaults write com.appleCrashReporter DialogType on

Confirmed: defaults read com.apple.CrashReporter



{
DialogType = on;
crashreport = on;
}



and I do get beachballs in VLC 3.0.3 64-bit, either at the menu when playing DVD's or between that and the main title.

"Force quit" dialog confirms VLC is "not responding", but when I force quit, OS X doesn't generate crash log in Console, nor dialog popup

How can i fix this?
